Rabbi Moshe Shternbuch makes a fascinating statement about the Jewish Moshiach (Messiah), Russia, and Istanbul

Rav Shternbuch received a closely guarded secret that came to him from Rabbi Yitzchak Chever zatza”l, who received it from Rabbi Chaim of Volozhyn zatza”l, who received it from the Gaon of Vilna himself, who revealed it shortly before his death: “When you hear that the Russians have captured the city of Crimea, you should know that the times of the Messiah have started, that his steps are being heard. And when you hear that the Russians have reached the city of Constantinople (today’s Istanbul), you should put on your Shabbat clothes and don’t take them off, because it means that the Messiah is about to come any minute.” – See more at: http://lazerbrody.typepad.com/lazer_beams/2014/03/rabbi-moshe-sternbuch.html#sthash.5IVCpWNV.dpufhttp://www.jewsnews.co.il/2016/01/05/rabbi-moshe-shternbuch-makes-a-fascinating-statement-about-the-jewish-moshiach-messiah-russia-and-istanbul/
