The IMPOSSIBLE is POSSIBLE! Shine YOUR Hidden Light & Conquer Your Addictions

when the when the when the Greeks came in to the Yim they had a particular goal and if you look in the story how it's described they had a goal to contaminate the mikdash the sanctuary and that itself is confusing because normally when an enemy wants to destroy their their their their their Rivals their enemies they come to kill them and really any War most wars ever around the world are only functioning on a physical level you want to kill somebody because you want to take their land or because you hate them and you want them to die um or you're scared of them so you fight them first whatever the case is normally when you when things resort to violence especially on a military level country to Country you're trying to kill them not for for for a basic reason you want them dead you want their land or you want them dead here we see that the Greeks were not really after this that wasn't what they really wanted they they wanted the Jews to become them to become like them and to believe in what they believed in so they actually wanted the Jews to be with them they weren't like want they didn't want to kill them but when they saw that the Jews would not abandon their beliefs and their way of life then they said if that's the case then we'll kill you and they were really killing them to push them into giving in ultimately and becoming like them that's what they really wanted they wanted the Jews to stop believing in what they believed in we have to understand what this means and how it applies to us today on some level so I want to point out a very interesting part of the story and from there we'll build so after they fought an attack they were they were victorious they were winning they were winning and they were suppressing and abusing and oppressing I the word I want they were oppressing the Jews they were torturing them they were killing them they were really treating them worse than worse than human beings they were treating them like animals maybe even worse that they would treat their own animals and at some point we fought back we we fought back which just to know that it was an possible for these five kohanim these five kohanim uh to to be able to really win anything there were five holy people that that that were praying more than they knew how to use a sword but five people that were zealous for Hashem started of rebellion and gathered a few thousand Rebels and ultimately when you look at all the fighting a few thousand Renegade Rebel fanatic Jews that that the helist were saying you're the problem if you just if you'd all die we'd be we'd be better off they didn't realize that they were saving the Jewish people forever those few thousand people defeated ultimately more than 100,000 Greek soldiers between the different battles and it was purely miraculous although it was garbed in nature and it was there was a lot of tactical help but of Ken every time we went to fight our leaders yud hakabe who was the the military leader yanan yonathan all these unbelievable five Kohan and Priests holy holy holy priests they would only talk about how it's not us it's Hashem and don't look at the enemy don't be scared of the enemy Hashem can put the mighty in the hands of the weak and we actually pray this every time we read the we talk about how Hashem put the the mighty in the hands of the weak the impure in the hands of the pure really Hashem fought for us and Hashem did it for us we we only is like a puppet that making the moves although we have to give them ultimate credit to fearlessly face death and torture and they did it for Hashem and Hashem said in this case I'm not going to let you down and he he delivered he delivered in almost the most incredible way one can imagine and a few thousand Jewish holy righteous Rebels defeated the entire Greek army of about 100,000 soldiers between the battles and that would be like the Taliban taking down America right now I mean which is which didn't happen and is not going to happen a tremendous Miracle past that as soon as we finally did conquer reconquer the basa mikdash back so we went in and we we looked we were looking for something what did we find we found one jar of pure olive oil that was not contaminated and had the Holiness and the Purity that was necessary to light the manora unbelievable thing we see that the the Greeks purposely went to contaminate this oil by the way they wanted to contaminate the oil that's how it's the sages explained it that they came to contaminate this oil as well and what what's the point of contam contaminating o once they they finding this pure jar of oil so I want to point out this everything was destroyed everything was a mess but there was this one piece of oil intact it it teaches us something very very important that you can become broken but at the same time they can't really break you and that's the the power and the spirit and the soul the ever undying Soul within they our soul will will never die it may fall asleep it may look like it's dead but the soul within the Deep essence of our soul this is a part of Hashem that's that's pure oil everything around you could look contaminated it could be buried which it was it was buried but it wasn't broken it was pure and and intact and we on many levels of our conscious experience can be broken can be lost can be confused can feel weak can feel abandoned but in the end of the day there's a place within us this jar of oil represents that will never be broken and will never become contaminated and it's from that point that we rebuild and it's that it's from that point that we have rebuilt after the Holocaust we were devastated but you can never kill the soul within and that forever living soul that part of true life and eternality fights back and just look at the how the Jews are thriving around the world today still we have enemies still we're hated still we're confused and lost many of us but dying you could never say that the Jewish people will ever die we are forever people because we have a part of foreverness within us and that part is above everything above everything it it really points to some of the things we've been saying over and over again we have a dark confusing world we can become confused we we can become lost we can fall asleep but we will wake up Hashem says so in the Torah in the end of days we're going to wake up he's going to bring us back if we can come back on our own that's great but even if we don't come back ultimately he will bring us back and it's important to understand that hope is never lost and when we're dealing with the souls of Israel the the soul within each of us however broken we feel however beaten we feel we have to remember always The Impossible is possible when when it when we're dealing with our soul because Hashem is infinite and he put a part of that infinite power in us and when you have that then the impossible not only becomes possible but becomes easy easy we are for sure capable of overcoming anything you face you for sure can can win and there's another proof that they bring Hashem loves us and only wants what's best for us and so if we're faced with a challenge that seems too difficult to to accomplish we're actually unfortunately seeing it wrong now I'm not going to belittle the way we see it we're hurt we're broken it's hard but you have to know even if your eyes tell you it's impossible it's not because you're not you're not you're impossible if you're impossible then you can accomplish impossible you are beyond the limits of this world and of nature the fact that we exist for 6,000 years almost that itself is impossible but we're here if we see that the impossible happens with us then we should start to believe that we can accomplish The Impossible and that belief will be the foundation for unbelievable accomplishment unbelievable we have no idea what we have yet to accomplish it's it's all just waiting for us in front of us and it's you have to know it's not us it's Hashem it's the Hashem that wants to come through us there's a Hashem God wants and shows us that he wants to shine through for whatever reason why he wants to shine through me I don't know but Hashem wants to shine through you you have to pull away the Brokenness pull away the pieces pull away the darkness pull away the coverings and you will shine for Hashem like you never saw that's the how lights the whole idea is to take this manura who's the manura who's the manur where the manur where the oil the oil and Wick means Body and Soul the oil is the soul the wick is the body this is Body and Soul the light it's our light we're the light Hashem says I'm going to put you out there and you're going to shine for me that's our job to shine light spread light spread goodness spread love and that's what's going to bring an end to this Darkness
