The Shocking Truth About Resurrection in the Messianic Age - Rabbi Moshe Chaim Eade

So, we have to speak about the resurrection of the dead. And I'm going to read you something from the Ben Ish Hai that the Ben Ish Hai brings from the Mekubalim. The Ben Ish Hai was the great great sage Mekubal Torah Halachic authority from Baghdad from 100 years ago. This is a picture of him. Just looking at his face is very very holy thing. It's being It's Mekadesh your neshama. Very very This picture is very very special. He's speaking about the pasuk in this week's parashah which talks about the wild beasts. Hashem is going to send the wild beasts. The wild beasts are going to only go and destroy the wicked people the Mitzrim but they will not touch the Israelites. And they'll be saved. The wild beasts were already there and Moshe Rabbeinu tells [snorts] Pharaoh that the beasts are coming. So, he mentions something very very special about the word "produce". And then he says let me tell you about the resurrection of the dead. Rebbe you ready? So, he says how does the resurrection of the dead work? So, he brings from the Mekubalim inyan tchiat hametim. The idea of the resurrection of the dead doimeh leme shenizrak lo barzel shachut keoferet bekarka shehi kula chol. Like a person who takes some type of a metal piece, shard it's a bit cut up and scatters it throws it onto the ground, but the ground is filled with sand and pebbles. And therefore, you can't quite tell where the metal is cuz the metal has tarnished. The metal looks like the pebbles. Maybe you could even say that it's silver. Maybe it's even gold. Not tarnished gold. Gold doesn't tarnish. It's gold that's been maybe hidden, maybe painted over that you can't notice that it's gold. And you throw this out and it's been ground up and it's been and it's all scattered on the ground. So, how do you go and find your precious metal? How do you retrieve the metals? So, look what he says. You can't notice where the precious metal is. You can't see it. It looks like one with the sand. So, what do you do? So, already back then we had famous concepts that you probably heard about or seen people doing. You bring a very powerful magnet. See people on the beaches like rusty fork. Oh, okay. They're looking for stuff. But, here you bring an evan shai evis, a very powerful magnet. And he have vera al gabia a hole and you start moving this magnet >> [snorts] >> over the sand. And all of a sudden, does the sand come up to the pebbles come up to the magnet? No. But, what comes up to the magnet? The precious metals. The highest of shai evis a barzel, that all the metals, the precious metals are pulled up. But, all of the pebbles and sand remained in its place. They don't get up. They stay there on the ground. Says the Ben Ish Chai quoting from the Mekubalim. Hashem is going to do the same thing with Hashem it should be today, amen. Hashem is going to do the same thing in the resurrection of the dead. Moirid tal, he's going to bring dew. A different mechanism, but we're going to see this magnet's going to come back in our discussion of Shevim. Hashem is going to bring this dew and rain down this dew on the land. You would imagine, well, everyone on the land, everyone on the earth is going to be affected equally by this dew. The dew is going to come down on the land. >> [snorts] >> The kol afar shel gufim, all those people who had yiras shamayim, all those people that attached themselves to truth, the truth of Torah, the truth of life, to God, their body is going to koltoi, their body is going to receive the dew. It's going to be magnetized to them and the dew will go into their bodies and begin to bring moisture into their bodies, like the words of the prophet, that the dry bones are once again going to come back to life and start developing rich wet flesh, which had once be at one point become dry and lifeless is going to become animated once again. The afar and the earth and the dust of those that were evil and wicked, nisharim koimaim, they're just going to stay in their place. They're not going to get up, just like the powerful magnet when you run it on the earth, it pulls all the that which can relate to the magnet, that which is magnetized is going to pulled up in the resurrection. So too, in the resurrection there's going to be this dew, and the dew is going to go in and allow to come out of the ground those that were able to receive the dew. These are very exciting things that are coming. So, our job is we want to make ourselves magnetic. We want to make ourselves able to receive the dew that we're going to get up out of the ground. Yeah, so far so good? Questions? Yeah. >> What is um I'm not sure how to phrase this, but what is the resurrection of the dead really going to do? What's its What's its purpose? >> The purpose of the resurrection of the dead is that we should know that death is not the end of the story. How many people in humanity are comfortable with speaking about death? Very, very little. We should all live until 120 years, but long lives. But many people, I would say the majority of people, when that topic comes up, they get very uncomfortable and change the topic. As if somehow they think they're going to avoid it. What did the famous comedian say? There's two things that are certain in the world. Taxes and death. That's it, you know? That's how it goes. I joke with my wife that And there's this one There's a third one. And here in Israel we get these like circulars that come around that basically like have all the advertisements. You know, multi-Shabbat is now already going to be advertising the next week's stuff. Okay, these are like these circular things that come around. Okay. These are certain certainties. But it's an amazing thing that people don't think about it. And they avoid it because they subconsciously are afraid that this is the end of the story. So, if a person subconsciously thinks that this is the end of the story, you want to avoid that discussion at all costs. But I have to tell you the words of cook. If cook says Ah, if cook If cook says that death is his gabrus hayem. Death is the strengthening of life. I get goosebumps every time I say that. Just just the concept of death is when you get more life. You only get more life if what you did in this world was filled with life. Then you just unleash the life that you chose in this world. Okay, that's the truth of what death is. Death is the transition to more life, more God consciousness. But to most of the world that do not know this truth, they run away from it at all costs. We've spoken about this a little bit before, the power One time we played a song about a year ago. We had a student here, Josh Carr, zikhrono livrakha, who passed away last year. And we spoke a lot about death. Just the idea. And to make it more, you know, to help people cope, and more than just cope, but relate to what's what this journey is all about. And there's a famous song that was written called Conversations from the Womb. Anybody heard this song before? If anybody has a a device, you could probably find it now on Spotify. Just go Conversa- Journeys, Conversations from the Womb. Very kedai thing. Maybe we'll play it. You got your speaker? I knew you would. >> Conversations from >> Conversations from the Womb or Conversations in the Womb. >> What's the song? >> AB Rotenberg, yeah. Journeys. >> I thought it was by Journey. >> Yeah, the the band is called Journeys, yeah. Journeys. And AB Rotenberg. >> I'm yeah, I'm familiar. >> So, >> this This song essentially is about the following. It's about two babies inside the womb. And now the two babies are having a conversation. What are the babies saying? They're saying, you know, like you know, you know, what a twin say inside of a womb? So, "How's it going? You know, a bit cramped in here, bro, you know, like make some space." But it's deeper than that. They're talking about like is this the end of the story? And they seem to know that there's a time that they're going to leave this place. But one of them says to the other, you know, we're going to leave this place, you know, there's a bigger world out there. Right, you have it in there? >> I found the lyrics on that. >> Okay. >> That's what you said. >> Oh, yeah? So, you queued up for us? I knew you would have this. Love is blind. >> Big permit to get a swallow from. >> Oh, yeah? Okay, oh, pause. Let's go pause on this one because we're prepping. Yeah, this is it. This is so it. Okay, get ready. >> [music] >> You want to pause it? >> I'll pause it. >> Yeah, okay. We need like the introduction before the song, but this is it. I I I get also goosebumps when I hear the song. It's very, very moving. I feel like you need the lights off and like So, basically the one's baby says to the other >> [snorts] >> says you know, it's going to be great like we're going somewhere amazing after this. And the other one's like, "Well, you're so fickle. You like what do you think? There's nothing after this. There's nothing. It's all going to end. You're just going to you're going to We're going to leave here and it's just going to be nothing. Like dark." Which a lot of the world thinks. Like you leave this world and then 6 ft under. The Jews >> a conscious though, like Pardon? So many many people have all sorts of ideas and they're scared of that. They're scared of you being conscious of black. It's spooky, right? The Jews are here to tell the world By the way, we are the most pro-life people in the whole world. We are mega into life. Everything is about life. Bachart bachaim. What we're also here to teach the world is that the life you live here will continue on. So back to our two babies inside the womb. So one of them says to the other He's like, "What are you thinking, man? There's nothing. It's done. You know, this is it." And the other one says, "No, you don't get it. Like we're going somewhere. We're going somewhere." And the other one says, "No, you're so you don't know what's going on. Don't believe those fairy tales that they told you." And all of a sudden, one of them like they feel like motion. And the other one and one's like the first one's like falling out. He's dying. He's like, "No, brother." And he just he doesn't know and he just hears crying and that's like and then it just ends. And he thinks like that's it. I lost my brother. And what he doesn't realize is on the other side just think about this how deep this is. On the other side is mazel tovs and life and a new baby boy. And to the degree and that's why the Torah calls birth a type of death. You're leaving this space and you're going, you're transitioning through this medium. That's why a lot of the things in the Kabbalah's like the birthing canal, all sorts of secrets about going to the next world. And whatever you think this world is, just how insane this thought is. Whatever you think this world is, it's literally like a womb compared to being birthed into a universe. Which means whatever you think is going on here, just wait. Learn how and it's all that much more. So the Ben Ish Hai is saying, "What is the resurrection all about?" That was our question. It's about knowing and with tremendous belief. This is one of the 13 principles of Jewish belief that we want to tell the whole world. Is that the resurrection is a reality. Cuz it shows you that death isn't the end of the story. There's a long story ahead, my friends. How do you get ready for the long story ahead? Torah and mitzvahs. So we invite the whole world to come to Aish HaTorah. Torah and mitzvahs. Okay, for about the next 3 minutes, we're just going to go into total meditation. Uh Natani, you want to get the lights? Feel at peace. Did they go off or they're on like uh emergency timers? Okay, you guys ready for this? Take a deep breath in. I'm going to queue it up from the beginning. This song is that journey. >> [music] [music] >> Just breathe, my friends. >> [music] [music] >> My dear brother, look around and tell me what [music and singing] your eyes behold. Don't deny [singing] that you see it's only you and me. Our existence [music] is empty. It is cold. >> [singing] >> Our existence [music] it is empty. It is cold. >> But dear brother [singing] >> [music] >> you must have faith that we are not the only ones. >> [music] >> Cuz in the distance there's [singing] a place where we'll stand up [music] tall and straight. Oh, I believe [singing] that there is a world to come. >> [music] >> Yes, I believe [singing] that there is a world to come. >> My dear brother [music] don't be blind. >> [singing] >> Don't be stubborn. Don't be set. Imagination, [music] it's all [singing] right. But it won't light up the night. [music] What you see is exactly what you get. What you see [music] is exactly what you [singing] get. >> But dear [music] brother you will surely [singing] find when all is said and done >> [music] >> that the future it will [singing] show there is so much we don't [music] know. Oh, I believe [singing] that there is a world to come. >> [music] >> Yes, I believe >> [singing] >> that there is a world to come. >> [music] [music] >> My dear brother where have you gone? [music] Is this the moment I have known? [singing] I can [music] faintly hear the cry. My dear [singing] brother must have died. It's all over. [music] Now forever I'm alone. [singing] Oh, it's [music] all over now forever. I'm alone. >> [singing] >> But dear brother, >> [music] >> please don't [singing] mourn me when my life has just begun.

Soon you'll >> [singing] >> be here with me in this world to come. >> [music] >> Soon you'll be [singing] here with me in this world to come. >> [singing] [music] >> And that is a very, very moving. It says we're going to a place they're going to stand up tall, you're going to stand up. This world is just the beginning of the journey. This is just the beginning of the journey. And one of the most important things is that a person knows and has emunah shleima in the resurrection. >> [snorts] >> Which is so much part of the kindness [clears throat] of God is that God says this is not the end of the story. This is one long story. The more you learn Torah just learning, learn more and more Torah, you'll see that everything is about Hashem's kindness, more kindness, more kindness. You see how big this whole story is. We're on this journey together, yeshivin. This is all part of the teshuvah, the amazing teshuvah of yeshivin. Just more and more and more closeness to Hashem. >> [snorts] >> We're going to talk more about the journey. About the journey. About why we went to all sorts of crazy places in this world. It's been quite a journey for all of us. We're going to go on this journey together. It's a it's a simcha to be on the journey together and to know that we're getting ready for very, very long-term relationships together. We're going to place that we're once again finally going to stand up tall and proud and tell the whole world about Hashem and not be ashamed. And not be ashamed of anything. And even if one of people want to put stars on our our arms, we're not afraid to tell the whole world chas v'shalom. Chas v'shalom. We're going to tell the whole world that Hashem is real and Hashem loves all of humanity and he only wants good and we're going to share this love and this goodness with the whole
