Decree Against The Enemies of Israel

Look at what happens with the nations. He says the control of countries is changing rapidly. World War I, Germany declared war against the world. There wasn't even enough time for them to recover. It seemed they went under major crisis. Literally their their their currency became absolutely worthless. And they already built themselves back up to declare World War II. Major controls for countries, for empires, gone. The Turkish Empire ruled the world for years. Who even knows of the Turkish Empire today? Great Britain was called Great Britain because they literally had major control of the world. Now it's just England. Now it's Yeah, they're uh a world power because they're friends with America. I mean, because they're world power somehow. No one is impressed like they were in the past. Major control. America was a nobody before the wars. Before World War I, before World War II, America wasn't the America of today. It was only after new negotiations and deals they made with Saudi Arabia, with the UK, with a few countries, some financial, some for oil, different things they did. And most critically, the major development of their weapons. They were a weapon empire. They were able to literally produce more ships in one year during the war than they can ship in 10 years today. The ship building ability of the United States today is not even onetenth of what it used to be 100 years ago. They're much more powerful today, but 100 years ago their produ productivity was much greater. Either way, before the wars, before all this, nobody thought that much of America. They were a relatively new country. They're only a couple hundred years old. Back then, they were less 100 years old, 150 years old. Things changed. says, "All of this is to show you that there is there is a decree, a horrible decree in the world that has to do with am." He uses the euphemism haters of of Israel which really means is because the purpose of the world can only be achieved by is everyone has a purpose. Everyone can achieve their purpose individually. But in order for the Torah to be fulfilled, for the Msiah to come, for the salvation, it's now what is this in page 41, there's a story of again Ravkina, but this time an angel comes tokina and rebukes him because he was wearing a garment that was exempt from putting on it. It had round corners so he didn't have to put tit on it. So the angel rebuked him. How are you not wearing tit right now? You're wearing a garment. It doesn't have to wear titina says, "Well, the tit only has to be worn if there's four corners. I don't have four corners." So, what's the problem? What you get punished for possibly avoiding a positive commandment? It's not like where you're a Jew is obligated to late feline every day except Shabbat and holidays. tit you only have to wear a tit which is these strings. If you have a garment that has four corners. So Afkina says, "What? You get punished if I don't wear tit?" No, it's it's a I don't have four corners. The corners are round. The angel says to Afkina. Yes, you get punished for not wearing tit during divine times of wrath. The times of divine wrath. There is a punishment for this. Further in the same page 43b teaches that the punishment for not wearing the white strings of the tit is actually more severe than not wearing why because while may not be available making you on making you pretty much someone that can't fulfill it the white seat seat is always available. So choosing not to wear the white shows that you don't like the you have contempt for the mitzvah. And the also says that during times of this this times of divine wrath, the first people that will be punished are those who don't wear tit where even though technically you're only required to wear tit if you have a four cornered garment during the times of judgment. Those who actively avoided a mitzvah by not wearing a four corner garment are punished first because they showed arrogance at their spiritual situation as if they don't need another mitzvah when they could have done it thinking that they have enough merits without this mitzvah. So the teaches us not only about tit and the importance of wearing tit whether you like it or not whether it's hot or not hot doesn't make a difference but also teaches us about these times of harsh decrees. Says we are in the end of days which is a time of harsh decrees. There are certainly going to be times we are better than others, but in general we are at a time of harsh decrees. And therefore the and therefore the danger for us to be vomited from the land meaning tragedies happening is happenings in the world are much closer much more common than in the previous generations. Why? Hashem is closing the store. He's about to bring Msiah. The ultimate salvation is coming for those that are righteous, that have done chuva, and the ultimate punishment is coming for those that don't. So, in one end, Hashem is fast forwarding everything. Whatever bills have to be paid, he's paying them. Somebody, this guy deserves a reward in this temporary world. Give it to him. Make him a millionaire. Make him this. Make him that. She deserves something for something good she did. No problem. Make her beautiful. Make her marry a rich person or she's rich. Whatever it is, give it to them. Oh, this guy deserves suffering. Okay, give him suffering. Whatever it is, and then he's going to go to heaven if he's righteous. Everybody's getting whatever they can in this temporary world. Why? All of the small bills have to be paid before The final totality is calculated. So everything is fast forward. Everything is faster. And the way things look right now, that speed is only going to be magnified. With the new technological innovations, it's easy to understand how everything will be faster. A person that has a business today, if they do not adjust themselves and their business to adapt to the times add the different artificial intelligence tools, different marketing tools, different uh accounting, whatever it is to their business, if they don't add it, they're simply going to become like an obsolete business. We are meant to be a light unto the nations, not to follow their misguided practices. Remember, every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew. We don't celebrate non-Jewish holidays, even if they seem harmless. It's a zil disrespect to the Torah and could lead to chalu Hashem, desecration of God's name. Stick to our holy Torah and our own holidays. That's the path of a true Jew.
