Secret of the End of Days - Ari Abramowitz: The Land of Israel Fellowship

then Jacob called his sons and said assemble yourselves and I will tell you what will befall you in the end of days gather yourselves and listen oh sons of Jacob and listen to Israel your father our sages teach that what what what the text is clearly indicating there that Jacob's intention was to reveal to his sons the way Redemption would unfold in the future and it's our understanding that Hashem all of a sudden hid this information from him and therefore he proceeded this is the way I always thought of it he the information was just obvious he wasn't able to see it and so therefore he proceeded instead to bless his son but a young man from here in Judea and from a fra named Elon fedman he made a suggestion that I found really beautiful he said that Yakov was conveying to his sons the way that Redemption would unfold by blessing him in the way that he did when Jacob blessed his Sons by identifying and focusing on each one of their individual talents and strengths he was revealing that Redemption would Blossom when each son when each tribe would manifest their individual talents their god-given gifts that each one of them uniquely was given from Hashem for the greater good of the nation as a whole right if naali were blessed to be a lion of fierceness and Leadership if T got judah's blessing it wouldn't have been a blessing for him it's only a blessing when bestowed upon Judah who has that latent potential of that quality dormant within him but it would seem like each tribe having the room to you know fully and uniquely Express their special gifts that would be a great blessing for the nation of Israel but why was this the answer of how all of redemption would unfold for all of mankind right so so I think the answer is that what happens within the nation of Israel is a microcosm of what will unfold through all of mankind for just as the children of Israel the kohanim the priests have a have have a role in blessing the nation we as the nation of Israel I say this every week we are in amim We're a nation of priests for all of humanity and so when the nation of Israel is able to unify and express ourselves on a national level not only you know not not by by nullifying each other or forcing each other to conform to exactly the way we believe in every way but by allowing by having the humility to allow that which is unique about each one of the tribes to shine forth when Israel is able to do that mankind as a whole will follow and that is the role our sages teach of Messiah of the Messiah the Messiah will be the ultimate the ultimate conductor just like a conductor in a symphony he will have the eyes and the wisdom to see the unique strengths of each individual nation and bless them all to manifest those strengths in those gifts to empower them to harness the gifts Hashem has bestowed upon each and every one of them onto each Nation for the welfare and goodness of all of mankind and we are approaching these times right now [Music]
