okay recording in progress uh good morning or good afternoon to everybody wherever you wherever you are once again as always a huge Yasha uh to the U for set for setting up these she or me for all the wonderful things that they do in in in so many so many different ways um today's Shear is is let let me give you the details the today's Shear which which we I titled you know if Hashem is so good why why do things look so bad is not dealing with the question of Sonic verado we are not dealing with the question of why do seemingly wonderful good people have bad lives that seemingly should make no sense right and Why do wicked evil people seem to have wonderful lives if God is just that makes no sense we that's not our question that's a h that's not a 20 minute share that's a huge long a long discussion we have a a different question okay and I want to explain very clearly what our question is g to be right so that no one's confus and and say well we're answering what one question watch here's what we believe mainstream tah believes the following we believe that Pao his actions poel his work his T it's unblemished there's no blemish everything he does is completely pure and complete and unblemished why well his whole path is Justice all he does is justice so if everything he does just then clearly everything he does in this world is is unblemished and then the puzz seems to repeat itself again let he's a God who is has faithfulness doesn't doesn't fall asleep with the wheel that doesn't doesn't take bribes right a of there's no Injustice which makes sense because we just said there's no Injustice great no Injustice seems to be repetitious which if this was aish class you could say fine it's she it's allowed to be repetition right the famous mush given by the to explain the power of the P his famous mush is the courts here on Earth at Joe robs the bank there's Witnesses he's caught everybody knows in that town you rob the bank you go you go to jail for three years that's the rule That's the Law rob the bank there's Witnesses sure gets up you know open and shut watch theil you go to jail for three years that's Justice that's pure Justice go rob the bank you knew what the law was the law was clear there's witnesses there no doubt that he did it no reason worldwi should not go to jail for three years but there's other people that are now going to suffer his 90-year-old mother who's in an old age home that nobody's going to visit she didn't rob a bank right his kids who aren't I don't know aren't going to go to summer camp or embarrassed to walk into school that they didn't rob a bank right his wife didn't rob a b they go to the judge and say heyit Joe okay Joe's in jail but like but NE his 90-year-old mother what did she suffer for that not right right his wife is not right kid what will the judge say that's s cookie crumbles nothing I can do about it I me it's just the way it is bad luck you know what I mean life Stakes the way it goes Kar who is not like that the judge did he makes on every individual is Tom Pao the first half of the Tom Pao called Joe y who I knowled whatever whatever got gives him he deserves it he deserves it but we don't understand but he deserves it how about all the other side people oh that's also taken into account there's no innocent bystanders heluna a of there's no Injustice everything was calculated and calibrated the entire ripple effect of what happens to yose his cousins his Kusa his business Partners his friends the guy that sits next to him in his 90-year-old mother his a great aunt who was somewhere else but saw it you know and on some WhatsApp chat and is now they all that's all the second cousin wants to be moved who shares the same last name and people are making fun of him yeah yeah yeah that that's all it's it's not there's no that's the way the cookie crumbles tough luck nothing you can do about it it's you know you know luck of the draw no no no no no no no what he does is emblish to that individual Ripple effects that come out to that individual are also taken those calibrated heluna doesn't fall asleep at the wheel he didn't like missed the boat it didn't like oops oh well well what I'm supposed to tell you a there's no Injustice no no no no no Injustice not to the cousin not to the third cousin wants to move not to his former roommate Gish that's what we believe I we can't make sense of it it's a different class that's not the question I'm asking I'm asking the following question so that's true because bergo has a precise and brilliant plan and everything is calibrated and calculated so sadik the yashar there's a there's no Injustice and certainly in the created world we see Brilliance and forethought and planning and every genome and every molecule and every protein unbelievable wisdom and forethought absolutely the miraculous survival of the Jewish people pelic unbelievable Indescribable nonsensical gotic but if there really Justice on every single solitary individual because B really take into account not only what happens to of the you y in road but but but you know sprin of Schwarz in in and Kazo Michigan who's in pain because of what you read about that happened to Y fin they wrote right yet thought of her too he knew all the ri effect he was gonna be a spr k through Michigan there's gonna be his kid and his uncle his cousin second cousin must be moved it's all it was all calculated and it's all brilliantly planned out and it's all Justice and it's all fine tuned absolutely if that's true why doesn't it look that way the PK goes out of its way to be extraordinarily repetitious to drive home the point that a kber is tuming unblemished sadic he's righteous a of there that one iota of Injustice anywhere in the entire SCH so how can it look so ridiculous it looks ridiculous if whacko completely not we're not eating we're not we see the Brilliance of the created world we we we we can you know microscopes and things and then we see the The Unbelievable the planets the forces in nature we see where we stand in all more science we learn we're in awe we're not dumb so why can't we just look and see and if it's so sensical why does it look so nonsensical that's the question why does it look so nonsensical why does it look so impossible to understand why does it look like that if it's really so put together why does it look so crazy that's precisely the question and remember we said last class all this crazy stuff going on we're not happy we're crying you be know he was crying he was sad he had a vision of being burnt to the ground but he was otherwise he could have had a word b rearranges MAA we use our maaba we believe that everything is calculated and calibrated by K and it's all the best so we serve our sh by saying it's all we believe does all for the best there's a plan it's all gonna make sense and it's it's all makes sense it's all good idea and this is best thing absolutely the best thing so if it's absolutely the best thing we believe it's the best thing and we're using our M we said okay I'm not going by my emotions 100% I'm going by whatever does the best there's a plan here and I look at what's going on why can't I see a plan why can't I see a semblance of plan why can't I see like I don't get it all these people are we don't need to go through all the horrors that if this is not just one little thing okay so someday we'll understand this is like just a complete mishmash V and yet we believe it's absolutely calibrated to the every single solitary get anywhere on the planet it's something been taken into account what's going on so if it's so calibrated and calculated and amazing why does it look so completely like random and ridiculous that's our question de the answer is not mine my friends the answer is a mush I originally Heard It In The Name Of RV hutner I and I was always quoting it in the name of R hutner but then I did F I don't remember how I discovered this but but somehow somewhere in in in in the course of my uh the the the travels I discovered that the truth is the following musall was actually stated said by re vas re Vasan if you remember was in America as World War II broke out right and everyone pleaded with him stay in America like it's it's going down the tubes there and he said no I go with my flock I have to go back to Mya and he got on a boat and they all watched him believe and they nobody thought they'd ever see him again and unfortunately we did not right this was his last Shmo right which was remembered by people who did escape the the Holocaust and managed to somehow get out right this is his last Mose as the Nazis were closing in and it was crystal clear that alera most people are are are are not are not GNA get out and this was his mush he gave we'll Jazz it up a little bit of course but this is his mushro got to use your imagination it's a mush you got a guy he grows up in a city he lives in a condominium top floor 20th floor of the condominium his school all the school that he goes to is a building right next door he does a little shopping in a supermarket on the other side of the building and he grows up and he never leaves that City he all he's ever seen in his whole life it's the university building and his condominium and he works from home and a supermarket where he goes shopping that's all he know he doesn't know nothing doesn't know anything else that's what he does all day every morning he goes into the supermarket and he buys himself a bagel because he loves Bagels there a bagel every morning for breakfast and one day he says you know what I gotta get out of here man like there's a big world out there I wonder what's on like I never drove out of the city I wonder what's going on out there he gets to this car and he drives out and he wow got trees there flowers there grass it's amazing and he's driving around and he stabs a beautiful piece of land he said wow this is gorgeous nice beautiful P we can build a I we can build a cond I can build a shopping centerbody do with this and he see there's a guy driving out onto this piece of land with the funniest looking machine he's ever seen in his life and he's looking at him and it's the weirdest thing it got all these like knives or something and he's driving up and down and he's like ripping up the land and he says what a lunatic what's he doing that for look got go back over go and he the guy turned his piece of land into mud what a terrible guy why would he why would you do that such a nice piece of land why would anybody turn a piece of land into mud okay guy's little nuts I don't know and he sees the guy get off and he's walking around he has a bowl with something and he's wrapping stuff into the mud and he said what's that guy doing and he walks over and he sticks his hand to the bowl and he picks up these funny looking things he tastes it and he says you know this is food I mean it's not very tasty but you could like eat this why would you put food in mud he decided this guy's a very evil person he's just an evil person he takes a beautiful piece of land it looks so pretty and he rips it up and he throws food into mud and the guy he's just a bad guy bad bad people in this world he's like I'm a sicko bad guy but decides to wait around and we're using our mans she waits around to see what's going to happen unbelievable beautiful tall brown and white flowers he never saw flowers like that in his Supermarket he seen roses and and and tulips but he never saw these kind of things but it's really very pretty it's like brown white golden and he said ah I got it I'm so stupid he's not a big guy grinding up land he he and he's not even a worser guy for throwing away food he he he grows pretty flowers I guess that's how you I don't know you grow flowers I don't know I guess that's how you do it and he's growing flowers he's a good guy he's not a bad guy he's a good guy what a wonderful fell he grows pretty flowers and he sticks around he sees the guy's coming with a big machine he's cutting them down he said oh wonder why he's C cutting them down oh he's uh probably taking them to uh to people in an old age home he's probably going to you know go his people in the hospital and then put flowers in in the v that's probably what he's gonna do and he's waiting to see him gather the flowers and he gathers up these pretty brown looking things and he has this horrible looking machine and he's grinding it into a useless powder what this is a sicko that's thick this is thck you spend all that time growing pretty flowers to do what to destroy them you e nuts this this is just evil like okay because don't do anything don't grow flowers that don't destroy them like who ask G to grow the flowers but you grow pry flowers and then you gr them up into a useless powder right same as surgery right crazy what a m and he's I gotta get out of here this guy kill people he's a crazy guy and he sticks around a little longer and he sees the guy's taking the powder and he's like pour water in it put junking in mixing around he said what's he doing what's he doing and he walks over and he sees his goop GP in this bowl I mean sticks his hand in oh pretty good what do you call this stuff call it dough man oh do and then he says I got it I can go home now I got it I got it I didn't understand anything I'm stupid he's smart first I thought he was a bad guy because he was ruining a piece of land then I said no no no he's a good guy he grows pretty flowers then I said no no no no no no no he's a bad guy because he destroys flowers I was wrong all the way wrong he wasn't bad for destroying land and he wasn't even good for growing flowers he's making dough the whole thing was to make dough I everything I saw I misread and misunderstood this is a good guy and he's making dough and I'm going to go home now because I know everything makes sense and this is great he gets into his car and he looks out the window and he sees the guy who taken this though and rolling it into a ball see looks out the window and the guy opens up some big closet looking thing and there's a fire in there and the guy rolls up that ball of dough and throws it into the fire and slaps the door shut and he said what happened what just happened what just happened think the guy just fell off his rocker not now zero makes sense you grow pretty flowers and Destroy them because you're some kind of a a deranged lunatic but but you grow flowers to make powder to make food bre it into a yummy roll thing and then you burn it to a crisp this is more evil than Humanity can even imagine this guy is just the essence of Destruction for destruction's sake and he's about to run away and get the heck out of here where the door opens to that closet and out comes a bagel a bagel I love bagel I Bagel every day for breakfast that's so cool says who are you man and he saids well I'm a farmer and I'm a b and that's how you make B what were you thinking he said that's how you make bagels what'd you think I don't know you go to supermarket and bagel how don't you make bagels and then he realizes he misunderstood the whole thing what he thought was good was not good what he thought was bad was certainly not bad every step of the way he misread the process and he misread what was going on and he had no idea what the heck he was talking about so when he was happy he was happy for the wrong thing oh pretty flowers that's a pretty you're an idiot no pretty flowers stick around long enough you're an idiot oh ter is destroying shut up buing about man stick around till the end B that's well how was I supposed to know that this use what is the useless powder have to do with the bagel like how the heck is anybody supposed to know that this like white powder is Bagel like I supposed to know that like does look like Bagels how was I supposed to Bagels that's a good point you would have no idea in the planet unless you ever Bak bread that's us my friends that's us my friends see if you know the process so we don't need to wait to see the bigle comes out we're standing next to this guy said what is your what are you doing he's planting he's plowing he's threshing like what is you what are you getting all worked up about but it's ter terrible fire then we how slow out like what is your problem and he's looking at us and say you guys AR getting like you you see what's going on this is terrible we got to do something and we're looking at and say what is the problem with like what do you know just relax Bud Bagel trust me it's Bagel because we know I know the process I know what I'm looking at but we don't know the process we we we don't know how God will reach the end of the 6,000 year process we have no idea we don't know great cabalists possibly do 100% but on us little people and once you see the bagel come out of the oven you see the bagel come out of the oven Bagel come out of the oven Bagel would have thought that was so cool man I who would have thought I that that's amazing wow how'd you do that that was so smart you you're smart when the bagel comes out of the oven but until the bagel comes out of the oven it it's it's impossible to connect grinding up what looks like pretty flowers to a yummy Bagel like there's no way you would you would ever make such a connection unless you Happ to know the process but we don't know the process and the bagel hasn't come out of the oven yet state of Israel Jew the Jewish people you know prophet are being fulfilled I don't know what you think when you see about all the demonstrations around the world that say gas the Jews and he the guy in the lon underground announcing the thing right know palestin that would you know this is great and the Hamas Martyrs you know Europe all by it I'm thrilled by it barem getting closer to the end of days exactly what was predicted less than 1% of the world population a small little country why are people demonstrating all all over the world thousands more people get killed all the time in all sorts of third world countries and nobody even knows countries they can't they can't even pronounce their names but all the do the whole world's obsessed with what's going on here little AR Israel because we're thear they intuitively sort of know it but they don't understand what they know and when the bagel comes out of the oven the theyel come out of the oven and and that's what we're preparing for absolutely right I I'm not pro anti-Semitism right I don't want anybody in London to get hurt or anybody anywhere in the world God forbid and we have to fight itas protest politicians police but when you just see what's happening in the world it's like was predicted that that's that's a little bit of the process we do know don't know how why it has to be that way but that's the plan man right M mashia Comes The Bagel comes out of the oven so sometimes we see it we read the books you know not from s y gold read then you read all these Amazing Stories and individual situations and sometimes we see it and you read a story and you know it's a whole 20e Saga and at the end and everything makes sense and it's all brilliant and you're impressed and you're inspired when you finish reading the book so bur opens our eyes to certain incidents on a global scale of the Jewish people it no we we don't see it yet we certainly don't see it right yes we look at the human body and we see Brilliance in planning we look at what's going on to see the how it all is all calibrated calculated Tom it's it's we just close our eyes and we believe because that's what we have to believe and it's not all that hard because the miraculous survival of Jewish people were clearly the obar you know if you're going to use your brains you wouldn't predict that we'd be here today at all in a Jewish country fighting a war what a prime minister that Benyamin few years ago benam were going up and smoke you know what I mean so that that that don't make no sense either folks so like we don't make any sense no matter how you slice it we just have a mo be talk that there's a plan that's why it makes sense that it's nonsensical to us there's no reason why it should make sense because we are that guy from the city watching things which if you don't know the process it it doesn't make sense and until you see the bagel coming out of the oven you would never guess in a bazillion years that it makes sense but when it's over it'll be like oh B that that was so F God like that's what we believe will happen What do we do until then how do people make weddings when you watch the clips of these f in around the you know what I mean doesn't it strike you with like how the heck did they do that are they delusional are they like smoking something are they just in denial that like you know tomorrow they're going to be who knows where under what kind of thing they're just dancing because they're they're drugged up how do we go to this oh so for that we need D we return to D in times of Sor because he had life and he's the one who gives us a of how to deal with things and at least for bagel came out of the oven bash right but while it was going on things look pretty crazy for says like this and we say it in our DAV I have faith I trust in your My Heart Will Rejoice I will sing out to because he's done good for me say as I explained in my S what do you mean he didn't see I trust in your noav was saying said this when he didn't see he saw Darkness he saw Glo he saw father trying to kill him he saw son trying to kill him he saw running away from home he saw disaster and complete chaos even though my life is dark I I that this is I don't see this don't look like said to me but everything I does is good how sure am I that this is said it don't look like that I'm so sure that your girl leby My Heart Will Rejoice be Yeshua when the Yeshua comes when my salvation comes I'll Rejoice there's gonna be a Salvation and when that salvation comes I'm gonna look back and I'm gonna say wow that wased I'm so I'm positive that when that happens I'm gonna sing because I believe it's I see it but I'm sure that when it all comes out to an end when the Yeshua comes I'm G to be singing about this time in my life because it's going to be great well if that's true if you really really believe that when the Yeshua comes you look back and see this ASP and you'll sing then well then what do you do now well then I might sing now I'm going to sing to hasem alive because I know that all he does is good he did this is good I just said that when Yeshua comes I'm gonna s look back and be good if I believe that when mhia comes I look back and feel this is good so it is good so if it is good why aren't I singing now so I'm gonna sing now I have faith that this is I don't see it but I I be y g come and it's all gonna make sense absolutely yesu is going to come I believe it'll all make sense how I have no idea but what do I know but they will come out of the oven and and it'll all make sense so now so if that's true but I might as well sing now's done to me because I believe that ex very difficult but the Jewish people have the ability to do that the Jewish people ability to make a and then just at the end of for all the darkness and then go back out to war and then Friday night is quiet and sing and then two hours later getting your jeeps and you know shoot rockets and uh and you know that some of your made up sing next week and next week you single again because we believe it's difficult belief but that's what we believe why can't we see it CU we're that farmer guy we don't know the process we haven't seen the bagel why why do you think you should be like why do you think you should be able to understand of course we can't understand that's the power of That's The Power of the end of days right what happened in GIS MZ R always remember folks GIS R is a paradigm for all future Exiles and redemptions okay people go let's go go right here power saids yeah watch this Bud let's make the work harder even Mo B to struggle with that I Looney since you said me he it's only gotten worse you'll see it's gonna be red relax always gets worse before it gets better darkest before Dawn everybody bases it final GAA we'll have the same thing just like Mr R we'll have a somewhat of redemption it seems to be okay we're on our way out Kabam and all sudden gets worse take a deep breath and then we're gone that's what we believe and when the Redemption does come we'll look back and say that was so smart you won't even remember you won't even remember what your questions were when Mia finally comes to we should all be for that soon as absolutely possible everybody should stay safe all the this Li should be a for everybody that needs a and everybody needs to come home and everybody that needs to stay safe have a wonderful day
