Stop Waiting for the Messiah & Bring It! - Rabbi Yitzchak Botton

what is stopping msia from coming why is msia not here I think I have an answer to this question I think I have figured out why mhia is not here what's stopping M from coming how do we want God to relate to us we're talking the singular how do I want Hashem to relate to me me first B mikdash the three worst sins that we could possibly commit and we're taught that the entire nation was guilty on some level either by condoning or accepting letting it happen these three worse terrible sins how long was the galut as a result of that 70 did I hear what exactly oh perfect I'm glad you got that 70 years the second galut was because of baseless hatred which particular a was that it wasn't it wasn't and it wasn't murder how many years are we in galal for the second a 2000 2,000 plus years but for the worst since we can imagine we were we were only in G for 70 years so now I'm not sure why everyone has not figured this out and I'm not really sure why there are so many shim online today that speak about you know all of the terrible sins that the Jewish people are doing and not enough online talking about and of course the reverse we want to be positive what's the positive way of saying baseless love I want to share with you a story tonight I think it's a great story I actually made it up now I'll be honest with you I love the idea of being able to make up your own story because you're in total control of what happened in such a story unlike reality because reality you're not in so much control of you know I wanted to be slim and handsome and in the end I'm just handsome imagine the moment we've all been waiting for which moment is that who's been mashiach exactly mashia the moment that we've been waiting for 2,000 years imagine we were Maring to have that moment happen right now and of course so we got the whatsapps flying around guess what WhatsApp WhatsApp mhia here now does Facebook still like you know do these things is Facebook still in or it's out Myspace so you get the AOL the MySpace I'm an oldfashioned guy so we'll get the Facebook you know you might even get Googling on this because they're only worth it like a couple of billion dollars couple hundred billion dollars so you got Google Facebook WhatsApp Twitter Twitter I think Twitter's pretty big right now doesn't doesn't the the president use Twitter a lot they're all sending messages MH party tonight at 8 o' unbelievable Rabbi is that not unbelievable I'm trying huh I'm working on where's your amuna mashiach is here you got to believe it it's on Facebook Twitter they're all saying it Messiah party tonight at 8 o' the problem is like my posts nobody's paying attention you know how many times can you like your own post I mean I've been trying to get the likes up and it just doesn't not going anywhere one huh like it one time no I wanted to look like everybody likes it so I like it over and over again then you need to make a Twitter and then say that Everyone likes this got it now I'm all set thank you what's your name Benin Benyamin has set me straight got to make a Twitter so now I got to explain to my wife why a teacher or and Rabbi sort of has to make a now a Twitter account don't do it I mean not based off would you make up your mind are you confus when I am confused that's why I'm here you know what I've been here for 10 years I'm still confused so if you're looking to get clarity you're in the right place all right so back to the story Twitter Google AOL is that still around never mind for AOL Instagram Snapchat Instagram Snapchat ticktock Bing Bang Boom smoke signal you know what is there a Bing Bang Boom place yet I'm making the Bing Bang Boom Bing Bang Boom says mesia is here tonight 8 o'cl party so unfortunately people are just so busy because there's so much out there today with this social media so of course I heard the news somehow because my student told me who has a smartphone I don't have a smartphone not in yiva at least and so I heard about Mish coming somehow through my smartphone at home and so I'm at the Party 8 o00 I come with my suit My Thai because of course I'm ashkanazi for this story and I'm looking at the clock it's 8 o' I'm sitting there with a bunch of other nerds and because we got nothing else to do and we're like okay where where's mashia when is this part already starting enough it's already 8:30 8 8:32 yish what's going on we said M party tonight at 8 of course being the Mish party Hashem was there and believe it or not he was listening to to my thoughts and I guess some other people think of the same thing and all of a sudden this voice just comes out and says you think I'm starting the party of Messiah and all my children are not hearing yet there's a msia party he's here G is just at the doorsteps it's G time already what's stopping mashia what's stopping the party from being started so a few of us religious guys with big beards are there right and we're saying okay we're here we follow the Mitzvah when is mhia coming why is mhia here and Hashem says you think I'm starting my party and my children are not all here when all my children will be here that's a time to celebrate that's a time to start the mhia party go back out there and get them and I'll take it one step further how could you think about starting a party and your brothers and sisters are not here and now we come back to the beginning and now I get serious we started with what's stopping mashiah from coming we asked how should God relate to us what kind of judgment do we deserve so here's my insight here's what came to me today you want God to be nice you want God to love you you want God to treat you as a son how do you treat his other children do you treat them like brothers do you treat them like a brother then maybe you deserve for Hashem to treat you like a son but if you got no time for them hashem's other children then why should Hashem have time for you why should he bring mhia what's stopping mhia from coming I got the answer simple simple to say but almost impossible to do have a heart feel the other person don't just look at him feel him can you feel the person next to you how about a person you don't know starving sad depressed on medication on drugs maybe can you feel him or you're too busy when we see the other person as our brother when we feel that he's a part of us you're gonna come to the party of mhia and your left hand is missing no you want your left hand with you he's a part of you you're a part of him what's stopping mhia bottom line I don't have to learn all of Shas which I'll admit I haven't yet in a Gil maybe I did so maybe I actually do know all of Shas what's stopping mhia coming it's not Jewish philosophy it's not Jewish mysticism it's caring and feeling and making time and even willing to be uncomfortable getting into your personal space for the sake of another when we do that Hashem will do that for us because ultimately he's the father we're the children we have brothers and sisters and if I can stop thinking about only me and I can think about my brother and sister and cousin and so on then Hashem will definitely think about me and us and all of us I'm not a preacher although I did a good job but I'm not a preacher and I said already that it's simple simple the solution is simple but actualizing it and doing it is almost impossible almost we can do it we can slow down the Motions we can slow down the the the the hustle and bustle of life and create enough time for someone else we can do it we can do it and when we do it mashiach will be here
