the banner of.com andan he should continue to have amen amen I want to tell you a personal story something that is very close to my family that not many people know about my grandfather my revered grandfather Z is a survivor of the Holocaust he passed away a few years ago at 106 years old he had already before the war broke out he was close to is even before World War II he knew raim zba anybody who knows raim zba was The prominent preeminent T in Poland before World War II my grandfather was in alitz and intz he sawman and invited a special guest to awz to Rejoice over the brutality that they were inflicting on the Jewish people who is this special guest a special guest from Jerusalem the Muti the grand Muti from Jerusalem and my grandfather remembered and he wrote this in his personal Memoirs thatman and the Muti sat arm in-arm like two lovers and they would March Jews in front of them and they would hit the Jew in a way that the Jew would not be able to have children again and they would laugh and they would and my grandfather says this is what happens when and Isel come together when asav and Ismael come together it brings destruction to the world if you want to know what would the world look like if the Western World and is ever got together aitz that's what it would look like and with this picture in mind I want to bring to your attention a very interesting pasuk at the end of next week's par already in the beginning yov and asov did not get along and asov hated yov and yov got the birthright and yob stole the blessing and when asov realized that yov duped him the says ASA said when will the mourning for my father come already and then when my father dies I'm going to kill yov by the way some of the say why when my father dies will I kill yov because so long as yov is learning Torah we're Invincible but when my father dies yov will be and an a can't learn Tora and then I'll get him and then I'll get him so people always want to know that's the first important Lio people want to know what should we do to defend the Jewish people should we send special gloves to the soldiers yeah you should should we send money to help the fighting in Israel yeah of course whatever you could do to help the you should do but what's thear thear is T that is the main defense of the Jewish people that's the main defense Torah is the main defense so long as we're learning tor were protected okay says that asov hated yov so we would expect okay asov hates yov what's asov going to do is he going to buy ammunition he's going to buy a rifle he's going to buy a knife he's he going to buy a sword and the Torah basically doesn't say what he does comes V you ready for this nugget comes a Von he wrote a commentary on a cabalistic work called Safra says you know what did because he hated he went [Applause] to he the daughter of is asov married the daughter of Ismael where houon we got a problem you hear the V hated yov so how is he going to destroy him he's going to marry ismael's daughter and like we mentioned when asav and Ismael get together you know what the world looks like so I want to bring to your attention what would you say in the history of the Jewish people other than the Holocaust what Moment In Time was probably the most dangerous moment in the history of the Jewish people of all the atrocities that loomed over the head of the Jewish people what do you think was the most dangerous moment in the history of the Jewish people where there was a Gaz to annihilate Shalom is exactly very good you have such a beautiful K they know already major leagues Purim Purim was the only time in our history there so let's study that because who are the players in the times of puim so we have ham ham is but then we have excuse me we have who's a what nation is he from Persia Paras what's Paras is it such a dangerous is it such a dangerous combination Paras and asav we're learning we learned fromon that there's a great danger when and get together but now in the times of puim we have and Paras so let's study this you know there's a big question if you study Med r on the medis teaches us that historically the Jewish people have undergone four G for Exiles what are they B Babylon Paras Persia and media by the way the biggest Galos is the media that's no question the biggest galus is the media don't believe a word they say whatever if you want to know the then listen to what they say in the news and the AMT is the exact opposite on any issue on any point of view any social issue that exists if you want to know what the torat says you don't even have to look in the torat look what the media says and you know the Tor is so Persia media is the second G the third gal y the fourth gal the med says countless times G where does the med say this practically every time the number four appears init whether it's [Applause] the four rivers in G the four it says four languages the four who are they Babylon Persia Greece Edom Rome there's a big question it seems like the midash did not mention a very powerful important galut that we're suffering from today and we've suffered from for a very long time galut why does the medish not refer to gal now for the sake of completion for the sake of your y there is an opinion the opinion of IB is Ezra is that the four Exiles are Babylon Persia Greece Rome is number three number four is Ismael but ramban rejects Ezra cuz ramban says the midash the T never talks about Ismael therefore Ismael does not make the official list but the question we have to ask ourselves is why does Ismael not make the official list why is he not on the list what they they haven't caused enough trouble they haven't brought enough tragedy they didn't take enough hostages why is Ismael not on the list this is a question that is addressed by many commentaries most notably the maharal of Prague okay I'm going to share with you this morning the two answers of the maral why is is not on the list the first answer the maral and if you have uh if you have your sheets we're going to take a look at number eight the maral says we have to understand what the concept of a galut is what's a galut what's a Mal there's something called The Domain the sovereignty of God okay God has a throne but do we recognize God is we know he's the B we know he's the man do we recognize he's the M the way to recognize God's Mal we need malav the malav is the manifestation of God's in this world that is why what sh does David come from does anybody know what are the four legs of God's Throne what are they made out of mahogany gold silver tell us abrahamov who's the fourth leg David's the fourth leg that means without David the throne has no stability when is born says the God's Throne has stability allows God's to be recognized in this world without that's why by the way the word the word yud is a very special word yehud is and the that's the fourth regel of God's Throne come the Babylonians and they they destroy the temple and they put an end to malav and they imprison the continuity of the Mal David they take sidah and they blind him that's the end of the Mal now Mal has been stolen it's in the hands of Babel and then when the Persians destroyed the temple they took the Mal from Babylon and then when the Greeks destroyed Persia they took the Mal and now Rome has it and who's Rome today zero the Western World Judea Christian values the Western World USA USA USA is Mal Ed so Mal is in the hands of adom then mhia will come we get it back says Mar but is never took our has an independent source of what's the The Source of's abrahamu When God says you know you're going to have a son finally Abu says I already have a son if only is would live before you says maral prag the power of Abraham's infused is with K Until the End of Days in fact Z says we're angry at AB we're upset with him we say you're not our father we say to Abraham why' you pray for that peram why would you pray for that you know the words peram it's a very unusual term um points out you know inesh you always have the noun and then the adjective you say the noun and then you say the adjective and with is we should say Adam the man what kind of man per wild but no we don't say we say [Applause] peram because the noun of is he's perah he's wild the adjective is Adam that's the kind of perah he is if you want to know the essence of is the power of yes comes from the of abah he has no therefore he doesn't make the official who's who list of the four G that's the first answer of the maral but the maral says let me share with you the definitive answer the definitive answer of why is is not one of the four Exiles is he is one of the four Exiles which one says the maral he's the second Exile he's Persia Paras and yishmael are synonymous why is that says maral they're not the same ethnicity they're not the same culture they're not related to each other says Mar the definition of these four categories are not ethnicities they're not cultures they're not beliefs they're personality traits and Ismael has the same personality traits as Paras what are the personality traits of Paras the gamar tells us the Persian made many wars they conquered many cities that's the nature of Ismael therefore yesel is Paras it's the same thing as Paras oo now the shamayim open up because we learned from the vagon that if asov and yesel ever got together they'll destroy the world and we gave so far one example of asov and yal coming together in aitz but now we have another example ex H what do you mean he is no Paras and are the same that was the second time in history that and come together if you ever hear that aam come to the room together and they shake hands watch out no that's a big bad news bad news now this gives us insight and this every Jew has to be familiar with this right now into two very important gar and you know people want to know what's going to happen at the end of days I spoke to this Rabbi spoke to don't speak to any Rabbi look in the look in the gar you need to know what the sources say people say I heard I once heard don't hear anything you need to learn the sources there are two garas black and white that tell us what the deal is going to be the end of days the first gar you can look on your sheet number six the theara tells us that at the end of days God's going to take out the SE Tora and he's going to say any Nation who is involved with this who supported this come we're going to give you reward oh all the nations say yeah we supported the Jews we love the Jews we gave them money we help we build we gave money to b t all the nations are going to come and God's going to say come on order please don't all come don't come in a in a mix up I need each Nation by itself says the which nation will come first Mal RI Rome ask the gar why Rome first says the gamar because it's the most so Rome is going to come and say we made stores we made bath houses we we made beautiful infrastructure why did why do you think we made a store a food store so that Jews could buy food they could buy bagel and learn Tor and why did we make other food stores so Jews could buy and support themselves and and learn Tor and God's going to say listen carefully God's not going to say you're wrong that's why you did it the only reason you did it the only reason I allowed you to do it is for Tor but you're a fool cuz that wasn't your kavana so you don't get any reward the gar then says Rome walks out dejected they walk out dejected next into the room Tas Persia and Persia is going to say we made many wars we conquered many cities and we did it all so that the Jewish people should learn Torah and God's going to say you fools that wasn't your kavana and they're going to walk out dejected listen carefully ask the gamar why specifically Rome and Persia says the gar because they are the most ask the gamar why are they the most cuz these will be the only Power standing until the end of days says thear there will only be two Nations standing in the end of days Romi and Paras now let's think about that romei is Rome still around Rome is long you want to see something about Rome you go to the British Museum and they found over there in the British museum that 2,000 years ago a Roman drank Hot Chocolate from a mug they didn't find the mug they found the handle that's the Roman Empire today that's all that's left from the Roman Empire so what's what does the gamar mean that Rome will last until mhia the answer is the spiritual air of Rome is the Western World United States of America and the I the countries that spous Western values that's royi but what about Persia what does the gamar mean the other Nation standing will be Persia Iran Iran today is unconnected not ethnically not genetically to the ancient Persian Empire so what does the gamar mean that Paras will last until Messiah comes according to maral of Prague it's black and white who is Paras say Mar is so the gar is telling us that before mhia comes there will only be two powers in the world USA the Western World and Isel and that's exactly what we see today so now that we've established that the gamar already told us 1500 years ago who will be the superpowers in the end of days let's ask ourselves a simple question who stands last that's where we're all you know we're basically waiting back and you know we're waiting to see who stands last now one thing I have to tell you is you know we have in our mind oh who stands last the one that drops the big first no no no no no you know if you think about the Roman Empire and how the Roman Empire crumbled people oh probably an invading Army came and conquered the Roman Empire you know with thousands of troops and no that's not what happen happened it was political disillusionment it crumbled from within it disintegrated nobody conquered the Roman Empire the Roman Empire just collapsed collapsed by the scenes that's something that is a very realistic contention that we have to think about you know there's nothing new Under the Sun we were watching news oh what's new there's nothing new nothing new knew whatever happened has happened many times before so when we say who will be the last power standing even though you know in our uh science fiction Minds we think okay who's going to attack who the question really probably is which value system will be the last value system that remains and then M will come and say that's what it means will be but which value system now does the Western world have values today and that's the debate going on in this country right now what values remain in Romy is there a value system of Romy today and that's a there's a big split today and actually in a way it's sort of comforting because the discusses if you look in there's a bet said here few okay you see the thing is I'm a visiting Rabbi right so I could say whatever I want right and if you don't like me I won't come back we'll still be friends we could we could send each other messages but I want to tell you something very important it's okay you'll find out you'll let me know if it's okay after I say it first let me say it I want to tell you something because we're friends over here okay does anybody know what is the defense system of the Jewish people the defense the the protection The Fortress I am a wall my protection is like a fortress that's our defense system I want to tell you something we have to be very careful there's no infiltration in the Fortress you know what I mean by that I don't know about you I sometimes look at my phone more than I need to because you know you have it maybe I got a message maybe I got and so I try to make times I try to make times that my phone is away one of those times needs to be right now the Jewish people are we need protection more than ever in our history every sensitive thoughtful Jew has to say I do not bring my phone into it's a must it's a must do we believe prayer works or do we not believe prayer works we believe it works do we believe when we pray it should be with all of our heart or is it okay if we do it let's say 23% we have to at least try to do it 100% we have to try nobody is a Mal we have to try the only way you can make a valiant effort to try to pray with all your heart is if you leave the phone in your car in a lot outside CU don't tell me it's un vibrate don't tell me it's un vibrate I don't believe I don't think anyone here if I would ask you could you pray properly with your phone on vibrate nobody would have the audacity to say yeah I could do it and I'm going to tell you a bigger K if your phone is on silent you also can't pray properly because you're having imaginary Sensations that is vibrating even though it's un silent even on Shabbat I see a guy going like this he doesn't even have his phone on him telling you you want to bring defense to the Jewish people you want to give K to the Jewish people you want to protect your brothers and sisters I saw a guy looking at his phone in middle of daving oh it's terrible it's terrible what's happening well put away the phone and maybe we'll be protected okay this a humble thought you don't have to I'm not your Rabbi we have lacers you have lockers God should bless you I'll call you back to the ranch back to the ranch who stands last asav or Ismael asav or isma who stands last so I got very nervous when I saw this Kamar because at first I thought that means you know who's going to destroy who but now I'm thinking probably which value system which approach to life will stand last and you can make the case the answer has already been determined the answer has already been determined is there a value system anymore in Romy what do they stand for what does the Western World stand for what is Judea Christian values today is it monotheism is it human value identity there're no values that this country was based on this the founding f fathers wanted to make the official language of the United States of America KES the value system of this country Judea Christian ethics do they exist today are they being taught in the Ivy League schools today by college professors I don't think so but Paras their values whether you like them or not as Extreme as they are they still stand so that's something to really think about the and I'll tell you I've given this class before it never really realize until standing here with this the says there only be two Nations standing in the end of days R and Paras which nation will stand last the gamar brings the opinion of rebi Rome will fall to Persia the gamar brings the opinion of Reb Yan Rome will fall to Persia and I'm shaking in my boots Rome will fall to Persia I don't live in uh Syria I don't live in Yemen I live in New York Rome will fall to Persia USA will fall to but now we have some kind of understanding of this you know what will be the last value system standing and then thear brings another opinion the gar says RAV holds Persia will fall to Rome meaning United States value system maybe the the House of Representatives will you know conglom they'll they'll get they'll push their agenda there'll be more of a conservative agenda these are what the gamar is is grappling with ultimately who defeats who I want to share with you of K you know kki one of the great sadim of the last generation you know in all Jewish homes on yeah how do we end the S we say a what do we say by ASM we say familiar with it how do they sing it what's this what's the tune we have a Kazan here yeah he D early he knew he knew to stay away okay okay what's the story of it sounds like a nursery rhyme right you have a father who bought a goat what happened the cat ate the goat and the dog ate the cat and the stick hit the dog and the fire burnt the stick and the water put out the fire and the ox came and drank the water and the came and and then the came and killed the and then God comes and let's call it a night right that's the end of the [Applause] say writes if anybody Mo they should be put in because it's but exactly what is the message of the what is this all about you know we have eight main characters in The kadya we have the cat and the dog and the stick and the fire and the water and the and the bull and the and the we started the she by talking about that we have four G we have four Exiles Babylon Persia Greece Rome however Med and rash and zakar tells us each gut was a dual gut is a two-p parted galut B and Kazi Babylon and the chalad Paras M Greece Macedonia Moon as and isma in fact that Aral even writes that when Daniel saw in his vision a being the head is B the two arms Paras and mad the body is Greece the two legs and the legs are the longest because these are the longest G the longest Exiles says kki isn't it interesting there are eight characters in The and there are eight exiles now this is going to be very telling because we're going to want to know who's the and who's the Mal because whoever is a Mal that's the Last Exile says kki the cat we find many examples the Babylonians they cried out like cats bavel is the cat the dog the dog bhatar bhatar drank from the vessels of the temple like a dog comes the Persians it says KES hit people over the brain with a stick Persia he was angry fire Macedonia is like water Alexander the Great he comes to the Garden of Eden and they pour water on him yavan yes is an ax remember in times of say right on the Horn of an Axe and now we're up to the final two Exiles and now if I was writing a commentary on the I'll tell you what I would have said I would have said who's the well who in the T was a Ab brings the C rash says who the to do what to the animal is the by the way do you see the power of think about the power of calls on to prepare the animal what's he training him inash says which say what you want about our cousins they're two look at the power of of you think it's a small thing you ask your son to help you out with the Mitzvah one time it will affect generations for hundreds of gener forever and ever that's the power of and I would have said would be es because my grandfather who saw he also saw the Mal he saw Dr mingala the angel of death the angel of death I would have say asav but that's not what kki says so I would have likeed to say Living in America we like to say America will be the last gas so it makes us feel more comfortable to say is a and and the truth is if you look at the says which to me sounds like will stand last like the opinion of R but if you look in rashi rashi says which is the opinion of re and so apparently it's not clear butki says is nobody is like is the truth is they're both highly qualified for both positions they're both qualified to be the they're both qualified to be the sayki the in the opening of this coming week's par supports the view that stands last the last words of this talking about will fall everywhere what are the next words says when falls in the end of days then that's what we're hoping for we're hoping for that when the gamar tells us there'll be two Nations standing we're hoping this doesn't mean you know with sword with nuclear weapon by the way you know there are those who learn that the world may be protected from nuclear weapons because of a very special Abraham he he prayed that God should save the city of Sodom God destroyed sedom with gais with sulur and Abraham prayed and from Abraham's prayer we learn out and but what was God's answer his prayer no no don't and don't bother me again wow what a beautiful source for Abraham DAV and God said not a chance there are those who learn Abraham f worked cuz he prayed that God should save us from cuz he foresaw that what kind of what kind of weapons are will be and the world is protected today from the that didn't work then and and Hali Hal we're we're hoping that when the gamar says there'll be two Nations standing in the end of days there'll be two value systems and which value system will be shown to be bereft empty which one will go down first we wish them both a speedy but this is a time that really has to stir our hearts to be when we say in the we're getting very close to the Finish Line if we're really waiting we have to really we have to beg hasem you know said tells us no seeks out from here we see we need to seek it out says what does it mean seek it out always translates to demand we have to say you told us you told us you said it's going to happen we need to really wait for it we need to ask for it we need that this final battle we need to be done with it very quickly Shalom and we
