Devarim - Untold Blessings of Moshiach

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with's NeverEnding assistance in R Israel 5784 2024 this para it's the para that we always read right before Tish I'd like to share with you a thought from the paraa from the Mish as it relates to Gula Redemption we spoke barash the Masia podcast a lot about where we are I suggest going listening to that if you haven't heard it yet and I'd like to share with you what the M says onim so mosu gets up to speak in front of the Jewish people the Jewish people are about to enter the land of Israel the moment has finally arrived for us to come in to to take out all of the Seven Nations that were here and to distribute the land amongst the different tribes and Misha knows that he's not going to go in there with them he's not going to lead them in but he speaks to them he starts I believe R it was 5 weeks before he was to pass away and he says to them like this this is in chapter 1 vers 8 through1 of Deuteronomy of dor behold I have given to you I placed in front of you this land's hearts come and inherit the land that God swore that he would give to to your forefathers to their offspring he give it to them and to their children after them I said to you so says something which sounds like sounds like it's negative but we're gonna see the positive side of it he says I told you at that time that I can't possibly carry you all on my own says the verse verse 10 hasem has made you very great hasem has multiplied you and you today are like the stars of the heaven stars of the heavens so numerous going to read two more versus actually the god of your forefathers should add onto you multiply you a thousand times he should bless you as he spoke to you interestingly there's one more which sounds negative he says how can I carry you all how can I carry the tremendous load of all of your questions and all of your fight that's says and classically we read we read it he says how can I carry you we really with the tune of which is a sad tune but as we'll see this actually is an incredibly joyous an incredibly joyous and positive message that mosh was giving them about the fact that they had grown so great and so numerous to the point where he couldn't carry them we'll see can he carry them can he not carry them let's see what the me says we have that the PK says hasem your God has made you very great very numerous the says it's a inum chapter 138 it says I will bow down to the to the sanctuary of your Holiness the end of the says because you have done much greater than your name and your word so we're going to see an amazing thing that amazing thing has to do with the fact that Hashem makes promises he says things he says he's going to do things but just like our sages teach us that the the way of it the right individual their way is to say a little bit and to do a lot har says come I'll give you a little food but he gives them like a whole meal he gives the Angels a whole meal he didn't know they were Angels Hashem also he says he's going to do a little bit but he do he the the way that hashem's word manifests is much greater much more blessings that's the way of hem said and we're going to have a few statements in the name of the name of this is what God Said to abrem said he's going to redeem his children with two letters what are the two letters hem says that the Jewish people are going to have to go through a terrible Gess and Exile going to be slaves in Egypt they're going to they're going to be uh they're going to have difficult times they're going to be treated terribly but then after when it's time for their Redemption hasem promises I'm going to judge them I'm going to judge the nation that has enslaved them done the word done is two letters says I will judge them two letters when hasem actually comes to redeem the Jewish people he doesn't just judge them with two letters or meaning judge the the Egyptians with two letters and redeem us with two letters but rather he redeems us with 72 letters I know what the idea here is but the the foundation here is Hashem says a little I'm going to judge them when it comes to the actual manifestation of it comes to the actual Redemption there's a much larger manifestation of it it it it's expanded it's not just two letters it's 72 letters and first talk about what is the idea of the 72 letters what is the 72 letter name of Hashem it comes from the there's Pim that talk about right by by uh K yamu right before the sea was split so the the encampment of the Jewish people there was an encampment of the Jewish people and there was an encampment of the I and in between were the anov the clouds of God's glory and a pillar of fire to protect the Jewish people and separate between the Jews and the Egyptians so that protection if you look at those three Pim so the three each of the three have 72 letters each three three verses in a row have exactly 72 letters and there's you take the first letter of the first PUK the last letter of the second PUK the first letter of the third PUK and that's V hey V and that's the first set of 72 letters of the first set of three letters there are 72 sets take the second uh letter of the first P the second to last letter of the second p and the second letter of the third p and that's how we get the names an which we say on on suus those are two names out of those 72 three-letter names but Hashem instead of only redeeming us with two letters he redeems us with 72 letters and even though 72 letters are are really 72 * 3 how do we get this also if you look at the verse where hasem actually takes us have you ever seen the says have you ever seen that Hashem attempted to take out one nation from another Nation if you count letters in that p as well you have to subtract one of the words go to subtract the the word go one nation out of another Nation so it one time it says go it's referring to the Jewish Nation one time it's referring to the Egyptian Nation you take out the word go count the letters starting from the word you'll see it's 72 letters but the the point here again the bottom line is it's all very interesting not going to get so involved in what is the idea of the 72 letter name of Hashem it's it's a name has to do with separating between the Jews and the Egyptians like we mentioned it has to do with us being special and unique it's to do with hasem his protection has to do with his the the pillar of fire the the light that he shines through us we'll talk about the H hopefully we'll get to it but the idea is that hasem makes a small promise so to speak and he he he shows up big he does it all the way he doesn't just he doesn't just redeem us with two letters he redeems us with 72 or 72 * 3 216 okay so that's the first example when does it it looks like it's going to be small but it's going to be huge why did hasem not reveal that he's eventually provide sustenance to the Jewish people for 40 years in the wilderness with the m with the Mana the special amazing spiritual bread did not reveal that to voice our Hashem is showing us that his way is like the like the righteous that he says a little bit but he does a lot meaning he didn't tell he told that he was he told a that the Jewish people would come out and they would be saved and they would be redeemed but he didn't tell them about all the all the details of the the the manifestation of of re right that's what we're talking about here remember that's how this whole conversation starts Hashem your God has made you great has made you numerous hasem that's how hasem does things it's and and that has to do with spirituality when we come when it comes to redemp and spirituality there's a huge expansion it's almost something that I would say something that you can't even express really you can't even talk about it you can't Hashem couldn't say to him in the in the reality where he was you couldn't say to him how it's going to be in the state of redemption we can't understand what it's going to look like when Messiah comes when the Messiah arrives what will the world be like what does it mean to have aik we don't know exactly what that means we we don't know almost at all what it means right forget about exactly but this I can tell you whatever you think it is it's so much greater and it's and whatever the greater is it's even greater okay okay that's that's the second example is the man that Hashem didn't tell him that he was going to to give the Jewish people the man another another aspect here's where we come back to our verse the PK says Hashem says that he's going to make's Children numerous like the stars so as numerous as the Stars means precisely as much as the Stars maybe as the amount of stars that you can see as the visible stars when it comes to how how how many were the Jewish people they were and they're going to be they were and they're going to be a thousand times the the amount that we were we were 600,000 Jews came out of Egypt to win into the land of Israel so it's going to be a thousand times that there's going to be 600 million Jews okay we're going to expand like Beyond imagination very interesting so m is saying that the Jewish people are so such a huge amount of people for one person to carry all of that it's just not possible so sounds like a little bit of a negative thing but really what we're seeing is that it's a huge demonstration of hashem's blessing that the Jewish people are so many this is what Redemption looks like d describes a similar issue that moshu describes we could say but it's very interesting the resolution in regards to to D to May to the BS says inan chter 18 verse 44 David says help me get away from the the fights of the nation so in thisum it says from the nation but there's a similar verse that says in sh in in tanak where it says get me out of the fights of my nation so why do the suum have the two different ways of saying it's the same exact concept but once it says the nation one says my nation King David says get me out of the fights of my nation I don't want to have any interactions with the Jewish people where I'm upset at them and I judge them and I call them to judgment so to speak and I don't want them to have any ESS on me I don't want them to have any any situations I don't want any kind of situations where the Jewish people feel that I have perhaps misjudged them or something is wrong with with our relationship he's begging Hashem he's begging Hashem that their relationship ship just be smooth and good and it not be necessary for there to be any kind of judgments between them so says to you don't have to be worried about there being any kind this is very interesting you don't to be worried about there being any kind of disagreements between you and the nation now listen to this carefully because it sounds very it sounds like a funny thing but he says you're the king you're going to be the king over the Jewish people and because of that they will listen to whatever you say so you're not going to have any issues of Discord between you and the Jewish people the so David says since that's the case you're making me King over the Jewish people I ask you please that you give them the heart to hear what I have to say that's the next it's 18: 45 says that please let them be able to hear what I have to say let them be able to hear what I have to say Okay so but but what is what is it really saying what's really going on here is that it's saying that when I become a king when D becomes a king when King David is the king over the Jewish people it means that he is the heart really the director the the conscience of the Jewish people it's very interesting our sages say that when King David said yod my hands were filled with blood so it means that they would come and ask him their shilas they had questions that had to do with blood of they had questions to ask him and and he would be he would be a he was a he knew all of the T he knew he was the he was the dezer of the time they would ask him questions that what are the sages teaching us with that they're teaching us this idea that is the conscience of the Jewish people he helps them to see what is hashem's Will and so there's a prayer there's a prayer that he's saying and that is that let our let us be aligned in such a way that they can that we don't get in fights that the heart and the mind don't get in fights that we're aligned we're ready to do what we need to do and there's no resistance to that was nervous about being a judge over the Jewish people because he knew that the Jewish people have a certain power that if he will say a certain judgment that they don't like and they complain to God as it were God will hear their prayer God will if if the person who comes out of the judgment is upset and says something negative about the judge and praise theem that something negative should happen to the judge forbid so D was concerned that that prayer would be would be heard the measure says that and had the same concern and within the concern within the what seems to be negative is something very positive he's like I could moshu and King David they were the king of the Jewish people so to speak David was and mosha so to speak he was the leader they knew that the Hashem had blessed the Jewish people they had he had blessed them with numbers he blessed them with the power of prayer he blessed them with protection and because of that those who would judge them those who would judge them could be put in danger so so David and mha asked asked they said a they said a prayer to God please help us help us that we should that they should accept and hear the the judgments and the directions that we give and that the power that they have as a result as we'll see shortly of being being the vehicles for your light Hashem let that power not be misused and and just obviously in this point it's more to understand that as the P says to those who bless the Jewish people are blessed those who curse the Jewish people are cursed and we have a power and the nations of the world need to watch out right they need to watch out the next piece in the Mish adds another aspect another level to this and it says the M says something amazing which is very similar in concept to what we said previously in in the podcast and in the mhia podcast and this has to do with you today are like the stars the Jewish people were blessed to be like the stars but they were also BL which means to be numerous and to be many or to be great says the says don't just read it which can mean to me to be many or great but read it to to as laav you're going to be like your master like your teacher who is the teacher Hashem is our teacher Hashem is our master you're going to be like God you're GNA be Godly we find that the verse says about Hashem that go Hashem your God is like a consuming fire says in Isaiah 10 verse 17 about the Jewish people in the future the light of the people of Israel will be like fire the Holiness and their Holy One which sure exactly whates means might be referring to hasem or might be referring to the Jewish people check out the verse we got to find out but the Jewish people are Al likened to Fire and to and to to so another word from fire so in the future time the Jewish people there's a certain aspect of us being like stars stars are small they shine but they're very small but then there's a huge light we in the future time when mhia arrives we will reflect the light of has completely says I'll show you another example of this where we find this in the other direction when it comes to someone who worships Idols so that person is considered like the idol itself says in Psalm 15 :8 those who make Idols will be like the idols the idols will be destroyed and those people will be destroyed the things that we make into our idols and our goals if a person makes his goal to be just like God is compassionate so too I want to be compassionate if we aim to emulate hem to emulate God so then we become like our God but those who aim to emulate an idol that's their that's their goal so then they end up like their Idol they end up destroyed but one who wants to be like Hashem certainly we're going to end up to be like Hashem shining incredible light how we know we have a very interesting says blessed is the one who trusts in God will be his trust I think the mes is saying I think the the de is the one it could have just said in the verse the one who trust inem so hasem is his trust if you trust in hem so it's going to it's going to work but it says blessed is the one who trust in hem which I think it's coming to say that's the K that we're talking about here is there's a in the word braa which means blessing that means there's an expansion in a natural way should be a certain thing right every year of the of the sixe cycle so you make a certain amount of you produce a certain amount of produce but hasem promises that if you're going to keep there's going to be triple crops in the sixth year enough for the sixth and the seventh and the eighth year so the the means an expansion beyond the natural when a person trusts in hem that means that he's making his relationship with Hashem Paramount he wants to be he wants to be connected to God he wants to be like Hashem so he becomes blessed he experiences expansion just like Hashem is the ultimate expansion Hashem is inside of the of the reality that we exist within but he's also completely surrounding the reality are that's exactly or in a parallel way our souls do that as well they're inside of our body but they're also surrounding our body last Point says fure here's another aspect of how great the potential of the Jewish people is and actually we're going to see it's not just in potential for the future time but you can access it right now even before mhia has arrived the the place where the sadik and the righteous individuals will will be in the future is going to be higher than the place of the the Angels the angels will ask the righteous what New Concept what new laws what new spiritual ideas that Hashem introduced to you today we didn't we we can't get in there and find out says don't be in wonder about this because even in this world those who study Torah those who are righteous those who are striving to be connected to hasem to to be like hasem to to do his will they're already higher than the Angels themselves in Danel 3: 5 and it speaks about the fact that these particular reges individuals were on a higher level they were on a higher level according to different GE they were able to walk on on coals they were on a high level the righteous were on a higher level than the Angels themselves just think they're able to walk on coals that means that they can handle the incredible light that Hashem has they can handle the incredible light that hasem wants to bring into the world the light of his goodness the Jewish people are promised this is a promise within the within the moment of of Darkness where Moses says how can I carry you but there's a blessing that the Jewish people when we get to the other side of gula Redemption and we had it really all along there's an incredible light that we're meant to shine and I would say that when we're not properly shining the light so then the light can burn us that's how we end up in Exile that's how we end up in trouble but ultimately that light is going to shine we are meant to experience incredible expansion and blessings that's who we are that's the essence of who the Jewish people are we're meant to shine that light out into the world want to bless you I ask you to bless me should help us to recognize the amazing future that awaits us and help us to realize that we can access that future now all we need to do is try to emulate Hashem try to connect hasem and try to keep his T to to be righteous to be sikim and in so doing we will Merit incredible blessings will Merit in incredible expansion now and on into the future thank you so much for listening have a wonderful shamas
