“The world knew and kept silent…” Elie Wiesel
The word of YHWH came to me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman; if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn’t take warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn’t take warning; his blood shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul. But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. Ezek. 33:7
My dear Jewish family,
I write this letter with a heart full of compassion and humility. I write not only to you, but to my Christian family as well. Although I was not born into a Jewish family, I deeply love the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.
When I think about Esther, I realize she was a woman of courage. Upon learning that the lives of the Jewish people were in jeopardy, Esther did everything in her power, even risking her life, to advocate on their behalf: She informed the king of Haman’s terrible plot. Backed by the king, she worked to equip the Jews with knowledge they would need for survival.
Like Esther, I have learned of a plot of holocaustic proportions. I grew up in a family that believed discussing religion was impolite. Further, I am non-confrontational. This notwithstanding, the my study of the scriptures convinces me that I must cast away restraint and speak out. The images of the Holocaust of Europe and the Soviet Union are etched in my mind. This time, the radical proponents of Islam wield the sword. In Esther’s day, the Jews were terrorized by one Haman; today, they are terrorized by millions.
Let me make this warning unmistakably clear: If you are Jewish or of Jewish ancestry, no matter how remote, your life is in danger. If you are a Christian who stands with the State of Israel, your life is in danger. Although no one knows the hour, it is just a matter of time before tragedy arrives at your doorstep. According to scripture, Israel is the only safe place. Please choose aliyah.
The aliyah process takes time. Any delay such as waiting until you finish college, give birth to your baby, or begin retirement, may jeopardize your safety. I urge you to begin immediate planning for aliyah to Israel.
Naomi’s Rest, by way of this letter, is issuing a clear warning to Jews and Christians. For clarification, please read The Patterns of Holocaust. We will work diligently to equip you with information required for survival of the coming Holocaust. Again, please choose aliyah. G-d be with you.
Sincerely,
Devorah, Founder

Surely the Lord G-D will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7
The TANACH (The Old Testament in Christian terminology) reveals a distinct pattern:
Before deliverance or mass migration, comes holocaust. For more detailed scriptural support, please see The Scriptures Speak.
This pattern occurred first with Moses. In Genesis, Chapter 15:13, the Lord promised that after living in Egypt four hundred years, the Jews would return to the Land of Israel. The favor bestowed by the government upon Joseph and his brothers diminished as the Egyptians watched the Jewish community grow and prosper in Goshen. Motivated by fear, the Egyptian leaders enslaved them.
After centuries of slavery, the Jews cried out for G-d to send the long-awaited deliverer. Pharaoh’s response was to issue a death decree for all baby boys of Jewish birth. With the exception of Moses, who was hidden by his mother in a basket, all Jewish infant males perished. However, this was not the only holocaust Moses would survive.
Decades later, the Lord’s own words, spoken through Moses, triggered a second wave of holocaust before a mass migration. G-d, through Moses, led the Jewish people to the brink of deliverance. Then, in the last of ten plagues, G-d decreed death to every firstborn male living in Egypt, both Jew and Egyptian: “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every first-born—both men and animals—and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood [which the Jews had been instructed to put on their lintels or sideposts] will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.” Exodus 12:12. The Jewish people paid close attention to these words. Their very lives depended upon their obedience, and thus, they escaped G-d’s death decree. This was Passover, still celebrated today.
Centuries after that first Passover, King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem. Daniel, his three friends, and all of Judah were led away to Babylon where they would remain for a period of 70 years. The exiles returned in at least two waves of immigration—one led by Zerubbabel, the other a few decades later by Ezra.
But, before Ezra arose to lead the Jews of Persia in another great wave of migration back to Judah, the familiar plot to destroy the Jews surfaced, reinforcing the pattern of holocaust. This time, the Queen Esther of Persia spoke up. King Xerxes, deceived by Haman, had decreed death by the sword to all Jews of the Persian Empire. The king was powerless to reverse this decree. The book of Esther chronicles how the actions of one young woman saved the entire Jewish population of Persia from massacre. We celebrate Purim to commemorate the victory of the Jews over both Haman and the death decree he provoked.
Again, the Jews suffered a terrible loss before a deliverer arrived on the horizon. Isaiah 61 and Luke 4:18, 19 describe how this deliverer would preach good news to the poor, comfort the broken-hearted, proclaim freedom for captives, and bring about the release of prisoners. According to Micah 5:2, a ruler would be born in Bethlehem. The New Testament book of Matthew, in Chapter 2, tells how Magi from the East, isearching for the “one who had been born King of the Jews,” came to Herod. Naturally, King Herod felt threatened by the news of the Jewish rival who we now know as Yeshua (Jesus). Warned in a dream of the danger posed by Herod, Joseph, the earthly father of Yeshua, escaped with the child to Egypt. In order to remove the threat of this unknown deliverer, Herod issued a decree concerning all Jewish boys under two years of age in Bethlehem and the surrounding area. The pattern of holocaust continued. The decree was death.
The twentieth century arrived, pregnant with expectation for another type of birth; one foretold to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in Genesis Chapters 12, 22, 26, and 28. The work of the Hungarian ionist Theodore Hertzl in 1897, and Lord Balfour of England in 1917 laid the foundation for the birth of the nation, Israel. As time approached for the prophetic birth, the tragic pattern of holocaust again emerged. Attempting to destroy Israel in the womb, violent pogroms (raids) swept through the Soviet Union. Further to the west, Hitler decreed death to European and Soviet Jewry. Despite the deaths of more than six million Jewish people during World war II, the heavens and nations watched as David Ben Gurion announced the birth of the State of Israel on May 14,1948. The following day, five neighboring Arab states in an act of war, decreed destruction of the newborn state.
Today, many Jews and Christians await the most important deliverer of all, the Messiah. According to the TANACH, His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:4). Although few are aware of it, the return of the remnant of the Diaspora to Israel heralds the coming of the Messiah.
Jews living in nations other than Israel are known as the Diaspora. On the threshold of the most significant event of world history, the deadly pattern of holocaust has awakened yet again. This time, the militant followers of Islam have decreed death to Israel, death to the Jews, death to Christians, and death to any person or nation that stands with the State of Israel. The scope of annihilation is worldwide. This death decree, known as “jihad,” now includes the United States of America.
The push from the enemy to include Christians in the holocaust is due largely to beliefs Christians share with Jewry: belief in the Bible, the coming Messiah, and the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Muslims consider both Jews and Christians “people of the book.” Whether we like this shared “Judeo-Christian” vulnerability or not, Christians and Jews have been squeezed into the same bull’s eye on the target of Islam. Together we stare into barrels of the same gun.
These threats are occurring on the eve of the largest, most dramatic aliyah in history. This aliyah is so significant that, according to Jeremiah, Chapters 16 and 23, people will describe G-d in a new way as a result of His deliverance. “Therefore, behold, the days come, says YHWH, that they shall no more say, As YHWH lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, As YHWH lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them. They shall dwell in their own land.” Jeremiah. 23:7, 8.
The relationship between the Exodus from Egypt and the exodus that is occurring today is clearly seen in the Book of Jeremiah, and Scripture reveals other parallels as well. The Scriptures make no reference to any Jewish people being left behind by Moses when he left Egypt. In fact, the TORAH documents that the Exodus was a sweeping deliverance, a complete exodus of all the Jews. Then with a stern warning, the book of Amos attests to the totality of the next exodus. “For lo I will command and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword which say The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us,” Amos 9: 9, 10. Quite remarkably, displayed on the green flag of Saudi Arabia is one of the emblems of Islam: the sword.
For the most part, this historic aliyah, the grand finale of the ages, has gone unnoticed by the media, the church, and even world Jewry. Then, in 1991, the airlift of 13,000 Ethiopian Jews caught the news briefly. The largest number of Jews, by far, to experience aliyah has been the more than one million immigrating from the Former Soviet Union in the decades following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Waves of increased anti-Semitism in South Africa, France, and Argentina have precipitated the immigration to Israel of increased numbers of Jews from these countries. The numbers may seem small, however, 2004 and 2005 witnessed the largest aliyah yet from the United States.
One at a time, like birth pangs, the assaults have come. A few examples will suffice:
Countless documented cases of terrorism have erupted across the globe.
Other events chronicled in Biblical and world history that warrant inclusion among examples of the pattern of holocaust are the flood massacre that Noah and his family escaped, and the massacre at Sodom and Gomorrah that spared Lot and his family. Sometimes the wicked are destroyed, as in the case of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah. At other times, the innocent lose their lives, as in the case of the Holocaust of World War II. Sometimes the agent of death was a natural disaster; at other times, the agent of death was the sword. Despite varying circumstances, one common thread presents itself: Before deliverance or mass migration, comes holocaust.
The Bible reveals another commonality. A warning and subsequent heeding of the warning, saved lives. G-d always provides an ark of safety. G-d warned Noah about the coming flood, He warned Abraham about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, He warned Moses’ parents about the coming massacre, He warned Esther about the destruction of her people, He warned Joseph about Herod’s plan to murder the infant males of Bethlehem. Stories have emerged from the ashes of the WWII Holocaust that some families fled Europe because they had been warned of Hitler’s ghastly plan.
Today, destruction is spreading across the globe in the form of a sword called Islam. Its shadow looms over Europe where the word “Eurabia” is now spoken every day. While the diligent measures of Homeland Security to protect our borders may buy some time, the seeds of destruction cannot be stopped. It is too late. The stage has been set for the coming of the Messiah. The pattern of holocaust has emerged; it is etched in the pages of history for our instruction. The Bible repeatedly affirms that G-d will not take destructive action without first warning the people. The warning for the coming holocaust has been given. Thankfully, G-d again provides an ark of safety. Israel.
In summary, the major patterns of holocaust throughout history are evidenced in the following events:
