The Exact Date of Moshiach's Arrival with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] everyone welcome back to the eventbeat madrash welcome home to torah i just want to say tonight hopefully you know this is the the end of our end of the year campaign we are doing a um a fundraiser so if you want to contribute it's up to you it's in your interest it's good for you to support torah so in the link below inside the description box of the youtube right in the youtube description box there'll be a link and we've extended it a few days so even into january 1st okay so jack may 2nd january 3rd all year you have the whole anytime you want you can contribute okay so we are in parties and we're going to talk about some very interesting concepts in judaism it's chapter 40 and then it's not mistaken it's 47 verse 28 okay so it begins by saying that yaakov lived in the land of egypt how many 17 years and the days of jacob the years of his life were 147 years let's say in hebrew one of the things we do here is we try to learn hebrews so i beg you you can follow in the tanakh as we go through the verses but better yet on our web page which also there's a link you just have to find it you have to find the parsha the the year that the the ship was given in and there are source sheets in hebrew okay so let's start the barrett's misrain yes yaakov live in the land of egypt 17 years but yaakov and the life the days of the life of yaakov um there were seven years on 140 so 147 years that's how he lo that's how long he lived but i want to i want to give some background to what we're going to be talking about tonight in when moses was dictated to by hashem the torah each letter where to put the spaces okay so there are paragraphs you open up a torah scroll you'll see paragraphs the only problem is it's not a problem you don't know there's no numbers there's no vowels but there's no numbers there's no chapter numbers in the actual term itself people these old days when i say the old days i mean days of old the ancient days before the printing press right people would say okay it's partial so and so the third aliyah the fifth sentence right and you would know everyone would win everyone would know and when you get called off for an aliyah you would read everybody was literate okay today we barely even know what it says right let alone the numbers now the numbers came from the christians by the way okay that was with the it's before the printing press during the debates the disputations when the priests the bishops would debate with the jews in spain so they came up with they had their own number system and for us to argue or debate or have any conversation we basically fell in line with their numbers okay now our parsha v is going to start in a very unusual place it's in the middle of a paragraph you don't have that there's two types of paragraphs in the torah it's called an open paragraph which means the next paragraph begins and begins on a new line doesn't matter how many spaces there are between the last word and the new line it's a new line it's not a continuation on the same line and then there's a thing called a still a closed paragraph where there's exactly nine spaces nine letter spaces between the last word of the previous paragraph and the new the first word of the new paragraph however ours is considered a closed paragraph with no letter spaces meaning only one letter space between the last word of the last paragraph and this you wouldn't call you would call this in the middle of the paragraph so yes we're going to let's use that term it seems to be like we're starting fresh in the middle of the paragraph which is extremely unusual because you don't have that anywhere ever the whole partial so as i said moses was dictated how to uh lay the paragraphs out in the sacred torah ezra right came along and made up when each week you would read which parsha and and where they begin and where it ends so he ultimately made the decision that the begins in the middle now who is ezra ezra he was a kawaii he was a prophet he was the last of the prophets in fact the prophet malachy maluki he is ezra okay an amazing thing we're not talking about just a sage just some rabbi that made the decision we're talking about it's prophetic and believe it or not this is the best thing you don't even need to read a newspaper you don't have to go every day and spend money or you have to go online and read the newspaper you read the parsha and each there's divided into seven aliyot and each day is an aliyah and there's something important a message a personal message from god to you okay something meaningful okay so that's the outline just to begin with because we're going to be discussing this idea that the c is a not just a closed parsha but an unusually closed partial we're going to call it entirely closed okay with that in mind we are going to open the clear the clear card the clear car begins by bringing a medrush now that medrush is going to give three reasons why this is an entirely closed porsche interestingly rashi brings down only two reasons so what we're going to do is to think deeply that the clear choir is going to help us because we're not all deep thinkers but with the assistance of someone who knows grammar and knows the bible better than we do and has a much clearer mind right he never saw television in his life right 400 years ago right he didn't waste his time reading newspapers and following the news all right we're going to the beach so mizrat hashem we are going to purify our minds through his thought processes and he begins by quoting the measures as we said yaakov lived in the land of egypt as we said seventeen years so lama parsha zest he's quoting the madrish why is departure closed three reasons one i'll just say in english first because when yaakov died that's when the slavery began now the slavery we know didn't really begin then i should say the shibu that's the hebrew sheba means the subjugation the subjugation really began and it was in in stages right stages until even when levy died lady was the last of the 12 brothers to die and that's when things really went downhill okay so there was a process of going downhill so he says ella kevin so the subjugation let's call it that instead of slavery because the slavery didn't really take full effect until later but it was the beginnings only when yaakov died keep this in mind number two that he wanted to reveal the end days everyone is interested in what's going when is the messiah coming when is the messianic age upon us no everyone wants to know so apparently yaakov wanted to tell them but it was taken away from him that ability the divine presence was there with him at the moment and when he was about to reveal he disappeared menu he wanted to reveal the end days but it was it was removed from him the ability was removed from him the third um reason the metric brings down why it's a closed or an entirely closed parsha um [Music] this is a little bit cryptic because what could it possibly mean that was hidden from him or concealed from him or an archangel say removed from him all the pains of the world what in the world does that mean but that's the madrish rabba and this is actually the exact version in the medrash the madras is a tonight source going back 15 to 1800 years ago in 96 uh one now according to the clear car and i think he has a little bit of tongue in cheek i think he's saying it a little bit with some sarcasm but i'm not sure he says kathi hanira shane semac mikra likol hadrasha elu it seems to him that there is no reliance there's nothing that you could use the text to derive these concepts from and the coulomb commit and it's all as if it was through prophecy now what i think he's saying is it's not of this world if you look at the text nobody would see it it's as if it's coming through a dream now i want to stop here and say i'm used to the clear car expressing where you actually can see in the text where the measures from and i'm going to tell you now based on my understanding this is exactly what he's actually going to do but he wants you to get like all riled up hey it looks like there's no reliance on the text but exactly what he's going to do is what he always does is shows you within the text how it really is understood okay so he begins the next paragraph i share nirelli bazaar it seems to me okay my own words according to the clear car leficia this is one particular paragraph like parsha that's unlike any other parshiot it's unlike all the other closed parshiots all the other closed parshiot have nine letter spaces the khan but here in there's no space whatsoever meaning there's only one letter space because it's between words ezra sulfur there's no doubt that when ezra sofia made his decision this is where the is it's goshen let me just read let me just explain what he's trying to say is this is like a holy parsha right partial and last week was parshas viagash and the very last verse in viagash was israel settled in the land of egypt in the land in the area of goshen they acquired property in it and they were fruitful multiplied greatly what he's saying is there's actually a continuation in your mind when you read this think of it like this that that verse doesn't end the verse itself or the concept doesn't end and you flip the page and it's a new parasha it's one long sentence that says like this and we're going to read like this when israel settled in goshen the fact that they settled that is a code word yeshiva for shava shaba means tranquility and peace and the acquired property acquiring property is here the word is the acquisition of real estate that they became wealthy they invested and acquired real estate and the third thing is the year pool the yip the yearboom they multiplied exceedingly they they were very fruitful and yaakov lived it's like one concept these three things and yaakov lived now let's see how the clear car explains it again he says that's what that's what ezra sulfur had in mind by putting a whole new paragraph close proximity without that break as if to read it as one verse read it like this right the yaakov comes right after the age of these roberts goshen the you prove the yearboom therefore he's saying that the drush is not out in netherworld dream world prophecy it's right there in front of you that's why you have these three concepts which we'll talk about now all of them and those three um examples in the midrash as well as the three examples i just told you in the passage of and i'll just tell you so you're aware of it it's in chapter 47 verse 27 remember we're in 47 28 which you would think is like a whole nother partial and it is it's a new parsha but it's still the same paragraph and it's within those three concepts you have divisions of language where you're able to derive out the these ideas okay so let's start with the first idea the first idea we said was when yaakov passed on that's when the subjugation began right so he says kill allah that very first version the language that was used kevan if there is passed on the sheep began we're going to connect those two verses in the following way meaning verse 27 27 and 28 in the following way okay how's that meaning in verse 27 the beginning it says and the yeah the israel it's goshen that israel the jewish people dwelt in an area of the earth right the area of egypt called goshen and what does that teach you from the word your shade yeshiva yeshev is herbalishing yeshiva um is tranquility menuha is a calmness and a peaceness peace that's what the the the yoshi implies okay what about what about the acquisition part they acquired they had a holding in the land the yipro the yearboom mode and we know what that means and they had great uh fertility in terms of reproduction all this took place while yaakov was still alive okay meaning it's going according to the russian then when yaakov died all that ended well what do those three things symbolize freedom and not slavery how shall the menuha are slaves or people under subjugated do they have the freedom to meditate to go out to the woods and right do they have peace in their lives it's very i can only imagine so it's very unsettling so what about the idea of land holding land like property it's been a rule from time immemorial right that people who are slaves cannot be landowners right in fact in halacha we don't have slaves today but if we if we did or when we did if your slave is like your property it's like your courtyard and your courtyard could acquire something if something was thrown into your courtyard you're the landowner you acquire it so your slave who's walking down the street and finds a gold watch we're talking about a situation where there's no obligation to return it and therefore finders keepers losers weepers so your slave is your is like your property it's a it's a walking courtyard if he she picked up you a watch it's not theirs it's yours it becomes the owner of the slaves property so we don't have so slaves cannot own property okay and the idea of greatly multiplying we know that pharaoh saw that we were multiplying greatly and he wanted to stop it so what did he do we put more pressure now go ahead and find your own bricks right go find your own mud and straw right so he worked us from 4 00 a.m until 10 p.m and we were wiped out and tired and tired we got home so the men had no energy to be fruitful multiply hashem did create a miracle so the more and worse that they treated us the more babies we had but that was not because we were more intimate or more often it was the fact that six babies came out of the time okay because we were wiped out the men were wiped out but let's go on to cleocard she says that all took place while yaakov was alive almost was alive his merit he was so righteous his merit caused all these blessings to occur [Music] we can understand that when he died ended everything there was a break there was no more merit of his standing and everything stopped all those blessings ended they no longer had this tranquility and rest due to the the subjugation the lawyers how much more so they didn't have land they didn't have acquisitions of property because they were now slaves subjugated and they didn't they weren't the egyptians were not allowing them to be fruitful multiply ki bikshu meetham lahamita like if you go to exodus chapter one i think it's verse nine or ten um it's number five on swashy right pharaoh said to his people behold the people the people the children of israel are more numerous and stronger than we are get ready let us deal shrewdly with them lest they increase and a war before us and they join our enemies and wage war against us and depart from the land okay so that was the the you know the shrewdness that the pharaoh came up with okay so okay and so we end off that paragraph well the thieves there because of this due to this highest misa yaakov we can actually see that when yaakov died his merit ended and so did all those blessings and so we see that when he died so too we became enslaved and that's the reason for the beginning of the enslavement now the next paragraph is going to discuss exactly the same idea but in a in an opposite way what do i mean if we're saying that when yaakov died the slavery began we're going to say the same words but in a different order we're going to say when the slavery began yaakov died how can that be okay let me give you an example we saw that abraham was his life was shortened by five years why because asaf his grandchild was about to go off and start really messing with the world okay so before he went too far hashem took avram early how do we know back there back then when we learned it we saw that yitzhak lived 180 years and avraham lived 175 back then believe it or not the children were not living longer they were living shorter right adam lived a thousand you know let's just say he was supposed to live a thousand years okay live 930 and every generation on a general basis people are living shorter and shorter and by the time of noah hashem he was he was 850 years old when he died but at the 600 year mark around the time of the flood right after he was coming out of the ark god says man will no longer live to um right old age they have too much time on their hands they're not using it wisely men will only live 120 years so slowly slowly the generations got let's say a shorter life expectancy okay so here we found that avraham lived five years shorter than his own son which is unusual i mean it's unusual for for us okay and so we were discussing this idea how can it be that if that if this the the sheba begins because we're going to conclude that hashem did not want to have the pain that the abraham would experience watching watching what his children be enslaved so let's see how the clear card expresses this idea are behind we're able to say opposite of the conclusion we just came up with it was the beginning of the subjugation which would be would be the reason for his death what does that mean god is the one that caused um yaakov's life to be shortened and he did not reach the length of years of his forefathers shalom so he should not see his children enslaved right in genesis chapter 15 verse 13 it mentions over there in the brit bain of atari in the covenant between the parts that the jewish people the israel would be enslaved and inflicted by them meaning in a land that is not theirs it was bound to happen had it happened so shem took yakov out before that well mar now this is a very interesting concept we're about to read the yikra vu yume that the days of israel came close to die as it expressed it here when the time drew near for israel to die so fazal tell us there's an interesting uh madrish i don't have it translated here that's fine i'll basically read you the idea here that resh lockers had mentioned that russia here in our verse chapter 47 verse 29 that that this is a general statement any time that it says the yikra vu coming close it means coming close what they say but no cigar right they never reached the uh the same years as his as their fathers and he gives another example which is the parsha if a lot mistaken it is the um yeah it is the the torah in malachi chapter one verse sorry first kings chapter two and the days of david drew near that he should die same words and there are proofs over there that um that boaz obed and ye shy the whole span of their the three of those lives were 400 years i mean so if we know that boaz lived until at least 80 probably 80 died uh that night the following day after he impregnated ruth and he was 80 years old at the time so never david only lived to 70. so between all three of them you know you're talking about they lived long you know you shy some even say he lived 400 years but let's not exaggerate right now there's an opinion that between the three of them it was a 400 year period and that's enough for us to get to and they all lived much longer than david did and also moshe moshe says in deuteronomy chapter verse 14 the same idea behold your days are approaching for you to die that's what god says to moshe we know that amram lived does it say here 137 and moshe only lived 120. so there was a gap but it means from one generation to another the gap should have been very small but here yaakov had a large gap even between him and ramen nutrac okay so what does that tell us that means it's proving to us that god took him out early because of the sheba he wanted the sheba to begin and therefore it was the sheba's beginning is what caused or brought about yaakov's death meaning hashem took him out so i just want to make sure the very first case was lama parsha zustuma since when yaakov died the sheba began it's the same thing okay so it's the same version it's just a little bit with a nuance okay and that's what he wanted to conclude there and he he concludes this paragraph by telling us that the number 17 was specifically mentioned to teach us what that from the sale of joseph how old was joseph when he was sold he was 17 years old so that was him yahshua bishop of mitzrayim came somehow this somehow caused let's say metaphysically right there's a karma measure for measure however you want to look at it that those 17 years of joseph's earlier life that yaakov got to experience was parallel in a sense to the 17 years of shalva that he experienced later on in the end of his life okay so that is the cleocard's ex clarification of the first part of the midrash similar to rashi said okay now he skips the second reason because that's going to be the best for last what about the revelation the the um the fact that he wanted to tell the end day when the messiah was going to come he held off that's the second reason until the end so let's we're going to actually going to be the major discussion so he skips right to the third one the third one we said was that god removed from him all that sorrows shabbat now what does that mean what does that mean the fishness our shabbat since that god hid from him all the pains of the world the verse says since yaakov had a very very very tough life right i mean whatever issues he had with his brother asov you know they didn't just go away they exasperated they became worse as time went on you know he ran away asa wanted to kill him and he worked very hard for his two wives and another six years just to gain some property it was not easy i'm sure it wasn't that easy and then his daughter dina gets raped which must be very tragic and heartbreaking and then when he seeks to finally you know retire in israel well then joseph disappears not an easy life and for 22 years he never had closure i mean we're going to see how horrible that was for him he really felt like every day was he was going to die he felt like he should be dead we'll talk about that a little bit later but in in verse 9 meaning in our chapter 47 verse 9 when when when yaakov first comes down to egypt he mentions that he's 130 years old yemen gurai shloshim umachana maraem he says that the days of my sojourning meaning in this world in this lifetime so far was 130 years and they were few and they weren't so great mccomacon nevertheless but the growth the increase of peace that took place for him within those 17 years shiro yeshiva bana of bashava that he was able to watch his children in egypt live in a a certain sense of tranquility the ahazu are it and they were making quite a great investment in real estate the year the year the yipro of the yearbook and they were increasing mightily soros can you imagine people finally they get to retire and they're really enjoying their grandchildren they're enjoying the knockouts they're slapping nachos from their children and grandchildren who are you know going off to college or inventing things or really making a contribution to society so he forgot while all these things are going on during those 17 years all of the bad stuff that happened in this life was forgot it they're all the things that happened by you i'm sorry hello how you it's as if they never were imagine having such tranquility and experiencing your your the i don't know what they call the golden years of your retirement that you forgot the the i don't even mean forget but the troubles that you went through to acquire the final years didn't really they don't look so bad after all right it was all worth it okay more that's why it says it says that the years right it was the day it was the full amount of yaakov's life actually was 147. now how's that we just said when he came down he was 130 and he said how awful things were but by 147 it's referred to as a great life kiosk because by then that 130 years were not even considered they were not considered at all meaning the original 130 years you didn't even count them as parts of his life because they were not they were not part of a real life to incr when you have increase of pains however now the they're all considered good years of his life even though 130 he didn't look at it that way but after experiencing these 17 years these golden years and there's no reason there's a great reason obviously why we call them golden years they they that was really living fishness thomas and now we understand the third we understand better the third reason that russia gave and the madras right that was withheld from him were closed off from him all of the problems of the world that had already passed as if the life that he lived was pleasant and sweet but every single one of those 147 years was pleasant and sweet and you know why shah rabe met joseph because once he had come to this realization yaakov joseph was really alive it was sweet you know it was all worth it now we understand why the words the appear in close proximity to the previous verse mean rashi russians there even though the clear car is bothered we would never have been bothered right we we read raj we didn't realize that he only left he only talked about two of the three reasons but he noticed it he pointed out and he says you know why raj she left out this the the third reason lethia nero lo he's telling us what rashi must have been thinking that according to rashi no lush and richard it's exactly the same as the first in other words when we said the first one was what the first instance of the first one remember he gave two ideas the first instance of the verse was when yaakov died the shibu began but he also said another way to look at is when the sheba began yaakov died and that's exactly the exactly the same as the third because the sheba would have been the reminder of all that sorrows and god took him out early all right wow okay beautiful all right here drum roll please this is what all this is what we've been waiting for and i think this is what i'm going to title it when is the messiah coming and here's the answer okay remember yaakov wanted to reveal the end date and hashem removed it from him should be cash legally what did yaakov wanted to do he wanted to reveal the end days but what happened the divine presence was removed from him it left him lethia bola tariates this is actually coming to answer amar first of all why do we need to know i'm just speak this outside a little bit why do we need to know that yaakov lived in egypt for 17 years anybody could do math i assume if he came down he was 130 the says so and the also tells us that he was 137 when he died right how old was he when he died it's 930 147 thank you 130 when he came 147 when he died that's 17 years so anybody could figure that out so the clear car points this out there must be a reason my commerce milan so why does the torah have to tell me that he lived in egypt for 17 years what we don't know shahid israel we don't know that he lived in egypt for 17 years of course we do share beverly paro omar he even said when he came to paro in verse 47 verse right i'm not sure in verses 2 9 verse 9 the time of my years in my life have been 130. neem cain lama who's rock lamar if that's the case why is the torah coming in tell me shahid khabib so why is the torah telling me he lived for 17 years in egypt furthermore why don't we have that same language over there by abraham isaac or any of the mothers it's actually coming to teach us that the divine presence left him it was important hashem did not want this to be revealed to them at that moment why lethem first we have to know this is the case in chapter 45 verse 27 when um you just get the verse in front of me when the children of yaakov told him that his ch that joseph was still alive you know that they did he didn't believe them at first then he saw the wagons and you believe that but let's read the verse they told him all of joseph's words that he had said to them and he saw the wagons and joseph had set to carry him and the spirit of their father jacob was revived when he saw the wagons because one of the things that made the other brothers jealous is that yaakov was always learning torah with joseph he was his favorite son we already know the whole story right he was his cherished son he was his loved son from rachel he loved rachel more than leia and he gave he gave us all so when he when when he found out that well he assumed that joseph was dead when the children brought this coat that was all bloody he believed that truth told we'll be seeing soon that he didn't believe him the second time when he told me he's alive he did we're going to see that's going to be the punishment for liars liar punishment for liars is not going to be believed people won't believe you okay so they lied and told them he died now when they come and tell him he's alive he didn't really believe them until the wagons appeared fine but look at the hebrew there's two words here there's a revival the spirit was revived so he lost his you know if you're a prophet you cannot be you will not be able to give over if you're in a state of depression if you're at least some some sorrow or sadness you have to be in a state of joy okay so for 22 years he did not experience this but it came back to him when he saw those akka loved but what came back to him life and spirit okay we're going to see the difference between the two in a second what is that explanation is that when he was revived that the shrine came back to him uh had the spirit upon it that means that the divine presence was there vasa daitaka mean uh what would i have thought had i not known this i might have thought that the sherasola of ruach i would have thought that that's yakov you know he's a great person and he had roh kodesh and the spirit uh from him from basically an early age until the day of his death and there was never up or downs no there were ups and downs ins and outs however you would look at it commerce milan no don't think that he had it his whole life as we said the yacob bears and trying arbor says he had life there was this vitality there was this life but not necessarily the ruach the whole time ki bevo limits raym when he comes to egypt he had there was life but not ruach now this is a big question exactly what does this mean i always thought he did have it even when he went to egypt and when he wanted to reveal the truth about the kites about the end of days it was taken away from him i'm not sure how to read it there's different opinions but at least for now we're understanding that when he came to egypt because there is an idea there's no ruach of the highest level prophecy outside the land of israel okay so perhaps when he went to egypt he only had meaning as soon as he went to egypt as soon as he left israel he lost it was no longer with him and in chapter 46 verse 30 so this is also a little bit cryptic that israel when he's met up with joseph right for the first time after 22 years he said i will die this time since i have seen your face that you were still alive so it says i will die does it mean this time it doesn't mean another time good question look at rashi let's look at rashi first it's midrashic interpretation is however i thought that i would die two deaths so hapa means like a second time in this world and in the next world because the sheena had left me when i found out you were dead or i thought you were dead i lost the the revelation i lost the streamer and i thought the holy one bless me be he would hold me responsible now why would gaako feel responsible perhaps because he's the one who sent him uh to find the brothers and they killed him or maybe because he pampered him more that he created the jealousy for whatever reason he thought he was more responsible because he actually thought the the son died but now that i know you're alive i'm only going to die once i'm only going to die in this world but i still have my world to come okay that is uh simple according to rushing the clear car on this verse back in vegas says something a little bit interesting uh different so i have it copied here let's just read through it real quick right i'm going to die this time or once the fish because before this moment i experienced all kinds of pain meaning thinking you were dead and i yaakov was considered like dead i was like dead ki'ilu kavar mate as if i'm already dead that's what he meant i already died in this room i basically i might be walking on two legs and eating but i'm i'm dead dead inside but right now it says the yaakov's spirit was revived he became like a living person as because we said as if he was dead from now el hamita but now i can be designated now i'm ready and prepared to die rock because i was already considered dead from all the pain that i experienced doing there similar as if the ko yong who made during those 22 years it's like he died we'll just add it up 22 years times 365 days right every day i experienced death the taste of death been thinking my my favorite son was dead and i didn't even have any closure the name of the yacht but now our verse says and yaakov lived in the land of egypt 17 years and we know that the the verse continues in the days of his life 147. that the fact that he was able to live shalva in a peaceful tranquil existence during those 17 years it's retroactively it's similar retroactively as if as if he was alive or 147 years meaning pleasant life and therefore that's really called true life that's really truly call living okay let's go back into the clear car where he says like this we're right after the verse 46 verse 30 right if that's the case it means immediately after he what knew that joseph was alive he was prepared and ready to give the command of concerning his last will and testament because of his impending death via but and it was hashem who was concerned lest he reveal the end days god did not want him to reveal the end days we're going to find out why al qaeda was removed so he was prepared and ready for death at this time and hashem knew this what happens when you're prepared and ready for death you read your will you're a lawyer right you get your house in order and you make sure that your will is up to date so the clear card says the dying law you've done amazing time to stop this it's very nice to tell me that he wanted to reveal the end and it was removed from him the ability to do so but why why that's the question akimbo parsha zoo stuma this is the reason why the parsha is closed to make that close proximity to the verse the yeshivarits goshen that israel the jewish people live in the area called goshen lithius this is well known they everyone knew this it's a well-known idea that if you know the the day the mashiach is coming what's going to happen great damage great damage great damage now it's true that every generation the meshiah could come meaning from the time of admiration until today and we know great rabbis in the past has said just like rabbi great rabbis today we're on the threshold of machia coming and that's all true right the reason he hasn't come is because of us we're not ready we have to get ready and they want to encourage us to get ready right there's still work that we have to do so as long as we keep doing the work we're getting closer and closer so it's all true he's really here he's right around the corner he wants to reveal himself but there's something we have to do okay and we're going to find out what that is and why god did not want him to reveal the date i'm going to read that again because it's very important but see how you do from that what is well known a concept that is well known that great damage could come as a result min you decides from knowing the end mean for any earlier generation low to yeah if they know that the redemption could not happen or will not happen in their lifetime in other words let's say whatever gender let's make up a generator we lived 300 years ago and the rabbi said he ain't coming for another 300 years so how would they feel they would give up any hope of trying to do the right thing of doing any kind of triva of living a religious lifestyle of handing down perhaps uh the important traditions i have no idea but i mean i do have an idea because i know that assimilation is rampant amongst people who are not connected now wait do we hear a verse from isaiah but that's in the next paragraph let's just get this principle down that if you know that it's not happening in your lifetime hashem you will not seek out that intimate relationship you could have with hashem of the alatomora in order to direct to request right we want mashiach now right and we don't want to wait right there's a song like that so imagine us saying ah let the great grandchildren sing that song we don't need it so the queen parish there's a book called the arcade and he explains a very similar idea on the madrish when yaakov wanted to reveal the end days what does god say now i want to say that whatever we read in the prophets is there's nothing new okay so god said something through isaiah in chapter 43 verse 22. and that was applicable at all times and it was especially applicable then when yaakov was when the shekinah was removed from yaakov this is the idea yeah i said isaiah 43 23 but you did not call me oh yaakov meaning look what rashi says but you did not call me and you're turning after idolatry for you wearied of me you quickly re weird of my worship you were no longer interested in my in a relationship with me this is the do you understand that if you were told meshiach's coming in 300 years so you're like where's my relationship with the almighty like you know like it's a mistake that people have they think first of all many people think that i mean i'm not jews thank god but christians especially they think that meshiach is god right the kingdom where he may represent the kingdom of god on earth then the ultimate you know hopefully soon we should come in our days right in a pr in a utopian in a practical way having the kingdom of god he's like a representative but he's not god right but if you're not looking towards the redemption you're not looking for a relationship with god so that's the major issue here and he brings down this verse in isaiah meaning to say shalom that you that the people who are no longer looking for what for mashiach they're not having any pity they're not having any relationship uh regarding god's glory keep me a diazo because from within this knowledge if you knew when mashiach was coming that would what be a catastrophe that would cause this great damage shalom city you will not call me you won't call upon me you don't care well your vaccinate had dorothy mean that the earlier generations if it's not happening in your lifetime you wouldn't seek it out because you know it would not happen right and so what would you do instead the avak should lead lay shade yeshiva keva the art so i mean you would end up looking for what a permanent residence in the nations the far in the land of the nations you would assimilate you would build big homes you would give up any hope of ever coming back to earth's israel you would rather instead make major real estate investments like permanent residents who commit ayashi and totally give up hope abandon your or despair of ever being redeemed arcane satan hashem and this is the reason why hashem removed the ability for yaakov to reveal the end days kid day well he uses very strong words that's why he closed it and sealed it the dates kadesha behold door of the door so that in each and every single generation javakshu at paneshen will seek out will seek out and want that relationship not only with hashem that david malcolm but with king david with david their king meaning with the continuation of the seed of yehuda the seed of and what they should not do they should not seek out to be permanent residents in the nations of the world but rather what should the jewish people do they should be in anticipation on spilkas right constantly waiting looking forward to the end and salvation consists continuously and always now this the cleo card live 400 years ago and he's saying just like in our sins we're sinners 400 years ago meet a zoo we are actually transgressing this character trait mitsuya beneno which is found amongst us bismarch ain't no case no imagine he's talking 400 years ago they didn't know when when the messiah would come when i talked about the land of egypt they didn't know when the messiah was coming either yaakov was going to reveal to them but they knew they were going to leave egypt right when 210 years they knew they were going to be only let's just say not my clocus but two ways to look at it they didn't know exactly when it could have been 400 years but at least they knew it was going to be not more than 400 years okay i just want to show one thing did i bring it down here i might not have just to keep in mind i just want you to know that when the jewish people were taught to go down to egypt the word radu is used and redo is the the um is the machia of 210. okay well we'll do we'll deal with that another time but i'm going back to the clear cup because he's really he's giving his own he lived in prague right and i've never been to prague but i heard this magnificent homes right castles i mean it's really you know something to look at so he had a very wealthy community and he told them you guys are are investing all your money into these homes they're going to stand forever and that's not what you should be doing you should be moving to aritis for ale you should be hoping make sure your money is fluid listen to his words in our own generation when the end is not known the comma come robbing him so many people are ignoramuses amit yashmeen dwell in the lands of the nations even in in the um the famous kuzuri levy he was the one who really you know didn't know what to answer the king the king says okay everything you say is true if everything you say is true what are you doing here right he was an apologist for the jewish people explaining how judaism is true and it's all about living in the land of israel and the king says to him and he says you're right we're all hypocrites we're all hypocrites so listen he says themselves palaces very important buildings of stones buildings that will last forever zeus for this very reason hashem and that's why they're not looking for that intimate relationship with hashem behold with their entire hearts on in order to bring them home in order to bring them back to their land i hope this really resonates or stirs up the pot here that this is why hashem will leave them there right that's exactly why four fists of the jews ended up dying in egypt in the ninth plague the three days of darkness because they didn't want to come to israel that's what rashi says and that's the tuma that's the tumor i i mean if there's any jews listening to this oh yeah i'm so religious you know i do all the stuff all the myths is but you have no desire to come to australia i understand things may be tough i'm not trying to tell i'm not making any judgment some people have a lot of people that they're taking care of right i get it there's no judgment here on any individual everyone has their own reasons and excuses but in general there's something wrong if so many of the jews are sitting over there not making their way over here okay the last paragraph we're going to deal with is on ratio dialect at the very top according to this thesis according to this proposition the very verse the yeash of israel the eretz goshen that statement that israel lived in an area called goshen mid israel it's speaking of the guilt guilt guilt of the jewish people they wanted a part of the land right they invested now if you're investing for business that's one thing right that's fine you can have a good business make your own real estate but if you want it for your own self and your own life over there it's a big mistake the nezik zebolam this is why all the damage came to them the fisher caves shakets galoot mitzrayim hayan nogulem the actual end of the 400 year exile was known to them al kane had doris rishonois roshoni that's why those earlier generations those earlier generations they didn't think they didn't believe that it could happen to them because they knew in other words the lesson i'm not going to say god made a mistake god wanted us to learn when it had 400 years and we weren't there yet so we get a lot of us gave up hope so he he made sure that the end nobody should know so that the hope would never be given up on okay surely i'm yeshiva because right they gave up on all sorts of faith that they would be redeemed so they sought out a permanent residence the hizaba smithsrayan in egypt that's why that verse in verse 27 is connected to our verse 28 to teach us that that damage extended into the other generations because it was their their end was known to them and it was it considered them because it caused that only yaakov would end up being alive meaning the life force of the lord yakov but not the spirit yaakov lacked the spirit of lovato and it was only yaakov that was alive in order not to reveal in other words he didn't have the ruach so that he could not reveal the end days excellent so that this would not spread like like a virus amongst the jewish people so barack hashem there have been jews throughout the last 3 300 years that have been true to their faith right and passed it on as best as they could to their children that they're any day any day the meshiah could come in every generation and we're eagerly awaiting eagerly awaiting right for the to happen for the as we say mashiach kano the righteous messiah anointed one who will be i'm not sure of the order but let's just say according to rambam right he will fight our wars right he will cause us to do truva he'll cause us to return to the land of israel rebuild the base of mikdash and bazrat hashem will all witness it soon in our days and i wish everyone a great shabbos a great week and a great life okay so keep praying and keep working on your character and strengthening the jewish people and mashiach is already on its way [Music] me
