Does Hell Exist? Can Anxiety And Depression Feel Like Hell?

aren't either worship or makalah  Shabbat someone does not work on   his anger call mean again I'm Shaun  King bow what does it mean to gain   on Shanthi bow he says one of the  commentaries it is impossible for an   idol worshipper to avoid going to geheniom  (gehenna) permanently now I have a shuir about gehinnom it's not for everybody it's not  for everybody why most people probably get a   heart attack within the first 10 minutes once they  understand is what actually happens because we are   we live in a generation that unfortunately people  that look like me and they call themselves rabbis   lie to people they tell them that gehenna doesn't  exist hell doesn't exist they tell them "no no everybody is okay don't worry"  even though the Torah says  otherwise in many places including this week's parsha Gemara mesechet senhadrin says what  happened to the meraglim that lied about Eretz Israel that spoke against Eretz Israel says  they have no share of the world to come so as you   mean they have no share of the world to come? Says first of all they were punished in this   world they spoke against the Land of Israel  Hashem took their tongue and connected to   their belly button and let them rot in front  of everybody a vicious horrible disgusting   death this is this week's parsha. But aside  from that after they died he says they have no share of the world to come what is no share of   what to come? It means geheniom  (gehenna) what does gehenna mean anyone who wants to know a lot  of details should watch my shoe about   geheniom just hit over 10,000 views so  apparently a lot of people want nobody   know about gehenna (hell) alot of  people want to know about gehenna but it'll scare you it'll scare you and the reason  why is because it's real and you need to know a   little bit about it anyone that knows a little bit  of Hebrew I brought a book you could read a little   bit about it I can't give it to you because  my book but I can show you and I give you a   verse a verse in the Torah where Yehoshua ben Levi one of the greatest tzadikkim that ever lived one   of the ten people that never died went to GaN  Eden with a suit on 10 people in history never   died Hashem decided to take them from this world  into the next world one of them is Eliyahu HaNavi One of them is Yehoshua ben Levi, one of them is Binyamin one of them is Eliazer   the helper of Avram Avinu (Abraham) and  so on and so forth Yeshua ben Levi he   had a good friend who was it Eliayhu  HaNavi the Prophet he was his friend   no friends so Eliyahu HaNavi comes to him and  he says are you interested in seeing gehenna  and he says yeah sure why not why not I want to  see it anybody interested in seeing gehenna (hell)  not so much right I promise you don't want to  see it but I'll tell you a little bit about it   just you know a little 1% of 1% of 1% of 1% of  1% of 1% what it sounds like so you understand   this is real why do you need to know it's real  because if we continue driving on Shabbat if we   continue being idol worshippers if we continue  eating treif if we continue going against HaShem   if we continue being immodest and causing guys  to sin this is the option Hashem doesn't wanna   send you there I promise you He doesn't want  to send you there you want some yeah you take   me there right now first-class it's not hard  but if a person knows if I Drive really fast   I could potentially die most likely they're  not gonna drive really fast if a personal if   I Drive really fast I'm guaranteed to die they're  definitely not gonna drive fast that's the point   of gehenna HaShem says it's there it's available a  lot of people are there some are not ever leaving   unfortunately their sins were too great to the  extent where they have to be destroyed it's real   and anyone that tells you otherwise is considered  100% a heretic meaning you cannot count them as a   Jew even if they have a beard longer than mine  even if they call themselves a rabbi even if   they're famous rabbi why because this is one of  the ikariam of Judaism Rabbi Yeshua ben Levi says he says one time I was walking  around and I saw Eliyahu HaNavi   and Eliyahu said to me do you have any  interest in seeing Gehenna? I said sure. So he took me there he took  me there and what'd he say he showed me people in geheniom that are being hung by their   nose why they are hung by the nose you  guys know sometimes women wear a lot of   perfume right you enjoy that perfume and  she's not your wife that's the punishment some people hung by their hands why they  hung by the hands you ever take something   that's not yours that's what happens. you ever say something that you you   ever say something that you're not  allowed to say you lied you said   lashon hara about somebody that's what happens some people are hung by their legs you ever go   somewhere that they're not really supposed  to go to instead of going to a shoot or ah   you went to the bar you went to the pub you  went to night club you went to one of those   places that's part of the process there.  He showed me women hung by their chests you know sometimes a woman and she likes to get  attention she wants all the guys to look at   her so she wears a shirt that's perfectly  shows everything meaning it's almost like   it's not there she shows everything he's  all there it's almost like it's not there   Oh better yet she called herself a company  because she covers everything but it's so   tight it might as well not be there because  width of clothes without the clothes you're   not really sure she's wearing anything it's so  tight so Eliyahu HaNavi says those people they   can have a special section they hung by that  you want to show you chest no problem we're   gonna show everything to the whole every  single person that goes is gonna see you   hanging by what you want to show the whole world showed me people that are hung by their eyes you   know some guys they like to look at those  girls they like to look at those girls ah   Hashem says you wanna look at them no problem  that's what you do they hung him by the eyes the section cuz I'm already seeing that you guys  that are scared enough and he says they showed me   people that Hashem fed them their own flesh why  they ate treif you ate non-kosher food I said   eat kosher food no oh you ate non kosher because  you liked a little pepperoni on your pizza you   like a little worms in your salads from Subway  because you thought it was kosher even though   it doesn't say kosher on the door the only thing  that was kosher it's something that you thought   about but not in the restaurant so I'll feed you  something else who yourself now someone's gonna   tell you wait a minute once you die there's  no body anymore there's no body anymore so   what happened how could the by how could the  neshamah suffer all the stuff well Rabbotai neshamah according to the Gemara feels 60 times  more than the body does we our perception of what   the neshamah is as something that feels nothing  as some you know ghost that just flies through   the wall or something like you saw in movies  that's not what the neshamah is the neshamah   is actually restricted by the body to the extent  that once the neshamah leaves the body the feeling   is 60 times more it goes into a lot more details  but you get the point you want to know more just   watch my shul about genome why do I tell you all  this stuff I don't necessarily want anybody to   have nightmares but you need to have a little  bit you need to have a little bit why because   when a person does not watch his speech does not  watch his behavior does not watch all the things   that they're doing they could simply become their  own worst enemy now on one end they could become   their own worst enemy by leading their own soul  into a place that's called geheniom which is real   which is painful which in some cases the Gemara  says never ends some people go to gehenna for a limited amount of time a year a month five years  thousand years but then the Gemara mesechet Rosh   Hashanah in several places says that some  people go there never leave here the Gemara Rosh Hashanah page 16 B says and many of those  who sleep in the dusty earth will awaken these   for everlasting life and these for shame  for everlasting abhorrence says there are   certain people that will get punished but don't  be resurrected with the dead they'll be don't get   out of gehenna they'll eventually go to Gan Eden  then but there are certain people that will never   leave Gehenna because they died a mechael Shabbat  because they died an idol worshiper because they   died someone that did not do teshuva and one of  the sources for that is the last verse in the Book   of Isaiah last verse of the Book of Isaiah you can  look at it Isaiah says to Am Israel and they will   go out and see the corpses of the men who rebelled  against Hashem against Me for their decay will   not cease and their fire will not be extinguished  they will lie in disgrace before all mankind here   we see that the prophet Isaiah literally says this  is a place of unfortunately eternal suffering now   gehenna doesn't necessarily need to just be what  I just described meaning this eternal horrible   horrific place anybody here ever see a scary movie  you guys so scary movies before okay this is worse   cuz it's real the movie ends at some point now it  doesn't have to be this way okay no can somebody   sometimes be in this world how somebody that lives  with anxiety constantly someone that's constantly   depressed someone that's constantly angry at  everything that moves that's an emotional gehenna   that person is constantly suffering it's not fire  per se they're not being hung they're not fun you   know suffering physically but they're suffering  emotionally they're constantly depressed they're   constantly thinking negatively the constantly  thinking things are gonna work out in a bad   way they constantly look at everything in a bad  way they have no hope they have no dreams they   have no aspirations they simply can't wait to  die because they think their troubles will be   over the Vida medic said and Tehillim 30 verse 4  assume you've raised me you've raised my soul up   from shell you took my soul out of geheniom now  the Vida man was alive when he said this meaning   that what is the Vida Melek saying sin Hashem  I was down you took me out meaning that even   being in a depression even being in a horrible  state of mind that's also a section of gehenna   no it's just you put yourself in there you put  yourself in there they gave them in this world   we put ourselves in the game number that's where  we also put ourselves in but we don't realize it if a person thinks about his actions thinks about  his behavior thinks about what she's doing thinks   about what he's doing they'll realize that most  of the problems that they have in their life has   actually within their hands they brought it to  themselves and hobby flame says my love he says   if somebody told you do you want cancer how many  people here by a show of hands how many people   here says yes you want cancer anybody want  cancer once twice three times no same price   no anybody here want diabetes diabetes maybe  anybody here want AIDS anybody here want heart   attack no right with the exception of AIDS the  other three people bring on themselves hey it's   also but the other three they bring on themselves  without even realizing it and if somebody told   you do you want any one of these horrible deadly  diseases if I paid you a million dollars how many   people would say no what I'll take a little  chemo for a million bucks how many how many   people two million dollars two million dollars  to get a little cancer no how many two million   dollars cancer two million dollars diabetes  two million dollars you're actually thinking   about it you kind of come to every shoe then it  comes every shiur two million dollars for cancer   no oh anyone that's actually contemplating it you  should go to the cancer unit and tell them I want   to see what a cancer patient looks like no by  men you need to see it because then you realize   that you don't want it now of course no one here  would take cancer for any price not 1 million not   two million not 2 billion no one here will take  diabetes for any place no one here would take a  heart attack for any price that if I'm asks us  then why are we giving it to ourselves for free if you're not gonna take it for two million for  five million for a hundred million why are you   giving it to yourself for free by living a life  full of anger you know how many people die all   the time because they got so angry they got  a heart attack you know how many people lose   their minds to the point where they literally  make themselves sick the truth is is that it's   the majority of people what we wouldn't take  for an endless amount of money or Rav Efraim reminds us we unfortunately sometimes  give it to ourselves for free we give
