We're back here on our Tuesday night war of series based on the writings of tonight's shure is uh sponsored for the of Victoriao Rivera and also for the lema of our binamit rait sabat anat lean bats sabat Leana variat and all of Am is and all the righteous Noahides that continue to support us uh continue to sponsor the lectures continue to help us do all the wonderful things that Bashm we're doing. Anyone that wants to donate and support can go to beem.org be z-sh.org. It'll be on the page on the bottom uh tomorrow when this goes on uh YouTube. And of course, highly recommended for everybody to uh get uh their answers from the AI rabbi app that we have. I spoke to an AI expert today who was very very impressed uh by the uh features in the AI rabbi that uh even though he's an expert and he actually has several of his own uh applications of AI for different uh obviously uh markets different things he says he hasn't seen the the features that we have in it uh in other uh AI applications. So, AI Rabbi certainly uh helps a lot of people. It even helps me when we're uh studying and we're trying to get specific sources, specific answers, things we've said before, things we have uh we need uh information about. Uh so, Rabbi is certainly a big uh big plus. So uh we have the uh extraordinary's words uh still with us today and uh anyone that is uh familiar with the era of Msiah series that we did knows that Raan Vasiman's words are uh very uh similar to the prophecies we've had in Tanakh because we see everything he said back then nearly uh 100 years ago are very much relevant today and this lecture is uh not only no different but in fact this lecture is even more so. The uh we titled the lecture times haven't changed but time did. Of course this sounds like an oxymoron but uh we'll explain exactly really what that means. Not a day goes by where we don't hear people saying uh whether it's speakers or just regular people uh that uh times have changed. The generation is different. The generation is weak. It's not the same today as it used to be. Yet Schlam Melik the wisest man of all said in Cohel nothing new under the sun. Nothing is new under the sun. So this sounds like a contradiction's war of series will unravel this contradiction by showing us a relatively unknown and unwritten teachings of the who was his uh rabbi about the time the whole concept of time especially when it pertains to the end of days. Now, this shoe is going to certainly answer some of your questions. It's uh certainly going to address some issues that you've had thoughts about, that you've asked about, and uh it's certainly going to be something that should entice us to change something about our life once we have this new bit of information. in section 22 of the count by uh called in essence saying his strategy to the king. This is what I'm going to do. This is what we uh we have. This is our blueprint for how to deal with the war against Amalikch at the end of days. In section 22, says that the may his memory be blessed used to say and he starts this is the teachings of the meaning at the end of times at the last stage of this world which he was in as Well, we're going to see things. What things? He says, "Look at the times we have today. We're seeing things firsthand right now that are matching what we are supposed to see at the end of days. What kind of things are we seeing? We're seeing things we've never seen before. But the truth is there's nothing new under the sun. Nothing new under the sun. So wait. So on one end you're saying that we're seeing things we've never seen before. On another end you're saying that nothing's new under the sun. So first before we unravel what the is telling us here let's see what coit said let's see what said in coit in English called Ecclesiastes chapter 1 verse number nine and on he says as follows whatever has been is what will be and whatever has been done is what will be done. There's nothing new beneath the sun. So first tells us that what happened will happen. What people did in the past they'll do again in the future. Nothing new in the times that you live. Rashi says that whoever pursues secular matters will find nothing new. Only that was already that that has already existed since the six days of creation. Only in Torah study does one experience new interpretations meaning on the other hand comments that Hashem's creation is perfect and complete and therefore lacks nothing. So whatever we view as new has already been provided by a kadosh in his infinite wisdom. And as part of creation, Hashem created the resources, conditions, concepts for all discoveries and inventions of succeeding generations until the end of time. And therefore, when any generation witnesses an unusual phenomenon and takes it as if it's new, they are mistaken. It's only new to them. The mid says that whatever an eminent scholar will someday expound already existed and was communicated as to Mosher Renu at Mount Sai. This is something we've repeated many times over the years that both the written Torah and the oral Torah were given to Mosherenu at Mount Si. Even books that are written by that have the truth were already given to but back to the point at hand where is telling us look you're looking for something new and you thought you found it. I'm telling you he says nearly 3,000 years ago 2500 years ago it's not new. It's always been the case. You are experiencing as if it's new. It's the first time you've seen it. It's the first time your generation has seen it. But that's not because it's new. It's new to you. K continues and says sometimes there is something of which a person says look this is new. It has always exist. It has already existed in the ages before though. As there is no recollection of the former ones, so too the latter ones that are yet to be. There will be no recollection among those of still later time. He says, "You're seeing as new because you don't have any memory or recollection of the previous generations that already had what you have, that already experienced what you're experiencing. They spent their entire life chasing after futile things, wasting their time, spending all of their energy and resources, accumulating things that only the next generation will enjoy, chasing honor that is lost is much quicker than it's gained. And Rashi explains sometimes something will come to you beneath the sun of which someone might say look this is new. On this verse he says it's not new. It's already existed in ages preceding it. Things only seem new to you because there is no recollection of what happened before. You're not realizing that this is merely a product of reorganization of elements that already existed since creation explains that this lack of knowledge about the past is not a new thing either. That generation before you that had what you have, that did what you did also thought it was new. But they forgot or they were not aware of the previous generation that had it also. And in fact this will continue happening in a future where a similar fate will befall our children and the children of our children after them because a generation goes and a generation comes and that's why the says that's why it many times that everything is futile. You're chasing a bunch of things as if you're trying to rediscover the wheel but in reality it's already been discovered. All the kings and the mighty empires says of the ancient times have perished from the face of the earth with no trace of them left in the world and all the toil they exerted in this world to build their empires. The only empires that retained their visibility throughout eternity are the spiritual empires. And the same concept goes for the wicked who perish from the world. No one remembers them. Faint stories here and there. But the righteous are remembered eternally. For even if they die in this world physically, they leave behind themselves a cherished legacy. Galiko says that is teaching us that the former generations who strove after futility left no remembrance after them and he cautions us not to think that we can learn from their shortcomings somehow to ensure our own eternity. There are some people in the world that are spending all of their energy to find a way of how a person can live forever. either combine them with a robot or some type of new medicine, stem cells, all types of things. People are literally spending billions of dollars to try to figure out how they could live forever. The reality is, Abu, this is not a new thing either. They tried to do it also in Egypt. They tried to do it in later generations after it. People didn't learn from the past. They continued and the says this goes on from generation to generation. No one learns from the previous generation. And if you think that you're going to learn from them, you're fooling yourself because these later generations who also toil for futility will also leave no remembrance of themselves in the previous one. And therefore, whatever profit transient man thinks he has gained from his toil beneath the sun is only of temporary value and is in reality futile and worthless. the money, the cars, the company you built, the so-called reputation. These are all things that have value in your mind, but they're not going to do anything in the future. Now when it comes to we understand that his writings are deep but we still have an issue that it seems like things are changing especially now with new technological developments. artificial intelligence now trying to get artificial general intelligence. Some people speculate that there's going to be quantum computers available within the next decade or so. Others think that it's not coming anytime soon. There's also the development or the attempt to develop AGI which is in so many words the next stage of artificial intelligence where it's so many words it's like Terminator 2 you know where they're uh robots are going to think for themselves. They're just hoping it doesn't turn out to be a uh like a bad movie. In fact, Elon Musk uh just uh said today that he's expecting to have his robots in the market available for people to purchase within the next 6 to 12 months, perhaps even less robot cars, robot, you know, that look like people. So, it looks like the future is here. For all of us that are old enough to remember the different things that were told in movies and and books and different things that talked about how the future's going to look, it looks like the future is here. There's robotics. There is there is a all types of new technology. So, it looks like things are changing. No, it's not changing. Looks like things are moving really fast. Perhaps that is an indication in the right direction. Says in the name of the difference between our time and the previous times is because the wheel of time the controls the speed of it has changed. Where has is speeding the wheel of time where what was done and achieved and built in previous generation over hundreds of years is now done in a very short period of time. Here the gives a kush about how Hashem runs the world and how he's running the world currently where the wheel of time has changed. The actions have not. People chasing after money, people chasing after different types of immorality, people chasing honor, people chasing space, more land, more control, big buildings, small buildings, new developments, old developments, all of that is the same. The difference is it's happening much faster. It's happening much much faster. Why is doing it? instituted into the world a fast forward button where things are happening much faster now than they did in the past. If you simply compare the technological development of what happened let's say 500 years ago versus the 1500 years beforehand. You would see that the developments whether it's the telescope or other major developments that happened at the time literally it seemed like what happened during the first 1500 those 1500 years versus 500 years ago that time it was night and day difference a lot more advancements a lot more wars a lot more horrors but then if you compare the last 500 years meaning since that period of to the last 100 years. You see that there has been more developments in the last 100 years, more changes, more wars, more death, more diseases, more turmoil in the world in the last hundred years than there was in the first 2,000 years since the Gregorian calendar. Obviously, not the beginning of time. It's even more so. So, you see that the last hundred years even surpassed not just 500 years ago, but the last 2,000 years. And in fact, if you look at the last 20 years, you see that there has actually been more developments in those 20 years in many respects than there was in the last 100 years. So developments, innovations, wars, change of major things in the world are happening much faster. But the actions themselves are still the same. As is telling us, nothing is new in the world with people or deeds. It's only that Hashem has sped up the wheel of time where things that used to take hundreds of years to happen are now happening quicker because the world is running out of time. And as he continues here, he says, "And here we see these things stand out and felt with more changes today than we saw even yesterday." And therefore says of when the prophet Jeremiah chapter 2 verse said that your evil will bring you suffering also is fulfilled with much faster speed than in previous generations. The in San Page 97A says in the name of Rav Katina, one of the great sages Just as the sabbatical year, the causes cessation one year out of seven years, so too the world ceases one millennium out of seven millennia. As it stated, Hashem alone will be exalted on that day, which indicates that there will be a day when the world is desolate. where in a uh Psalm 92 verse1 says Shabbat a psalm a song for the day of Shabbat which is interpreted as meaning the day that is completely Shabbat where it says a thousand years in your eyes Hashem are like a bygon yesterday indicating that that day is referring to the previous two verses that are millennium clarifies in simple language in so many words the world is destined to exist 6,000 years the first 2,000 years were of nothingness the second 2,000 years were of Torah meaning that the first 2,000 years there was No Torah given to AI is yet. Second 2,000 years, the Torah was given to Israel. And the third 2,000 years should have been the days of Msiah. But because of our sins, which are numerous, the years that have gone from the messianic era of God, in so many words, instead of enjoying the last 2,000 years, we have suffered due to our sins. And the salvation will come in the 7,000th year. We are now in the year of 5785 since creation. Meaning that there's just a little over 200 years left to this world. But in those 200 years, a lot of things have to happen. The Mashiah has to come. The resurrection of the dead, war of go. In fact, the also discusses that and says in the name ofan the generation of when the mashiach will come the number of Torah scholars will decrease the rest of the people their eyes will be worn out through grief and anxiety meaning people are going to suffer a Even before war, stress, anxiety, people are uh literally sick just simply from living their life full of stress and misery. Numerous troubles and harsh decrees will be constantly appearing a new. And before the first trouble is over, the second one will hasten hasten to appear. And the seven-year cycle that precedes the Mashiach's arrival, meaning that seven years before Mashia comes in the first year, the verse will be fulfilled that says, I will bring rain on one town and on one town I will not bring rain. Meaning there will be sufficiency in some areas and famine in others. We see some of that already. In the second year, the arrows of famine will be sent forth, meaning that there'll be limited famine in all areas. In the third year, there will be a great famine. Men and women and children will perish, and so will pious people and people of good deeds. The Torah knowledge will be forgotten by its students. In the fourth year, there will be a sufficiency, but not complete sufficiency. In the fifth year, there will be a great sufficiency. People will eat, drink, rejoice, and Torah knowledge will return to its students. In the sixth year, there will be sounds, all types of strange sounds in the in the sky, some of which is happening as we speak. In the seventh year, there will be wars. The seventh year is go magog. In the aftermath of the seventh year, meaning the eighth year, Bened will come, the Msiah will come and also talks about how the generation is going to be. It's going to be a full of immorality, lentiousness. The uh Torah scholars will be despised. Those that teach about fear of Hashem will be hated, mocked. The face of the generation will be like the face of the dog. There'll be almost no truth available. Truth will be absent. And anyone that does cha, the one that turns away from evil will be considered foolish in the eyes of people, wicked people. Of course, there's a lot more, but is telling us that many of the things we see in the world today match this end of days to the T. is telling us one of the signs is that time is faster. He saw it in his day. Needless to say, we see it in our day. But why? What is the purpose of speeding up time? If we're running out of time, shouldn't it slow down the time? Logically, that's what a person would think. Maybe things should happen slower. Rashi tells us that one of the things that speeds time is as what the prophet Jeremiah said, the suffering of people. Somebody does something bad, suffering for that will already happen in their life. The conclusive outcome of a person's wickedness will be suffering brought upon them in this world already. And one of the important reasons of why this is all happening is because since there's not much time left before Hashem ends this stage of the world, a lot has to happen during these next 215 years which include like I said the Msiah coming, the war of Gum Magog, resurrection of the dead. lot has to happen during these next 200 years before that 7,000th year. Which means that each person is going to be given their opportunity to complete their tikun to complete their mission in this world. That tikun may require more suffering, more reward, feelings of pleasure, feelings of pain. more payment for the merits that a person has acquired either in their current life or previous life that now will enable that person to do more good things or the opposite obligations because he did certain something bad. He wrote a heretical book now will have opportunities to do even more bad to increase the punishment that'll ultimately get. Everyone has to get paid before the store closes. And continues and says, "The truth of these matters are seen by every eye. Anyone that's paying attention in regards to the wheel of time, you can see how it's fastened by simply looking at financial matters of how people go from poor to rich or rich to poor. where in previous generations when someone accumulated wealth it would last for multiple generations two three generations. What do we see today says that wealth has become like the kikayon of yanavi. What is the kayon of Yunani? Everyone has heard the story of Yunah. The prophet told him, commanded him to go and tell the people of Ninve that if they do not change their acts, Hashem is going to destroy them. Now even though they were all Gentiles, Hashem wanted to send a message to them. Yunah did not want to do this. He was a Jewish prophet, a holy man, and he did not want to be the prophet for the gim. Like unfortunately many people instead of going to teach is rabbis teach, they go and focus only on Guim. There's no problem if you have a lecture like I'm having right now and Gim are watching the lectures and learning and improving themselves. Ask questions. is no problem. I have many many good uh students that are not Jewish. They're righteous no hides have abandoned idolatry. But for a rabbi to no longer teach Jews and only focus on non-Jews is completely forbidden. No great pekk in the history of mankind has ever said that a Jewish rabbi should focus only on non-Jews. And unfortunately there are some organizations like that. Hashem did not tell Yona to be the rabbi for the go forever. All he told him to do is just send one message. Tell them I'm going to destroy them if they don't do chuva. And even that Yona did not want to do. So much so that he was running away from it. And of course everyone knows the story. They the fish swallowed him and then he realized his mistake. He asked Hashem to forgive him. He did chuva while he was inside the fish. And the uh says that the fish that swallowed Yona was actually taking Yona initially to uh the Levitan. Why why you going to the Levitan? And the fish told Yona that well today I am uh it's my turn to be the Levi's lunch. She says, "What do you mean? I'm inside you. If he kills you, he kills me, too." She says, "Hey, listen. I didn't ask you to come inside. This is what it is. It's my turn. Everybody has a turn to be the lunch of the Levitan, the king of the ocean." But as soon as they got to the levatan says threatened the levatan with his kesh and said I'm a I'm a son of a when saw this he got so scared he ran away. So the fish that swallowed Yuna was very grateful and said to you now okay fine listen you saved my life. So uh because tomorrow somebody else is already in turn to be eaten by the levatan. So since you've done uh this this kindness for me you know if you want I'll show you around. What do you want to see? You want to you want me to show you the entrance to gum? Because one of the entrance gum is inside the ocean says you said sure. And he showed him this and he showed him other things. Midash goes into and goes into many different interesting things that you not saw in the ocean. But eventually after he did cha and Hashem forgave him. Hashem told the fish to spit him out and Yunak came out and then did the will of Hashem by going to the people of Ninve and telling them what Hashem said. 40 days more and Ninve will be overturned. When the people of Ninve heard this, the Torah says in chapter 3 of the book of Yuna, the people of Ninve believed in God and they proclaimed a fast and ded sackloth from their uh from their great to their small. everybody, the the people, the king, the uh children. When the matter reached the king of Ninve, which is a side note, was the midwash says he rose from his throne, removed his robe from upon himself and covered himself with sackcloth and sat on top of the ashes. Everybody did cha on the spot. So, this is good news. Hashem didn't tell Yah stay and teach them someh give them some. No, no, no. Just tell them the message and leave. Yah gave the message and then went to the outskirts of the city like a desert type of area and started crying asking for Hashem to kill him. Why? Why you why? Before we get to the why, Yuna was being burned in the desert and Hashem made a miracle where a certain plant, a huge plant called Kikon grew and covered him and this brought comfort to Yona. He wasn't suffering from the heat. But then that night, Hashem sent a worm to eat the roots of this kikayon. And by the next morning, the whole plant withered and died. When Yonah saw this, he started crying again to Hashem, asking him, "Please take my life." He asked for his soul's death and said, "Better is my death than my life." So Hashem says to you now, "Are you so deeply grieved over the Kikayon, what are you crying? You crying about the plant?" You said, "Yes, it's that's it. I I don't want to live anymore." Why? You see, Yah was a sadik. And Sadik understood how a kadesh akadesh who runs the world. He knew that it's much easier to get the goim to change their ways than it is to change Jewish people. Why? Because the evil inclination of the Jews is much stronger than the evil inclination of the goim. And the problem is you not thought that if I go and tell the goim they have to do chuva and they do it that's going to make the Jews look bad because we haven't done it yet because we're still doing some certain things that are not good. I don't want to make my brothers look bad because if he told them the going to do chuva and they do it he's not going to kill them. But if we didn't do chuva, despite me telling them to do chuva, despite other prophets telling him to do chuva, maybe he'll kill us. I don't want to get my brother and my sister, my cousin, my mother, my father, all these people, all my brothers and sisters to die because the goim look better temporarily than us. So that's why I don't want to help them. Let them help themselves. That was his logic. But the truth is wanted to teach yah mus and wanted to teach the Jews m and wanted to teach the goim that are watching this m what's the m says something very very important especially for the anti-semites that think that the Jewish Torah teaches against and hates the says in the Torah, in our prophets, the prophet Yon, the ultimate message, chapter 4, verse number 10, Hashem says to Yona, after he destroyed the Kikayon and Yonai is crying, wants to die again. You took pity on the kikayon for you, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow. It lived one night and perished after one night. And I shall I not take pity on Ninve, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 people who do not know their right hand from their left hand and many animals as well. in so many words says to Yuna, I understand that this is not the Jewish people, the chosen people, your brothers and sisters, but they're still my creation. They're still my creation. I still care about them. I still want them to be good. I still gave Noah Hide laws. So, I'm not telling you to go become the rabbi of the goim and abandon your brothers. But since you have the truth, certainly if you can help, an opportunity arises, go and do it. But don't forget your purpose. You thought you should be an extremist. And you know what? Don't talk to any goim. Don't help them. Don't say hello to them. No, no, no. Look, when push came to shove, you cared about the tree because it gave you comfort. because it helped you. You didn't make it. You didn't plant it. You didn't water it. But you cried about it like as if it was the loss of all your treasures. So what? You expect your creator not to care about his creation when it's much greater than the plant? A city with over 120,000 people, many animals. What do you want me to just let them destroy themselves? These people don't know their right from their left. They don't understand that Christianity is idolatry. They don't understand that Islam is a terrorizing religion. Literally teaches terrorism inside the Quran. They don't know. No, no one has told them. They haven't read. They just listen to some Joe Schmo that tells them what to do and they believe him because that's the way they were brought up. So I want to give them a chance. I want to give the world a chance. Give everybody a chance. Certainly am has the biggest purpose and has the biggest opportunity but they also have the biggest obligation but that doesn't mean that the rest of the world is just going to go to waste as the prophet says go twothirds of the world will be destroyed onethird will be left obviously there's not onethird of the world Jews only a small fraction of that is Jews even if every single Jew in the world that we know of 20 million Jews at at at best let's say all of them do chuba 20 million so obvious Obviously third of the world is a lot more than 20 million. You have nearly 8 billion people by the time uh literally you uh you blink it may end up be being 9 billion people. 6 billion people destroyed 3 billion left minus 3 billion minus 20 million you have 2.98 billion. And that's if every Jew does but in reality we see that some people are and they're never going to do chuva because they don't want they hate hem. Either way, who cares about the cares about one thing doesn't contradict the other. One thing doesn't contradict the other. But what a wants is for people to know about him and not some so-called messenger that pretended to be God or his mother said he was God and some prostitute said he's he he's God. He doesn't want you to invent new religions. He don't want you to start new books. No. No, no. He gave the Torah in Mount Si. This is what he wants. Nothing else. When a person understands this, they'll be able to understand other things. You see, is telling us that this Kayon This tree that was beautiful, glorious, brought shade and cover and comfort that soothed Yona. But for a moment is also what we should use as the analogy for wealth in this generation in this time where one day a person could be wealthy have major fortunes and the next day could lose everything. One day he doesn't have anything and the next day he's extraordinarily rich. We've seen this time and time again today, especially with the internet and how everything is digitized and so on. You see, literally how a person one day no one even knows he exists, including some of his neighbors. The next day he founds a company, develops an application, he has people throwing money at him. Eight, he's worth eight, 10, 15 billion dollars. 6 months ago, a year ago, he wasn't even able to pay his rent. Now billions of dollars people are throwing at him. You look at some of the people the famous wealthy people in the world major investors. In the last couple of months there's been major turmoil in the markets world markets. Initially the market dropped nearly 30% 40%. In some cases some stocks dropped 50 60%. So people would report, oh look, this guy lost $10 billion in the last uh two weeks. This guy lost $3 billion in the last 24 hours. This guy lost5 billion. Huge fortunes. Huge fortunes were erased. Trillions of dollars were erased, evaporated in an instant. Much of it has recovered. Not all but needless to say you see how in the last 10 years major fortunes were accumulated by nobodies that of yesterday and became somebody today. Major fortunes were lost. Companies like Lehman Brothers Bear Sterns that were over a hundred years old made billions of dollars for themselves for investors evaporated. No one even remembers him other than a nightmare. Major fortunes lost, major fortunes made, new faces, but all seems like it's overnight. In the last 15 years, you had major bull markets, crisis, par, you know, the the the uh the uh the plague that we had and all the the different things that revolved around it. All the conspiracies, all the scams, the scandals, the opportunities for thieves to steal money from governments. Then you had new innovations, technological revolutions, major wars, terrorism. Israel realized they're not as strong or secure as they thought. Where a bunch of degenerate monsters with flipflops murdered thousands without even anyone being able to defend themselves. Till this day, we're fighting the same losing battle, celebrating each person we could get out of the hostage situation. In the beginning, everyone said never again. How could this be? Shortly thereafter, everyone became even more anti-Semitic than they have been in the last 80 years. Major things change. says, "You can see the hand of your own eyes. Look at what's happening. Things that used to take a very long time to go to war to to have peace used to take a long time. Today, one, two, three. India and Pakistan declared war on each other. Then later in the day, this is just this past week. Later in a day declared peace, no more war. Later in the same day, declared war again. War, peace, and war all in the same day, 24 hours. And who is better than Donald Trump to be the poster boy for the times of how the wheel of time is moving. Every single day there is a new headline of some major policy change, some major new deal, some major new disaster with his name on it. One day everything is great. He's the new leader. Next day we're going to give new laws, new tariffs on every single country. 100% 150%. Market crashes. Shortly thereafter, ah no, by the way, I was just kidding about the tariffs. We're going to make some deals. We're uh going to go back to what we were, but we're going to make it seem as if it's a new deal. One day he says, "We're going to destroy Gaza. These people are terrorists." Next day, yeah, these people uh were working things out. They seem like nice people. One day, the Houthis, they're our enemies. Next day, these are good people. Nice. Very uh very decent. One day we're going to destroy Iran. They can't have nuclear weapons. Next day make a good deal with Iran. They can stay with whatever they have. No problem. One day we're Israel's best friend. next day gives Israel the worst possible conditions we could ever imagine while giving favorable terms to their enemies Iran, Gaza, and all of the other terrorizing countries. Literally, not even a month passes for you to digest the news. In the old days, people knew that the news in the newspaper is good for a month. How would they know? Simple. In the old days, they used to use the newspapers after people read them and used them or whatever. They would reuse the newspapers to cover the fish and sell the fish in the market inside the newspapers. This, by the way, as a side note, was one of the ways that the zados was discovered. the fool that uh found it and thought that it's a newspaper, so he just covered his fish with it. When one of the Jewish scholars saw this, he wanted the rest of the pages. Gave him a bunch of money to give him the rest of the pages. But anyway, people would reuse the newspapers, unfold, put the fish aside, and then read what's on the paper. What read on on on the paper, and it was still relevant. Why? Time was moving slowly. Okay, so a month ago there was a war. Okay, there's probably still a war now. Oh, there was a peace. There's still peace now. Oh, there's a new rule. The rule now. Today, the newspaper you buy in the morning is already useless by the afternoon. The news you read in the morning is literally absolutely useless by the next day. New policies, new terms, new everything is fast forward. Says this is all due to fastforwarding the wheel of time in order to prepare the store to close. As there's a parable in the where there's a famous story says where there was one time store selling groceries and I remember this growing up in Israel it was like that we used to go to the store the owner's name was Rafi everybody knew Rafi And I went to Rafi. Anytime we need something, we go to Rafi and uh if we didn't have any money, we just tell him, "Put it on the tab." And Rafi had little notebook. You'd write down how much you spent. And uh sometimes you'd have the people sign it, sometimes no, but depending on who it was. After a while, you have to pay him. And this is the way it was not just with Rafi. This was the way this was common in the old days. Somebody had a grocery says grocery and people would buy and there was one guy that would come to the store and he would buy a lot of stuff lots and lots of stuff shea and put on the tab and every few months he'd pay it off for years. for years he's paying it off and accumulating again. Buys for a month, two months, three months, four months, five months, all on the tab. And then after five, six months comes tells Rafi, "Here you go. How much I owe you? 15, 20,000. Here you go." One day says the person comes to the store and he does the usual. Starts emptying out the shelves, buying a bunch of stuff. When he brings it to the counter, the clerk totals up everything, tells him, "Okay, this is the bill." He goes, "Okay, just put it on the tab." Click says, "No, no, no more tab. You have to pay cash today." What? What? What do you mean? I've been doing this with you for 20 years. Come here, tab. I always pay. I never give you problems. No, no, no. It's not that you give me problems. It's just that I'm closing the store today. That's it. Shutting down the store. I'm retiring. I'm finished. So, there's no more buy today, pay me in 60 days. Buy today, pay me 90 days. No, no. Today's the last day. You have to pay cash. Now you see this is what's happening in the world is preparing the world for the last stage for the last minute for the last hour. and he's speeding up all the things that are happening in the world in order to help people do chuva fulfill their tikun. Sometimes there was a person that was decreed that he'll have a feeling of being rich in his life because he did something good at some point. So, Hashem makes that person do something that he didn't even realize is going to be that good. And all of a sudden, he becomes a multi-millionaire, billionaire, buying houses, buying buildings on TV. Everyone respects him, thinks he's a genius, and before you know it, he thinks he's going to have more money for the next hundred years. makes a few moves, everything works out until it doesn't. And he loses all of his fortune much faster than he gained it. Why? The decree was for him to feel rich for a specific amount of time. Sometimes that's a lifetime, 70 years. Sometimes it's 70 days, seven years. Different amount of time for each person. Other times he can make a fortune, feel rich and then lose a bunch and then recover. Why? Hashem wanted him to feel poor again because that was also part of the decree. And then help him recover again. That happened many times also. But everything happens fast. In his 20s he's a millionaire, 30s poverty, 40s millionaire. All things that usually would take generations, take lifetimes. The billionaires of the previous generation literally worked their entire life, 30, 40 years to achieve what they achieved. Today, it's literally you have 20 year olds, 20 year olds that are achieving these major things. Why? Hashem is speeding up everything. Hashem is speeding up everything. Finalizes the section by saying all of this wealth, Hashem is showing it to you, moving in fast motion to remind you of the story that's in the Torah of the Kikayun. It's all an illusion. It's all temporary. One day here, one day is gone. The point of the lesson is to show you that times have changed and you're running out of time. Look at what happens with the nations. He says the control of countries is changing rapidly. World War I, Germany declared war against the world. There wasn't even enough time for them to recover. It seemed they went under major crisis. Literally, their their their currency became absolutely worthless and they already built themselves back up to declare World War II. media controls for countries, for empires, gone. The Turkish Empire ruled the world for years. Who even knows of the Turkish Empire today? Great Britain was called Great Britain because they literally had major control of the world. Now it's just England. Now it's Yeah, they're uh a world power because they're friends with America. I mean, because they're world power somehow. No one is impressed like they were in the past. Major control. America was a nobody before the wars. Before World War I, before World War II, America wasn't the America of today. It was only after new negotiations and deals they made with Saudi Arabia, with the UK, with a few countries, some financial, some for oil, different things they did. And most critically, the major development of their weapons. They were a weapon empire. They were able to literally produce more ships in one year during the war than they can ship in 10 years today. The ship building ability of the United States today is not even onetenth of what it used to be a 100 years ago. They're much more powerful today, but 100 years ago their produ productivity was much greater. Either way, before the wars, before all this, nobody thought that much of America. They were a relatively new country. They're only a couple hundred years old. Back then, they were less 100 years old, 150 years old. Things changed. says, "All of this is to show you that there is there is a decree, a horrible decree in the world that has to do with AmI." He uses the euphemism haters of of Israel which really means is because the purpose of the world can only be achieved by am is everyone has a purpose. Everyone can achieve their purpose individually. But in order for the Torah to be fulfilled, for the Mashiach to come, for the salvation, it's now what is this in page 41, there's a story of again Ravkina, but this time an angel comes comes toina and rebukes him because he was wearing a garment that was exempt from putting on it. It had round corners so he didn't have to put tit on it. So the angel rebuked him. How are you not wearing tit right now? You're wearing a garment. It doesn't have to wear tit of katina says well the tit only has to be worn if there's four corners. I don't have four corners. So what's the problem? What you get punished for possibly avoiding a positive commandment. It's not like where you're a Jew is obligated to late feline every day except Shabbat and holidays. you only have to wear a tit which is these strings. If you have a garment that has four corners. So Afkina says what? You get punished if I don't wear tit. No, it's it's a I don't have four corners. The corners are round. The angel says tokina. Yes, you get punished for not wearing tit during divine times of wrath. The times of divine wrath. There is a punishment for this. Further in the same page 43b teaches that the punishment for not wearing the white strings of the tit is actually more severe than not wearing why because while may not be available making you ones making you pretty much someone that can't fulfill it the white seat seat is always available. So choosing not to wear the white shows that you don't like the mitzvah. You have contempt for the mitzvah. And the also says that during times of this this times of divine wrath, the first people that will be punished are those who don't wear tit where even though technically you're only required to wear tit if you have a four cornered garment. During the times of judgment, those who actively avoided a mitzvah by not wearing a four corner garment are punished first because they showed arrogance at their spiritual situation as if they don't need another mitzvah when they could have done it thinking that they have enough merits without this mitzvah. So the teaches us not only about tit and the importance of wearing tit whether you like it or not whether it's hot or not hot doesn't make a difference but also teaches us about these times of harsh decrees says we are in the end of days which is a time of harsh decrees. There are certainly going to be times we are better than others, but in general we are at a time of harsh decrees. And therefore the and therefore the danger for us to be vomited from the land meaning tragedies happening happenings in the world are much closer much more common than in the previous generations. Why? Hashem is closing the store. He's about to bring Msiah. The ultimate salvation is coming for those that are righteous, that have done chuva. And the ultimate punishment is coming for those that don't. So in one end, Hashem is fast forwarding everything. Whatever bills have to be paid, he's paying them. Somebody, this guy deserves a reward in this temporary world. Give it to him. Make him a millionaire. Make him this. Make him that. She deserves something for something good she did. No problem. Make her beautiful. Make her marry a rich person or she's rich. Whatever it is, give it to them. Oh, this guy deserves suffering. Okay. Give him suffering, whatever it is. And then he's going to go to heaven if he's righteous. Everybody's getting whatever they can in this temporary world. Why? All of the small bills have to be paid before The final totality is calculated. So everything is fast forward. Everything is faster. And the way things look right now, that speed is only going to be magnified. With the new technological innovations, it's easy to understand how everything will be faster. A person that has a business today if they do not adjust themselves and their business to adapt to the times add the different artificial intelligence tools, different marketing tools, different uh accounting whatever it is to their business. If they don't add it, they're simply going to become like an obsolete business. It's like the stores that took upon themselves to digitize themselves and going to cash registers that were digital versus those that were still doing everything with a pen and paper. Those that were digital ended up winning. It's the same concept for how people adapted to the computer age, the internet. Those that thought the internet is a joke. Who's going to order books from the internet? Who's going to order their boat from the internet? Who's going to order cars from the internet? No, I'm still going to stay in my place. Guess what? Most of those places are out of business now. There's no such thing as not having a website. There's no such thing as not having a functioning technology, and you're still in business for a long time. Same concept with what's happening now. In fact, one of the things that's happening is that it's not it's not like the cash register or uh the uh some of the other uh advancement. This is in so many words tools that are going to make each business either function better or simply not be seen by their audience because their competitors are doing it. Things are moving much faster in that direction. Major corporations are changing themselves from within. Insurance companies like AIG literally revamped the entire multi multi-billion dollar company by adapting all types of new artificial intelligence to make their insurance more profitable. Whether it's the applications for new policies or it's the uh determining of what type of uh payouts to give or a bunch of other things in between. Everyone knows the insurance industry is usually the slowest to move. But things are changing. But that's not it. You see the world geopolitical issues every other day. It seems like there's a new war being declared. You had the war with Russia and uh Ukraine. Pretty much everyone thought that Russia and Ukraine, the war is going to last maybe maybe a week. Maybe a week. It's been going on for years already. How? the little Nazis from Ukraine led by a a picolus intermar Jew who hates Jews. Apparently, Hashem wants him to suffer but not be destroyed yet. Why? He gave them the wherewithal to do something new. Use drones made by regular people, not even major corporations. use drones as the new army, something the world hasn't seen, only talked about over the last few decades. And literally, they've been surviving one of the world powers with their pieces of plastic and metal drones, tiny little drones. That's how they're still alive. How long, longer, who knows? But the point is is that this war shouldn't have lasted more than a week. With the major power of of of Russia, Ukraine should have uh should have said, "I'm sorry for even bothering you." But you see how that happened. At one end, in the beginning, everyone was against, then at four, then against again. In the meantime, you had obviously the war in Israel. Then you have the wars Pakistan and India. Then you have other countries either fighting each other or also fighting Israel also fighting all types of things. And then the biggest news in the last couple of months has been the acknowledgment of many major American leaders of corporations of politics and so on in so many words realizing that war with China is only a matter of time. Even though in the last 24 48 hours it seems like they've become friends again. Don't think for a moment that the opinions have changed. Everyone views China as an enemy now because they've shown their colors have really uh in the last few years that a lot of people didn't realize they had. A lot of major corporations are have exited doing business in China because they realize that by going to China, yes, you're making a bunch of money, but the price you pay for it is that your everything will be stolen in the end. Your intellectual property, this that. So this was the reason behind why Trump was so harsh on them and why the negotiations are certainly not over. In so many words, everyone is saying, "Listen, America has to prepare themselves for a war with China within the next 5 years, maybe 10." That's a world war. That's a world war. And you see that Iran, no matter what anybody says about them, they're the most persistent villains on the planet, care less about what everybody says. Every day they talk about destruction of their enemies, Israel, America, and pretty much anyone that doesn't agree with their terrorism. Every day they're declaring, "Yeah, today is going to be the day we're going to destroy the world." And in fact, that's what the Midash says. That's what the mid says that first there's going to be a negotiation between the king of pas which is Iran will come to the king of adom negotiate agree initially and then go back and destroy the world this is something that seems like it's literally could be happening any day with the way the the world is going on one end you're seeing people prospering on the other end you're seeing the other side where destruction is around the corner now if you remember the said in mashia is not going to come until everyone loses their money where everyone is going to be poor how could that possibly be one of the things that you get to see I guess especially if you're a little distant from the picture is on one end, there's a few things I learned in the last few months. One, anyone watching the news is simply wasting their time because the newscasters are completely oblivious to anything useful aside from things you could find out on your own. They could only tell you about things that happened. As far as their projections, their predictions, their their their sense of uh understanding of what is actually going on, they're all clueless as can possibly I think more clueless than the average person. You see that there is major possibilities for great things to happen on a positive event. development, productivity, product, productivity, uh, building new on, another end you're seeing that literally the end of the world could be there. A third end that only a few are really considering is that it could all happen at the same time. How? In the last few years, we've talked about the predatory business of cash advance and how these industry lends the average person, average small business money with high interest and destroys them, destroys the business. We've talked about this. In the same time frame there was sort of a rebirth of another part of the credit industry called private credit. Now this private credit I mean has pretty much existed for for forever practically but it became really big in the last let's say decade or so. And in so many words, the difference between that and what has been the norm is that in the past, if you wanted to borrow money, you have to borrow from a bank. And they have their policies, their regulations and fractioning system and so on. But after the market crisis of 2008, things changed and private credit in so many words came and made investments where they would get investors, billions of dollars from investors, and lend that money out to major companies, businesses, and so on and made credit more readily available to certain types of customers, certain types of people without having all the bank regulations and so on. Now on the good end, this is helping certain companies flourish, certain companies have easier access to credit. The same concept goes with digital currency. Digital currency was a joke 10 years ago. Somebody bought a pizza with a bitcoin. I know he regrets that today because that those bitcoins that he spent are worth literally hundreds of millions of dollars today if he would have kept them. But today many people have gone into the digital currency. A lot of regular people and not just Bitcoin but many others most of which are a scam literally are outright scam. People are creating stuff that is scamming people and ripping people off. But you see a bunch of people making small fortunes overnight by scamming people in public without regulation without anything. where in so many words what I'm trying to tell you is that in the last decade what has happened is this digitization of currency in every aspect where everyone in the world for the first time ever pretty much is part of the world economic system. In the past, there's always been a segment of people that are not a huge segment of people that are not. People major poverty, people in third world countries, people uh that you know, but today you go to Africa, they have some applications for transferring money that are more advanced than even America. People don't even use cash anymore. They literally they all trade with their phones, exchanging money from one phone to the other. Certain countries have literally much more advanced stuff than than the first world. But the point is that everybody is part of this digital system, this digital currency, whether it be dollar or cryptocurrency or whatever it is. On top of that, this give people much more ready access to borrowing money. This also this new private credit is giving major corporations access much more readily access to borrowing money. The amount of money that's being borrowed today cannot compare to any other time in history including the wars including the pandemics including the financial crisises. So the level of debt that the private consumer and company has is so many words is assuming things have to continue being good because the moment things change it'll be a domino effect unlike any other thing in in history. Because now when you had a financial crisis and the banks failed, the government can save the banks. But when you have banks fail, but also major investors fail because their money is tied up in credit that they can't get back anymore. If the economy collapses and people and comp major corporations start defaulting, it starts a domino effect unlike anything else we've ever seen before. This also affects the digitization of currency that has no intrinsic value. The person that has one Bitcoin today that's worth $100,000 literally could wake up the next day and that $100,000 is worth zero or it's worth $1 because simply nobody wants to buy it. Not because anything changed with the technology. Certainly people are saying it's going to be 2 million and two billion and then there's only 20 million available. All that all those nonsense. Bottom line is it all depends on somebody else that's going to be willing to buy it. The moment that market dries up for whatever reason or another, that digital currency is becomes no different than all of the other fake digital currency that is in the market and goes into the market every day. These meme coins, these other uh uh fake coins that are Ponzi schemes. Literally every single day there's a new one that's fake that they launch it, they say, "Yes, there's $100 million in there of uh celebrities and and rich people." People buy into it. It inflates it to $200 million. People think they're they found the next big thing and the real sponsors, the real scammers behind it, sell everything that they have and literally within the same 24 hours, the thing drops 99%. It becomes worthless and never recovers again. If this was done in the stock market, people be going to jail. In the cryptocurrency, it's pretty much open season for scams. So in so many words why does it collapse? Because the seller no longer has a buyer. So now that the world all dep has been structured in such a way that everything is digital everything is on credit everything is in everyone is involved in a much larger capacity than any other time in history. On one hand, it subjects the world to a major growth if all works out. If the new technology and innovations produce more than what they were able to produce before in much bigger levels, in much more profitable levels and so on. But if there's a wrench that's thrown into the equation where there is a major war, a major crisis, a major black swan that no one expected like we saw sort of in the last couple of months. The bubble bursting is not like is not going to be like what we saw in the year 2000. It's not going to be like what we saw in 2007 2008 real estate crisis which is by the way as a side note already has been going through a major crisis where there's literally seems like there's more empty office buildings than there are full ones. People are simply deliluding themselves holding on to real estate because they think it's going to turn around. Now if you're buying because you need then it doesn't matter what the value is. If you're buying because you expect to need or you think think it's going to be better then you should think twice. Why? Because that is already one of the part of the domino that is already cracking. Everyone is assuming that the price of real estate will continue to increase even though the financials no longer make sense like they did a few years ago because interest rates have gone up because the the uh occupancies have changed because of the digit digitization of the world because of how people work from home and so on and so forth. In so many words, what I'm trying to tell you is that the world is now perfectly positioned to fast forward a major boom where things go up. People become even richer than what they are right now. People produce a million times more than what they produce now. companies grow a whole lot more than they ever did before until the show stops. And when that show stops, it won't be a crisis. It'll be a complete and total collapse. Perhaps even similar to what the Gar is predicting and telling us it's going to happen before Mashiah comes. Again, I have no idea whether this is going to be tomorrow, a year from now, 10 years from now. Only who knows that. Certainly, there's time to do good. There's times to benefit. But to spend your entire life building something that's temporary is telling you even if you take advantage and piggy back off of this next big growth potential possibly. Know this. It's just like the kikayon. It's an illusion. You won't have anything left in the end. The only thing that you're going to have left is what Torah and good deeds you'd have because you could already see a footsteps in the creation of how everything is being magnified. Everything is being fast forwarded. Everything is being united and synchronized in such a way that for the first time in history, you can clearly see how everything can collapse without any exceptions. In the past, there's always been exceptions, pockets that were disconnected. You weren't in the real estate market, okay? So, you were protected. You weren't in the stock market, so you were protected. You weren't in America, so you were protected. You weren't in Israel, you were protected. There's there always been different thing exceptions to the rule. So when you have a kadu literally give people the ability the wherewithal to build and magnify things. On one end it's to their benefit to have certain joy of the world. But that's only a small aspect of it. The bigger part of it is because he's telling you and fast forward everything in order to pay whatever has to be paid, whatever reward has to be rewarded for whoever is not going to be here to see the real show, to see the real reward. So if you want to spend your time and efforts and resources accumulating more kikayon trees, go ahead. But if you want to take those kikon trees or at least part of them and invest them into things that will actually last beyond the next crisis. Build a co build a people to do chuva. build yourself in learning all of the above, then you're actually using this gift that Hashem is giving us for what you're supposed to. Because just like we have this major growth and development in the world and fast forwarding of everything that I mentioned, you're also seeing that doing kiru has changed. The z says that it's praiseworthy for a person to spend his entire life of 70 years chasing after one person to help him do chuva. The zah wasn't uh just throwing 70 years. It was literally it took a long time to convince people in the past. Maybe not 70 years, but certainly some people literally you could talk to them for a few years before they actually change. That's changed now. You could literally have somebody watch a curse you out, come back again the next time, but this time he's not cursing you. Come back again the third time. This time he actually said a nice comment. Come back again. By the fourth lecture, he already became a fan. By the fifth lecture, he writes you, "Rabbi, you changed my life. I've changed everything. He came to you like as if you are uh trying to kill him." By the fifth lecture, you're the best thing in the world. You're his personal Mashiach. You're seeing that people can transform their life, abandon idolatry, abandon heresy, abandon immorality, abandon bad relationships, abandon anything that's against Hashem. Literally after getting a message in a few minutes, in a few hours, you literally see people transform their life. You see people that do chuva. In the past, it would be a struggle just to get the guy to go to school a few times a day. It was a struggle to get the guy to read a book. Today you have some ballet chuva that literally have the fastforward speed button on where only a couple years after they started doing chuva they already completed the shots. They're already learning seriously five six seven hours a day even though they work full-time. You already see people transforming themselves in a very short period of time and achieve great milestones in a short period of time. So just like everything on the negative end on the uh you know good on the financial on the a geopolitical all of that has been sped up. Also the world of Kiru has sped up where the souls of each person is now programmed in such a way where they're able to receive the truth and accept or reject it. much quicker. On the other hand, it's also opp works the opposite way where a person could be religious and then just abandon everything just like that. Just like we last week, I got horrible news about somebody that did Chuva a few years ago. Not not my bala, not my student, but somebody I knew that from the exterior this person looked like the next Mosheu beard this that said he was learning. I already knew there was a problem with him because when I spoke to him and I asked him who's your rabbi because he says he watches my lectures good if you want any guidance anything no problem but ask your rabbi first who's your rabbi he said no I don't have a rabbi already then I knew this guy is at risk why a Judah does not have a rabbi does not have direction you don't have direction it's only a matter of time before you go into the wrong street and get lost And unfortunately this guy looked religious, looked inspiring, looked good, looked looked looked looked. But apparently something happened. He decided to abandon everything, shave his beard, take off the keepa, no more synagogue, no more this, no more nothing. Literally go back to being a What a now I know that he'll come back on his knees. He's gonna come back. The problem is that it's gonna hurt the next time. The first time you do chuva, the first time you come back to who helps you who helps you? He opens up your heart and you're able to receive the message and you're able to change. Fast forward change. But if you leave Hashem, the next time is not so much fun. The next time is usually after Hashem smacks you in the face a few times. It's after you lose. It's after you suffer. It's after pain. It's after agony. It's after you realize, "Oh yeah, how could I leave Hashem? I'm now in the middle of lava. I'm burning. It's painful. Who can save me? The money can't save me. My friends can't save me. My cousin can't save me. My wife can't save me. My brother can't save me. Who can save me? You cry toad because who else you going to cry to? And says, "Yeah, I'm still here. I'm still here. Hashem, take me out of the fire." And even if Hashem takes the person out of the fire, it still hurts because they got burned and it hurts for a while. So I have no doubt in my mind that he and all the other people that have gone off the will at some point get the clear understanding that they have to come back home and some of them will succeed in coming back home. But they'll have to come back home on their knees. They'll have to come back home after they realize they are in a dead end street with their current path. In the past that could have taken a whole life person does cha person follows everything's good but 20 years old decides to leave it you could wait for this guy 30 40 years before he comes back he sees you says yeah rabbi I haven't put on in 30 years all right so you're back today it's not like that today a person goes off don't be surprised if you see back in the sh within a one or two years or even one or two months. But next time he comes with a cast. Next time he comes with a broken leg. Next time he comes with a broken bank account. Next time he comes with a broken marriage. Next time he comes with a lot of tears because death in the family. Next time he comes, he comes on his knees and he realizes what did I do to myself? And the next time to go back to the same level of connection with is much more difficult. Why? He doesn't have the same. So to learn when you were able to learn in the beginning four, five, six, 10 hours. Now you're lucky if you're able to do four, five, six minutes before you have some type of distraction. Why? You abandon Hashem coming back. You have to pay your bill. Eventually you could go to high levels even after you come back, but it's much harder. Either way, the path has been fast forwarded. It's the same path. It just happens in less time. both to do chuva and go after and do chuva again. Why as said in the name of the nothing new under the sun. The only difference in our times and the previous times is that Hashem fast forwarded the wheel of time where the same things that used to take hundreds of years now are happening in much less time. The deeds of people have not changed. It's just the outcome for the actions. those come faster. If somebody does good, Hashem will make sure they will see the benefits to it both in this world and the next. But if somebody goes against Hashem, as Jeremiah the prophet said, the evil you're doing will bring you suffering. And Rashi clarifies that the conclusive outcome of wickedness is simply going to be suffering that's brought upon the person and that suffering now comes faster. Even if you were billionaire yesterday, don't be surprised if you become broke a week later. Even if you are on top, don't be surprised if you lose. Why? You going against Hashem? All bets are off. So this is something you can hear 50 times and understand it even better each time because you have living images of all of this, a visual of all of this in your day-to-day life. You look around the world right now, you'll see everything that said nearly a hundred years ago in your life today. And you'll see that even the biggest atheists will start changing one after another and become more and more indecisive as far as what they believe in because now it is no longer difficult to believe in Hashem. It's no longer to believe that there is a creator to the world. Now it's just a matter of choice. Do you want to believe in God? Because if you do, you're subject to his laws. You're subject to what he said. If you don't, you better have a good reason because your conscience will eat you up much worse now than ever did before because it's much clearer that there is a creator and it's much clear that the creator is the one and only creator, the God of Israel. Them people wake up, realize it, act upon it, take advantage of the opportunities for whatever time we have left in this world with whatever resources people have. Stop wasting your efforts on building a temporary castle. Start using this efforts to help people do chuva, to help the Torah get greater, because that's the only thing that's going to be here beyond this next chapter that we're in. However long we have left, whether it be a year or 10 years or whoever it is, doesn't really make a difference. What you build in this world is what you could take. It's what you could leave in this world. Unless it's if you take that is something you could take beyond this world and we all accumulate as much of that as we possibly can.
