Rabbi Eli Mansour | Elevating Your Mazal | CHAZAQ

I see that there's a um there's a title to tonight sh something to do with Maz I don't have the answer actually to that question but it was a clever idea um actually I had prepared this week to deliver wherever I was speaking however because of the current events that have took place in is over the last couple of days I had to make a uh diversion and I felt that we need to go back and talk a little more about the galute that we're in and we need to look at it from a perspective of Tor I know many of you watch the news and you read the newspapers and that's where a lot of your information comes from and that's a shame because uh the news outlets are telling you what happened if that yesterday I don't want to know what happened yesterday I want to know what's going to happen tomorrow and the only place where we could find the future is in the tah itself so therefore there should only be one source whenever we're looking for perspective and that's to the events of last week were very very difficult to process obviously where we received uh some of our hostages back in such a uh gruesome way in derision and making Fun's uh Glory was lowered to the ground they have a a despise and a division for us and we saw it on display all of last week so tonight if you'll allow me to reveal what I believe is a tremendous a bigger then I think we ever said but in order to understand we need to go to the source the source that I want to bring to you tonight is it's a vision that had I don't think I ever spoke publicly about this vision for the simple reason I really never understood it correctly and therefore I never felt comfortable to expound on it if I didn't have a a true understanding of the pan the of what's going on let's read the text together if you're following the it's and it's well we'll start over [Music] here so God tells reveals to a vision and he tells him he tells him don't be afraid now what does that mean when somebody tells you don't be afraid it means that there's something to be afraid of but don't be afraid if um if you're sitting uh at Friday night table and you're eating dinner and they bring out dessert I don't have to tell you don't be afraid why should I be afraid I'm not afraid of dessert some people should be afraid of dessert but that would not be something that I would have to warn you Al Al means I'm going to scare you but I'm telling you don't be scared so something in this p is going to be frightened but God is telling Abraham there's nothing to worry about there's nothing to fear so it's Our obligation to try to find out where is the Fear Factor in this event is called it's a covenant that God made with and then he tells them number two means you're guaranteed protection so no matter what we're going to discuss now you must know that the result at the bottom line is you have and you must know that if Abraham is Promised protection we're promised because we're the living descendants of Abraham that's why we say every single day Bash three times me we are the children of Abraham so that's very comforting also you have to know we have a protection now imagine somebody comes along and says I secured protection from the police department I mean who's protecting the police you guar need guarant but comes along and says finish you can sleep well the third thing he told abah you have to know that your reward is going to be great now this and maybe you could get in this world but means so you're going to be guaranteed a place in and that also means for us being the children of Abraham we are going to Merit we're going to Merit a place in eternity that's the introduction to and now the event the vision the next p comes along and says or a couple of says [Music] what is an is a CF we learn simply three so bring me three or not bring me because it was a vision so he sees in The Vision on the floor on the ground there were Al three caves what's is a goat so three [Music] goats an is a ram so three Rams V what is a t a Tor is a type of bird very strange so you have four piles over here three of one animal three of a different animal three of a third animal now you understand why I don't teach this publicly because what what's going on over here so I bring to your attention what the mid says M actually says that each one of these piles each one of these piles represents a form of galut a form of Exile the first three represents galut B why is gal represented in three animals because B had three kings primary Kings you had you had and you had so those are the three and then you have uh the next uh uh um uh Kingdom which is referring to Paras andas so you have of course uh KES and you have and you have so you have three kings in that Exile and then in the third Exile which is Yan so you have the first the second the thir and then in the fourth Exile is galut which is compared to a t right so the midash sees in these four animal sections for Exiles now I wanted to make it very clear when Abraham is seeing the Exiles he's seeing everything he's not just seeing four [Music] words R he's seeing everything he sees the destruction of the first bet mikash he sees G he sees the destruction of the second mdash he sees them taking thees from Rome from from Jerusalem to Rome sees everything in between he sees during the G [Music] of he sees in the desecration of the bet mikash the he sees everything all the pain and suffering of the full especially the fourth one which we're living in now saw everything in front of him he saw the Inquisition he saw the pams in Europe he saw alitz he saw trink he saw ber and bson he saw up until October 7 that means everything was laid out in front of the four Exile this is the m this is the vision and it's divided into those sections what else did he see the B continues the gual what's a gual a goal is a dove well there's no Exiles that are left so who's the goal the Jewish people the Jewish people are compared to a dove like said in so the goal is us so he saw it in front of his eyes there's the goal which is the Jewish people which is a small little bird against the four Empires and the four Empires are going to have a field day in trying to destroy and to kill the one goal what is so Abraham takes all of these animals what does it mean he took a Cleaver or uh an axe and he cut he cut all the animals in half what is the symbolism ofu cutting them says the m and I have it here it's [Music] actually he says it's a good thing he did that and I quote [Music] that means AB said I need to mitigate the Exiles if these animals are going to come against the Jewish people as they are the Jewish people will not be able to overcome them and if there's no Jewish people there's no world so therefore us a big favor he went to he cut them by cutting galut in half it doesn't mean that galut is going to disappear well actually that's exactly what it means which means we will survive G and eventually will be no longer there's no more Babylonians survived it only because in the and that's why there are no more Greeks maybe Greek yogurt you have still today and you have Spanish olives but you really don't have those Empires anymore and even the Romans today you can go to Rome and visit the uh relics of the Roman Empire I once went to Rome with my wife and I took a tour of the the artifacts and all the different amphitheaters of the great Roman Empire that was strangely enough the toide is telling us what the Romans did to the Jews and how they destroyed the Jews and then at the end she said incidentally I'm Jewish so look at the irony the tour guide that's telling us about the great Roman Empire that tried to destroy the Jews is a Jewish girl herself that only is because cut them in half so that's a big I expect to do anything that he can to make our life easier the world would not be able to exist so it's one of the most important P came in the Tor what he did over for us continue and says when it came to the the is the is the bird is us which means to say they'll never be able to break the bird the bird will always be and here's the proof we're still here tonight all those Empires that we talked about uh farone in history and the the the little the one that was the target of all the empires has outlived them and has survived them to credit to who so far so easy now what happens so now you have a bunch of dead animals on the ground and one Bird that's still alive which is a very very important symbolism we will survive and now what happens all of a sudden comes from the heaven ayat I don't know what ayat is that she tells me of it's another type of bird but it's more like a vulture it's a it's a predatory bird and the ayat comes down in order to devour and to consume the the the the caucuses which means the the bird now was going to eat the carcus Now Who's the bird who's the ayat now this is a big because what I'm going to say now is not from the Z even though it sounds like the Z it's not and it's not from the mid and it's not from the you don't have to go there it's from I don't know how we learned this in second grade but says somehow in this David got his nose in David stuck his his opinion in in the sh I guess Abraham is watching this movie from Earth and David's watching it from Shay and when he sees the the Pim he sees the four exiles says David had an opinion he said why do the Jewish people need to go through this I will go down myself and in my I will devour the four Exiles and if which is the ayat how does the that she know that's David I saw say that regarding David it says uh David was very um uh he was very handsome regarding David actually the P writes so they say he has a nice handsome uh uh nice handsome look don't and he has beautiful eyes so therefore the is wanted to do us a tremendous favor saw he says you know what for what purpose to destroy the first what do you need the Holocaust for what do you need all these troubles this is the greatest greatest story that wants to save us from okay it should end here and we should say and F now the Das begins what I'm reading you now to me is the most complicated words in the entire SE and it's for this why I never explained it publicly till now it's easy everything makes sense explain to me what this means [Music] now AB I know what AB is that's Abraham means them huh that's brought them back no does not mean that no that's it he said means as she quotes like it says sends his wind so means that when he saw theat he sent it away now before I ask my question I have a grammatical question question how many birds were there there was one so what is the say the should say bir is why does it say this question I found that was asked by the in his per mAh on the Torah I'll get this answer in a minute but the million dooll question is Abraham you're showing away the ayat the aat isav is trying to Devour the Pim to save the Jewish people from galut and you also tried to save us you tried to cut it in half to make it easier David has even more uh courage he wants to get rid of it completely why would Abraham stop that process instead it should say that AB encouraged the helped the this is not a dangerous ayat this is actually a favorable ayat and shes it away go away by Shing away you guarantee that the Jewish people will suffer for Exiles it comes out and I don't want to say this too loud but the father of our nation is it turns out is responsible now for the for these G because tried to get rid of them and moved away why does he say it in the plural I read there was only one bird which is the Masia says the because in every generation there was a potential mashia that came to save the Jewish people from G in the time of was supposed to be the Masia there was and if you go throughout the generations there was always somebody that Rose in the times of he was supposed to be the mashia andom he saw all of them and he saw all the potential that intended to end the Exile early and he sent them all away all the potential starting with David so not only did Abraham interfere with one mashia he interfered with all the potential ones and I'm asking and scratching my head you have a chance to save your children from galut why would you interfere with such a process how are we to explain the I wonder how how you learned these I always knew this question but I never had an answer for it until this week I came across a very very important piece of paper right over here this is a called it's a it was written by a great I'm going to tell you I'm going to tell you what he says [Music] he writes I'll say it outside that I read it [Music] inside he says [Music] during shom was given a choice multiple choice question he said the Jewish people need to go through a because of the Jewish people need a to go through a perjury there's no free ride they will get to together Ed everything will be fine but they have to go through a certain type of purification and it's not an easy purification Abraham you're the father of your people you could choose for them you choose it's multiple choic there only two choices in the test A or B okay God says to Abraham abam says to what's a a is [Music] G gam yes if you choose gam the Jewish people have a very easy existence in this world there'll be no anti-Semitism you won't need the ADL you won't have to worry about college campus you nothing Jewish people will be considered equals to all the other nations but that's not going to bring them to the T after a Jew passes away he will need to go through the perjury of H and uh eventually that will be their rectification says I don't know what G is you have to show it to me obviously Hashem shows what this G is fine okay what's option b option A is terrible option maybe option b is better B he shows him the option b is you'll get H but on Earth but if you get it here you really get saved from the other and the Jewish people reach rectification by en large and from there they can go to paradise now you understand why God tells Abraham Al because the options that I'm giving in front of you are scary options there's no g g or none of the above no or option option three it's one or the other and could you imagine the pressure has to to choose for us what he feels is the right or is the better of the two choices I don't know orz or or October 7th what we're looking today to me that that's that's not such good good good options was stuck between a rock and a hot place no matter what he picks not Soo good for us I want to read it inside for a minute he writes God gave Abraham a choice all either he could choose for his children G the kingdoms will be against us or you take like ask you a simple question how does Abraham know what to choose how is Abraham capable to know what the right answer [Music] is when we were in school when we would have multiple choice questions and we didn't know the answer so everybody has tactics we also had tactics you call the teacher over and the teacher usually Tam or you know and you say can you read the the question for me over I don't know the question and she reads it for you then you point to a and you look at her and she Wings she says now you know it's beef from process of smile back very nice and that's it you know the answer so sometimes the teacher through her or his uh gives you the right answer so says and I quote mean he was confused you would be confused too we're confused just reading it and then he says God said trust me the better option is galut G is much more severe thean writes that one second of G is worse than all the that went in his whole entire life and that's one second of gam is worse so therefore as bad as you think anti-Semitism is as bad as you think our Blood Stained history is as blood as as bad as you think all that we've endured especially during the Holocaust especially during the modern times in as bad as it is and it's bad but God said it's bankruptcy and in bankruptcy you pay 10 cents on the dollar this is 10 cents on the dollar compared what you'd have to pay full price in G it's a better option to take the full G now I I say how about we don't have any of this it seems that that's not the option it seems that there needs to be a certain preparation for the Jewish people to fix themselves some whatever he says it's from from day one fine but there's not an OP I would love it to say how about how about we just uh eat candy and then we have a party and God you can do whatever you want we don't need to go that wasn't the choices so over here we understand that Abraham is going to be filled with fear cuz he has to now Point not for him he's pointing now did not go through G he chose gal for us and he chose October 7th for us this is the great challenge AB had and that's what the PUK says and I quote what happened now the sun start to set says the sun starting to set represents G starts to get dark now as the Sun is setting Shalom can stop the sun if he says to the son stop there will be no G but'll be so the sun is starting to set andu has a choice to let the sun continue its Journey which would put us into the present situation that we're in or he could stop it now as this is happening he has a different he says no no no no I see what the is so here we have now between David David saw what gut is and he he saw correct he saw what the going to do to us and he has such a love but not any more love than has so among [Music] the he says I can't see a million Jewish children die in the Holocaust I cannot see B's children being tortured to death by the hands of these monsters I can't see it but it's either this is better the problem is says the the one that receives the prophecy gets to understand it correctly this was not a prophecy to David this was a prophecy to Abraham andan says God helped Abraham choose so when he saw the ayat come on the had to make the hardest decision of his life to allow the four Exiles to continue saving us ultimately from and that's why the says the started [Music] to starts to fall into a deep sleep he got afraid God told him don't be afraid at that moment the was set in stone [Music] the comes along and says some switch them around means the present because it's the longest noil it's it's constant and there you have it Abraham chose for his children galut and that's the state that we're in today but AB made a deal with God and he said you told me that my children will be saved from G I want a chair next to [Music] G sits next to G he sits there and every time somebody comes up from this generation and the prosecute they want to bring him to Gam you have to go through AB first say come here come come come you ever course who does never inspects to make sure it's you can't put him in and he ships him off to get which means says after 2,000 years of persecution after all that they did and you're still doing after 2,000 years you're still coming to what we're not the best generation but you have to take into consideration what we've been through what we witnessed none of us are angry none of us thr in the towel all of us come to the ladies we all the ladies all day long everybody's doing everything and we're the latest generation we've witnessed everything and we're still here we haven't forgotten you says God you made a deal they get the H over here you can't give them the HL over there you have to protect them but they're not perfect but they got punished here every time they open up a newspaper this G get every time they read the news they have to cry they become that was the deal we made you can't get it both places I don't think it means that there's not going to be a minimum type of of course it has to be we're not saying but it's not going to be the the that would have been without gal without gal we cannot tolerate such a one felt that that's that's a worse option but the problem that I have is could you believe it that's you could you could give thanks to AB for what's going on and ab will tell you I saved you from something worse you're paying 10 cents on the dollar be appreciative that this is all you have it could have been worse see in our brain was saying it can't get worse what could be worse than this you don't know what I saw the other option much worse and anyway God moved my finger to pick galut so I knew that hash wanted me to pick G and therefore it's the lesser of the two evils so when David tried to get rid of it move away move away comes at the end when it's ready then they PID their price and by the way the price is almost paid that's for sure but my question is the says it's for the problem is shom as well as others brings it down as well they talk about that there's going to be a fifth Exile and We Know It the is and it is clear we are officially in the fifth and final galut actually if you look at it it's five words it's [Music] now what I'm going to tell you was incredible har talked about is a thousand years ago when they just got uh you know some momentum so he writes to the Jews in Yemen not just a safe place anymore for Jews [Music] is my brothers God has entrapped us because of our sins in the hands of this nation they are over us they always figuring out strategies to do bad for us they despise us and then says there will never be a nation that is a greater enemy of the Jewish people more than Ismael and there's be no nation that does evil to the Jewish people with the viciousness and the cruelty and the ruthlessness of the so is predicting that's be the word he knows the Germans he knows G now I'm I'm not coming to advocate for adom or defend them whatsoever to me the Germans look like they were the worst that ever existed but that abam is telling us with his prophetic eyes that there's nobody worse than the the question is why when you look at the success that this people have just over us did you ever think we're bombing Gaza for a year straight with bombs that are I don't know how heavy 10,000 pound bombs dropping on the Relentless and they could still shoot missiles over the Border how is it possible how is it possible that you have an army you have billions of dollars and they're shooting how do they get how do they keep on coming back I don't want to say that they have because that's that's our item but such a barbaric people third world and they have so much success over over the Jewish people that have a a formidable government an army Etc it's almost as if like some big Rabbi blessed them it's like they went to what's your name now if that's the case that explains it I know the Germans never got a better half of a rabbi but I'm sorry to tell you that isma did and the rabbi's name is Abu andu at the end of his life said the middle of his life said to God please so that's it that's better than the bab Sal you got a better so look when you read these stories about you say who on you got rid of David you kicked him out and now you're going to our worst enemy and you're telling [Music] him so he's walking around with the now you understand why he's so successful if you got a which we did but he also got a we also have we have the primary don't take my word I know we're saying things that sound but says it so you can thank for is's Success they're going to thank Muhammad they're going to thank all their fictitious characters but we know where their blessing comes from why would he bless them because if they're blessed then we get more G in this world and eventually they'll dissipate so is forcing the process in this world so that and then writes in the next paragraph and I quote [Music] regarding that's amazing knew already that the nature of isma the Liars they're filled with deceit I said this in the synagogue over Shabbat and then Monday morning everybody emailed me the front page of the New York Post liar I you know I don't know anything said it a thousand years ago when they sent back the wrong body intentionally but just think about the lies of is they can attack us and somehow they can turn it around and make it as if they were the victims of October 7th and you have Nations that want to believe the lies so you have to have willing Partners to want to believe the lies and then all of a sudden they have a propaganda machine that they're able to always make themselves the victims no nation has that as they returning hostages but somehow they get away with us releasing criminals and that becomes logical to the world yeah hostages you have to release yeah so you're releasing people and we're returning people that are killers and what does the world think yeah this is the poor this is fair they giving back you why is why is that logical they're such good propagandists and lawyers and the world wants to believe it anyway probably so therefore if you com to the United Nations the only one that was condemned after October 7th was us the victim and anytime they said something against B is they have to offset it with saying 10 bad things about B is because the guy from the United Nations the Palestinian guy gets up and he cries in front of them and he says the hospitals and the children and the and all the other things and oh you can't do innocent people and you have people crazy running around the streets wres what's going to happen when we their lies had three children amongst many three children were and and the says M when you hear the lies of is our only reaction is going to be d means just keep quiet you have to tolerate until the end of time we have aing book over here I'll show you something from the yes open up chapter 55 open up here the M ask why is he called is see I told you it's not such an easy book to find where the ladies ladies don't have book in their pocket books Shabbat what you shabbat I 200 men we can't get a [Music] so the M says in why is he called so when you hear that name it sounds like is hashem's going to listen to him but the M says no there's a word missing that means the pain that is is going to cause at the end of time is going to cause the Jewish people to cry out to God so Ismael is going to be the catalyst he's going to be the the impetus which is a good thing and we're living in that time now Ismael is involved in his last har and I don't think there's a B in the world that's not praying extra every day and to feed Lord Etc so we're now living in the generation of is so I said to myself David knew the this also was there with Abraham he was there he tried to get rid of it but Abraham said no listen I'm older than you first and you're not one of the I'm one of theor two votes and therefore and me I'm choosing and I'm also giving is an extra so I looked in do we ever have in the two words yes next to each other only in one chapter if you open up chapter and if you look at [Music] the [Music] yeah 5520 it's the only place in also there's a of in this chapter and what does the say regarding is I read the beginning we're going to be filled with fear and trepidation should give me wings that the wrote because he was referring to is he said we're going to want to run away if we could fly and then says regarding which is he says and they that he mentions he mentions them by name that it's going to be regarding Hamas and then he says at the end of [Music] time God will not let the which is US falter will bring them to a a empty pit lonely pit so is tell us the end of the story tomorrow's newspaper at the end of the [Music] day but in the meantime the process has been chosen for us and who chose the process we chose it not the green we decided the process and the PUK refers to them as pigar you know what a pigot is a corpse it looks like they're doing something they're corpses they're puppets the only Messengers to God to bring the Jewish people to the ultimate rectification that's why they called pigar they think they have strong they have army they have artillery they have un the puppets they have no power whatsoever finally a little biology for a minute says that there's a certain animal the animal is called a maybe it's a deer gazelle and the says that it has a very narrow [Music] womb and it's a problem because when it wants to give birth the baby cannot fit through the canal so what happens so obviously there's no you know OBG YN by the genre they don't have epidural and all these other things so through the the nature who sends a snake that's called and the snake comes exactly at the time that supposed to give birth not a second before not a second after and bites and when the Venom of the and goes into the she screams and at that moment 10 cm and the baby's able to come out and the g says if it would come a little early it would be premature if it comes too late the baby would die I want to explain to you something we are involved now what we call not always when you hear somebody screaming isn't necessarily A Bad Thing a lady screams the loudest before the baby is born the screams of a lady in labor actually are screams of pain but of anticipation of Joy the greater the contractions become and the closer they become the closer you are to a birth we are involved now in the birth Pains of mashia and the contractions are getting closer and they're becoming more severe and the patient is screaming but the problem is the mashia cannot fit through the birthing Canal so has to senden dren is the snake and if you look at the Hamas emblem on their banners that they wear around their head it's one of of a snake sent the Haden in order to bite CL one more time in order to make full dilation so the baby which is the mashia will be able to be born this is the moment that we are in now our eyes will see the Redemption is very close and therefore in is for us to take the IM now's not a time to give up the marathon is almost over we can see the finish line on the contrary when the runner sees the Finish Line even though he's he has no more energy but he gets when he sees the finish line and with the last strength that he has in his body he's able to stumble over the finish line to the end I have no doubt this is exactly where we are in history we're at the end of the is almost coming to an [Music] end theen has been us and now is making its last scream of the final contraction and without a doubt the mashiah is coming out of that Canal may it be the prayer that he should look down at his people look we're still coming to in the middle of the week freezing cold in the winter here we show up even though you did all that to us even everything happened and therefore it is our prayer that will tell our regarding our die the birth of the mashia that he's born already but he just needs one more push one more push in order to bring him out says
