October 7th. What does this mean to you?
>> I don't think there's an [music]
explanation or a reason that a person
can give to to sum up October 7. [music]
And in fact, let's go all the way with
this. I don't think we could sum up and
give an explanation or reason to why a
12-year-old girl with her new bike has
to get hit by a car and never come home.
Just don't know. There was a woman that
lost her family that went all the way to
America to speak about what she went
through and they're screaming at her.
Shame on you. Shame on you that Hamas
came and slaughtered your family in
front of your eyes and you want the
world to know the truth. Shame on you.
Ooh, get out of here, dirty Jew. It's
hard [music] to know things, but this I
do know. Nothing's over. Nothing's new.
Nothing started on October 7th.
The idea of the twisting the story and
and blaming the Jews for everything is
from day one.
When Hamas started this war, they on
this day
the atrocities that happened will be
forever ingrained in the Jewish people.
And yet immediately afterwards, the
world began to create a lie. And that
lie was that the Jews were committing
genocide. And in fact, we don't belong
in this country and that we're
occupiers. We're taking over this land.
Do you think that this war is over?
>> Um, it's hard to know things, but this I
do know. Nothing's over. Nothing's new.
Nothing started on October 7th.
The idea of the twisting the story and
and blaming the Jews for everything is
from day one. This this when when when
when they won't turn us into the devil.
Actually, no. The devil works for us.
So, we're worse than the devil until
we'll be the worst in the devil until
the light of Messiah and and a greater
light that Hashem shines wakes us all
up. And uh again, what's happening now,
it's it's intense.
um [clears throat] we were able to
experience it in ways that we wouldn't
in the past. And so quite literally, but
I wouldn't want to belittle those that
literally lived through it, but we
virtually live through what happened and
the the images and the stories. It just
tears the soul and the heart and and and
tears us apart. And so we suffer more
than hearing things from far away. You
don't you wouldn't have heard about it
till long after today. in the split
second we know everything that's
happening. So the truth is uh it's not
new and it's and it's going to continue.
The the hate and the the distortions
it's not even coming from a conscious
level of the world and certainly our
enemies that are sworn to kill us.
That's what they dream about all day to
to wipe us off ex of existence. And
somehow they've convinced the entire
social media social social climate of of
the world to join them in in get rid of
the Jew. And it's through that point
that Ezekiel 37
28 says
that I am God
when my sanctuary is is with them
amongst them for eternity. It's not
without a doubt that Hamas who called
this war the floods of Alaka and in they
literally tied their October 7th to the
Temple Mount. And yet the Jewish people
are still afraid of approaching the one
proof that they have brought that God is
still in their side. Because as long as
that abomination, as Daniel calls it, it
still sits on that spot
in their eyes, God has abandoned us
because they hate. So when you when
there's hate, you you can't you won't
see the truth. When there's enough hate,
then the the uh the logical conclusion
is the insanity. So it's actually quite
logical for them to have their insane
view of the Jew and of of the world and
call us genocide, call us evil.
Nothing's changed. But at the same time,
when we can get angry and we can see the
the horrors of what ultimately is
unleashing on us, I think that that
there's also a a little little little
tiny spark of hope in that if their
souls really see the truth in in in
heaven, then there's a possibility for
them to do the right thing. And what's
stopping them is the hate, is the ego.
We all have a job to do. We all have
work to do. God wants us to make this a
perfect world. That's what's going to
bring us to Messiah and this great
eternal life. You got to deserve to live
forever. I mean, you put up with people
for a couple of years, 50, 80, 100
years, and and they're gone. And God and
Bashem sometimes that that the evil in
this world disappears. But to live
forever, you have to really you have to
really be perfect. And he wants us to to
reach that point. So, we're not going to
we're not going to convince them. It's
not our job to try to plead with them.
Come back. Come to us. We love you.
That's nonsense. It's the ones in the
middle. The real challenge. And I think
what God really wants to see are the
ones that have a chance to see the real
truth to see it and make that step
because then the world fixes itself
rather than God slapping it in the face
and saying, "I'm going to fix you." And
and that's not the right way to fix the
world. The way to really fix this world
is what God wanted from the beginning.
He wants self-made accomplished people.
And so we have to fix ourselves. And
that's why God's waiting to to he still
has hope that we can fix ourselves. And
that means all over the nations of the
world and all of the good that he put in
those places in those nations, they have
a potential to fix and correct
themselves. And that's part of why I
think we're still here. We also have our
work to do. He wants the Jews to fix
themselves as well. We all have to
become better people. And we all have to
realize we're part of God's world. And
there's a way to make it work. It's
hard, but God's waiting for us to make
it work. That's why it's taking so long.
And that's why it's so hard. That's why
it comes through so much pain. pain.
Again, we're not explaining what
happened, but but pain is a part of the
world that God created. He created
brokenness, and it's our job to fix it.
And it's hard and it hurts. Life hurts,
but life is life. Nobody would ever
trade life for for for for giving it up.
Meaning, with the pain and with the hurt
and with the sorrow, it's still life.
And we must embrace it with with with
idea that to be alive is the greatest
gift from God. No matter what. No matter
what. I just want to close with some
words from the heart. I just want to
close with a a tribute to to the those
that perished and those that are
suffering from the October 7th and every
horror and every tragedy we have to face
and they were still facing is this life
can never die and death will never live
and those that choose life have light
and have eternity and those that choose
death are as if not they never were
because a lie doesn't become a lie when
you find out it's a lie. a lie never
was. And those that choose the lies and
death and darkness will find out that
they won't even find out they they don't
really really exist.
And I want to bring a beautiful thing we
say in Esra. We say ultimately that
those that are life and that choose life
that of course can never die don't die.
They sleep. They take a long nap in the
earth. that God will and and and the the
prophets and the our our prayer text
says that one day God will come back and
wake up those sleeping sleeping in the
earth and this is the idea of the Msiah
coming and the resurrection of the dead
and so all of those
souls souls people and we see it we
don't just hear it we see it now they
didn't die for nothing and they didn't
even really die they were killed but
they did not die they will rise again to
the perfect eternal forever world and we
will understand only then We'll have the
answers. We have reasons and answers
then. Now we just have a broken heart.
But then we will know that it was all
worth it because it was all what will
bring us to the perfect eternal life
together with God and together with with
each other.
>> Amen. We say
let our eyes open up and witness the
redemption that's unfolding.
>> Amen. Thank you.
