Tonight, by 8:00 p.m., President Donald Trump has given an ultimatum to Iran. Either strike a deal or the infrastructure, the power plants, the electricity, it's all at risk. The president says this could be the most consequential day in world history. What will happen in the next hours before 8:00 p.m.? Does anybody know? It is very important to pay attention. At the end of the first of the Shema, we offer our eight praises. We say who it is God alone. Who creates mighty acts, does new things. He's the owner of war. What does it mean that the almighty is the owner of war? The other praises we talk about action verbs. We talk about what does. What does it mean he's the owner of war? Ownership means as follows. Ownership means he's the only one who decides what the factors are if war will take place. In other words, historians, sociologists, politicians, they may be able to identify various streams or various motivations whether the war will happen or not. But when we say is that means he is the sole arbiter in determining determining what the factors are of whether it will take place or not. And what are the factors? Because superficially, war always has disastrous consequences. So the written by the Torah articulates If God is the owner, so what are his considerations? His considerations are that even though it looks like there are disastrous consequences, it is ultimately to plant righteousness. To cause salvation to grow, to proliferate. Ultimately to create healing if the there are those who are injured. These are the only factors that uses to to determine whether it will take place or it won't take place. And all of these factors always are to bring to one end goal. The [snorts] Torah says the Torah in the Torah that if you that if you see two nations antagonistic to each other, search for the search for the footsteps of the redemption. Hashem's consideration as the as the owner of war is only to be and and and to bring us to the great day of our I'll see you in the all right. On the seventh day of Hashem originally opened up a great opening of salvation for the Jewish people and therefore on this day that doorway is always open to be and ultimately to be as we should see only the one to laugh. And we should hear only good news to laugh.
