Call Of Moshiach 8 - Troubled Times Moshiach Signs

if is is so mhia can come in an easy way without any difficulties we're not serving hem properly so then the Messiah heaven forbid has to come in a way which is challenging the call of Masia podcast with Ari goldwag you're listening to the eighth edition of the call of mssiah podcast in the last podcast we spoke about the fact that Omi who built a city Shon in Israel because of it even though he was a great Russia was very Wicked but still he was to have kingship for himself in his Generations so I figured this week it's beautiful to have y shalam in the background but B is also beautiful and it's being built up watching erell grow out right now in an area where it's next to a park it's a little bit overgrown but you see behind me the the buildings that are going up her Israel is being built beautiful from communities sprouting up here at her Israel it's happening before our very eyes we're going to start now the has a few chapters the first chapter again was living in the times he passed away he was killed by the Nazis and or more accurately I think by a Ukrainian Ruffian but he was living and he was in a concentration camp and he was speaking he starts off the safer talking about the fact that right before mhia comes the way that the Messiah process evolves is through tremendous difficulties for am Israel and he was explaining that if there are difficulties it's a a tremendous sign for the fact that we're very close to msia and I'm going to read to you a bit of what he says and I'd also like to read to you from the saor of Al uh the gift of Isel I'd like to read you another story about Fitz let's learn together from and as the sun goes down maybe you'll see the buildings behind me get a little bit more visible not so not so bright he brings here at the beginning of the sa per per the first chapter is called the chapter of difficulties and the birth PS of it is known that for the Jewish people the fact that the Messiah will arrive for us the children of Abraham Isaac and Jacob tomu the students of Moses the Servants of our Master King David who CL it's an absolute basic foundation for Jews is going to come it's something that's set in our hearts from the from our oldest ones to the youngest ones is very deep nothing can change our feelings about it no winds can blow us down we know mashiach's coming we know the Messiah will arrive it's it's something that we know in our guts and even if it's taking its time mhia process is unfolding slowly and in our times it's unfolding very quickly but even if it's taking its time doesn't seem to be happening yet we wait for it every single day we know it's going to come we are not going to say when we think mashia is going to come or it's if it hasn't come by now it's too late we don't speak that way when Mia will come is something that's completely hidden it's not known something that nobody knows as says someone will tell you when the Messiah is coming don't believe him something that was not revealed as it were from hashem's heart to his mouth it's it's not something that we know about those who know don't speak and those who speak don't know as they say as the ra speaks extensively in his explanation the mishna in sanin like the says as well see there but our sages our prophets they prophesied and they said is follow they spoke about the fact and it was in many places it's in the G it's in the there'll be tremendously difficult situations that the Jewish people will endure they'll be chased after they'll be killed right before the Messiah arrives man and from this alone you can recognize that we are very very close says as our holy say the Gus the Exile gets to its worst immediately before the Gula is to come before the Redemption is to start to sprout and in the language of sprouting right if we look at the last 75 years we can watch an incredible growth starting perhaps 100 years ago but maybe even more incredible growth that slowly slowly has burst forth into incredible proportions me I think that's what it I'm not exactly sure there's an abbreviation here but see this safer by he speaks about the concept of the 2,000 years of we find that Rashi says this in regards to the in in isah 26:1 17 like a pregnant woman as it comes closer to to giving birth so the way that it happens is as she gets closer to giving birth has tremendous pains that's how it's going to be in front of you Hashem so he's saying that messia comes you know that we're already where we're talking this C was written in 1943 so it's it's 80 81 years ago but we know he was saying at that time we know that we're at the cusp of something incredible because the difficulties are so great this is what Rashi says we see difficulties getting renewed more and more difficulties and we can determine that these are signs of salvation of redemption we know that we're going to be redeemed in the same way that a woman gives birth which is in tremendous pain at as the birth occurs so too is is it going to be with messiah's arrival the says this is how we were or this is how we're going to be in front of you hem explains Rashi because in front from in front of your G from in front of your decrees all the difficulties and destructions that are occurring to us at this time we're talking during the Holocaust we need to carry them who could say this except for him we need to carry them and we need to endure them as best as we can they're considered like a sacrifice that we're offering to as brought from the r in the introduction and not to fall down into any kind of doubts about this but for sure absolutely this is something that we can be sure of that that if difficulties and challenges are happening it's a sign and we're very close and I want to tell you something you know I was this past shabas to have you we read the par and I was to have a a guest in my house we just made Al just came few months ago a couple and their their three kids moved from America moved from New York she was teaching and living on campus in Colombia and they didn't plan to make Aliah that wasn't their plan for that moment but after all of the difficulties that they endured their family they had to go different ways in order to get to different places they had to use different parks they they felt like we got to get out of here we have to leave we have to go to Earth Israel but as we're going to see as says sends difficulties know obviously they were inside of the thick of it but hasem sends the difficulties for us to recognize that it's time for us to come home I'm skipping a little bit because he talks about not to fall into the Trap of of doubts and thinking maybe hasem has forsaken us and all these kinds of things those who fear God and attach themselves to they don't attach themselves to the negative ways of those around them and those who deny Hashem and those who say perhaps everything is just happen stance but rather they discuss things with each other not to attach themselves to those ways they each other they strengthen each other says I waited for was hiding his face from the house of Jacob and I hoped to him this means that even though Hashem sometimes hides his face as it were from from the house of Jacob nevertheless I will hope to here's the the words that we say to each other in the times of challenge he writes it into a book that he that he will bring out to remember when indeed the day of of reward and salvation comes Hashem sees the difference between those who turned away from him and those who stayed connected to him and trusted him through all the difficulties a person has to strengthen himself in times of difficulty and recognize and not fall into the Trap of thinking negative thoughts call the difference it will be it will be it will become clear to everybody the difference between those who serve Hashem despite it all and those who turn away from Hashem in times of difficulty like we say despite it all despite all the difficulties we don't forget you hasem okay the question is why why does have to go through such intense difficulties before mhia comes before the Messiah arrives would it be better fores to to bring us here in a happy way in a joyous way can not save us without giving us difficulties could come without any difficulties says that's explains with his incredible spiritual Insight the reason for this matter the truth is that there are two aspects of the first is the exalted nature of the great nature of if is we Merit soia can come in an easy way in a in a pleasant way in a good way as our SES say the second way that it comes is if we're not if we don't have the proper merits if we're not serving hem properly so then it comes in a way where we are poor where we are pressed this is what says in Z your king will come to you riding on a donkey he's very poor he's riding on a donkey he doesn't have a fancy Tesla he's riding in a beat up old station wagon from the 1970s this aspect is where M comes and he is poor and we are poor riding on a donkey that's the aspect of riding on a donkey for not for not meritorious if would be properly fulfilling hashem's will serving Hashem doing his doing his Commandments as so then would receive redemption in a in an unbelievable way in a way that is raised up if we don't do hashem's will if am is is not properly serving God so then the msia heaven forbid has to come in a way which is difficult which is challenging because the challenges and difficulties that undergoes replace in a certain way the that we don't have because we're not keeping the tire properly when we keep the tire properly so we don't need to go through the challenges the difficulties the the the I don't really want to say but just think about what's been going on in Isel and what happened on last year and who it most affected it's it's a it's a terrible thing to say it's a terrible thing to say but to the degree that people were keeping shabus on that year of a year ago they were more protected interesting he always says he says it numerous times he didn't have the Swarm in front of him but he's he was quoting rash ver even though he didn't have the safing from of him rash also says in all of the times have passed has to arrive already the only thing that's missing is that we should do repent and do good deeds says enough for the person who is an a should be able to withstand the the mourning the challenge the difficulty the second explanation of Rashi is it's possible for to be redeemed because we have so much difficulty in our G in Exile that the difficulties themselves become the the Merit for us to be able to be saved and to be helped okay we're going to stop here in the and I want to just read to you a story from the safer of for the gift of is when he says like this the story is on page 153 during the final months of Shaga Fitz's life he was completely absorbed in the events surrounding the establishment of the state of Israel his health often fluctuated in tandem with a news from ER Isel on Friday November 29th 1947 the final day the the day of the final vote in the United Nations regarding the partitioning of Israel between the Jews and the Arabs rraga F devoted a significant amount of time to prayer fervently beseeching the Creator for the adoption of the resolution although if shraga fival did not own a radio he borrowed one for the occasion sing it to the news channel and leaving it on all shabas he remained glued to the radio said even for goinging sudes to ensure he wouldn't miss any developments when the resolution heralding the establishment of the Jewish state was finally passed rraga FAL Rose to his feet and recited the blessing of unbelievable immediately after the creation of the new state the Arab Army surrounding AR Israel launched a major Invasion publicly proclaiming their intent to annihilate the Jewish people countless Jewish soldiers lost their lives in this war over 4,000 soldiers died and alog together including civilians over 6,000 people died in the war of independence reano Quinn recalled how in light of the devastating consequences many prominent rash sharply criticized Shaga FAL for reciting the blessing of the r in turn approached the goor raron Cutler and asked him whether he had he had acted inappropriately by seeing the BR R iron Cutler responded that indeed the United Nations resolution was surely worthy of such a blessing and I found this interesting the story because it also shows us the idea of the fact that Israel we find as Nicholas B and anyone who's moved here knows on a personal level that it takes a certain amount of mysterious nephesh emotionally spiritually and that continues on through a person's time here I'm an immigrant my kids are kids of immigrants but at the same time the difficulties am Israel went through let's say 1947 48 49 the difficulties that am Israel is going through right now losing we're losing our kids children are dying the the soldiers are getting killed but these are the things that am Israel has to go through in order to get to the place of G and how much how far have we come 7 million Jews in Earth Israel over 7 million Jews and Israel is coming back and we're getting closer talk of of building a bdash is in the air maybe we'll build it ourselves maybe we'll come down from heaven whatever it will be it's unbelievable what's going on but we see that the way that it comes is through challenges is through difficulties if we're not saying hopefully the more that is on a level and the more the Godless of will be shown to the world the greatness the amazing abilities that Hashem has given us in our military the amazing Minds that have come up with Incredible ways of dealing with our enemies it's something that K is clearly lifting us up and it's clearly in line and in tandem with am Israel's rising up dedicating ourselves more and more to the Tyra thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
