IIRC, when HaShem instructed Gid'on to make war on Midian something like 32,000 answered his Tzav 8. HaShem said, "Too many. They're likely to think their own prowess brings them the victory. 'Am Yisrael need to understand that their victory comes from Me." So about 22,000 were sent home; only 10,000 remained. HaShem said, "Still too many." Ultimately the Jewish army was whittled down to 300.
There was no draft. There was a call for people to step forward and fight. We don't force people to fight against their will, especially not in an army run by Erev Rav who trample all over the Torah and send Jews into death traps to die for nothing.
You're seriously comparing a king conscripting people to work in shifts building the Beis Hamikdash to a heretical government forcing people into an army and sending them into death traps?
The process of Eser Makkot took a year for Yisrael to develop, HKBH could have saved them instantly but allowed the people to absorb the messages.
The attempts to remove the corrupt judiciary is allowing the people to see just how deep the corruption is.
Is it possible that righteousness will emerge from the government slowly to allow the people to develop? It's slow, frustratingly slow, but that's always the way of Geula
No. I've written and spoken about this a lot. Like Chazal say it will be: teshuva. As long as Jews are relying on false idols like the government, the IDF, the UN, American, Trump, their own might and cleverness, etc. they will continue to need to heard hard lessons, God forbid.
Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Unfortunately Jews have gone so far as to ban the name of the God of Israel. When David ran toward Goliath he said the actual name. "But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of יְהוָה of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied." I Samuel 17:45. I doubt that David attacked Goliath shouting, "I come to you in the name of the name."
It will be a new day when Jews say the Name of the God of Israel, יְהוָה the same way the forefathers spoke it and wrote it 7000 times.
It's usually a sign you're a kofer if you deny the truth of clearly stated prophetic messages.
It's also usually a sign that you're desperately trolling when you set up straw men such as "you think you're the only one in the world with the truth".
And since you're just trolling me now on your own Substack, and you've been trolling and harassing me for years, it's time to stop giving you more entertainment and fodder.
The modern state of Israel is Jewish in name only and not a democracy. It's a globalist dictatorship, like most of the world, in various forms tailored to the local culture.

How do you view Shlomo conscripted people (for service)?
You're seriously comparing a king conscripting people to work in shifts building the Beis Hamikdash to a heretical government forcing people into an army and sending them into death traps?
Of course not, I wanted to hear your view of forced conscription vs donating from the heart.

"Is it possible that righteousness will emerge from the government slowly"
No.
How do you see it happening? A revolution?
No. I've written and spoken about this a lot. Like Chazal say it will be: teshuva. As long as Jews are relying on false idols like the government, the IDF, the UN, American, Trump, their own might and cleverness, etc. they will continue to need to heard hard lessons, God forbid.

And if Santa Clause was real I wouldn't get any presents, because I've been naughty.
Torah law for Jews, nothing else. We don't need any cheap substitutes or imitations.
Is there really a demand for a Torah theocracy?
The Torah is not a book of suggestions. And I'm not going to have this discussion with you.

I know what kefira is and don't need a reminder. The sources from Tanach are clear enough and speak for themselves.
Yes, that must be it. So long.
