Sefer Daniel: Perek 2 - Nevuchadnetzar's Vision of the 4 Kings

this store class is brought to you by torahanytime.com so we learned how after nabucanes are exhausted all of his Sorcerers and magicians and necromancers we wanted to kill out all the cosme bubble where pan Daniel DaVinci Hashem there are some reveals to him the meaning of Nebuchadnezzar's dream and Daniel goes to Arias the chief executioner and he has to be taken to nebuchadnezza so that's what we're up to park-based Pasta Cafe a day in Italian means us then the chief executioner Arias with great bahola with quickness around she says Daniel Malay and then he says to him in other words aryok says to the king I found a man from among the Exiles of Judah of Yehuda the fish that the interpretation he will make known to the king in other words I got the guy but didn't uh him already from the kids that were in training that were supposed to serve it yeah you picked them out so why does he have to do this so right last week we set her from the auction um did not go to Danielle because even though Daniel was the wisest he didn't have experience in this area or this was something Supernatural and Daniel has only showed his uh prowess in intellectual feats then we also spoke at the plaza this was before the three years of training for Danielle were over but that's not the uh mainstream view okay there's a difficulty with it but um it could be that since Daniel was the obvious man for the job so if he didn't step forward obviously he couldn't help him okay and we questioned the adaption fine the king spoke up and said remember from Park Olive Daniel's name was Bill Johnson who gave him that name he said hell do you have the ability to make known to me Selma the dream di Haze that I saw Fisher in the interpretation which is the name that he gave to the Neo which kind of indicate that he actually knew who he was right because he knew that and he remembered the name he gave him he didn't go to him because his expertise wasn't in these kinds of misers yeah but the other one about that he was like a rookie he didn't have anything to do with him as well because of his name though shots that was the name he gave him immediately when he sensed or something with him but the Muslim says the fact that he's invoking that special name meant that you know he had some epic some hope that he could help him out okay So Daniel speaks up for the king and he says Rosa di Malco this secret that the King asks there are no wise men ashfin who remembers what's an ashfin astrologers yeah I got two men Necromancer necromancers gosrin demoners could interpret for the king in other words the album explains what Daniel is trying to tell is you really should not be killing out all the wise men of mother you know why this is above their pay scale this is not something they could possibly help you out with baram however there is someone who could help the universe there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets and he is making known heavy what will be accuracy in the end of days your your dream and the thoughts of your head on your bed is the following in other words with Daniel is saying to um is that this dream is not merely some type of Prophecy God is throwing into your head these because we know God only shows someone in a dream what they were thinking about during the day so because in his waking hours he was contemplating what will be after his demise because you were contemplating that eventuality God is revealing to you what you've been worrying about and Daniel's saying I am going to tell you what you've been thinking about he says Aunt Malco you King Ryan your thoughts on your bed have risen up look at Rashi Masha is that what you would think about during the day what will be after you has risen up onto your bed in other words what you've been worried about God has revealed to you what will be after you rosaya and he revealed the secret and he has let known to you what will it will be strong he's saying um what you're worried about one pound it's like several times seems to have repeated this it's the way it is we'll have to see let's see so now Daniel gives a little disclaimer and he says that I want you to know that the reason how the way that I'm able to make known to you what you've been dreaming about is not because of my personal wisdom he says and I not because of the wisdom that is with me from every living thing am I has this secret been revealed to me no it's I'm not any smarter than anyone else lahain rather the matter that the interpretation should be known to the king da and you should know what you've been thinking about in other words it is a coincidence I happen God happened to tell me not because I'm any smarter more intelligent than anyone else no God happened to pick me to be the one to relate to you no but not because of my personal wisdom okay so now Daniel is going to tell nevuchanets are what he's been dreaming of okay very fast in your seatbelts and you King Jose you saw now this is very important all right she's so quiet we're trying to concentrate and Malcolm you King now the malvin interprets this that you saw doesn't just mean you had a dream then but rather more than that listen to how the mountain explains it why is Daniel telling the king you King obviously he's a king knows who he is he knows he's the king what he means is Aunt Malco is the reason why you saw this information is because you are the most important person in the world you are the king and you saw this information because you're the king and the Malibu explains that as Danielle is telling over to the bujaneza what he saw is experiencing this Vision at that moment again so as Daniel's relating to him in his Mind's Eye is seeing that vision and it arose it went up Saleem Assad one image Sagi that is vast that is large this image now the ma this image that you're seeing now in other words not what you saw he's seeing it now at the moment this image wrath it is great ER it's light it's Eminence its Splendor is immense much much it's standing up opposite you ready the hill and its image it's toyar is awesome so basically what is a big monster an image that was tremendous it emanated Brilliance and Light its Splendor was great and it was off dreaded it was Dreadful it was fearful a dragon we'll see what it looks like what'd it look like listen to the subway saylma and we're gonna learn seeing is what is going to be after him and that is what the dalud Mathias the four kingdoms the four kingdoms are SOA in this one monster is this one monster alludes to all four kingdoms because the monster has four parts what about the actress we'll see this image its head was fine gold now in Aramaic the Zion and the cast could be interchangeable means the chest the breast right so the head was gold the breast and the Zara the arm the kasafa silver the belly and the top part of the thigh was copper he the leg the farzelle the pay and the base interchangeable or iron and the foot the foot part of it was iron part of it was Clay got it the image that Nebuchadnezzar saw was a monster it had a head of gold it had a chest and arms of silver it had a belly and the top of the thigh was copper and the leg was iron and the bottom of the feet was partially iron and partially earthenware Rabbi side what are the four kingdoms the first kingdom is the album the ones who destroyed the first place headed by himself the first Marcus's bubble the second office who took over the Babylonian Empire right Persian media were actually media and Persia first median then Persia so the Second Empire are Paras let's say right so the Persians took over from the Babylonians who took over from the Persians the Greeks okay and who are the fourth Empire simply put the fourth Empire according to the rambam according to the ramban according to most authorities according to the barbanel it's Rome I what happened to the Arab Empire Arabs they say it's part of heaven right we know the four Empires there are the Babylonians they're the Persians they're the Greeks and then there's Rome what about the Arabs but they're not enough Arabs they don't qualify there are only four recognized Empires what about the Arabs they don't have them they don't count now they don't have a land they don't have the land they don't belong anywhere they're part of other so the morale asks this question what about the Arabs what happened to the ABS so morale explains a very important concept and that is what does it mean to be a mouthless how do you you know to get an ID card to get an official ID I am an office what criteria do you have to meet so the morale says the definition of a mouthless is you're taking away from the glory of the Jewish people you are taking away from the glory of God you're diminishing hashem's Glory so when when baval destroyed the base hamiktas the Majesty of clausor was taken by bevel it was they they're successors the Persians they inherited the glory that the guyim took from us the Greeks inherited That Glory the Romans inherited That Glory but the Arabs do not inherit the glory of the Jewish people and God they have their own independent source of majesty and what is that that's FEMA of avraham avinu when Aaron prayed if only Ishmael can live before you from there you smell inherited their own independence source so the reason why they're not considered a Marcus is they do not take their maluha from Claud Israel right we know Allah what's going to happen we're going to take them back but says you saw they have their own independent source of maluka to say the reason why the Arabs are not considered their own maluka is because they are part of a different maluka which one would you say Babylonians Persians Greeks Romans Romans so that barbarinal says no the Arabs they just in a continuation of Christianity because of Christianity's influence that's how they came up on Islam that's how they came apart Islam considers them apostates infidels or Muslims Muslims both well the Arabs are not definitely not an Empire as a ethnicity but as a religion even though they want to destroy the Jews the fact that they want to destroy the Jews doesn't affect the glory avocado Sparkle they don't they haven't they haven't used serp dog Glory they have their own independence Source that's the first time the second answer of the is the following the Barbarian says they are just an offshoot of Christianity of Rome but the morale actually says an amazing thing and that is the Arab world is part of Persia the part of mouthless Paras why but they're a different ethnicity Samara says that being an Empire is not a matter of ethnicity it's a matter of behavior and the same way we find and show us that the main feature of Paras was to wage war you know the Romans made marketplaces and bath houses and bridges the Persians it says they conquered and they waged war that is the main feature of the Arab world and therefore they share that in common with Paras and they're further part of the Persian Empire that is the approach of um of the of of the morale the ramban just says very simply based on what we said earlier says that again how do you define an Empire someone who takes away their yarusha takes their power from the Jewish people so basically the Babylonians destroyed the Baseline in other words the definition of those enemies that have put us in tagalas so the Romans put us in tagalas the Persians succeeded them the Greeks succeeded them the Romans succeeded them but the Arabs never succeeded the Roman World there they developed independently of them they never succeeded their power they developed on the other side of the world their rise to power in no way exiled us we had already been cast into Exile from the Romans so therefore because as the ramban says we couldn't return because of the Ottomans control that could be Earth but says around ban we don't count the Chinese why don't we want the Chinese and Empire right they're not enough of them the Indians they're a billion of them the answer is because their existence did not affect the Exotic Jewish people in other words the Romans cat the Babylonians cast us into Exile and their successors continue that but we don't say conceptually the Arab world inherited the power of the Romans now I want to point out another very interesting thing excuse me saw this monster the head was gold which empire is represented by the head of gold which empire is represented by the arms of silver which empire is represented by the uh the copper uh the copper belly Matt excuse me the copper size and which empire is represented by the iron legs and why specifically they're not mentioned at all the feet are partially iron partially uh um earthing yeah those are the extreme According to some that's very interesting the last empire right the last empire which has iron legs so in the beginning it's only Rome and then Rome branches off into iron and iron and earthenware branches off until this government brings such a yeah I don't know right here but he says it in one place okay by the way I just want to point out one more thing that the Ebenezer argues with what we said earlier and the even as it feels that Rome is not the fourth Empire the fourth Empire is you smile and Rome is part of Greece Greece why because we know that one of the descendants of we know Rome is called the kitten and the kitten are the children of yavan right and voracious yeah some people refer to as the Greco-Roman Empire the Greco-Roman Empire so so the ebenezera feels that they're part of Greece and Rome is one and the fourth is ishma but I want to point out something very interesting so this morning in uh in the morale and the safer near Mitzvah on Hanukkah let's compare it to gold Persian media is compared to Silver Greece is compared to Copper Rome is compared to Iron why those four medals and also later on Daniel has a vision where he sees the four Empires represented by four animals father is represented by a lion para as a mother is represented by a beer Greece is represented by a leopard and Rome is represented by some you know ugly monster so why so the Romans by the Romans I read it why that were so strong it was up until that time they didn't have iron personally and the woman said the iron referee they made weapons on copper and Ben they're almost at steel and it didn't bend and that's why they were compliment for everyone right but the commercial iron is so strong even if it's a cultural even if it's a tiny bit yes it could kill even a little you know um even a paper clip because I think you're considered right so the mineral says like this the main feature of bovill was oh shivas they're feature was they were the most important Empire himself that he was the ruler the greatest one he is represented by which metal gold gold is obviously the most important valuable which animal is he represented by the lion the lion is Right king of the jungle king of the forest by the way the lion also had wings of a eagle why Eagle Eagle is the king of the birds so that's the feature of bubble bubble is repre Babel is distinguished in their hashivas and their importance how about the Persians what would you say the Persian uh distinguishing feature is the gemara says that Persians are compared to a beer why a beer because of all the animals the beer is the fattest fat animal the gamara says Persians they eat like a bear they sleep like a beer they have Kashmir shamita like a beer what are persons interested in food money women pleasure they're represented by which animal the beer the beer likes to eat the bear likes to sleep the beer likes to procreate of all the animals it's known for those three things and which metal is Persia compared to silver silver is money money show me the cash that's why in the megillah what is interested in three things eating women and collecting taxes he's a Persian everybody turned down ten thousand pounds well he accepted it from home right Billy I says do with the juices you want yeah but at the end you know he he's always he's extending tact the whole megillah he puts a end of the taxes he collects the taxes so what it was actually very interesting he's a beer he's a he's a a dive why he eats right at the beginning he has um he has a beauty contest and he collects money okay how about the Greeks what animal are the Greeks compared to and what metal the leopard what do we know in perky office about the leopard y what Canada is bald what's the what do we use copper to represent um a copper forehead what does copper four I mean Brazen right we say Ozona has a copperface she has no Majesty of all the umice which one is the most bold what do you need boldness for La made in order to learn Torah in order to acquire in order to cry wisdom you need to be bold you can't be shy you can't be embarrassed you have to pursue it at all costs that is why Greece of all the nations they were the nation most interested in oh come on of all the nations which nation wanted to translate the Torah Greece which nation wanted to be movato Greece why because you can only be jealous if you're in the same parasha a bear who's interested in eating and drinking a Persian he's not jealous does he have to retire on but says morale Greece who specialize in hathma right of all the languages the only language your latter translator into Greece Greece yeah after like Greece has a certain element of is uh recognized by the Torah so that's why they're compared to what the leopard philosopher right so that's why they compared to the leopard and to Copper how about Rome what's Rome's distinguishing creature right murderers they're murderers fake they murderers construction they murder they're right that's it that's all they are Asaf and Rome they're murderers they want to kill Jews Crusades Holocaust darzell darzel is that's what that which is used to kill so it's very uh it's amazing that the morale sees that it's not just four medals that you know gold silver copper I know each Meadow really uptouches really defines the characteristic of the four nations it's an axiom it's a principle in there teaching so of course you know what according to even answer that they're the fourth Malthus so you know the iron would also be appropriate for them foreign [Music] yeah let's um let's continue yeah okay let's see pasta ground and hey um or you see presently Adi his gazareth Evan that a stone is Yoon without hands okay in other words and now you see that a stone is being Union from cut out when you take out a stone from a mountain you view it view it do it h e w h e w it not WD atw you cut out a stone but the life you dying without hands in other words a stone was you in front of the mountain and it what do you mean without hands not to cut it out without it no he saw that it was being removed from the mountain but not hands no one was doing it um and it strikes the image alragilohi on the feet very interesting in other words you know when the four nations will come to an end but above Al not Paras not the end of the Roman Empire the feet the farzola which are of iron and will crush them in other words ultimately sees the destruction of the damage in at that point when the fourth Malthus is crushed daku h it is crushed all at once all the nothings parasula the iron crossbody Earth on the gold The Havana will be quiet like the chaff now she says commits like the chaff the four Machias will be like the chaff of the summer threshing floor in other words what happens to the chaff on the summer threshing floor the wind will carry it away without any remnants in other words one day no there will be no Vestige of memory of the Babylonians the Persians the Greeks and the Romans there are nine but the stone that struck down the image have asked latorav will turn into a great Mountain and fill the world beautiful then right look we've seen the fruition of 90 of it already right we've seen the we're just waiting for that final pasta climate hey and the interpretation Neymar we will say kadamaka before the king So Daniel says that's your vision now I'm going to tell you the interpretation Aunt malka you King the king of kings have interpreted that whenever it says it refers to a king of Adam except for this one he says you King he points then he turns to Hashem the King of Kings Shania which is the god of heavens a strong mouth the suck fine a mighty Mathis the Kara and honor yehovah he has given you that's the step one Daniel says God has given you tremendous power um and and wherever they're um their lives foreign in other words you have it on you you rule over men you rule over animals you rule over Birds you have to be duck it's all in your hands over all of it and two races you are the head of gold the head of gold that you saw in the vision that's the universe that's why there's no dispute about the first damage everyone agrees Daniel tells him exactly who he is up aramina period inferior to you now she says after you after you and those shots are your son will be an inferior maluka what means Korean lesser lower weaker inferior like everyone knows silver is inferior to gold and one's chest is lower down than their head in what way is silver for you to go because it's it's less precious best value well why is it less value even some people say if you invested in silver in the last few years ago but I mean it's more it's not as it's available it's less available it's more difficult to purify and in front of you from Tyler Memorial gold is always more valuable how many years old we'll make our toilet some gold the body will make up to shame that metal that through ages people slow their blood for this shiny metal ah you have to come too no yeah interesting okay and it says um which is copper halara that will rule over the whole world will be Mighty like iron called kavel just like they didn't have iron at that time but what do they know about iron just like iron crushes this whole shell and shatters classroom means like you could use iron to flatten any metal right you could um be Mirage in Hebrew that you could use iron to flatten into trays even gold kailai could flan everything and like iron Di that destroys everything that renders everything nothing the fourth malphus frightening nafua the fourth Malthus will shatter and Crush ER and now what you saw and the toes or the fingers part of it was the the earthenware of the craftsmith of the yotzer right so what's gonna happen um [Music] even the weak part will be strong because of what you saw parzilla the iron Tina Rashi says whatever you've seen is iron mixed with the cement clay okay we'll try to explain that more okay you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you byctoranytime.com
