Succos - Gog Umagog Brings Order

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with hhm's never running assistance in Israel 2024 this week we have the holiday of sukus and we don't have any pares we will finish the Torah next week I'd like to share with you a thought about sukus and teach you a very deep Insight related to the concept of G which is the war of Armageddon which occurs at the end of time before Messiah comes there are three different Wars of go not going to get into that but why am I going to talk about go the reason I'm going to talk about goog is because we find that it's very much related to the holiday of sukus we're going to try to explore and understand why is it related to the holiday of of sukus the the most apparent way that we see that this is true is because that all suus the Tas that we read the first one that we read is from zakar chapter the four the the I'm sorry yal the 14th chapter of zakar which speaks about the Advent of the of that time it speaks about the war of gag speaks about the aftermath of this Great War and it speaks about it speaks about the fact that on sukus the nations of the world after they've been defeated by the Jewish people in the war of go the nations of the world will come on sukus to celebrate with the Jewish people and whoever doesn't come they won't have rain there'll be AA there'll be a plague on them somehow sukus is related to go and its aftermath we see that from the aor there there's another aor which we read I believe it's fromzel which also speaks throughout go the Armageddon War and the question is why is it connected to Suk we see in the first that we read in Zakaria chapter 14 that it somehow relates sukus to this war question is why is it related what is the connection okay also very interesting there's garar it's somewhat famous you might know this gamar gar says interestingly that the Romans and the Persians of all of all peoples the Romans who represent the west and the Persians who are the Iranians they have a conversation with hm in the end of days after the Jewish people are redeemed as a Jewish people are becoming the nation we're meant to be the leader of the world so everyone comes and claims that they were part of helping out everyone's coming to claim their reward and everyone claims that they were part of helping the Jewish people throughout their Exile the Romans claim you know we build theaters and we we had all kinds of availability for the Jewish people to learn Torah hasm says the Romans you just did it for yourselves the Persians come and say we build Bridges a few different things that they say that they did which facilitated the Jewish people's ability to learn Torah which clearly is the essence of who we are Hashem says to the Persians all you did was for yourself all the nations come they try to claim that they did good for the Jewish people Hashem said all you continues to say this so they say well give us a chance we know we deflected the the opportunity to receive the Torah when it came to When The Exodus occurred but give us a chance now so hasem says okay and he gives them the Mitzvah of says keep the Mitzvah they sit down in their Suka and Hashem brings out the very hot sun the sun is so hot that they can't stand it inside if you have difficulty staying in your Suka because of something outside of your control you don't have to sit in the Suka they they leave the Suka but as they leave the Suka they kick the Suka and because they kick the Suka the says they're they're out of the picture they're they're out of the program they lose their chance but as we read this gamar we we try to understand what is the idea here why is it that at the end of times thing that's offered to them is the Mitzvah of Suka why is that the the thing that they're that they're supposed to the the Commandment they're supposed to fulfill first of all and second of all why is it that they kick the S why do they why they come become so disgusted and why does Hashem make it impossible for them to do it make it so difficult I would say to do that Mitzvah okay so those those are the those are some of the things before we try to understand the the essence of what's going on so I'd like to share with you there's gamar at the beginning of Suka and a very mysterious the end of Suka which relates also to the fact that somehow sukka is connected to the Future time to Mia even before the one thing we say in DAV every night we talk about a a Suka a a Suka is some kind of canopy or it's a we the way that we make our suus is we have walls and we have this which is made out of detached material something that was grown from the ground that's detached from the ground Etc but what what's the what's the essence what's the essence of the Suka what's the essence of the Suka so the gamar says here the says here at the beginning of Suka in other words why is it that Suka is related so much to the Future Suka it's talking about in Jerusalem hasm is going to create a Suka that's going to protect us us in the future that's based on theim as we're going to see right here in yes at the very beginning of the says that your needs to provide you with shade right now I'm sitting in the shade but I'm sitting in the shade of a tree an olive tree to be specific and if you're sitting in the shade you have to your Suka has to provide for you shade right that's the purpose of the even if you didn't specifically make it for wein if you made it for if you made it for shade it's going to be kosher and where is this derived from it's derived from the says that in the future time there's going to be a Suka that hasm is going to make over Jerusalem and we refer to this as I said in Mar he's going to make a su to protect the Jewish people it's going to protect us it's going to be a shade for us it's going to protect us from the rain and the wind so that's the purpose of it and if you look in theum there actually in yesah you see that it's almost exactly the same concept as the we find that the Jewish people in the midbar let me read to you the P actually you find that the Jewish people in the midbar in the wilderness so there was a the way that Hashem represented his divine presence was by having a Cloud of Glory which accompanied the Jewish people and led them by day it would appear as a cloud and by night it would appear as a pillar of fire so PK tells us that in the future time with the Advent ofia hasem is going to create on the whole area of Mount Zion which is a reference to harab right behind the Kel Shem is going to place there create there mom a cloud for the day and smoke and a glow of fire for the night time whoever is honored God will honor God will protect explain that those who who are the those who learn the Torah interestingly referencing back to thear they're trying to claim that they were part of the T Torah learning but hasm is going to create a protection for us that that Su that protection is going to protect us from the heat soem is going to bring out that heat right hasm brings out the Heat and it burns the the Romans and the Persians who previously the the Romans are represented represent the Christians who have certain aspect of of idolatry you know believing in Shu that there's a human being who could be a man manifestation of of God heaven forbid the Arabs also who are represented by Persia by Iran they also have a a a distorted version of who Hashem is but they're not going to be protected from the Sun they're going to be kicked out of the Suka so to speak I'm I'm adding stuff into the doesn't say that precisely it's going to protect us Hashem will give us the protection hasm will give us the protection ction okay so that's the concept at the very beginning of Suka that the Suka is to provide us with shade it's to protect us and to remind us first of all to remind us of what happened in the midbar that hasem protected us then and it seems It's a besides being a throw back it's a throw forward to what's going to be in the future when mashia comes and hasm is going to protect us as well now the mysterious Kamar at the end of Suka also gives us a reference to something that happens in the future time the gor says that this is very interesting that in the times of the Bish in the times of the temple there was a huge party there was a huge party that went on it was called the onus and this is very this is actually a central theme of what we're going to try to take out of this whole conversation that we're having here essence of what's going on on suus so there was a special Mitzvah it was a Mitzvah it was something that was passed down and it was called the Mitzvah of of we would take water and we would pour the water on the on the altar in the temple and this water as the says in rashash this water would serve to when we offer the water to Hashem so it's like a sacrifice showing that God we believe that the water comes from you because on sukus there are actually four times says the Miss says there are four times that we are judged for what's going to be with us in the future Russia sh is the most obvious we all know about that but we're also judged three other times on pesak Passover on and on sukus so the coming seven days the days that are before us right now are days of judgment we're judged the says it's a general judgment that's to do with every aspect of Our Lives on P Passover has to do with the the grains for the fruits now in Israel we're going to be judged but really the whole world is going to be judged about how much water how much much rain is going to be in the land of Israel so generally speaking it doesn't rain during the summer at all it only rains in the winter so whatever rain we get it's essential right it's an ays the tells us it's the land that Hashem is that hasem gives his special attention to it's not like MIT where there's tons of water all the time flowing from the Nile Israel gets its water from the rain and that is directly control by hasem so the result of that what comes out of it is is that suus is a very important time of judgment it has to do with our sustenance really for the entire year whatever rain comes is whatever rain we have and that's what's going to affect our crops for the coming year so what we do is we offer to we bring on an unusual cor an unusual sacrifice an offering of water we pour water we take the water out of the out of the and we offer it and in commemoration of that or in in I would say celebration of the fact that we are sure that we're going to have a good year in regards to the rain and we're doing this Mitzvah with joy we're all when we give away the water so to speak to God we're showing that we recognize that hey maybe I should hold on to it maybe I need to to protect this water and and put it into Sisters to make sure I have the water for the whole winter that's not what we do we show that we trust in Hashem we show that although there's water and the water comes and it rains Etc we know it's we can't depend on it we can only depend on you Hashem and that's what gives us the Merit to be able to receive a good judgment in regards to the water and then we have aim the drawing of the water the drawing of the water there was an incredible Sim that would happen an awesome joyous occasion of Celebration and there will be sikim dancing and would be bich Chua dancing the righteous ones and those who returned to yish everyone would be dancing together and there would be tons of musicians playing the Levites and others and it's also brought down and this is also an important aspect of it in the BD in the temple as a result of this incredible Joy the music y Ben we just read about oner y the prophet who ran away from Hashem because he had this Revelation that he needs to go to nve and tell them about the fact that they're sinning and they need to repent the first revelation that he had was there at the Sim at that very moment very interesting right very interesting so the there is a rejoicing with the water and in the judgment and in the offering of the water there's also a concurrent receiving of divine inspiration of a higher sense that Hashem is there okay and I want to point out that it's brought down that in the midbar in the wilderness when the Jewish people were in the wilderness they had constantly and it was represented by the by the Clouds Of Glory they had a constantes the the says that they could see a box and they would know what's inside of the box without opening the box they would have a sixth sense which is provided by hasem through their connection tohm provided that provided that now all of this is really just an introduction for what the gamar says the gar says that when they would do this celebration when when they would have the celebration that sikim and Balu dancing in the middle so they set it up inside of the b in in the women's section e they set up that there would be bleachers in the B mikd bleachers for women to be above and men to be below the men would be surrounding I guess it was a circle with the dancers in the middle and the gamar wants to understand where do we get it from that it's permitted to make such a structure that's not really part of the Bas ofish you can't like you can't play around the B English as a certain structure how do we know that it's permitted to do that how do you know that you're allowed to make these bleachers in order for the women to be above and the meant to be below so the gor tells us it brings this in zakar not per but per base in Zechariah Chapter 12 which is speaking about again the Advent of Messiah but it's speaking about something which shouldn't really on the surface it seems like it's not so related it's speaking at the fact that mhia b yose dies the Messiah son of ysf who's the first messiah in Suka talks about MH on MH is going to do battle on behalf of the Jewish people and at the end of the battle the climax of the battle as maybe he wins the battle it's not clear m is about to come but finishes the battle and dies in battle okay he's he's killed according to one opinion there's another opinion that he doesn't I not going to get into it but the the sukim say there and it's very interesting what's the connection to us but theim say there that when he dies there's going to be an incredible hpid a eulogy a Sadness the entire Jewish people are going to be mourning from the death of this great person and we can sadly relate to that right now because there are so many soldiers who have been killed and the hostages and and just a year ago on October 7th so many Jewish people were killed in that terrible pagram and we can relate to the fact that there's a terrible eulogy and a sadness which arouses the Jewish people to chuva to repent and theim say that when this eulogy occurs so the men and the women will be separate the men will be in one one space as they as eulogize as They Mourn and the women will be in a different space and if you look in the I I suggest looking there in Z says it five times that the men are separate from the women the gorah understands the from the fact that in the future after msi's arrival when there's no more anymore the the evil inclination is destroyed at that point as the gamor continues to say there but still they separate the men in the women if that's the case that there's a separation even though they're sad and even though there's no so certainly in the B when they're joyous when there still is a in the celebration of of drawinges so there also needs to be a separation the women need to be above looking down of the men the men need to be below so that we don't have at his hour of us a mixing of men and women it's a foundational idea in yish kite the importance of separating and having that Clarity of who's who this generation is very unclear about that sadly in the west but we have that Clarity so in the in the Bish they would do the same thing in recognition of what's going it sounds like in recognition of what's going to be in the future it's very interesting so in the BD which is in a certain way we referred to it as the the the bdes itself is referred to as a Suka of King David because King David wanted to build a b MD in that B mdash There Was An aspect of the future time when the B mdash is going to be rebuilt and the men and the women are going to be separate so what's the idea here what is what is the teaching here what is the depth here and I want to share with you one last gamar before we start to understand things we are on the edge of running out of time which teaches us something amazing and this is the foundation this is the foundation you know we take the lul and we shake it as we say Hal now in the times of the on P when they would bring the carbon p and they would eat the carbon PES they would also say Hal they would join the Hal to the mitv and we still do this today with the with the lul and we also do it in our seder we say Hal now is explaining what's what's this idea what is the concept of Hal in the cont context of p in the context of suus thear says who said you know says could it be that when the when thew in a midbar or or in in in Egypt when they brought their original carbon PES could it be that they didn't say Hal say it's not possible could you bring could you shake your Lulu without saying can you bring a carbon PES without saying says clearly it's not possible you can't separate those two things so who wrote it the simple understanding is that King David wrote the says um the the Jewish people it doesn't say that they said it when they were bringing the first cor P but they did say it when they stood at the sea they were standing at the sea behind them were the Egyptians on one side was the sea they were surrounded on all sides wild animals Etc and how did they get the miracle how did the miracle happen how are they saved because they saidu hasem not for us don't don't ring about a miracle for our sake and hasem says if you give it if you say to me you know if you admit or you recognize that you don't really deserve it yourself to be saved you give it to me to do Hashem says then I will do it for for my sake I'll you for my honor I will save you for my honor thenar goes on to say a whole bunch a number of different circumstances where the Jewish people needed salvation by Mor Ander and they said they said Hal and they were saved because they said Not For my sake it's very interesting and the finishes off by saying we're gonna say it again when we are redeemed the the Final Redemption we're going to say Le also now I was intrigued now what does this mean does that mean that they saw that there was a challenging situation so they saidu or perhaps something different you know this is this is my own thought it's my own KES Mor and when did the story of porm happen it didn't happen on porm happened on PES actually H he made a decree he wants to kill the Jewish people that was right before pesak they fasted three days the the Esther and and the Jewish people as to fast the three days it went into the first days of pesak it was on pesak that the salvation occurred hamon was was hanged and the Jewish people were saved on pesak itself now it this is my theory we always say on P and we always say on suus right it's a time where we're already saying so it's a time that's M it's a time that's has a special power or special potential for G for Redemption because we're already saying we're already saying to God it's not us don't do it for our sake one of the things that I truly appreciate about the prime minister of Israel each time he speaks each time he speaks at the end of his speech he says with God's help together we will succeed I saw a video yesterday of him with the gave him aul and said he said with strength Etc he acknowledg it's an amazing thing coming out of the mouth of a prime minister of Israel it's not religious maybe on the service I don't I don't know if how religious he is but he's saying with aem's help it's clear it's not us we can't do it by ourselves for your honor do it that's the gor in inim but let's try to tie up all of these these different things and try to understand what is the idea here as it relate to the the women and the men being separate as it relate to the fact that that the there's a future Suka what what's what's the what's the how can we order everything and try to tie it together and understand and I think that what we see from all of this is that the idea of G as I mentioned recently in podcast not long ago a month or two ago the idea of go is that the Jewish people are appointed are meant to be the leaders of the world but that's not natural we've been downtrodden for thousands of years we were under the boot of the Romans we were under the boot of the Persians we were under the boot of the Greeks Etc so but what happens is there's a war of god first one as the said was 100 years ago World War I second one was World War II and we're on the cusp of the third one but the purpose of all of these wars of the guga war is to get everything into its correct order to bring the Jewish people to raise us up to the point where we are potentially supposed to be the spiritual leaders of the world as well as the physical leaders of the world and we see the world is really in a certain sense the nations of the world Rome Persia these two Nations which are saying hey we tried to help out they're trying to fight that they're trying to fight that but the only way that we can get to the top the only way that we can get there is by saying it's not us it's you Hashem everything needs to be in its right order everything needs to be in its right perspective Hashem needs to be at the top then comes am Israel then comes the 70 Nations but it needs to be clear that the that the Suka represents the fact that Hashem is the one who's protecting us that hasem he's the one who stands between us and makes a separation right there are three Pim if you look the the theim there are three in a row right before we're about to go into the sea it says that moshu stretches out his hand V he stretches out his hand those three pum are 72 letters three pum in a row but they're talking about the fact that Hashem separates between us and the Nations between us and the Egyptians a protects us with his plows of Glory protection separation Clarity who is who's really the true ruler of the of the world who is really the the ones who are endowed by Hashem with a gift and a challenge to lead the world to be a light onto the Nations it's us as the priorities and the clarity comes back as we get clarity in that who we are who hasem is who that's what's going on now in a cataclysmic way if you think about it within the Jewish Society in Israel it's happening there's a reordering of priorities and reordering of of what's what's really going on here why we really a in Israel we're starting to things are starting to fall into place if you're following those going on and the that's true for us in Israel it's true also within the order of the world things are about to fall into place but what's also involved is the fact that Hashem is coming into the center and it's amazing as they said you know the the hearts of the kings are in God's hands it's happening in the very words that are being spoken by none other than the prime minister of Israel but there's an ordering that happens and that's reflected in the fact that men and women are separate there's such an extreme confusion in that area in the west and that represents the fact that it's coming it needs to come back into Focus it's very interesting just over y Kipper there was a high court order that yes you can have a Mak in Tel Aviv they don't want there to be such a thing right but things are coming into order they didn't end up doing it Etc that's not the point the point is that there's a a sense of men and women are separate that's part of things coming into order when things are in in order in their right place that's where you get that's where you getes are dancing in the middle the Bal are dancing in the middle those who have recognized their AAR and change and become better what does that mean it means that they understand their priorities everything has become clear everything is straight the Anon they protect the Jewish people in the future time they protect us now it's a reminder for us as we sit in our suas to have Clarity to have Clarity hem is the one who's protecting us if there's going to be peace it's going to come from hashem's Suka from his protection and that same Suka is offered that Suka of protection that Suka of of clarity of order is offered to the they say look we also want part of the story we want to be part of the order but the but the thing is that when AEM brings out the Sun so the Suka protects the Jewish people from the Sun but the Suka does not protect the the non-jew the the the idolator let's call him does not protect him why because he never had his priorities straight and even when he comes and says I I want a chance he he doesn't understand his place he still believes that he was doing it for the Jewish people when he was just doing it for himself okay so we have all of these themes all these ideas which come down to this is such an important thing you want to have you want to have want to have divine inspiration that's when I say it's not me you want to know what's inside of the box without looking inside of the box that's only possible when you recognize that it's not me and hasem comes in and saves we recognize that it's not us that's also by the way the concept I once explained why does m need to die does not die says same MAV says I don't want to die and says don't worry you're not going to die why does MH if he dies why does he have to die because it looks like he's the one doing it y's biggest issue is to take credit for himself y himself made that mistake when he said don't forget me remember me but he needed to learn and he did learn that's why when he came out to par he said to far he said B it's not me I'm not the one who can answer and explain your dreams M also can go either way it's dangerous thing he has to continue saying if he's the guy right needs to say those words if if he doesn't get that clear if he thinks it's him if is believes that it's him so M has to die because we can't make the mistake and think that it's him the whole reordering is the is getting to Clarity that's what go is about getting to Clarity who where is the real order who is the the Arabs the Christians they need to understand where did it come from where did their whole idea of one God come from let's get it straight or let's go to the Jews that's what P says 10 10 of them will grab the four corners of the Jewish garments of the of the situs and say take us with you for God is with you they'll understand and we will be that light they'll understand that we're supposed to be that light that that we have the order we have things clear so with all of these thoughts I want to bless you and I ask you to bless me hasem should help us that we should take the opportunity of sitting in a Suka should understand what it means the protection of Hashem if we're protected if things are going to be good in our lives it's going to be because Hashem is the one doing it for us he may work through us he may work without us but no matter what it's him and we have to have that Clarity and we have to have the the hierarchy is important we need to understand who goes where what each person's role is who we are as individuals how we play to hashem's plan hasm should help us to understand that and have that Clarity and hasm should bless us with a beautiful suus and may we be may we Merit to soon see the true an not just the representation of our suas but the true an the clouds of his glory in Jerusalem protecting and bringing peace for all of the Jewish people wherever we are thank you so much for listening have a wonderful Y and a
