[Music] as was the wisest smartest W history besides if he was so wise and smart how did he as you said he knew it says in the you can only have 18 wives and he through his rationality he wanted to convert everybody into Judaism every woman into the whole Nations into Judaism yet how did he get labeled the smartest manner of if a person's smart they're supposed to learn from their mistakes in a sort of way was it g no he learned from his mistakes after he did it he he admitted that it was a mistake later on in his life he said that he made a mistake but while he was doing it he didn't see it as a mistake because he saw it as a Mitzvah it's a mitvah to bring peace it's a mitvah to help people convert to Judaism it's a mitvah to add more mitvah to the world it's a mitvah and he thought that if the way he rationalized it at least to my understanding is that if you just marrying 18 Jewish women normally you know that's allowed if you're marrying 20 25 50 100 Jewish women then that's not allowed why cuz you already you have 18 what's the point but he rationalized that no I'm only marrying these extras because I want to make them Jewish because I want to make more Jewish people because I want to bring World Peace because I want to bring the mhia why do I want to bring the mhia to sanctify aem's name to the highest level it's ever been meaning it's not for him and his desire to be with a thousand women it's only for the sake of rationalizes so it must be aah but you have to understand that even aah you have to do it the way said it and that was the mistake of schl so even though he was wise he was still human he was still human as far as his wisdom is concerned to give you a small example of his wisdom so we don't think that he's like us in any way shape or form uh because the mistakes makes him seem like he's us because we figured that now that we know the story in hindsight ah I wouldn't even make this mistake I wouldn't make I should maybe I'm maybe I'm the so let me explain to you what is there's a mid that talks talks about his throne his throne he built his throne his throne had more sophisticated technology has more sophisticated technology than anything we have in the world today anything we have in the world today people think because they have iPhones and iPads and I something they think that we have sophisticated technology if you read the midash that talks about The Throne of which by the way tried taking this Throne had technology that's unbelievable first and foremost you he was the only one that was allowed to sit in it why you had to have codes there was a lion on one side and there was a a golden lion and a golden eagle now as soon as he came there's no electricity in those days there's no batteries there's no uh you know Siri right but he goes over there on the first step before he takes the first step he says a verse in the Tor as soon as he says a verse in the Torah the uh the eagle's wing comes Golden Eagle Golden Eagle it's not uh you know microprocessors Golden Eagle the eagle goes lifts his leg up goes to the next step continues saying verse for every step eventually he gets to the throne sits down as soon as he sits on the throne there was a golden dove not that they painted a real dove in Gold like it was gold golden dove flew and put and carrying his uh his his uh crown and put it on his head put it on his head now what happens if you don't know the code you don't know the verses well that happened of that day after died tried taking the throne he wanted to go on the throne and he didn't know the verse so he just said Muhammad Ali he said so instead of the eagle lifting him the lion took his arm hit him in the back broke his back he was a paric for the rest of his life no one was able to sit in his throne and this is from gold furthermore schl was the only one that knew where to find the seven different types of gold in the world there are seven says there are seven different types of gold in the world different shades and colors but most importantly they have different uh uh uh abilities one of those Golds one of the golds that he had was a gold that produces gold meaning you take a bar of gold you put it in a drawer you come back the next day there's two bars you leave it in the draw the next day there's four bars gives birth to another bar another bar it continues expanding everybody's asking where's this gold would you know rabi Ruben I know I know I'm just not telling you that's where my Millions come from anyway he had this gold he knew where to find it and that's how he built an entire city of gold the entire bet mdash was full of gold when the BET mikash was destroyed all the they took the gold from the bet mikdash but they when they brought all this gold from the BET mikdash to the market there was so much Surplus extra gold in the world now that the price of gold collapsed all over the world that's how much gold had because is gold continue producing gold but nobody knows where this gold is anymore except [Music] me but the point is is that he had the understanding of where to get this which part of the world he also knew to get the Shamir worm a special type of worm that would had radiation come out of it so he could build the BET mikdash without using metal he would cut the stones if you go to the the Western Wall you see these stones are massive they're Ute stones but they weren't cut by metal because you weren't allowed to build the with metal because metal is the sign of War so how do you cut these huge giant Stones was a special worm it's called a Shamir worm that radiat came out of it and it would cut the stones only knew where to find this he knew that ashai the king of the Demons he knew it he TR he knew how to trap him and he got him to bring it to him and so on and so forth so there are many many things that schl was the only one in the world that knew uh is W is wisdom is uh I mean I don't know how to explain it I heard one huge one time say it's in essence the closest we could as humans can get to God like that's that's how his wisdom is not like high IQ like 200 300 there's no IQ no IQ like like Einstein you know people think Einstein or or or or Newton Isaac Newton they think that uh these people were really smart next to SCH they were that's that's the comparison that's the comparison and so that's something that's uh you read read the about you see the things that he said the things that he knew uh were something unbelievable but nonetheless he still was human and made a human error uh that judged him for [Music]
