The Navitza chapter 3:20 says, "At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you, for I will make you into a good name and praise among all the peoples of the earth." Here, Hashem is telling us that Mashiach is going to gather all of the Jews from exile. and the Rambam Poskins. But this is one of the proofs of the identity of the Mashiach where he brings all of the Jews to Israel. Whether you make aliyah now, if you're righteous, you will live in Israel. When either you choose now or you survive this by being righteous by following the Torah and Hashem is going to bring you first class ticket. Who's going to bring you? Mashia. How you know who's Mashia? He's going to bring you to Israel. It's one of the conditions. The Nav in chapter 4 talked about how one of the things that Hashem is going to change in nature is that the sun will become dark and the moon will become blood red. Why is this going to be done? Says the alik. If the people of the world will say that they have powers and stars in mazalot and those powers will help. Hashem will destroy all of their hopes by showing them that even the moon they don't have. Even the sun they don't have and there's nothing else but all of the weapons all of the magic all of the media all of the politics all of that is going to be put to shame. It's all going to be one big waste of time. You need as many mitzvot as you possibly can. As much as much as you possibly can. In so many words is telling us through the prophet don't rip your clothes. Rip your hearts and do the prophet Isaiah says in chapter 26 in verse number 19 talks about may your dead come to life. May my corpses arise. Awake and shout for joy. You who rest in the dirt for your de is like the dew that revives the vegetation. May you topple the lifeless wicked to the ground. And then the next verse talks about go. Go to my people. Enter your rooms and close your door behind you. Hide for a brief moment until the wrath has passed. For behold, Hashem is going forth from his place to bring punishment for the sin of the inhabitant of the world upon him. And the land will reveal its blood and no longer cover over its slain. Bahu says it is an absolute necessity in order for the climax of the world to be reached, which is glorifying. What should one do? We already said learn Torah and do but he has to go to work, take care of family, pay bill. But how do I know that I'm doing enough? How do I know I'm giving enough? Giving enough of my time, giving enough of my money. First, you have to have a good relationship with your rabbi where you ask him everything. You have someone that's guiding you, not just when you feel like it or after you've already made the move and you realize it's the wrong move. You know, like some people say, "Rabbi, should I make a blessing on this?" And then they show you the rapper after the food is already eaten. Rabbi, do you think I should move to this place after they've already packed the bags and they're already on the way? Don't have one of those. Having a relationship with a rabbi means that everything and anything is necessary. You're talking to the rabbi. You're not overconfident in your own uh decision-m and people don't realize how important that is until they make mistakes and then they ask for help. They don't realize that if they'll have asked for help before they made the move, they wouldn't have needed to ask for help later. So, a person needs to learn do, but they have to have somebody that's going to tell them if they're doing enough. And if they're not, it's obviously change. But how much is enough? says in Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse number 10, "Whatever you are able to do with your might, do it. For there's neither doing nor reckoning, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave where you are going." How much is enough? As much as you can possibly give of yourself, as much as you can possibly give of your time, as much as you can possibly give of your money, as much as you can possibly give your effort. How much is enough? As much as you can possibly do. Whatever strength you have, do it. Why? after you die or after time's up. The only thing you're going to have regret about is not whether you ate more ice cream or not, or whether you built more buildings or not, or whether you spent more time going to the pool or not. The only thing you're going to have regret about is whether you used the tools that gave you to the full potential or not. Because that's what you're going to see. You see, listen, look at all the tools you had. You had $550,000 in your retirement account, but you did not use it to do kiru because you were afraid to, you know, maybe you're not going to have money when you're retired at 65 in 30 years from now. Who said you're going to live to 65? Who promised you 65? Who promised you next week? Who promised you today? You didn't give that shure because you retired. You didn't read that book because you wanted to read the newspaper tools who gave you. You're going to see this is what I gave you. This is what you could have done. You could have been the door in your community, the door in in in your city. You could have been the one that helped feed 500 every month. You could responsible to feed thousands of if you would have simply used the tools that I gave you, but you didn't. So, what do you have for it? You have three cars. You have five houses. You have 30 watches, a substantial stock portfolio, three companies, five apps, three ex-wives, and one current wife. kids with many of them and others that no one knows about. And guess what? None of that will help you. Now, yeah, but I have my name on the B. Yeah, that also doesn't help you. Look at the tools you got, you use them. That's why says if you're worried about personal, there's no decision. There's no discussion. But if you're worried about what the prophet is saying, if you're worried about what Tawa is saying, if you're worried about the honor of Hashem, you're worried about things that are actually eternal, then you have to ask yourself whether you have done everything you possibly can with all of the tools that you have. Because that's what is saying. Whatever you're able to do with your might, do it. If you can work an extra hour or able to learn an extra hour or if you're able to help more, whatever you can do, do more. That's why in the world of Torah, it's constantly compared to business. Aba says, Hashem runs the world like a business. Why? Because you're supposed to work learn, you know, run your life in Torah as a business. Constantly look for higher goals. If you want to succeed in business, you have to constantly shoot for higher goals. The biggest failures in the world are usually people that have a to-do list that ends at some point where they have 10 things and once they get there, they check it and they check the next one and they're looking forward to finishing the to-do list. Those are usually people that are the biggest losers in the world. Why? They're looking to finish. The biggest winners, you know, who they are, they're the ones that never finish a to-do list. You know why? They finish that one, but they already have two more other things. They finish three more, but they have four other things. Each time they finish, there's already more to be added. They never there is no finish. That's why they're a success cuz they keep going from from place to place to do more and more more and more. Completing the shas is a stepping stone. Meaning you finish the shas to do what? So you can do it again. Okay. So after you do it again, what do you do? You do it again. And after you do it again, what do you do? Do it again. Okay, fine. After you do it 100 times, what do you do? 100 more. What? What's the question? You finished it. What do you do after that? You do it again. Why? Cuz every single time you do it, you have to get even higher. It's not just learning it again. It's learning it a new learning it differently. Learning it with a new perspective. Learning it with new knowledge. learning it with and when a person sees what says and realize wait this is the smartest man that ever lived he's saying something that's seems like common sense whatever you're able to do with all your might do it but in reality it seems like a simple statement until you realize wait he's the smartest man of all if you understand what what is being said here that means that we have to evaluate ourselves on a regular basis to constantly shoot for more why because every day you have new strengths that you did not have yesterday you have new information you have new bank account, you have new money, you have new friends, you have new uh contacts, you have new customers, you have more than you did yesterday. Are you using all of that to glorify name? Sometimes people think, wait, if I already donate as much as they can. So, so what else can I do? Get other people. Get other people to donate. Be a fundraiser to help more people do cha make events. There's in so many words, make an analysis of whatever powers Hashem gave you and see, am I using all of these powers to the fullest potential? Don't think that any one thing is off limits. Why? Hashem says everything that I made to glorify my name. Everything everything needs to be used. Everything can be used to glorify name. Sometimes a person thinks that it's all about my own personal resources because the only regret you're going to have is what you didn't use. That's what Laksh was crying about. It says that after he was coming to the end of his days, he was he was crying cuz he had a little vegetable left. What are you crying about the vegetable? No, you're not understanding. I didn't use all my resources. I missed I missed. If I missed this, maybe I missed something else, too. If the person uses all of their resources to the fullest potential, they're in the busiest person in the world. Yes, they're working, but they have two jobs. They have the job that gets money to pay the bills and pay employees and whatever it is, and then there's the other job. Why? Publicizing Hashm's name. How do they know that they're doing good? If the blessings that come from publicizing Hashem's name help the other one also, I think the conclusion of all of it is that everyone is scared of go deniers of it obviously have to deal with a whole lot of verses in a Torah that they'll have to find. They'll have to somehow prove wrong. You have to prove all of the sages, all of the all of the Mishna, all the Zah, everything that said wrong. Pretty much, pretty much it's a new Torah. So, we see that this go has to happen just like birth. It will happen, but eventually have a nice cute baby. That's the fundamental truth. Now that I have that information, what do I do? Is this information just going to go to the back burner that I know this is going to happen, but nothing is going to change about my life or am I going to take this and act, do something. Check the blessings, check the curses, check the time management, check the Torah learning. Everybody has to check as far as preparation for some war by break building yourself some bunker, buying yourself a gun, moving to Israel, moving to wherever, none of that stuff's going to help you. If you become the most informed person on every news network on planet Earth in the history of mankind, it will not help you. Knowledge of weapons of mass destruction will not help you. Being part of the army will not help you. Being able to fly a jet plane will not help you. Having survival skills will not help you. Why? Go Magog is a war unlike anything else. There is no way to prepare for it physically. Spiritually on the other hand, plenty of things to do. Make sure you're following and learning as much dua as you can. Make sure you're helping as many people as you possibly can in any way that you can whether it's uh spiritually to help them do or financially to help them eat. When it's whatever opportunities you have, grab them. Grab them. Grab them because that's the only preparation that is going to be useful in the days ahead. hope is on we all succeed in preparing ourselves well for the big awesome day of Hashem. May we succeed so much that other people will do it too because success is true success creates a chain effect where other people want to follow us suit. All of you want to do the same thing. One of the best signs of success is competition. You have competition. Somebody goes into your your field. Somebody replicates you. You did one thing they replicate the same thing. It's a good sign you're succeeding. So you go in the right direction. So if your kiru is working, if your Torah is working, it's also going to create other. They don't want to do the same thing. You have to use all of your efforts, all of the things you possibly can to glorify [Applause] [Music]
