Purim & Ki Sisa - Explosive Redemption

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with hm's never ending assistance in is 5785 2025 this week's par Paras Kisa and of course Friday in everywhere besides J is PM and shabas Sunday is also PM in y so I'd like to share with you a thought that connects our paraa connects the concept of the the the fall of am Isel the destruction of the the throwing down M threw down the the the Ten Commandments the two tablets I'd like to show you how that connects to pm and there's a very deep lesson here and we're going to see an amazing medish m in Esther also a piece in in the m and the messages for us today and it talks about Redemption Esther the story of Esther immediately preceded the building of the B MDES it was her son dares who allowed the Jewish people to build the B MDES ultimately complete it and there was a tremendous light that came into the world through PM through the story and it connects to the great light that was meant to come down did eventually come down it took another 120 days for it to come down properly but the light that was supposed to come down with the giving of the there's a parallel and this parallel is expressed in the me it's in par and it's in section it's on the p in the fourth chapter of Esther fifth so Esther finds out that morai is wearing sackcloth and he's fasting she doesn't know what's going on so she sends a message she wants to know what is this what is this about so this language is interesting what's this what's this what's this about so the says that Esther sent her messenger H to speak to to find out what did she want to know there's never been a time where the entire Jewish people was threatened with Annihilation this was very unusual sorry right it's very unusual that the Jewish people should be threatened with Anni Annihilation we're only familiar with this type of situation cuz we live so so soon after the Holocaust but until this time I mean saying the destruction of the entire Jewish people was not even didn't enter the minds of our enemies perhaps they wanted to fight with us perhaps they wanted to conquer us perhaps they wanted to make us into slaves but never never this type of complete destruction so she said what's this about Ma so there was a hint in the question in the language of the question to something else we find two different places that the points out where it says the word which means this one place where we see it is where CL Israel had the intense revelation of as they walked through the the yamu as they experienced the splitting of the sea so they said Z K van they saw Hashem as it were they experienced an open revelation of hasem they said this is my God and I will glorify him so she wanted to know perhaps am was denying Hashem perhaps they no longer could see Hashem and therefore they were doing things of they were they were not fulfilling the T properly they were not learning the T properly as we'll see she was afraid that perhaps this decree had come because they had denied theas that that which it says in the luas of course the first commandment is that I am AEM your God but really the entire tells us about the that that they were written right that's our that's our para they were written on both sides you could see the the the letters went through miraculously from one side to the other and you could read even on even though it should be a mirror image it wasn't as our sages tell us but the bottom line is that when she uses the words what's this about what's this about she says the word this this it's referring to the fact that perhaps this is because they didn't recognize Hashem who they had said this is my God perhaps it's because of the fact that they didn't learn the T they didn't keep the T which which it says about it that it's written on this side and this side so it's very interesting so we have inside of the story and the point and the point of amel's being decreed upon meaning they've done something wrong she's saying it's must be connected all the way back to something that has to do with their lack of faith in which really is what happened with the with the agel right as he's coming down and as we'll see it's an amazing thing Hashem is giving M raenu the he's giving him the the tablets and as he's doing that am is sinning with the golden calf at the very same moment it's very interesting to try to understand and contemplate why is that happening at the same exact moment but the idea is that am Israel when we sin and we're we are heaven forbid we've done wrong and heaven forbid there's a decree upon us it's going to be related to this it's going to be related to the fact that we're not properly in relationship with Hashem we don't recognize that God is our King This Is Our God and we should glorify him we're missing that and we also mess up in regards to our relationship with the T our relationship to the to the to the tbls which represent hashem's will for us so let's see so that's the the first piece in the Mish but I'd like to share with you the continuation of the and listen up here this is very interesting and you're going to hear something that really sounds like what's going on today but the men understands it of course to be talking about what happened in the times of Mor and hamon mor and Esther let's see this together so morai in response to Esther's question she asked what's this all about what's going on so morai responds and sends her back a message about all that happened to him K so this is this language is very interesting K what is this language all that happened right there's no happen stance in the world so so part of the message was that he was saying to to go back and tell the message to Esther that the word Karo means all that happened who's the one that talks about happened in whose context do we find the word happened so it's the great great great grandfather of hon the says that the people of amik from whom ham descended they were people who happened upon am Israel they happened to bump into us and attack us as we were about to get the Tyra amazing thing as we're about to get the Tyra they come and attack us as the revelation of is unfolding and manifesting we went out of Egypt we're on our way to receive hashem's will at har in comes amik to try to destroy us and where do they come they come in the moment of as the M explained the Rian there's a weakness in Tyra when we are weak in our relationship with Hashem when we don't have the proper dedication to learning when we don't have the proper dedication to making sure we're doing hashem's will which is expressed in the T that's what lets in aik that's what let in in other words was saying yes it's true Isel is being attacked is being open to attack by because of the fact just like in the time of the mid is was on their way to receive the T they weakened their relationship they already had some Commandments to learn they already had they already had some uh Torah precepts that were taught at Mara and when they were about to leave Egypt they weakened themselves from that and that opened the door for amik to be able to come in but now the says something even more interesting say to men another idea which is also related what does it mean he told him all that happened to him it means that he told he sent a message to Esther that had to do with a dream that he had had long before when Esther was still living in his house so Mor had had a dream and in that dream there was a there was a revelation about some future event and again we're going to see that it sounds like what's going on today but it's something that ripples through the time through time what's the dream it was in the second year of King's rule so this is I believe before Esther was taken to the Palace he saw in his dream he so there was an incredible noise powerful infusion on the earth and fear existential fear for all those who live in the world there were two great serpents is referring the serpent is always the force of evil right two great serpents these two great serpents were coming at each other prepared for war and everyone is screaming all the nations of the world are screaming what's going to happen there's an incredible War that's about to to commence in the middle between those two great serpents between those two great forces of evil there was a little Nation obviously that's and all the nations of the world came and they they were they wanted to destroy that one little Nation on that day there was great darkness in the world and what was the result the result was that there was tremendous pain for that small nation and they called out to God this is all in Mor's dream turn back to the other uh scene you have the two serpents that are cruy fighting each other there's anger and there's nothing to separate between them what does he see in his dream we're going to see how this applies to p and you can hear very clearly how it might apply to our times but saw a small spring of water passes between these two great serpents and it separates between them the war that they were in the middle of [Music] fighting so the wars that have been going on they start to seem that they're going to stop and this water gets stronger it becomes a flowing river and this water spreads and gets larger and and engulfs the entire [Music] world this is all's dream and so in his dream he sees the sun is shining the water that separates between the war the Waring factions so it comes and The Sun Shines on the entire world and then the small nation which is obviously Amel is raised up and those who think they're so high are lowered you and there is peace and Truth in all of the land peace and Justice so so Mor saw this dream and he knew that something's about to happen he knew it's a Redemptive dream this is a talk this is talk of Messiah right obviously the dream is is there's going to be some kind of powerful um serpents some kind of powerful uh two great forces going against each other so we can think about how that applies today I'm not going to really get into that but the M explained that Mor understood when hamon came up against him a when hamon who is from the seed of Karu he's from amalik he's coming up he's facing off with Mori so there's a sense that this is it this is the this is the dream uh Mori is one serpent hamon is the other serpent they're coming against each other to fight each other and am Isel is in the middle because H wants to destroy all of am Isel as a result of what M did and morai understood that this is the dream and that if we I'm saying now what's water water is Tyra if we can hold on to the Tyra the Tyra will come in and it will flow between these two great serpant and it will end their war and ultimately that one nation will be raised stop that's am Israel and the nations of the world who wish to destroy am Isel they'll be destroyed I want to just read the very end of it there's only three lines left when he had the dream he didn't he didn't allow that dream to go out of his mind he always remembered it and when ham was uh interacting with Mori in in in this in this uh difficult way so he sends the message to Esther remember that dream that I had when you were young this is it's happening you have to get up and and pray in front of hem so the me understands that the water that's going to come and separate is going to be Esther herself but as theim explained the issue here had to with had weakened themselves from T just like it was as we were on our way to get to to get to our and amik comes in we weakened ourselves in t so too it was then and that allowed amik to come in and and to try to destroy am is but ultimately as we strengthen ourselves in T and Esther requests that we fast which means we are coming back into a relationship with a so then that's the powerful way that we are able to destroy our enemies that's what gives strength to our to our Air Force that's what gives strength to our soldiers now I want to bring you back to to back to par Kisa I want to read to you something amazing and Powerful that of course ties into what we're saying and it has to do with the it has to do with the fact that moshu was being given theas at the very moment that was sinning with the golden calf with thek says M brings the gave toosha the and he was about to bring him down he tells him watch out got to go down there has sinned and then he says uh and then he and then he goes down he breaks the destroys the sinning but the says m I believe that this PK is in the same location as that you gave me a shield of Salvation yeah and I'm sorry I missed part of the your right hand holds me up says the me that's referring to the T the t is that which gives us strength helps us and protects us against our enemies helps us and protects us against anything that could cause us damage and in the same P it says that God's Great humility makes us even greater gives us abundance so the M first has one shot in that it's talking about himself God's Great an but what's how does it manifest Ben says come and see the incredible humility that God has a human being you know this a little funny here you have a king a human King so if his subjects are faithful to him he does whatever they want he takes care of them he has a welfare system he takes care of his people he makes sure that the the food is flowing in for them whatever they need he takes care of them he makes sure everything is taken care of he has a proper Army to protect them everything is good let's say they rebel against their King he doesn't deal with them for anything in the world he stops all of the things that he was doing on behalf of his Nation if they Rebel why because they rebelled against his kingship says the amazing thing is not like that even as we're s sinning in the same moment at the moment that we're getting ready to worship the golden calf Hashem is giving the he's giving him the the the tablets which have the whole T written on them meaning he's giving them you know the the Cure as they're in the middle of the sickness I rebelling against God but Hashem is a king and he's not a king like a human King he still loves them and he still wants to give them everything that they need all life do you ever find a greater humility in a king hem is our King and hem as he's as is sinning against them hm is preparing the way for them to reconnect to him hm is preparing the way for them to be able to have a relationship with him and if we think about it first of all it's an amazing thing we are doing the worst things against him still loves usem still wants a relationship with us Hashem has it ready for us but at the same time the troubles are on the way the troubles are coming right MOS comes down he breaks the L which which is means I you have no relationship with hashem's is in trouble there's AA 3,000 people die he has to go back up for 40 days another 40 days until he finally procures atonement for is but in that moment who loves us and and sometimes that love manifests as danger for am is why because we broke our relationship with him the broke as the me explains because the the letters flew off the only thing that was holding it up it's like a human being a person there's something called Dead weight when a human being is alive so the soul that's inside of it makes the person light and then when a person is dead it's the person is more heavy the also they had a they had a soul they had the letters they had the soul imbued into them and when Isel sinned that soul went out and the the L became heavy and mosha dropped them and that's when is sees that they're they're broken they're as broken as the lus and when Israel is in this story with Mor and they're they're distant Fromm they broke theas they didn't they weren't learning T they weren't in that relationship they forgot has to recognizes it there's a problem here they forgot the the relationship with h they forgot the T but that opens up the ability for our enemies to to damage us and think about what happened just now when we have a lack of unity when we're sinning when we're out of relationship with hem it opens us up for them to come in amik comes in and and he attacks the weak ones amongst us but then what happens is Amel does Chua Amel steps up am we dedicates itself naturally it's an unbelievable thing naturally we rededicate ourselves to to to our relationship with hem to this is my God I recognize the Miracles hm has done for us throughout this incredible incredibly long war hashm is doing miracles for us all the time protecting us taking care of us and we're recognizing that we're doing chuva and the hostages are returning and they're doing chuva they're coming back they chose the path of of faith and that water comes between Israel and between our enemies amik amiki people of today and that water comes and it brings a certain peace into the world and those who wish our destruction they are destroyed in Amel is raised up and just like it was in those times just like ultimately it was after the sin of of the agel of the golden calf I so was raised up commanded to to build a mishkon so too it's going to be in our times so we're going to see an incredible revelation of with a hopefully very soon I want to bless you and ask you to bless me hasm should help us to see the pattern to learn from the story to recognize in ourselves that sometimes we also have this in our personal lives in our personal relationship with hem should help us to get back to the to to get back to the L to bring that that broken heart that broken the broken L bring those pieces back together should help us that we should do this personally and nationally should help us to see the ultimate Redemption speedily and in our days thank you so much for listening have a wonderful porm and a wonderful shamas this
