Mishpatim - Justice in the End of Time

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with ari goldberg recorded with hashem's neverending assistance in ramashimashi israel 57 82 2022. this week's parties as part of mashpatim and we have the law as many many laws many clear guidances let us call them from hashem as to how we as jews should behave what it means to respect other people's property what it means to have different types of interactions with people what it means to respect our parents what it means to respect hashem and as an introduction to the concept of mishpot and the madrish the very beginning of our parsha tells us a very deep idea gives us a very important contrast and also gives us a look a peek into the future into what happens in times of mashiach in times of the messiah when it comes to we're speaking about judgments we're speaking about him we're speaking about laws what happens to those who didn't keep the laws who didn't have proper justice in their relationship with the jewish people throughout time what happens to them ultimately so let's see there's a beautiful madrish it's amazing to me how you know it can be even the first madrid of parsha i never learned it before and it's really so touching and beautiful so worth hearing and understanding and relating relating to it says the madrish the very first words of our parish but these are the laws this is what it says in the passage the passage into him in psalms chapter 99 verse 4 says that god loves the the strength the the king of judgment loves what is this passage i mean what is this what is this verse speaking about aim we're speaking about it says the mantra giving strength to god when do we see of course god has all the strength god is all the power when when do we see that god has the power bishop says the magis when god brings upon the idol worshipers those who denied him throughout throughout history whether it was idols of gold and silver of wood or whether it's intellectual idols liberalism socialism all the isms of the world ultimately hashem will bring justice to those who denied him and to those who denied the centrality of the spiritual gift of the jewish people gives us a contrast what is what is a isle worshiping king how does he in idol worshiping can also mean worship of self of course egoism is also a type of idol worship instead of placing god at the center we place ourselves at the center so the quintessential example of this kind of person is the king of babylonia the one who destroyed the first temple refer to the greatness of babylonians the verse in daniel in daniel chapter four verse 27 the guymer so he speaks in a very haughty way and we'll see more of what he says in a moment but god responds to him to his haughtiness russia like god says to him you are wicked you're a smelly a smelly um liquid a smelly liquid it's a reference to the source of the human being where we come from we come from a smelly liquid niska marta you were haughty and you said biscuits spoke about the great his own great power his own great honor and he was honored and he was powerful he was the king over the entire civilized world at the time if we could call it civilized hashem says you don't know god as it were says you don't realize you can't claim any of the power you can't claim any of the honor the honor and the power all belong to me i've lent it to you i've given you that power but it's not yours it's mine [Music] says the magician contrast what is it that the jewish people as represented by king david how do we approach the honor and the power the leaders of the nations of the world they approach it as if they have the power they have the honor and then they wield that power in the way that they see fit which is of course an obvious conscious distinction to the way that god would have it be done with the way that god would have it be used king david says david says to you hashem to you hashem is the power the greatness the awesomeness the beauty of the i'm er and king david says in terms of psalms hashem hashem my god you have done great things he doesn't speak of his own greatness he doesn't speak of his own accomplishments all of the accomplishments belong to hashem belong to god so that's an amazing contrast hashem shows to him to the answer look at look at how you speak look how a king of the jewish people speaks that's the amazing difference between [Music] he has given you power he has given you honor but you said sir that is your own power it's your own honor this is the matrix is the understanding of the positive verse that speaks about the fact that god loves god loves justice when does hashem as the magister understand that the verse is saying god receives oh is he receives the power why because he gives the power to us to the jewish people when the jewish people have the power when we have the mishpat when we have the judgment we when we have the battadin and we have the proper jewish uh halachic courts deciding matters based on the torah based on god's command where do we find that god receives back the power so to speak where is the credit given back to god the power is given back to god when the jewish people when we those who follow the terror the dictates of the terror those who follow the humility which god commands to us within the torah we give back the power of hashem god gets the power god has the power and god loves justice he loves true justice of course in the world today we don't see a lot of true justice we see very little true justice we see a lot of people who are very uh let us say not humble or judging who are allowing themselves to be warped by their previous opinions or by the the judges and the media whatever it is god loves judgment and he gives it to those who we love who does god love it's the jewish people so amazing thing just an amazing idea an amazing concept we think about mishpath and we don't usually think about it this way god gives us all these laws the laws are very clear they're very constricting in a certain sense but they make clear that which we are to do what does it mean to have a relationship with somebody else what does it mean to whom does this money belong right we have an argument one person says it belongs to them one person says it belongs to him who's right the continuation of the verse in psalms chapter 99 verse 4 it says you prepared for the righteous the righteous ways beautiful thing the measure says you prepared straightness for those who love you those who love you is speaking of the jewish people who love the law of hashem who continue to keep the law who continue to to keep all of the 613 commandments of the torah through these laws shall i say to them that you gave them says the magician amazing thing they fight with each other the jewish people fight with each other yes we do we have disagreements two jews two views right we have disagreements with each other uvani deshput but because we have a bottom line we have a definition of what truth is over the definition of what is true justice the title defines what is true about justice and my sins show them ultimately we come to peace our fighting isn't oh i say my opinion you say your opinion and then uh we agree to disagree which is that's a level but it's a deeper level here it's we come at it we fight it out we bang it out until we find the truth we're looking for the real truth we're looking for who really does this money belong to to whom does this money really belong the jewish people say in front of god reborn so now something comes up and this is where we get to the concept of the messiah and what it looks like in the other days because you know god gave us the torah 3 300 years ago 3 300 years we have the torah we have the mishpat we know what justice looks like we know what true and proper justice looks like we know what it looks like you know to whom things belong there's an argument if if my animal causes damage to your animal we know what to do the terror gives us the definition but you see there's a lot of the population in the world that doesn't know what to do what about the iv who didn't follow our lead so to speak they didn't have proper justice they didn't have proper systems of justice and in fact they used their systems of justice in order to destroy the jewish people to cause damage to the jewish people what happens to them ultimately [Music] so that's the question of the jewish people what about what about the island worshipers what about the the nations of the world who used they misused justice god says look there's a very important way of approaching when true justice when final justice will be meted out when do the nations of the world receive their justice when is there any comment right we speak about every day in takhan we ask god to avenge to avenge the the injustices that have occurred throughout history when does that happen so there's a time god says we're going to see this message is so beautiful so important so touching there is a time when you are a farmer when you have a vineyard so you have to wait until the fruit ripens you can't harvest the the fruits you can't bring in the crops early if you bring it into early before it's ripe all you'll get is grapes that are not yet ripe they're not sweet they'll just produce vinegar if you want to produce wine you want to produce grape juice you want to produce something sweet you need to wait until the time has come until the vines are ripe so on that day we're going to speak about a vineyard and you are going to sing and respond to the song that we're going to sing we'll see what the song is very soon a person cannot uh pluck you can't harvest his vineyard before the the fruits have become ripe only once it's ripe then he harvests his his fruits then nicely the gas what do we do we take the grapes we take the harvest and we put it into the threshing floor or in this case the the i'm sorry i lost the word for for what we do what's the name of the location for the grapes and we trample on the grapes with dark zamer and you sing mazara can mean two things it can mean that you take off the the branches the the extra pieces it also means to sing and we sing afterwards we answer the song the way a song works is you have a verse and you have a chorus in the chorus we always come back in the chorus as we do in the shabbos mirrors to the same chorus we always come back to the same chorus and we sing that chorus we respond to god's verse with the chorus there's a moment that we're waiting for men just tells us there's a moment that we're waiting for which is the justice the justice but we can't wait for we can't see the justice and we can't sing we can't sing that song that final song of justice until the time is ripe [Music] the lesson that the is used in ghazal's saw the the measure needs to be filled and in this mandarin the lotion is languages that uh the harvest can't be harvested until the fruits are ripe israel god says to the jewish people wait for me until the time shall adam until the time of of adam comes and there's a moment in history there's a moment before mashiach comes when or when misha comes when messiah is arriving where there's a judgment right before the jewish people and as we saw the jewish people receive the kingship and we give it to god god receives the kingship one is the moment that god receives the kinship it's right after the moment when there's a judgment on the mountain of saiyar and the mountain of edom and adam the the adam which is asaf is represented by the western world by europe by america there's a moment of judgment that moment you gotta wait for you gotta wait for it it's not something that happens until the time is ripe god says when that moment comes just like when it comes to a vineyard you harvest the vineyard you're taking the grapes and then you trample the grapes to get out the fruit to get out the the juice so too it's going to be there's a moment in time where where adam the measure is full the they are ripe and it's time for it to be tran a trampling to occur a destruction of the old order the destruction of the secular order of the liberal order of the idolatrous order as the verse says it says into him in psalms chapter 60 verse 10 upon adam upon the the western world god says i will send my shoe there will be a trampoline [Music] i will start i will say the verse says hashem and you will respond with the chorus karem that's why the pastor says karen i don't know this is the understanding of that verse that we quoted before from isaiah chapter 27 verse 2. hashem noise rather go is an amazing thing there's a concept here and i want to reference once again a gemara that i'm that i learned recently for tests on my base page 119b this measure and that measures speak about something that happens in the end of time which is the cup is full we speak about the measure being full we speak about the harvest being ripe and we speak about the cup being full there's a cup a cup of vengeance which we speak about on pesach pesach is a celebration of the cup of vengeance which was poured upon the egyptians 3 300 years ago but there's a cup ultimately that is poured upon the nations of the world a cup of vengeance for all of the evils that were perpetrated upon the jewish people for this incredibly long ghost two thousand years of exile okay so we have this cup the cup is full the majes the the gemara himself talks about how there's a shabbat who makes a meal he makes the sauda for the deacon the righteous ones in the end of time when the messiah arrives in god's ter god turns to each of them after at the end of the suit at the end of the meal of course the end of the meal represents the completion and asks them to to to bench to lead the grace after meals burkas it turns first to abraham to abraham and he says you lead it avraham says i can't do it because i had a son named ishmael the beginning of the jewish people but i will say to you i can't be the one so they give the cup to yitzhak nixon says i can't leave the benching you know why i had a son named asaf because i also had my own issue i married two sisters in in their lifetime which is forbidden the torah is going to forbid that later so there was something wrong in mayavodi hashem yaakov then tries to pass it to moshe rabbin and moshe says i i was not able to enter the land of israel because muslim speaks about coming into israel i didn't complete it i couldn't complete this you know because it's about the completion which is i can't complete it he passes it to yoshua yeshua brought the jewish people into israel but he didn't have a son the gemara says he didn't have a child so he didn't his malhouse wasn't something that was miscalled and it didn't continue he was a mashiach finally they passed it to king david and is representing david he's the one whose son king salman indeed built the base he's the one who ultimately david the messiah from the house of david will indeed build the third base to make it to the third and final temple so david is somebody who is able to complete and he's the one who says birka samasan and he says and this is the point that i wanted to bring he brings he says this pasuk right when we say certainly on pesach night we do it but there's an idea to do it even not on facebook night we hold a cup of wine in our hand we hold this cup christ yeshua i will raise up that the cup of salvation right to whom does david hamel king david as we saw before in this measure to whom does he give the honor he gives it to hashem god is the one who gave salvation with shame hashem in the name of god i will call out so there's a case the kais is a cop he holds it up and as the marshall points out i believe it's the marshall maybe it's one of the other forces is the has the numerical value of 86. the name of god elokim which denotes god's judgment his justice is also elokim is 86 right is that correct crisis is 86 that's correct eloy kim the kim is 86. 37. you got to do the matria like um it could be off by one you're allowed same camacho why because first when we speak about the cup if it's kaiser's choice ultimately it comes to yud kevaki is the concept of god's mercy because the cup is filled we see god's judgment upon the world the cup is filled and hashem brings out his anger upon the nations of the world in bow any says hashem says if i would if i would bring about the justice early before the time is ripe before the harvest is ready before the cup is full so then they will be completely destroyed from the world right because if you harvest the grapes too early as we said before so then the they won't provide any sweetness nothing good will come of it and ultimately the point of the destruction of adam is not an utter destruction which which you know destroys all the people and leaves nothing of them but rather it's as as a as in a wine press where you take the grapes and you squeeze out the sweet the sweet juice and you discard the parts of it that are not that are not desirable so to it is ultimately akuleshwar who has to destroy the parts of ed on the parts of the nations of the world that are destructive and negative and antithetical to spirituality and hypothetical to god the atheistic elements the secular elements but ultimately what's squeezed out of it the justice comes when the truth is squeezed out when what's right and righteous is squeezed out and that can't be done early if it's done early then then then the wine will not be good it will be it won't be sweet it will be it will turn into vinegar god says i don't have the anger i withhold my anger unlike the nations the nations you know they let out their anger upon the jewish people throughout history they're angry they use their justice they shoot their justice our way unfairly unjustly he says i wait until the moment when it's ripe and then ultimately i destroy the evil altogether and what's left over is only good it's only good it's a powerful idea unbelievable idea the jewish people are given judgment why why are we given the right to judge honestly based on the torah's the torah's way and that's the first part of the majority because we take the judgment we take justice and we give it back to god and the kingdom itself by that's hell we find that often the judges are referred to as elohim right that they're referred to as we are we're supposed to bring our judgment to elohim to the judges why do we refer to it that way because hashem is the judge who is judging alongside the judges because when there's a proper judgment the way that the jewish people are instructed to judge is without bribery without shaykh without personal negis without personal biases but rather we judge we get the judgment back to god when we fulfill the commandments when we have power that's where we have the real power it's by fulfilling god's will we give it back to god if we have success we give it back to god if we have honor we give it back to god it all comes back to him why do we have his daughter king david king david is the ultimate one who is just like the moon he just reflects the light he gives it back to god like the moon reflects the light of the sun leslie garmail he has nothing of his own and the jewish people are like that as well and ultimately those who do not have that attribute the nations of the world adam who tries to take it to himself ultimately there is a judgment ultimately their power is removed and given back to the ones who give it back to hashem i want to bless you and ask you to bless me should help us to be able to have this proper understanding of what the mishpatim are what the gift is of the torah what the gift of the judgments are the gift of the law what this amazing gift is to us and hashem should give us the patience the patience that we need and we say we want to sing that song we want to sing the song of truth of justice of of ultimate justice we want to sing the song should give us the patience to be able to wait for it because we will see it i'm so sure that we will see it so soon speedily and in our days with the coming of meshiach thank you so much for listening have a wonderful shop miss this podcast was made possible through the gracious
