Messiah Could Come Today. Are You Ready? Rabbi Daniel Glatstein

Okay, good morning. Amazing words of the Chofetz Chaim. At the end of the parashah, Miriam spoke lashon hara about Moshe. Miriam said, "Why did Moshe separate from his wife? There were nevi'im before Moshe, they didn't separate from their spouse. I didn't have to separate from my spouse." Miriam was married to Caleb. And all of a sudden, Hashem suddenly appears. Rashi says that they were they were in a very tight situation because they were not tahor. They were not tahor. They were crying out, "Mayim, mayim." Rashi says "Mayim, mayim." They needed a mikvah. They were tamei. What's What was Hashem getting at? Says the Chofetz Chaim, "Hashem was showing them that Moshe had to separate from his spouse cuz I could appear to him at any time. And he And he if I would appear to him suddenly, he wouldn't be in a state of tahara. He would have to be prepared. So, therefore, Moshe Rabbeinu had to separate from his spouse." By the way, I'll ask you just a completely side lamda shakasha, why did Aaron need a mikvah? Aaron wasn't a makbir on tefilas Ezra? Why didn't Why didn't Aaron go to the mikvah before Shacharis? Okay, weiter. But, that's not irrelevant to this. Says the Chofetz Chaim, "Why is this in the Torah? I need to know that Hashem came to a navi suddenly? Why do I need to know that Hashem could come suddenly?" Says the Chofetz Chaim, it was written 3,300 years ago for June 3rd, 2026. Why? The Ganal Achshav is mine now. Every day we claim we're waiting for the Geulah. In Malachi, in the third perek, it says, Pisa'im Yavo El Heichalo, Adonai Asher Atem Mevakshim. Suddenly he could come to his palace, the master that you seek. Huh? Suddenly? You're telling me that I could just be walking down the street and all of a sudden I get a memo and that's it? Mashiach is here? If Hashem could come suddenly, we need to get our act together to prepare for carbonois. You think you'll be able to learn all the halachos of avodah in an hour or two? The 8-minute Mashiach prep. You think when Mashiach comes, then we're going to get like a crash course and in in a few minutes we'll know everything to do? Kiam K'Machshavah, it takes years. needed five years especially if you're a Kohen. All of those things all this needs preparation before she comes suddenly so that when the Almighty comes suddenly, we are much more ready. I'm in Sanhedrin. Look in Sanhedrin, I think it's in the Gemara in Taanis also, that according to the Rabbanan, Yeah, it's in the Gemara in Taanis also, that according to the Rabbanan, a Kohen in Eretz Yisrael cannot drink wine ever. Because maybe Mashiach will come. And if he comes, he won't be able to do that avoida that minute or that hour. So you see that when Mashiach comes, things get going right away. There's no There's no um period a grace period of people getting their act together. No, you got to be ready. You got to be nachain. Shamma Yevamot Pesaḥim Megillah also in Eruvin. Someone who says "Hareini nazir beyom sheben David ba, asur lishtot yayin kol yemei haḥol." Somebody says I'm a nazir when Mashiach comes, you can't drink wine during the week. The Shaagas Aryeh has a famous kasha. Why not? He's only coming in Nissan. So it should only be asur in Nissan. Anyway, so says the Ḥafetz Ḥayyim, back in the day, in the 18th century, you could say the signs aren't present for Mashiach to come. "Mikiman in the sky, um banu kol haYudim she'azkiru Ḥazal azman ago." But now, all of the predictions and the prophecies that are mentioned Ḥazal regarding the time of the redemption, the end of soita in Sanhedrin daf zayin amud alef kaf. They're all They all are fulfilled. You could check them all off. You could check off every single siman. And by the way, in case one or two are missing, in the last 90 years, we checked off the rest. Bevada yesh lekaver to geulah meheira. You definitely should could anticipate an immediate redemption. Betzaḥel zdaris lahochanas atzmi la'avodas Mashiach ben David. Therefore, you need to get your act together to be prepared in the avoida to do the avoida in the Beit Hamikdash. We'll see more tomorrow. That's the lesson of Hashem. Vayomer Hashem Pesaḥim al Moshe ve'al Aharon. It's to stir you that the ghoul could happen and will happen. Piss off your life at a dime. Piss off your life at a dime at your attempt of action. The movie Malachi says. Have a good day, everyone. >> Recording stopped.
