[Music] anything that's written in the Tor is permanent again anything that's written in the Tor is permanent they ask how many prophets did am is have throughout all of history and the answer is there was at least double the amount of men that left Egypt were prophets so it's written in the Tor there was a 63,500 men between the ages of 20 and 60 so thear says there was at least double the out double that 1.2 million prophets throughout history so the next natural question is okay great we had 1.2 million prophets fantastic where are they where's their Torah where's their teaching because according to our tanak we only have 48 men seven women we're missing a few 48 men seven women it's 55 we're missing a few for 1.2 million a few just a little bit not that much we're missing a few where' they go what they didn't like them it's prophecy it's words from God it's not like it was logic prophecy is God where' they go answers the only things that are mentioned in a Tor are things that are permanent their prophecies for the 1.2 million their prophecies were relevant to their own time was relevant to their own time whatever they said was relevant to their own generation their own place that they were living in their own town their own whatever it was was relevant to them and the people around them and their students it wasn't relevant forever meaning that anything that's mentioned in the Torah it's permanent it's forever it's relevant to you so when anyone asks wait a minute didn't God know that we're going to be a weak generation it's going to be hard for us to keep Shabbat because everyone else is driving even to sh on Shabbat it's hard to keep Shabbat didn't God know that it's hard to be a modest woman because every other woman is walking around with a tank top short sometimes even not that do you know if you ask your grandparents everybody's very young here you ask your grandparents ABA IMA Grandpa grandfather Saba SAA ask him first I said abim's father mother um so live no OT so so you ask sabba and SAA can you uh show me pictures from when you were a kid if you have any I mean pictures and you see them whether they're Jewish or not Jewish whether they're around Jews or not Jews everyone's clothes is like this covering the only thing you see is the face very modest they don't show you don't know what anybody looks like everyone looks skinny everyone looks everyone looks the same whatever the face is but the clothes is very big he tell him yeah but IMA what do you think of uh little Samantha over there and her uh tight jeans and tank top you know what they would tell you if they actually had the ability to speak freely and they weren't worried about the political correctness of this world you know what they would say to you yes that's underwear what she's wearing yeah yeah yeah we used to wear that too it's called underwear the tank top is called underwear the tight pants is called underwear it's not supposed to be out ofwar it's underwear it's what you wear under your clothes so in reality what you have today are women that are walking around in underwear but they don't know why they don't know cuz everyone else is so all of a sudden you have a little tadika trying to wear modest clothes they're more loose they're more appropriate no one knows what she looks like under her clothes it was like what happened somebody died no I just don't want to show the world my body why why not like there's something wrong with her they don't realize it's something wrong with them so the first problem in today's world is that we don't know that we're sick we don't know that we're sick we have no idea where we stand theant he writes he says in his days this is almost 200 years ago less than a little less than 200 years ago says medicine has advanced so rapidly in his day he's not even talking about today if he was here today think that's wow says medicine advance so much today that we have you have a see right there medicine has advanced so much today that we have just as many doctors as we do diseases if we have a disease we have at least one doctor for it except if it's spiritual disease if it's a physical disease we have at least as many doctors as we do diseases but if it's a spiritual disease we have a growing amount of spiritual disaster spiritual plagues he calls it but we barely have any doctors at all this was a problem almost 200 years ago and he says the reason why is because the only medicine for Spiritual disease is and only medicine everything else follows loving AEM learning about learning about all these different fabulous things first you need basic level connection know that you're not perfect know that you have to fix something now in case anyone has the audacity the goal to say that maybe was wrong this person Hades but let's say you think you don't know who he is never heard of him the first time you heard who I don't see him in house who is he you don't see his picture which by the way you can't find this picture he didn't let anybody take his picture there's one picture they say is him but they said this is what he would look like but it's not really him so maybe you don't know him you don't know him never heard of him so we go go back to the source what's his Source remember we said if it's his opinion maybe yes maybe no if he has a source that has direct lineage to God then we got something so on the way to the was thinking about this and I was listening to the sh by um and also somebody else at the same time I don't know a lot of things were going through my mind and uh these three verses came up first and foremost in Proverbs 15:10 says someone who hates to be rebuked meaning to be corrected appropriately not to be rebuked like hey you stupid no nothing like that not insulting rebuked meaning hey you're sick your anger is a sickness your stinginess is a sickness your immodesty sickness these are sicknesses these are not oh no he's just like that like a lot of people say no no he's you know he just gets angry it's just like that that's just part of him no no no my friend Hashem didn't make you angry you made you angry he made you a baby you ruined it and grew up when you're a baby you ever see an angry baby no they're all cute what are they angry about they want milk see you ever see a baby loses hair because he stressed out about mortgage you ever see a baby say a I can't believe my team lost you ever see a baby do that no have two babies in the house none of them is worried about any teams or any mortgages and they're not losing hair so I could tell you from experience baby doesn't care about that baby's good their biggest stress is just bring the food on time so Hashem made you and we took certain paths in our life that improvised even though there also some natural inclinations that Hashem gave you due to your previous life gig which we're not going to talk about now but nonetheless your job in this world is to fix it so schl says that any one who doesn't like to hear that they're sick who doesn't like to hear how to fix it doesn't like to hear is is rebuke anyone who doesn't is dead it's considered dead like a dead person why why okay doesn't like M maybe he likes I don't know he likes uh I don't know something else likes baseball he's alive he's alive and well he's playing on a team makes $15 million a year seems very much alive to me why is schl the wisest man of all time saying you don't like to hear rebuke you're dead dead dead person same thing you and dead person in the grapes same thing why he says because if you don't want to hear M the same thing said 3,000 years later there's no way you can do chuva meaning you might as well die already cuz you're just ruining it every day you're alive every day you're alive you're ruining it you're making it worse more anger more stinginess more this more more bad traits you not you know you don't want to hear M you don't want to fix yourself you're just ruining it even more every day the main thing that a person needs to truly understand is that AEM himself didn't just leave it to us he said you don't have the instruction just from you don't have to just rely on the world of despite his wisdom you can rely on me another verse in it says whoever hem loves that's the one he's going to rebuke if he loves you he's rebuking you if he loves you he gives you tests if he loves you he gives you difficulties he loves you you're GNA have problems why because he wants to fix you you don't fix nothing unless it's broken and Until you realize it's broken you're not going to want to fix it soem says ahat page 104 says someone that comes to become pure comes to sanctify themselves to get closer to Hashem Hashem paves their way Shem paves their way opens doors for them why oh he realizes he's sick he's spiritually sick nothing wrong with it we're all spiritually sick there's nothing wrong with being spiritually sick there's something wrong with denying it that's something wrong being sick is not a problem people get sick every day take a medicine you fix it you pray you fix it what's the problem problem is someone that has cancer ban someone has a major disease B me now tell hey I have the Cure here I have a cure they made it in Israel they made a cure for cancer in Israel here no no I don't want it why not it's okay I don't want it I I I don't like juice you're sicker than cancer the cancer is the least of your problems you don't want to take the med I give you medicine you don't want to take it because you don't like Jews you don't want to take it because you don't want to admit that you're sick you don't want to take it because I'll beat this how you going to beat it you has the medicine to beat it no I don't want to take it that's sicker than cancer so being sick spiritually sick is not a problem it's natural makes you human denying that you're sick that's the problem
