you're listening to the 158th edition of
the podcast and we're going to continue
inim from
rund which are quoting from toim and
we're in chapter
37:34 there it
says hope to hem and keep his
way hem will raise you up in order that
you should be able to inherit the land
simp understanding inherit the land of
Israel but it also means the also refers
to eternal
life you will see that this is true when
the wicked ones are cut
down so it's basically saying when the
evil seem to be succeeding as we've been
speaking about in the previous weeks in
the previous Pim when the evil seem to
be
succeeding just hold on hold on
I'd like to read to you from the before
and
after says like
this it says in chapter 37 verse
32 the righteous
one so the wicked one looks
at the righteous one and he tries to
kill him wants to kill him
Shem will not allow this to
happen not he will not allow the
Judgment of the the wicked one to come
true here's
our verse
34 the BK tells us it looks like the the
wicked one has power it looks like the
wicked one is winning it looks like the
righteous are being themselves they're
humbling themselves to the
wicked don't fall for
it what it seems like on the outside is
not the true is not the truth it's not
the true
reality P Hey listen on till the end
here because it's really
important says King David I've seen a
wicked person who is successful who's
rich
he looks like he's a a upstanding
citizen King David says I experienced
with my own eyes I've seen this in my
life that that person who looks like
he's so
successful he just
disappears the person who is whole who
is Simple who go goes with hem
without without trying to calculate
without trying to understand so much
just go simply with
God in the end the man of
Peace just wait just wait be that person
who Waits who's a man of
Peace those who are sinners those who
are evil they are cut down in the end
and the salvation of the righteous comes
from God sorry we have some bugs here
the the salvation of the righteous comes
from Hashem he is the one who they can
depend upon in the time of difficulty
last BK of the
chapter God helps them and he gives them
salvation he saves him from the wicked
because Hashem sees the righteous have
trusted in him in
God says the trying to
understand to hasem keep his ways he
will raise you up you will inherit the
land the wicked will be destroyed
they'll be cut off you will see
hope to and keep his
way if you have been lowered if it seems
like your enemies are winning if it
seems
like you are being cut or you're being
lowered Hashem will raise you up in
order to inherit the
land
beage and you will see the wicked are
cut down
even if you see it seems that the wicked
are succeeding it seems like they
are they're having success don't be
fooled can to come upon
Russ says King David I've seen many
times a wicked
person what does it
mean he is wicked and he seems to
succeed
he says that despite that the wicked
look like they're winning the wicked
look like they're
succeeding nevertheless in the end they
will pass
on they won't continue to
exist I'll look for them you won't find
them Israel has had many foes 3,300
years we had foes of amalik of the
midianites
we had the moabi people the Ammon people
the
Philistines the Romans the
Greeks throughout history there have
been so many have come as we spoke about
in the a they've come to try to cut us
down but in the
end they disappear and we
continue and the opposite of this is
what the said later on which we read
together keep your Simplicity and make
sure that you stick to being
straight if you watch the person who's
simple or you yourself remain simple
connected to God despite
everything you're going to see in the
end that even know you do get you do
have difficulties you do have challenges
but in the end it works out
that's what the means when it
says that the end belongs to the man of
Peace in the end the man of Peace the
one who maintains his connection to
truth to Godliness to what's right
that's the one who's the last man
standing that's
the says like this
it says the according to
the when you see the greatness of the
righteous individual you see the
Perfection of the righteous individual
and you see how he has Divine assistance
attach yourself to
him even if by doing so you attach
yourself to the righteous you're trying
to do what's right and the wicked person
one who we spoke about in
previous
the the one who does all kinds of
calculations and puts in all kinds of is
puts in efforts and more efforts and
more efforts he says what are you doing
you're attaching yourself to a you're
trying to
have quit it put in more
efforts hope to hem have strengthen your
B H will save you from the hands of the
wicked don't be like somebody
who wants to immediately get their
revenge against the wicked person who's
trying to kill him right that's
before don't do that
maybe or let's say you have somebody is
trying to bring you to court to to to
knock you down to steal your money Etc
to cause you to be found
Wicked don't fall for
it hope to hasem Hashem is going to take
care of me he's going to he's going to
bring about the Ultimate N the ultimate
Revenge keep hm's way what is hashem's
way Hashem is patient doesn't get angry
immediately in reward for your waiting
in reward for your faith and trusting in
hem will raise you
up you will take over the land of the
wicked you will rejoice when you see
that they are cut
down the the wicked
are they will die an early
death or they will be cut down by others
not by your own doing they'll have
internal strife they'll destroy each
other our
enemies but you don't have to be the one
to do
it since he said that you will see King
David said you will see the evil ones
are cut down so immediately
says I saw this many times that a wicked
person seems to be
successful he's powerful in his own
strength in his
wickedness but in the end it doesn't
work out for him
when I was thinking about how did he
have such a a meteoric rise to power how
did he seem to become so successful so
fast by the time I thought about it he's
gone because some Godly circumstance
occurs and he loses his life in a sudden
way
so the bottom line is that when it seems
like the wicked are succeeding when it
seems like those who trust in
Hashem are having a hard time don't give
up hold on tight wait wait wait don't
give up right before the miracle
happens says the
iits aftering David speaks about the way
that Hashem protects there's Divine
Providence for the righteous say and the
Order of how that
goes if you read through the in this
chapter it's very K it's very worthwhile
it describes how and we saw also
together how takes care of the righteous
individual it's
tremendous Divine Pro
Providence he says don't don't um think
about and
and and overly contemplate what I'm
saying and look around and say hey is
that really how it
is to keep his
ways don't look at the way things seem
to to flow the way things seem to go
don't look at the way the Stars seem to
have the astronomical effect or
astrological effect on the world or just
the there's a it seems to be there's a
way of the world that those who do this
this result don't look at things in a
superficial
way let's say you're the kind of person
who by your nature it seems
like you always have bad luck you're a
lowly person let's say a person sees on
themselves that they're lowly don't
worry because raises up the one who is
lowly the tah tells us that an
individual who is so to speak lowly who
seems to be let's call him unsuccessful
or yeah not not the not the luckiest
person let's say some raises up that
person hasem takes the people who are
Hoy and successful and seem to and seem
to be
seem to have figured it out so to speak
he lowers them to
Earth even
if their natural way is their tea is
there it seems that they were born with
all the
luck sh will lower them to the Earth
it means to say that the way that things
seem to be naturally created that person
has that person is a good-looking person
that person has all the luck that person
is Rich they were born into a wealthy
family Etc all of the good things that
seem to
be that's not what makes the man it's
not what makes the person successful
really what really makes the person
successful
is when when a person becomes Hy and
becomes full of themselves they lose the
they lose that Divine assistance the
more that we have we remember it's all
from him the greater is our chance of
spiritual success and physical
success he brings here on the bottom I'm
not going to read it all
inside he brings on the bottom that D
saw this in his own
life there was a person who was alive at
his time
was an incredibly wise person the T
describes him as somebody who was on the
what the advice that he would give the
the and the we could say his intuition
was so on the mark that the Pu
says it was akin to asking the a
question or asking a na'vi it was just a
person but he had an incredible
intuition he was very very
wise took the side
of DAV had a son his son rebelled
against him his son was running after
him to kill
him took the side of Shalom and gave up
Shalom advice that he should indeed kill
his father
D but in the end King David didn't kill
a ended up committing
suicide when it came time to go to the
Bas medes that's how he finishes off the
description when it came time to go to
the
B they went looking for and he had taken
his own
life David didn't have to go to any legs
to get he didn't have to do anything to
to take care of to get person is person
Rebels against the
king they're liable for death didn't
have to do it D saw in his own lifetime
that the wicked
person even if he's great and he's wise
and he has all the ANS
ERS in the end the wicked person falls
you will see this says King David you
will see
this that's the
iits last Point here from the
bear we have two conditions here two
points one is hoping
right right those are the two
things what does that
mean means taking all of my intellectual
capacity and pointing it right is like a
line pointing itav not exactly the same
word but pointing it directly at
God not do
anything with my calculations trying to
figure it out trying to do it the way I
think it's going to
work the second aspect here is keeping
God's
wake I need to keep
hashem's path I need to make sure I'm
staying on the the path that
Hashem has laid out for me if I want to
be
righteous all the promises of hem to the
righteous there are special promises the
righteous have but they're un
condition that is that they keep God's
covenant right like we say in the prayer
in
the the the one of the blessings which
speaks
about it speaks about the righteous want
to be like the righteous be like the
God is called the one who is trusted and
leaned upon by the
righteous so if I have these two things
number
one focusing bringing all my intellect
Gathering it in on doing God's
Will and making sure I'm
keeping his laws and his statutes the
path of the righteous I'm trying to stay
on the path of the righteous so I get
two Returns on my
investment first is Will Raise Me Up to
inherit the
land she will raise you up higher than
the intellect and above nature right if
I take my intellect and I completely
directed towards godliness greatness
Supernatural way of being which is what
the Torah expects of us wants of
us we can do it so I am raised up above
nature no one else can inherit what
what's
mine no one else is using natural means
can get what I'm going to
get they can't take what's mine now
because I've risen above them
everything is in's hands alone because I
where I place myself in hm's hands
alone and the second return of my
investment
in if I keep his
ways I will be able to see
myself right
say it's a merit to be able to see the
downfall of the
wicked we go through life we read the
news we see what's going on around us it
seems like those who are wicked those
who are evil they seem to succeed they
seem to be given a hand they seem to be
surrendered
to they seem to
win but when we see the truth which is
what we spoke about at the beginning and
we're going to speak about it here in
the end is that in the end when we see
the truth that in the end
those who remain faithful to
truth they are raised up they are the
ones who win so to
speak it's a tremendous a tremendous
Merit to be able to see the downfall of
the rashim of the wicked to be able to
see
that we're waiting for that moment when
all of
those who have been done what's wrong
who have done what's wrong who have
caused other is to fall we can look
around we could see
it I don't need to give you any examples
but when we when we do what's right when
we apply ourselves to the path of the
righteous to to try to stay on that path
we focus all of our intellect all of our
emotions all of our being to doing hm's
will to hoping to hem having to doing
God's will to keeping the to learning
the T Etc when we do that in the end we
will see the downfall of the r of the
wicked may it be speedily and in our
days thank you so much for listening see
you again next time
