Hi, this is David Alowski with our
special feature, our question and answer
shorts.
Yehuda Zimberg, longtime listener and
contributor. Why was it that the Dorham
and Ninve were given chances warning to
do Chuva but Stone was not given the
same opportunity?
First of all, to say that Stone wasn't
given an opportunity is not completely
fair because Lo was there and Lo was
trying to influence them as you see from
the fact that in spite of the fact that
it was considered a capital crime to do
he was doing anyway.
Um when they were miraculously saved by
Arau
miraculously
and Araino said you guys are so bad I
wouldn't take a shoelace from you people
cuz you're so bad there was definitely a
warning there.
Eleazar went to visit them and Medish
describes there were warnings there.
They understood
that their philosophy was not acceptable
in the eyes of Hashem. And so they were
given certain warnings. But I would say
that the warnings that were given to
stone and to the door hamble which are
very similar. There's a lot of
comparisons between the door and stone.
And that's why when Avi Hashem says,
"I'm going to destroy you and your
people." He says, "This is what you do.
You destroyed people for no reason.
Destroyed the door of Mabble. You
destroyed stone. Yeah, that there was
this sort of relationship between the
two. There are comparisons made between
Noah and Lo. There there are a lot of
different parallels between those two
stories because Noah was not uh
preaching didn't get up on a pedestal.
He built the TVA for 120 years. And when
they asked, you know, why you doing
this? He says because Hashem's going to
bring a marble and destroy the world and
it was it wasn't a active.
It was a passive
and but it wasn't like they didn't know
you know if you work out the years Noah
knew and Shul knew Adam. So it was very
easy for them to find the truth if they
wanted to. So they didn't get there.
None of these people got the direct
prophet comes to town, walks through the
city, stands up on a rock and gives them
that muser.
Start spreading the news.
You've got 40 days
before we blow the heck from you. Nin
vain. Nay.
Live your ways. You don't change. We'll
drop a mountain range on top of you.
Ninve
na.
I don't think that's what he actually
sang. But I I I had a tufa when I used
to write song parodies. So that was one
of them. Anyway, that the ni actually
comes. And you see that when Hashem
tells Yona, "Go to Ninveet and tell them
to do Chuva."
Yona runs away
because he knows they'll do Chuva.
He says, "You want to use me to beat up
on the Jews? Because here all these
Nvidian came to the Jews and told them
to do chuva. They didn't. And I'm going
to go into Ninve. I'm going to tell them
to do chuva and they'll all do chuva.
And then you're going to use that to
beat up on the Jews. Sorry, not on my
watch."
Why was he so sure that Ninve would do
Juva?
What was going on over there?
Ashaw was a very special place.
Yeah.
Araino stood against the door
at mdal. He stood alone. Arama. He was
on one side. Everybody was on the other
side.
I told you Noah knew Miss Shal knew
Marishan.
If you work out the years,
Noah was still alive when Abraham was
there. So how come Abraham had to figure
out a bar on his own? Why didn't Noah
tell says the medish Noah was hiding.
She shame and a were hiding.
Ashure when he saw what Nimrod was
planning picked up his descendants and
left and said we won't be a part of
this.
Ashua already separated from all the
nations of the world at Mdalb and went
away.
Which is why when they were turning
evil, instead of just saying, "Okay,
well, they're your average evil nation,
Hashem wanted to give them a special nva
to come back and they did."
And Hashem had ramim on them. Usually
you don't get that option if you're one
of the nations of the world. So Asha as
a nation was a very special place with
tremendous potential, more potential
than everybody else.
The Jews were taken away to Mitim and to
Ash. And both of them have a number of
links. For example, the medish says the
king of Ninve was parro. He got spit out
of the Yamsuf and he landed in Ninve and
became king.
So when Yonuk shows up, he says, "What's
going on?" He says, "Well, there's this
Jewish prophet saying that God's going
to destroy the country." He goes, "Oh
no, not again." Trust me, guys, this guy
is serious.
You do not want to mess with this God.
Okay, time to do Chuva.
There's a relationship there. And we
went into Gullis Babel and we're in
Gullis uh Romy,
but uh but Gullis Ash ashore. These
people never came back. We lost touch
with them. We don't even know where they
are. Nidim pushed away. So there's a
special kayak to them where they have
the potential for redemption.
And that's why they got special
treatment.
