Does this prediction by Rabbi Silman about Mayor Harish “shooting like a bow” that actually came true and “his bow was shaken” tickle the theory that he left the country a little?

I know that your philosophical-religious view is built on a very “Lithuanian” foundation: a distance from mysticism, from direct providence, from any evidence of divine language as speaking through reality. But I ask myself — and you — does such a line of thought indeed necessarily indicate a high intellect?
After all, there was already another man in the world, “Lithuanian” in character, who insisted on continuing this line to the end – Hiel Beit HaLei. He built Jericho, despite Joshua’s curse, and his first son died. Then the second. The third. What did he think when his fourth son died? Did he console himself with a philosophical separation between faith and his experiences as a father? Was he also a “rationalist” loyal to the point of moral blindness?
I wonder — honestly — whether you too, if you were in his place, or in the place of a bereaved father who suddenly finds that some prophecy from “irrational” sources has come true one after another, would you really continue to hold this position?
Ultimately, there is a difference between typing articles from an armchair and paying such prices with body and soul.
My question is not only theological, but human: Do you have a threshold point — existential, not intellectual — that will break the conceptual framework, or will the method always triumph over intuition (emotional and perhaps in a so-called “zero is possible” mental camouflage)? Maybe. But when it happens exactly according to the “prophecy,” it’s hard to continue calling it coincidence without closing at least one eye.

You are asking a question about psychology. It is really not interesting. A method is formulated with the mind, not with the stomach or emotion. And if a person, due to psychological distress, deviates from his intellectual conclusion, he fails. I see no point in dealing with the question of when and whether I will fail. I don’t know how to answer that either.
