[Music] do [Music] so [Music] do [Music] hi there welcome back to discovery you are here at the final leg of discovery the final part my name is jacob solomon i'll be your host for the final leg of discovery and it has been quite a ride has it not quite a journey well discovery has been an amazing thing has been for so many years and still is today let's go back a little bit a quick review and then we'll get into the remarkable ending which i guarantee you will not be disappointing people just wait for this final thing if you haven't ever seen it before i think you're in for a treat so the final leg of discovery we'll go back and look at what we started to do in the beginning of discovery and we have a book five books of moses what we call the the written torah and the question is where did it come from pretty good question is it true is it possible that this can actually be a divine book given to us by god 3332 years ago is that really a possibility as absurd as it may be to some people we have given quite a bit of evidence towards that regard or you look at the alternative and say you know what this is really made by people human beings and you know it's a smart book it's got a lot of wisdom in it but it's not exactly divine that is a big difference between those two choices right if you choose the first choice then you know you're living according to the word of god and that means a lot it will change just about everything that you do but if you don't if you leave the second one then you're pretty much on your own which maybe some people would prefer i don't know but let's what is the truth now i told you to be the jury before and you're looking at the evidence and we've shown you a lot of evidence we started out with a idea about mammals and idea that but we figured out and understood that the author was correct there's only one mammal in the world that has split hooves but does not chew it's good which is the pig we had the fish the fins and scales how did they know that there's no fish in the sea with scales without fins and yet they were correct and we had the shmitah the seven year agricultural cycle with the i guess ridiculous solution to how to solve it and doesn't matter if we starve or not and somehow it worked and then we of course we have the codes the hidden codes of the torah amazing everybody is just blown away by it because there's so much in there these are predictions that are made by the author hidden in code in the torah and clearly with mathematical significance and then we had the uh seven wonders of jewish history remarkable and contradictory predictions about we have an eternal nation but at the same time they're so tiny and everybody hates them and they're scattered and dispersed and yet they're the light under the nations the whole thing makes no sense and then on top of it all it is predicted prognosticated in advance in the torah and then we have the transmission no other nation no other religion in the entire world in all of history has ever claimed that god spoke to all of them nobody nobody ever did that and here we are it's the only claim you can make and uh and it'd be real unless it didn't happen then you can't make that claim so we have a transmission process we have codes we have seven wonders of jewish history unbelievable and then we have of course the identifying information all clearly pointing we believe to the evidence that the torah is divine at the same time if you recall we told you that don't wait to be 100 convinced remember way back when harry was going to the doctor and wondering whether to take that shot or not he looks at the consequences and the evidence and if the evidence even if it's slightly more than what he then even even if it's only 54 or 60 evidence if the consequences are equal you kind of have to go with the evidence so you're looking at that evidence and you're wondering about it and and it's it's starting to resonate and saying maybe it makes some sense but there are some people out there that are still skeptical so for that we bring in the final piece the final piece so now we look at control an example one example i an incredible example of god showing the complete control of the history of mankind in order to do that we need to begin to speak about one of the famous books of the scriptures you know there are 24 books of the scriptures and all of them have certain similarities we're going to speak today about one of my favorite books of the scriptures and that is the book of esther as we call it lat esther now the book of esther is a fascinating story a story about what happened to the jewish people persia 2400 years ago and a lot of miracles at that time and amazing things that happened when we look at some of them right now but in its side of it there's some fascinating things that many people don't realize mcgee lath esther now what does that mean everybody translated as the book of esther but in fact megillah esther is a little bit different than that megillat what does that word megillah mean well that comes from a derivative of the word and that means to reveal so it doesn't mean a book it actually means not a scroll but to reveal what about esther is anybody out there by the name esther what is the root of the name esther esther cesar cesar cesar means that something is concealed esther really means not just the scroll of esther but revealing something that is concealed something that's hidden and that is what we're going to do right now in order to do that we have to look at the scroll of esther at the miguel odessa so let's do that let's take a look at the scroll of esther and see and see exactly what we're talking about okay we're going to look at the scroll of esther and we're going to look at exactly as it looks in front of you over there and you see that that's the way it is written this is the ninth chapter of the book of esther and if you see it you can see that there's some unusual writing over there the scrolls are written by hand on parchment by scribes meticulously and there are scrolls that go back 500 years 700 years eight hundred years wherever you wanna go in museums you'll find a mcgill at esther and you'll see that what i'm about to show you is exactly the way it appears in every megillah which look in front of you is the writing the hebrew writing of the magilla let's take a look at the english translation so we get a better idea of what exactly it is saying and read along with me and the jews struck at all their enemies with the sword and with slaughter and destruction and then as they please to those who hated them this is in chapter nine as i say at this time the jews have finally won they they've won all their battles everything is fine wonderful and the mcgill is telling us something amazing and in shushan the capital capital of persia the jews slew and destroyed five hundred men including pashandatta and dolphina and asparta paratha and italia naridata and parmasala so they destroyed 500 men including the 10 sons of haman is everybody clear now you have to be clear about this in order to appreciate what you're about to see the jews have destroyed 500 men they slew and destroyed those men including the 10 sons of haman fine but take a look at the next slide and you're about to see something really really amazing right after that it tells us that same day the number of those killed in shush on the capital was reported to the king the king said to queen esther in shushan the capital the jews have slain and destroyed 500 men including the ten sons of haman what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces what is your request now which shall be granted to you what is your petition further it shall be fulfilled now you have to know something that's interesting about the miguel tester there is something unique about that book that no other book in the scriptures has anybody know what that is well what it is is that in the entire baguilla des there hashem god's name is never mentioned imagine it's a book of the scriptures you would think it's got full of god's name nope god's name isn't even there at all so of course all the rabbis pounce on this and they say what's going on how would you have a book of the scripture without god's name he said well we have an answer you know the rabbis you always have an answer we have an answer to it here's the explanation let's see if you like this the explanation that they gave was that god's name really is in the book of esther but like so many other things it too is hidden well sounds like you know one of those cop-out answers it too is hidden where is god's name hidden and how can you hide it so that's this one of their explanations the explanation is that if i want to mention the name of the king at the time of the story of purim the name of the king was say that over 10 times fast and if i want to refer to the king arthur beyerson of magilla i could write it several ways for instance if i want to refer to the president of the united states i could say president trump or i could say mr trump or i could say the president same thing with the achievers i could say or i could say his name or i could say just hamilah the king and we know that it's ah so the rabbi said you know god's name is hidden in there because if it refers to the king it'll say his name or king but sometimes it just says it just says the king when it says the king that's a veiled reference to god himself he is the king of the world so let's take a look at that paragraph that i just read to you and see if we know what the rabbis are talking about see if it makes sense because i think you may have some questions about how serious that is so take a look at it that same here the number of those killed in shoeshine the capital was reported to the king here it says the king the king said the queen doesn't say just as the king as if we're talking about god so what happens over here the king says what is your request to esther you've already won anything you want it's a platinum american express card furs yachts jewelry anything you want there what is your petition further it shall be fulfilled look at this stunning answer the answer esther gives truly is incredible she says esther replied if it pleases the king allow the jews of shushan to do tomorrow as they have done today and let haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows well what is going on did we not see just a short time ago did we not see that indeed the ten sons of haman were already killed the ten sons of haman we read them all they already were killed esther is asking to hang dead men hang ten dead men that's to request and furthermore if the king really means god she's asking god to hang 10 dead men that's a pretty neat trick but god supposed to come down with the big hand and pick them up and why is she doing this that's what she asks for perhaps perhaps this is the chilling answer to what esther was really asking for do tomorrow as they have done today take a look at the new york times october 16th 1946 boring ends life by poison ten others hanged in nuremberg prison for nazi war crimes doomed men on gallows pray for germany 1946 in nuremberg trials i was not alive at that time but i read about it studied it a lot of people did and here it is new york times supporting us 10 nazis hanged in nuremberg prison how many sons of haman were hanged 10. how many nazis were hanged at nuremberg ten now there was as you see goring ends life by poison so there was an additional nazi who committed suicide does anybody here know anybody watching know you're aware of one additional child that haman had yes eamonn had an 11th child it was a daughter ten sons one daughter what do we know about haman's daughter well there's only one story that i've ever heard about hangman's daughter anybody who asked anybody that you meet you say what about haman's daughter what happened they will all tell you the same things only one story is known about her you see she was a big fan of her father she was very excited she found out that haman was supposed to be regaled in the streets in the parade and mordecai the poor jew is going to leave him on the horse so in her little apartment which is a couple of stories up whatever that was she had prepared what we call a little chamber pot and she was going to disgrace the poor jew she was when the parade was going to come by in front of her uh window she was going to drop the pot on the poor jew mordechai unbeknownst that haman's daughter mordechai and haman had switched places you see mordechai was now found to be in favor with the king haman was not heyman was actually leaving mordechai on the horse she didn't know this so when the parade comes by in her delirium she takes the chamber pot tosses it over and then looks out and sees that she's about to disgrace her very own father and what does she do she leaps from the window and commits suicide ten nazis were hanged at nuremberg one commit suicide oh ten not ten of haman's sons were hanged one daughter commits suicide and in a recent book it was found that goring the one who committed suicide was actually a transvestite he wore women's clothing under his nazi uniform incredible due tomorrow as they have done today esther made a request she asked for something to happen we didn't know what it was what does that mean do tomorrow and then curiously many many many years later over 2000 years later in nuremberg almost the same thing happens fascinating yes but it's not over yet let's take a look at a calendar because we want to understand exactly what the the historical significance was of that now the hangings at nuremberg uh took place in 1946. now what was the hebrew name for 1946 let's take a look at the calendar and you're going to have to know a little bit hebrew for this but if you don't i'm gonna walk you through it so you don't have to worry okay and watch take a look at you'll be you'll be amazed by it we see the calendar and we see that this is october 1946 and there is circle the date of october 16th but on top it tells you that the hebrew date was tough shin zion you see there are no numerals in the hebrew language if you want to say one you have to say allah if you want to say two you have to say base so there are no numerals but the way to say the hebrew date the hebrew calendar in hebrew is tough shin zion that is the year of 57.07 we're making this recording now in 57.80 but in 5707 it was tough shen zion now what is the significance of the year of tough shin zion and why am i showing this to you and teaching you hebrew you have better things to do than that i'm going to turn back to what we looked at at the megillah you noticed that before we saw that all of haman's sons were written very very large regular type was fine but when it came to the layman's sons apparently esther was very proud of that and take a look even if you cannot read hebrew you'll see that there are a lot of different letters different configurations and you'll see that there are different ways of writing each letter and they're very very large however and now hang on to your socks however 2400 years ago when esther wrote this she wrote them very very large and yet at the same time there were three letters that she wrote that are miss sized very very small tough shin and zion the tough is in the first in the first name the shin is in the seventh name and the zion is in the last name tough shin zion the incredible idea that esther for some reason had those numbers those letters unique the tough shin zion is the exact date year of the hangings at nuremberg unbelievable mind you these letters and these i understand that i just told you these letters were sitting and totally uh misunderstood or not understood for years and years and years people grappled with it rabbis grappled with it why are the letters so small those three letters what what's the difference why did esther do that it was as if esther was dictating to the scribes i wanted very very large us to be very very excited about the hanging of hangman when you get that it was tough to make a little small when you get to the shin and they would ask is it esther i guess they asked why why is that said no no no no reasons no explanations given that one day there'll be a discovery seminar and everything will be clear but nothing happened until tough shin zion which was 1946 and then when the hangs of nuremberg came along that was it and people didn't even realize the association until about 20 years later when hasidic rabbi said wait a minute tough shin zion that has significance those are the small letters and that's the year at nuremberg incredible but some of you who are a little bit sharper may be wondering a little bit uh about what we're actually exactly saying about the tufts and zion let's go back to the calendar because it's really fascinating let's take one more look at that same calendar and you'll see that it's not exactly the way i just said it because in fact if you take a look at the at the calendar you'll see that the year was 5707 and the hebrew is tough shenzhen now tough shin zion does not exactly equal 5707. you see what the problem is the problem is that there's no way to say 5 000 in the hebrew year you can only say tough is the last letter the alphabet we have what's called gematria numerical equivalence and tough is 400 and shin is 300 and zion is seven so that's close it's 707 but it's not tough shin zion here we have tough is we have shin is 300 we have sine equals seven that equals to a total of 7.07 which is fine wonderful however it doesn't equal to 57.07 we want to get back to 57.07 five thousand but you can't write five thousand hebrew if i want to write five thousand on a check you wanna send yakub solomon a check for five thousand dollars because he loved discovery so are you gonna write that check in hebrew well you can't write five thousand you're gonna have to write a lot of letters it's going to be all over how do you do that so we have a tradition and the tradition is that when you're writing thousands when you're writing it you don't write that column you leave off the thousand column it's as if we're saying you should know which millennium you're in you don't need to write that column so we just drop it off but think very carefully because now it gets even better you see how many times in history have we had the year 707 well in the first time which was 5 000 years ago we had the year 707 and how was it written touching zion because it was 707. but if what i'm saying is correct and a thousand years later we had 1707. in the year 1707 we also wrote a touchscreen time because we leave off the thousand column then we had 2707 then we had 3707 and 47 and then 57 so how many times in history have we had that year touching zion six times count 707 17 27 37 47 575 six times just like since we're on that in that millennia six times we've had the year 707 zion why is that significant well for very good reason i'm going to show you why significant and some people find it hard to believe but it is true you see in fact there are not just three missed size letters and the ten sons of haman take a look we have the tough we have the shin we have the zion but in fact there is one more the tough the shin the zion and look at the bottom name the the the is also missing it is larger than all the other letters only one letter is missing like that there's only one letter in fact only one letter that is so large and that's the above and what is the numerical equivalent of six there are four letters missiles cuff 707 which 707 we've had a few of them above the sixth one that's 5707 that 5707 that is in fact the exact year of the hangs at nuremberg now let's go back for a moment because there's something really fascinating there's a picture on a previous slide that i showed you and let's take a look at that picture because it is remarkable see that picture will show us something that that you may be very very surprised at let's see if we can go back and we'll take a look and you'll see that there was a picture it was a picture in the in the very beginning and it was a picture from the new york times that picture showed us well let's not go back we don't have to go back and see it but you'll see that it's true that picture shows that there was a trial actually ended in 1946 and it was october 16th 1946 when the hangs took place but the trial ended in june of 1946 as the caption tells us there was a caption of the picture over there that told us that in june 1946 that trial was over now isn't that fascinating it was over in 1946 and then it says that the reason that the nazis were not hanged is because there were quote appeals for amnesty you know when i look at it i'm a child of holocaust survivors and uh i heard so many stories concentration camps etc and the nuremberg trials was like somewhat of a solace that at least some of them were getting their due but appeals for amnesty what would just just let them go these nazi butchers just let the how can we understand appeals for amnesty of course it wasn't granted and eventually they were hanged a few months later but why would that be you know why ladies and gentlemen i believe that because the trial ended too early it was june 1946 you know in june of 1946 what was the hebrew year of june 1946 it was not 5707 it was 5706. the year changes in rosh hashanah in september then it goes to 5707. it was still 5706. that would be tough and if they had hanged those nazis right after the trial ended we would have nothing here and i would be standing here and appealing to you and saying ladies and gentlemen look how close we came 5706 and we just missed it esther was almost right now there were appeals for amnesty makes no sense but the reason was because we had to wait we had to wait until it was 57.07 and once we waited until 5707 by the way the hangs took place when an ashana rabba hashanah was the last day of sukkot and hashanah according to our sages and tradition we know is the name day of judgment for the entire world shannaraba very holy day 5707 and maybe that's why there were appeals for amnesty because it couldn't have happened in 57.06 you may find it hard to believe that we still have one piece left there's still one more piece that will really shock you because when i first saw it i don't think i ever recovered from it newsweek we're going to look at newsweek folks newsweek magazine member newsweek magazine is still around anymore i don't think so newsweek magazine they wrote an article about the nuremberg trials of course october 28 and this reporter was there and he looked at all what was happening in the 13 steps you see it you don't have to read the whole thing just take a look at the very last paragraph and get ready the very last paragraph tells us only julius striker was one of the nazis hanged only julia stryker went without dignity he had to be pushed across the floor wild eyed and screaming heil hitler mounting the steps he cried out and now i go to god he stared at the witnesses facing the gallows and shouted purim fest 1946 folks purim fest you realize what he's saying purim ended seven months before that purim doesn't fall out in october when do we have purim in march maybe february but almost always in march here he is in october announcing purim fest purim of course was the day of the hangings of the ten sons of haman julius striker his last words are saying exactly what i said julius streicher connected the events of purim when haman's sons were hanged at the events of nuremberg in 1946 how did he know how did he understand that there was some connection one thing i could tell you is that julius streicher never attended a discovery seminar that's for sure we showed you some pretty amazing things now we showed you a piece of the control that god has over the history of mankind remarkable you're looking at home and you're watching and you're saying what is this what did we just see here we saw here an incredible presentation that showed you i believe convincing evidence about the divine authorship of our torah and you're looking back and saying well maybe maybe and it's hard for you and it's hard for you to be convinced and it's hard for you to say i have to follow this because this is god's word i understand that no question i get it but you may look at it and say you know 3332 years ago that was a long long time that's us so long ago mount sinai what happened over there how can i relate to that so let me suggest that you use a little bit of a different paradigm and that is that going back to mount sinai don't think of it as 3 300 years think of it in terms of generations how many generations go back about 133 about 133 generations that that's a number i could handle so a picture of a stairway with 133 steps you say that's how far back it goes well you know you may look at me and say well i don't really have much to do with with religious jews and people who believe in the torah i understand that but i want you to know that from those 133 steps going back to sinai you and i had a lot in common the fact is that you and i were sitting on that same step for about 132 or 133 maybe 134 steps but in the last couple of steps the last couple of generations we have parted something happened but we shared a lot in common for a very very long time it's not that we're so so different it's not that we've been different for so long it's just happened recently something happened and it's hard and we went astray we understand that that's a much better way to look at it you know the talmud says that there was a great sage who used to live and be very very careful with what he ate and he used to plant carob seeds carrot trees when he planted those carrot trees he used to say to himself look i know that you don't see food from cab trees for many years but you know what i'm not only planting them for myself i'm planting them for the future some people are going to come into this world and they're going to see the carob trees that i planted when i came into this world i found carrot trees that someone else planted so it's not only for yourself you have to consider about the generations to come there's a big question in the world today who is a jew great question who is a jew here's a beautiful answer who is a jew one rabbi said will not be determined by who your grandfather or grandmother was who is a jew will be determined by who your grandchildren will be that's a powerful statement something really to think about let me end with a personal story something that happened to me a number of years ago i was living in brooklyn at the time and i was in the famous borough park section of brooklyn and i was walking down the street buying my own business as they say and as i walk by somebody who i've never met in my entire life just looks at me and says excuse me are you going to the funeral i turned around i said uh excuse me what did you say says are you going to the funeral i said uh what funeral he says the funeral if you remember mr schachner you go to mr shaffner's funeral i said look i i don't know mr schaffner i don't know the funeral i don't know you i don't know why i'm talking to you and and what's going on here so he says to me again having never met me before and not knowing who i am or not me not knowing him he says to me of course you know mr shahner what are you talking about and then he explains to me that there are he has three daughters and the three daughters of marry they don't have the name shakhner and yes i know all three of them he says his funeral is right here in the synagogue right now you should go in so i said oh something eerie is going on here and i'm getting a message that i should go in there so i did turned around walked right into the synagogue sat in the back and there was a funeral and a man was standing up there and he was saying talking about mr schachner in the eulogy and this is what he said i'll never forget it he said mr chapman was a devout member of this synagogue he used to come every day and make me say the prayers every day the chakra prayers and he was a big big part of this synagogue and one day says the man i saw mr shakhner go out when he finished the prayers and he walked outside and i walked right behind him and i saw that he went and did not go home he went and he stood across the street at a bus stop okay i thought nothing of it the next day i went out and i saw i happened to notice the same thing and the next day the same thing and the next day the same thing and finally i got curious and one day i said to him you know mr schaffner excuse me but every day i see you come out of the synagogue and you you go and you stand at the bus stop but i don't think you're going to work i think you're retired isn't that right and and you live right around the corner so may i ask what are you doing at the bus stop mr shaffner gave him an answer that i never forgot he said you have to understand i came here right after world war ii i'm a survivor of the concentration camps i thought i would never see the light of day again penniless alone after a while i began to realize that you know what how are the jewish people going to rebuild the only way they're going to rebuild is with the youth they have to teach them to appreciate torah appreciate what it means to be jewish so i happened to be standing at that time when i walked out of the synagogue at the bus stop and from there i saw a bus a school bus a yellow school bus carrying jewish kids off to yeshiva i said that's beautiful that's the most beautiful sight in the world a bus stop taking kids to study torah so i waited another few minutes and there's another bus came and then another bus came and then another and you know this is borough park and i started counting the buses that day i counted 34 buses i stood there i went that is unbelievable 34 bus loads of kids going to study torah so the next day i came out and i said wait a minute i'm not going home i'm going to that bus stop and i went to the bus stop and i stood there and i started counting buses and every day since then i go to that bus stop and i count buses that's how i start my day and if there is one bus that's missing for some reason i'm finished that's how i start my day you see that's the future of the jewish people that's the answer now you know why i stand there and ladies and gentlemen that's why i stand here the same reason i look out and speak to people all over the world and i say you gotta get on the bus it's all about education it's not about completely changing your life around tomorrow that stuff doesn't work it's about getting an education finding out what is this torah really about what is its that its power how do we understand its longevity how do we understand the survival of the jewish people throughout the millennia to me the greatest miracle in the history of mankind just the fact that you and i are still here how are we supposed to understand that without an education you can't my message to you throughout discovery is pretty simple get on the bus there's a lot of ways to educate yourself today doesn't have to be formal education you can do it online you can do it on a website h.com you can do it on on with english english books there are so many there are so many lectures and places you can go even if you're home there's so many ways to look at it all i'm saying to you is don't throw it away until you find out what you already have thank you so much for listening thanks for coming to discovery you'll never forget
