The Hidden Hand of God Is Ushering In the Messianic Age – Rabbi Tovia Singer

This, by the way, disproves Christianity completely because the church says that they're the new Israel [music] and they replace us and all these promises of the end is really talking about the church was the new Israel. This is impossible to answer. I don't understand the depth of this. This can't be talking about the church, right? Cuz it says, "I send you into exile because of your sins." The church is saying it's a new Israel, but they didn't do anything. Instead, they're showing this has to be about the physical nation of Israel. There's a very interesting chapter in Isaiah chapter 42. Clusel is God's servant and she is utterly lost and bewildered. And Hashem says, "I will grab your hand and I'll guide you." It's a fa fascinating chapter because the ben Israel don't understand like what do we do now? What do we do next? And Hashem says for a very long time I was silent because of our sins of the past. We were in vill was silent means these things happened to you but I will scream like a woman giving birth. Verse 14. Now I will take you and I will guide you and I'll give you light where there was darkness. and I'll make the crooked ways straight. And the N used a very interesting use of language where he says who is blind but my servant who is deaf but the messenger that I sent means we're right now in a toupa where we're very aware that we're right there like what are we supposed to do now like what do we do and we're really not sure like we know like all these things have occurred and strangely we didn't really plan this out Why? So there wasn't a 19th century Zionistic thinking among religious Jews for sure which of course of course and there was but really it was largely anti-semitism that was exploding in Europe that people like Hzel witnessed. He was shocked by it. Herzel was not a religious Jew at all. He was a Hungarian journalist, a very bright man who was a completely assimilated Jew. But he realized that the Jews have no future at all in Europe. They have no future at all there. They had to have an independent state. Jabatinski he didn't witness it but he was he where he lived was very close to the Kishna pgrams that occurred in 1903 Pesak where many Jews are slaughtered and it was really anti-semitism that alerted the Jews. We can't go on in Europe. Jews have no fear. It really was reactionary. It really was. It wasn't like the Jews were going, "Oh, this is Tanakh." You understand also how impossible this was because like there was the Ottoman Empire. There's an empire that went until World War I where it collapsed. So like the Jew was here in Israel, here in line for sure. But the Jew was weak was in Nidri. He was he had no power and the non-Jew was powerful with armies and I mean after all the Ottoman Empire defeated the Byzantines. I mean who's the Jew? But when you're in a corner like us Iran's shooting rockets at us and people in America going, "Are you scared?" And we're going, "We don't have time to be scared. We have nowhere else to go." >> So it was very clear to Jews in the early 20th century that we need to get out of Europe. And while there are enormous risk involved and here there's a British mandate, maybe we'll work something out. We have no choice. Europe, we have no future. And if we weren't sure by then after World War II, we were definitely sure. We had essentially nothing to lose. And as a result of that, we came here and we just built the land and then we had a state. And because of the Holocaust really was the the impetus for the United Nations in 1947 to vote for a partition plan 33 to 13. It was very unlikely that if there was no show that the world would vote for a state of Israel for a Jewish homeland, but that was the language of the Jew has to have a nation state. So it's very clear along the way that God is sort of holding our hand and through anti-semitism and things that we didn't plan out. We couldn't imagine that we were put into this predicament. Take 1967. In 1967 we were at war with Syria predominantly with Syria and Egypt. And Mosha Dean who is not a particularly religious man. He was not a karedi. He begged King Hussein, "Please don't get involved in this. We're not at war with you. Just stay out of it. We're dealing with Egypt and Syria, and I know you joined an alliance of with Nasser, but just stay out of it. And if you stay out of it, we'll have no but again, once again, God had another plan." and King Hussein from the eastern part of Jerusalem started launching rockets at the western part of a place that really didn't even make any sense. They weren't militarily valuable. They were apartment buildings. But it forced the hand of Dian to go, okay, we have no choice. And they cut through this basically like like a knife cutting a warm knife cutting through butter. There were many losses here in the old city because they did not want to bomb it from the air. They didn't want to destroy the churches and so on. So there were some many boys who died in that part of the battle cuz they fought house to house. They really didn't want to. But nevertheless, in every point, it's the non-Jew that's forcing our hand to do what we needed to do all along. And that's what happens at the end of the days. This war with Iran, why do we have they're not Arabs. We have no history of the war with them. There are a thousand miles east of here. >> We never had a fight with them. The answer is they're doing. And that's what Ezekiel says in 38:4. I'll put hooks in their mouth and draw them into a war against you, hardening their heart so that the glory of Hashem will be raised around the world. >> So we need to go do a go war to awaken the Jew to the children. >> So any of you have a phone? >> Tanak. Good. So what you're going to do, you're going to do it. Okay. I feel like I'm doing a magic trick, [laughter] but I'm not. So that's exactly what it says. And we're going to go to Ezekiel 39. 139. So it says first in verse 21. So this is the end of it. So Ezekiel 38 and Mish says exactly that and what he's he's going to read now is exactly that that the reason for the war is so 39 lamas. >> Okay. And we're going to go to verse 21. Take a moment. This is like really important. And you'll see 21 is that the go will know that I am Lord. The nation will know I am Lord. and 22 so that the Jews will know that I am Lord. That's the reason Muhammad is. So now we're going to 39 verse 21. Now the context is the war. Now read loudly verse 21. >> Good. That's 21. So the will know they will recognize my glory. The condis is explaining why there's a war at the end of the day as you read before it. It's about the complete destruction of Gog, the enemies of God. Now look at verse 22. Read it loud. Israel and the house of Israel will know. He doesn't understand what's going on here. Is because the Jew is so now Hashem looks at the Jew as a a broken nation. We are but very broken people. 2,000 years of mamish a gullless mentality. You have mom damn spitting at you and they stay in Brooklyn. It's crazy. Really crazy. But we it comes from a mentality of 2,000 years in exile. So we need to be woken up too to live out the purpose of our destiny and that's to be rear of lights and nations. And that's how this chapter continues. It goes all the way to 20 verse 29 and 39. It's all talking about that this. Now, it's interesting here. It recounts as the prophets do. It says, "Look, let's not look at verse 23 and 24 in particular. It says, "What you will send to exile." So, so the text is saying here that the Jews actually went to exile. We suffered all this because of our sins and our faithlessness. That's why this happened. So, this by the way disproves Christianity completely cuz the church says that they're the new Israel and they replace us and all these promises of the end is really talking about the church was the new Israel. This is impossible to answer. I don't understand the depth of this. This can't be talking about the church, right? Because it says I send you into exile because of your sins. The church is saying it's a new Israel, but they didn't do anything. Instead, they're showing this has to be about the physical nation of Israel. So, this is not like a whitewashing of Jewish history, but this is rather you taken to exile and you were slaughtered in exile because of your sins, but I'm going to bring you back. And the next verse 24 and what's going to happen to your sins? Next verse. >> So that's just translation for everybody. So you ascend to exile because you sin, because you're unfaithful, but I'm gathering you back into the land. And then continue. All your sins will be forgiven and there's no one will ever again let you be afraid again. This is the biggest problem with Christianity. They're saying that somebody died on a cross. No, it's because you return back to your land that I forgive you and the and and therefore the living in the land of Israel is a literally the restoration. So this text you it's very important the critical point of this text and it's very transparent like this text is not poetry there's no way to read it except for what it's saying and it's saying that the reason for the war with Persia going back you don't have to read now but trust me it's there 38 verse five is really so the whole world will see the enemies are destroyed defeated and the world will know what about all your sins you did sin but I'm going to bring you back to the land so the go will see my honor and you Israel will know that I am Lord ah you sin when you come back I will your sins will be taken taken away we've forgotten very beautiful language so actually they don't have to perish just we need to come back to Israel that is enough to show the go the go to show us that Hashem is >> yes now I know but no meaning if you read 39 Like I did what I tell everyone not to do. That's don't read verses out of context. >> Okay? >> But if you now backed up, if you put the car in reverse and go back in chapter 39, you probably will be very shocked at the brutality of how the enemies of Israel will be destroyed at the end of days. Their bodies will be for years laying out and all the vultures and all the animals of that eat dead carcasses will be uh this is obviously language but will be drinking the blood and the eating feeding off the bodies of the dead. So this is if we go back here in 39 the enemies of Israel are destroyed completely. Now our hope is that they do chuva. Of course, we want them to do chuba. But the text is not ambiguous. If you raise a hand against kali and you don't do chuba, they will be destroyed utterly. This is a this is a very I say violent. It really is. It's very we didn't do that cuz that was not related directly to the question asked. But this is those who are at war with Israel utterly destroyed as we see in Zechariah 14. But Ezekiel provides us with more clarity and texture and and granular information than any other Nvi about the end times. And important to read Ezekiel 34 because that's the last part of Ezekiel through 48. It's all Mashiach. There's no even though the third temple is mentioned in other swarm the end time wars meant in other books in Tanakh but no one even approaches because was really the end of the prophetic period not during the Persian Empire but during the destruction of Ershel under the Babylonians. So he's giving us this big huge oracle that has more information than any other saber in Tanakh of what's going to happen, the order it's going to happen and so on. There's no parallel to it. >> If you enjoyed this program, please like and subscribe. [music] for [music and singing] [singing] so Oh.
