The Torah expert also cited Genesis 1:14 in his controversial claim: “Hashem said ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate day from night; they shall serve as signs for the set times—the days and the years.'”
The rabbi added the interpretation of these ‘signs’ will be essential in the days preceding the Final Redemption as God’s intent will be expressed in nature.
Rabbi Berger said: “The Sun and the Moon are how God will announce the Final Redemption, so everyone can see and everyone will have the ruach hakodesh [holy spirit, prophetic ability] to understand.
“This was also true before the Exodus in Egypt, when all the Jews were given the prophetic ability to understand that it was time. Unfortunately, even then, some chose not to leave Egypt.”
