The Super Prophecy Regarding the Eternality of the Third Temple with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] everybody welcome back to the baked midrash the iban at bait midrash and i want to welcome you home to torah a very very warm welcome bizarre to shem we have uh hashem a nice few amount of people here in the bay midrash we have a number of people on our skype call and one of the things i do encourage people to do is to learn hebrew go into the original hebrew source sheet which you can find there's a link provided below inside the description box which requires a little bit of work to do because it'll take you to the main page where then you have to choose which book and which year which recording but i also would encourage i think what i'll do hashem believe nader put in some of the previous clips from this parsha because we're not beginning in the beginning we're not starting in the beginning we're going to start as i mentioned in chapter 28 verse 16. we're going to read also 17 and 19 because it's going to be very apropos for this discussion um another thing that we do is we use the clear car as the basis for this discussion so that's another reason to encourage you to go to the original hebrew sheets also so you can review i mean it's good to do review right with the original really get the torah the holy words into your head into your soul into your heart and what we're going to deal with is a lot of things to do with faith and jerusalem and the temple and mashiach that's going to be like tonight's discussion unbelievable right even though we're going to discuss as the clear card begins with the very fact that the word macomb appears three times in those verses i just mentioned again chapter 28 in genesis verse 16 17 and 19. and i think we should start with those verses just to become familiar with them and what he's going to do is he's going to compare what we'll say parallel the three times the word malcolm is used to the three temples and what they represent historically now i also want to mention that when we talk about the prophets right the navy as well as the suvim that is let's say it's the latter part of what we call the the jewish bible but the five books of moses is the main text okay dictated letter for letter word for word by hikarus baraku to moses with all the spaces with all the inferences okay now just keep this in mind because what i want to say is that there's a famous expression it's written in the zohar other places that hashem looked into the torah and created the world what does that mean that he looked into his own torah the torah is from hashem are we saying that the torah is like he's looked inside of his own mind his own will and the ex the the world that we live in is a output of the code of the torah itself the torah is a code it's actually a divine name and so when we read through the text we're actually reading god's name god's inner essence to a certain degree and so it's not the same as what we say later on as the prophets the prophets and the writings the prophets specifically are where a human being had a vision in a dream or some kind of state of consciousness where he was seemingly asleep and then wrote down what he remembered being told to him or what he saw which is entirely different than the five books of moses which is not prophecy it's above prophecy it's a direct communication of god himself it's not through an individual keeping that in mind now let's read janet this is after what we're going to be reading in the beginning the after the after yaakov awoken from his sleep however we're going to go back towards the end of this class into the dream itself and it's going to parallel what we're reading now so keep that in mind not to confuse anybody so let's start with verse 16. and yaakov awakened from his sleep which is interesting in hebrew is mishnato he awoken from his sleep his sleep ended the yomer and this is what he said there is god in this place but one second ano hiloya dati what does that mean but i didn't know rashi seems to imply there that had i known i wouldn't have slept in this place it's too holy but we're going to see another level to this skipping to verse 17 and he was frightened and he said how awesome is this place there is none other this is none other than the house of god um and this is the gate of heaven so in hebrew the iran right he um he was frightened and he said how awesome is this place now the word awesome is probably not a good translation it's more of awe i mean awesome at all obviously all is part of that root but it's related to the word virat to a certain extent it's like this frightness this aw right so he says well how awesome is this place and then he continues to say anzac this is none other than the house of god okay there's none other than the house of god zechariah this is the gate of heaven and then in verse 19 skip to 19 and he named the place bait el but luz was originally the name of the city now that's the third time the word hamakom is used it's called he called it base kale the house of god at beit l shame however you should know that luz was the original name of this city so all we saw so far in these three verses and i highlighted on the english sheets as you can see the word the place or this place place hamacom macomb is three times okay keeping that in mind now we're going to go into the clear car itself so for those who have the sheets are following along the first line says like this but right indeed the lord is in this place i didn't know his kirsalos as we already mentioned it's three times the word macomb is used in these phrases and what are they connected they're parallel to the three temples so this is the blueprint of creation now the blueprint of creation could have changes there's always possibility right hashem is all-knowing he knows the future he knows what we'll choose yet he gave us free will and things could have changed we could have come out of egypt straight into the land of israel moses could have built the temple and that temple would never have been destroyed and you would never have by shaney or by actually you wouldn't have had a second or third temple it's all it's called when you go on waze or you go on google maps and you're driving you're using a gps and you miss your exit it's called rerouting right there's a re what does it must be another word restructuring the whole um recalcul thank you recalculating because you need to get the endpoints always going to be the same just know the end endpoint is going to be fantastic and great but there are trials and tribulations challenges along the way and if we sin it said they wouldn't even need the books after joshua i think maybe joshua was not included included but let's just say like this that if we would have come into israel and never sinned you wouldn't have needed the rest of the prophets to come and rebuke us because it would have been nothing to rebuke okay now joshua says where the tribes live no so i'm saying excluding joshua in other words joshua would have maybe part of joshua joshua would have been the only book as opposed to the other books okay clear's mud okay so now he goes into saying that the first time mukhem is used is connected connected mikdash rishong parallel to the first temple and what happened in the first temple that it should be parallel the divine presence rested in its fullness in the first temple as we know there were ten open miracles we'll see later on in the second temple five of them were missing okay but the shrine of the god god's divine presence was there now it may have been there not i'm not saying that like in the question i'm saying it's a fact it was there but we unfortunately we were involved in idol worship weren't we in other words that's one of the three reasons for the destruction uh and the exile the destruction of the first temple right and the exile because of the three we call them three cardinal sins the three cardinal sins are murder adultery and idol worship now we say adultery it's really it's referring to in general of sexual immorality i got a call this week from somebody wanted to know why we just referred to it as adultery wasn't homosexual you know and the answer is yes we just use that phrase as a overreaching an over uh what do you call a definition right but it doesn't mean only adultery it means sexual immorality okay let's continue now so so they were involved with idol worship and that's what he means when he says hashem we were we did not have and i'm not saying everyone was guilty of idol worship but enough jews were guilty of idol worship for this um for this to have consequences because it was after idols that are hearts followed as is brought down in gamora yuma tet that's 9b and for those who have the english sheets you can see that there are three matters listed for the reason that the first time was destroyed let's continue now what does it say here in our verse we're referring to the verse first verse in 16. for sure yes there is no doubt that god is here and i did not know okay so that is a parallel to the idea of the first temple now what about the second temple the second time makkom is used connected by a chaining now we see in verse 17 where he says how awesome right how awesome is this place ain it's none other than the house of god which may maybe it means it's so obvious to yaakov unbelievable i mean we were not living then so it's really try to use your imagination during the second temple the nations were in awe of the temple in jerusalem okay now the the example he's going to bring is by alexander the great otherwise known as alexander the macedonian right so kyothilu alexanderus mukdon which means alexander the macedonian he had let's say a healthy awe a healthy fear of destroying the temple he didn't want to destroy it he he himself understood the awesomeness of it and now we have a story in gemara yuma 69 a now the truth is it's very long and i kind of want to skip through some of it but basically the gamora was discussing a holiday or let's say a day that we don't say um we don't utilize your eyes they won't say takanoon you don't fast let's say it's the 25th of tevit and we call it the day of mount griezm who who lives around there the samara the sumerians right samaritans the sumer the kutim these non-jews that were displaced from somewhere in assyria placed here unfortunately because of our sins we had the ten tribes displaced actually displaced they were exiled by the samaritans and these people were being attacked by whom by the lions and they i think i discussed this story story before and they converted but we don't call them true converts anyway they were so not true converts they were even treacherous they were mardus they were traitors they mamish were traders they went to the assyrians and complained about us okay so comes alexander the macedonian in order to destroy the temple because well he didn't really destroy but he gave them permission to destroy he actually gave them permission because they were telling lash and hara they were telling him that we are we're the one we're we're sinners against the state so to speak um that we're not true what's the word citizens we're not loyal to his uh kingdom and so the people the jewish people they came to inform whom so the time period we're talking about 150 years into the second temple period right sadiq was was still alive obviously and um now he was the high priest now you're not allowed to wear and this gamora actually was based on an earlier discussion about wearing the priestly garments outside of the temple nevertheless what shimon at sadiq did as you can see through the story they went out to greet alexander it was obviously outside of the temple pier at temple compound and he's wearing these garments and uh it's a whole story but in the end alexander sees uh shimmer at sadiq and he basically bows down to him and everyone's wondering what is this great general this great warrior this unbelievable i mean whatever you want to call him you know conqueror bowing down to this jew and basically he tells his own army you know people that whenever we win the wars i always have this vision of this guy of course how much gratitude do i owe him you know in the end the bottom line is the tables are turned on the samaritans and we went ahead and basically he had a war with them uh called the civil war if you want but basically we were victorious and that's the bottom line of that qamar an unbelievable story and it goes back to the whole story of could you actually be wearing the priestly garments outside of the temple it ends that this ends with the idea that in psalms 119 verse 126 it's a famous statement it is time to act for the lord they have nullified your torah there's a time to act for god and they have nullified your torah sorry this idea of it sounds strange but there are temporary moments where one may violate the tolerance it's not like an individual making this decision okay but there are times where it's necessary to violate the torah to save the people and that that was a a time that he that's basically the bottom line of this gemara it was brought in to show you that there is going to be a time where a a a high priest could end up wearing the priestly garments outside the temple when it was necessary okay so now go back into the clea car and we see again the idea of the second temple that he says like this love alexander meaning he he stood out of respect obviously he bowed down but he stood out of respect sadiq on account of shimon sadiq even though even though five of the main we call them uh daily miracles or weekly miracles things that were dow obvious miracles in the temple did not take place in the second temple and what were they that the shrine was not present that the we this is the time period where there is no more no no more prophecy the holy ark was missing in the second temple the urim vitumin the oran batumi is the part of the breastplate that has the stones and lights up it's actually not the breastplate itself but it's part of the breastplate as well as fire from heaven these things were missing in the second temple period okay but lonely shame but guess what even though these miracles were missing especially the shrine itself nevertheless the name this is the house of god so we all know that by the time the second temple was going to be destroyed by that later later part of the second temple herod had i i don't know what the word is beautified he embellished i mean he really added on such beauty some say that if you never saw the second temple in his view you never saw beauty i mean it was unbelievable right so just keep this in mind it was called the house of god that's basically the bottom line even though it was missing all these things it's called base elokim and regarding this again base elokim so that's the verb that's the words that appear in our verse now in the first temple quebec hashem i in the ion during the first temple period and even before during the time that the the tabernacle was around they saw god face to face so to speak here uses the word i i to i but it means face basically they had an awareness and unbelievable awareness even though we didn't say that they still worshiped idols but god's presence was was there you marina they actually saw through these miracles they saw god's presence now interestingly enough zack haley of the anvahu which you could find in the number six on the sorcery where it says this is taking place during or right after the the passing through of the splitting of the sea now at the time every jew even the lowest educated jew had a level of prophecy higher than all the prophets higher than even ezekiel's vision of the merkava of the holy chariot they said eternal strength and his vengeance were my salvation this is my god and i will make him i'm not going to translate the word we usually say and i will glorify him so the word the unveiling what's the word nave nave is referring to a habitation look at rashi this is my god he revealed himself in his glory to them there's no question through the splitting of the sea it was unbelievable they had such an elevated state of consciousness and they pointed at him with their fingers if they could like pinpoint him down by the sea even a maidservant perceived what prophets could not now continue on when it says the word beyond value and i will make him a habitation or i will glorify him like what's the difference obviously it's a huge difference we usually translate it as i will glorify him that's how we think of it but know the word na there means also another level habitation what's his habitation we're talking about the temple the mikdash ankulus renders it as an expression of habitation and then he gives a few other let's say uh proof text okay we're not going to go into that right now keep this in mind so that's why the clear car brings it down and he says meaning as if they said this is our god in other words the presence of god in the habitation that's what it means but that would be the first temple abu babc but in the second temple we already know the shrine wasn't there in the same way anza lonnie sharbo it wasn't there except by name only and that's what it means kim hashemshu base elokim it was only by name only now we're going to get into the third temple uh connected by achilles she so the third time macomb is used is parallel with what we call the future temple and i just want to stop for a second to give a little bit of a boost to an organization that i so fondly love it's called yibbanet you all heard of yibbanet so we know that bonnet is based on hasid because the world is based on cressid founded on kind acts character development and all that stuff but you know what it's our dream and hope you bait the mikdash that the third temple will be built but guess what not only will it be built but it will never be destroyed and that is going to be one of the points here that we're going to get into okay because in other words if hamakum is used and again what was the third verse that we used just to give it like a little glance again and then and he named the place bait el but luz was originally the name of the city now i don't know why he didn't bring this down lose the lose bone rabbi bridowitz actually spoke about it i forget which week recently that the loose bone is the bone that can never be destroyed i don't know if it's at the bottom of your either the bottom of your skull or at the bottom of your backbone but anyway because that's how he described it it's a part of you that can never be destroyed and it will be that peace where you will be reconstructed at the resurrection of the dead and that is the future it's omaba this is like a future event so keep that in mind even though the clear card didn't bring it down i think there's a connection i'm sure there's a connection so he goes like this the ukraine who based ale so we know in the verse it says right he called the name of the place bait ale which is the house of god shame [Applause] [Music] but the original name of the city was lose now the clear car says it's low neck or me meno shane lose in other words if i'm going to tell you what the original name was people still know it as that that means the name lose never was lost it was never uprooted from people's knowledge of this city okay you can't lose the name loose there you go thank you larry i want you to know that many people have commented that they love to hear your comments during this year now i don't know if it means akhir as either or after either way we'll read it the same in other words whether it was in a built state or in a destroyed state vice versa or when it was built and when it was it doesn't matter we would always have that name but latin but in the future the future temple will never be destroyed it will always be created that the actual name itself reflects its eternal status this malayalam that will be its name forever well the house of god that's what will be forever commotion mr as it says in ezekiel 48 35 now i don't want to get too confused here because we still have a lot to go but i do want to read a few different verses besides ezekiel 48 35 so this is the very end of ezekiel i think it's the last chapter last verse even okay so it says like this it talks about the circumference of the city in other words shalom had was 18 000 rods exactly how big that was i don't know but it's quite big and the name of the city from that day shall be hashem is there unbelievable let's look at rashi real quick right the perimeter of the city is 18 000 rods fine the name of the city from that day will be the lord is there that's how we will know because just think about in the hebrew um the shame hashem shama sham ma could mean there it could also mean its name keep that in mind and even though it says the name of the city from that day onward is god is there it could also mean that yudkev is its name look at rashi targum yonatan renders and the name of the city has been declared as that day that the lord will cause eshkina to rest there meaning it shall not be called by a name other than the original name that it had since the day that avraham bound isaac his son there and he it's called you shalom it's called yere right he called it and its name had been shalem so you have yera shalem yerushalayim thus forming the name you shaline it may also be interpreted the name of the city in the future and from when it is built and then therefore it shall be called the lord is there so we have multiple understandings of this i have here the art scroll comment on this and he mentions like this and the name of the city from that day shall be hashem is there this phrase is obscure both rashi he quotes the targum and he interprets the reading the name of the city you shall line will be the same as it was from the day that hashem first appeared there at al-qaeda's giza which we already know was shalem however rashi then offers the interpretation that most commentators prefer from the day that this new city will be built its name will be hashem shama hashem is there and gomor baba basra 75b teaches that we should not read hashem shama that hashem is there but hashem is his name interesting because its name is hashem you're calling the city god this is going to play a great part in what we're going to talk about these other verses in jeremiah okay as this is something and i don't always like to do this i do get some enjoyment out of it that the christians have it very wrong right there are that they think that the messiah is god and we're going to get into some of the verses where maybe they got that impression okay but just like here the city is not god the city is you shall i am okay and yet it says that's the name god is there its name is god i just want to read on a little bit more before we go on to the other verses in jeremiah the essence of the new city the rebuilt jerusalem is to be a total like that it is to be a total identification with all that is holy a bond will have been forged between god and his people that will be permanent the merkava mirkov again revers refers to the idea of something much more metaphysical and beyond description but we're talking about even we're talking about the idea of the holy chariot and whatever that represents that means mobility of the shrine that the shrine somehow moves about will have finally come to rest no more will god demonstrate his love by accompanying israel into exile in other words when we go into exile god says he promised that he would be with us just like he's promised abraham when you go down into exile you go out of the land of israel i will be with you okay but when he returns the jewish people he will be with us in the return and the city will be called by his name or we call the city his name however you want to look at it the last statement is he will remain firmly ensconced in the hearts of the people the dwellers of the city hashem is there okay let's go on back into i think i'm not sure we go back yet no so basically what happened was i read the radak the radak on this verse explains basically what we had read um that the shrine will return forever and he quotes jeremiah so that's why i wanted to go to jeremiah now there's two verses jeremiah 23 6 and jeremiah 33 16. okay so in 2036 it says in his days now this is all messianic if you read some of the verses before some of the verses after as well as chapter 33 verses 14 through 18. so let's start with 23 6. in his days yehuda will be saved and israel shall dwell safely and this is his name it's not a capital h this is the messiah's name that he shall be called the lord is our righteousness you understand it's a description it's not telling you that his name is god or that he even is god and we don't have a problem with calling a city by the name of god or even an altar that abraham right others in the in the distant past built and called by the name of god we don't have a problem with that so look at the hebrew zesmo ashir yaku hashem tsidkenu okay and that is in reference to the messiah himself that it's his name with a small h fine look in jeremiah i do have some comment on that i wanted to um read for you this is in [Applause] there's really too much i want to skip around a little bit but and yeah okay if you read the verses you'll see it's clearly talking about uh i mean i'll read it for you in verse five the days are coming behold the word of hashem when i will establish a righteous sprout from david who is the righteous sprout from david the meshiach a king will refrain and prosper and he will administer right justice and righteousness in the land in his days yehudah be saved that's our verse and israel will dwell securely this is the name people will call him hashem is our righteousness so just keep in mind i want to go to this idea of this is the name people will call him hashem is our righteousness on the surface this seems difficult because it seems to say that people refer to the messiah as god which obviously cannot be the intent of this prophecy prophecy okay here we see i meant this is in genesis 33 20 where jacob erected an altar and he called it he called the name of this altar elohey israel you this is ridiculous that yaakov jacob would call a rock formation as the god of israel right what does he mean jacob intended that god's praise would be evoked at the mention of the altar's name as if to say he who is god hashem is the god of me remember his name is israel whose name is israel similarly moses he also erected an altar in exodus 17 15 hashem nisi he called this altar hashem is my miracle he didn't mean that the altar is hashem but that its name is an expression of hashem's praise okay but that its name um our verse our verse versus reference that the messiah should be understood the exact same way alternatively the name means that god in his righteousness empowers the messiah to save us from our enemies another idea that rambam explains in the egyptian that god's name is affixed to the messiah to signify that his qualities will be superior to all human beings a reality that ruled out the many false messiahs who arose over the generations okay then i just want to mention in in jeremiah 16 it's a very similar statement in in those days you will be saved and you shall i will dwell in security for this is what the people will call jerusalem hashem is a righteous one and there's just way too much to spend the time with you doing um i encourage you to uh to see the kosher commentaries on this one um although maybe i will um it's just too rich not you know to skip over it so i'm going to just read one little piece here jeremiah now prophesizes again from the art scroll about the messiah who will appear and lead the nation with justice and righteousness this vision was already revealed in jeremiah 23 verses 5-6 and is repeated here with certain differences goes into all the differences um okay i'm not gonna spend too much time but it's it's just delicious as my friend rabbi tovia singer would say and you don't want to miss it but that's not what this year's about although it kind of is but we have a whole we're only halfway through this year so we have a whole another paragraph to read um although we didn't finish that i'll just read the last sentence over there we just read in yukatsuka 4835 vashem hashem shama and the name of the city from that day forward would be called the lord is there see the radak as i mentioned the radak mentions these verses in jeremiah what does the radak explain the bottom line is god's name will not depart from this place and that falls in line with our verse in um and he named that place bait l the god's name is attached to it even though an original name and an old name is still being used but god's name will never depart from it fine let's go on to the next so too at the beginning of our parsha again we saw the word makkom three times shalosh paamim losh and makkom so now we're talking about the actual what the actual dream itself right connected by rishon when we think about the first temple go into i have to turn the page on my english sheets where is it 28-11 in genesis 28-11 and he arrived at the place um the he um he he encountered he prayed he arrived at the place the yolon sham kiva shemesh and he slept there because the sun has set keep in mind rashi explains this it must be the sunset early and caused him to sleep there because it's out of order it should have said if it didn't want us to think about it the sun set and he slept there and then you would have no thoughts but it says and he slept there because the sun has set look at rashi qibla shemesh scripture should have written in the reverse order and the sun set and he stayed there overnight which would have had made total sense but it doesn't say that so the the expression the sun set ki shemesh literally means the sun came s-u-n just keep clear the sun came implies the sun set suddenly now and he so he had to stay there overnight what does it mean it's set suddenly it's set early setting early is key to what we're going to discuss as well because it's set two hours early this is our tradition and we're going to read from deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 25 through 26. it says i'm not sure if i'm skipping around i want to make sure we go in order not to confuse anybody um let's skip that for now let's continue in the clear car all he mentions is the verse and he counted the place he slept there because the sun had set okay so jaan kilo archul he didn't stay there long it wasn't like he stayed there for a few days he only slept there one night okay he just stayed long enough to sleep one night [Music] which means he's dwelt there for just one night very short period of time rem is le kreitzer's man amid the sabbath big douchaso and this is where i want to get into the hint in deuteronomy 28 11 where there is a hint that the temple did not stand as long as it seemed to or should have how do we know that i want you to go and look in the english sheets here deuteronomy 4 25 26 now god promises seemingly right or it tells us when you beget many children you will be long established in the land that means we're going to live there for a long time right very nice and then what's going to happen we're going to become corrupt and it's going to be very bad and at the end god says you will be utterly destroyed did that happen no are we still around today yes so what's going on here the answer is ready drum roll please come on guys all together that we didn't live that we didn't live in the land of israel as long as we should have remember it says you will live you will be long established in the land see in the hebrew the no shantam the no shantan means long in the land right by ours you will be long the gematria is 852. guess what we were left two years early just like the sun set for the jewish people two years earlier in others we were exiled two years earlier jacob the the sun set for him two hours earlier in the future all right we left israel and in the exile the temple's destroyed two years earlier two years earlier and look at rashi he hinted to them that they would be exiled from it from the land of israel in 850 at the end of 852 years which is the gematri of and you will live long in the land this is how long you will live but guess what he exiled them earlier after the end of eight hundred and fifty years he did this two years earlier than the numerical value of in order that the prophecy about them should not be fulfilled which prophecy that you will be utterly destroyed you will not be utterly destroyed because that's all part of the prophecy of only if you lived there 852 years if we would have lived there another two years i hope i'm not talking too fast then yes then it could be and would have been a fulfillment of that prophecy but because the first part of the prophecy didn't happen the latter part of the prophecy could not happen capisce similarly you know there's a there's different texts the one says we're going to be uh strangers in a strange land for 430 years another text says we're going to be there for 400 years and how long were we really there for 210 so what's going on the same thing that we descended into the 49th level of impurity had we reached the 50th we we would have been beyond redemption and that would have been it game over but what happens how you it's a recalculation right that if we would have been there for another 30 years because of how bad we were that then it could have been right that it could have been just beyond think about this so the bottom line is there was a recalculation even though god said to avraham 400 years or 430 we're talking about the time of the brit bain and battarium the covenant between the pieces it could have been depending on where the jews were holding in the future am i going to retroactively count it from the moment that i made that promise which we did leave egypt 430 years from that point or is it going to be from the birth of isaac which is 30 years later or is it going to be literally when the jews are at their lowest point but i shouldn't say you know just before they're irredeemable and that is where when god says go down to egypt the word radu is 210 and therefore the jews went down to egypt for exactly the gematria of redo for two so in other words we're recalcul it has been recalculated we're able to see this after the fact i just want to mention about the codes never believe anybody that shows you any code about future events it's impossible it's irrelevant it makes no sense and it's a waste of time it's only after the fact because there's always constant recalculation it could be very nice to say hey it's a possibility but that doesn't hold up any weight it's irrelevant there's always a possibility in fact the possibilities are absolutely endless hashem gave us free will and it's all in the torah the torah is endless the torah has no limit right all the possibilities are out there just keep this one we'll talk about free will another time i want to continue back and now back into the clear car itself where he says uh kivwa shemesh right remember the word this the sunset is [Applause] now i think it means that basically it's the sun and the moon that basically it's cl it didn't it didn't it collects the light in other words it didn't expunge there was no light to be seen it absorbed the light and that's why it seemed as if the sun actually set early now earlier on in verse 11 we already explained that the sun set two hours earlier and this is the hint to the setting of the son of israel's son s-u-n usually means the downfall right the end two hours before the original set time which was 852 years instead it was in only 850 years okay now that's all by rishon meaning that's all parallel to the first temple regarding the sunset early now what about what else did yakov do it says the yikach connected by cheney parallel to the second temple it says in a verse that he took the stones plural from that place right we're talking about i think it's verse 11 right so stones is plural what does it say about the second temple you know what a um not a foundation stone or p f what's a rosh pina it's a it's a cornerstone right well when you have an arch or a window you have he's going to call that i think it's called an architect stone at keystone i'm from pennsylvania i should know that right so it's it says over there in zachariah chapter 4 7. when was zechariah prophesying about second temple who are you a great mountain before zerubbabel to sink to you sink to a plane he will bring out the stone of the main architect what's the main architect okay it's very nice to call it that in english what does it mean hebrew evan harosha the headstone that's the owner the architect the thing that's holding the whole building together basically right a cornerstone so let's go back into the clear car he he's comparing that the fact that yonkov took stones plural of the place remember the story how he made a pillow for himself and the the stones all argued quarreled with each other in the medrash because they all wanted to be what under that sonic's head this is an idea that david melik himself made sure when he collected money to buy this piece of property this um granary from maravna he collected money from all 12 tribes so they wouldn't be a civil war they wouldn't be i want the capital in my spot i want a capital in her spot each tribe would want the capital or the the temple god's presence to be in there territory he made it i'm going to use the word international okay he made it or is that a word international in this in this regard in other words inter tribal inter-tribal it belongs to everybody okay so but we're focusing now on the word evan so it says he took a particular stone in our verse in zechariah that's only referring to a particular heaven keep in mind he took amongst he took from the stones lokole avne he didn't take all the stones that were on that place he only took a certain amount kikas keep in mind in the second temple because we're comparing it to the singular word of evan used in zechariah that he didn't take all the stones he took a particular stone keep in mind that there were two stones remember we mentioned there were ten miracles that took place in the first temple and five of them are missing in the second temple in the second temple you were lacking what we call the luchos evan the the stone tablets and what other stones were we missing the breast plate as we said the oranvitum the stones of the oran vitumin were missing so that matches up in parallels with uh by cheney what about the third temple we spoke about being forever it's true but in in um in the dream of yaakov it says the yishkov bamako mahu he lied down he he slept he went to sleep you know he stayed up for 14 years in the the um in the yeshiva of shame and aver okay maybe he dozed off as rabbi braider it's mentioned it's very difficult but okay anyway he finally lied down what is that symbolized lying down he says that finally in yaakov's vision he saw and envisioned that third and final temple that would always exist and never be destroyed he was able to finally then lie down and enjoy a good night's sleep and this is in so interesting because king david himself says in in the 132 verse 14 zolt menuhasi a de aad this is my resting place forever i mean he's thinking in hashem's mind right god is saying this is my resting place forever what we talk about we're talking about the third temple this comes to exclude temple one and temple two which is not forever lo nakum na they have because during those temple periods we we did not have rest from our enemies right we had wars you know there were we didn't rest from our enemies i think it's quite clear and one of the things meshiach will do bazrat hashem will see it soon in our days right a vanquishing right a total victory from our enemies and we do look forward to the true mashiach soon in our days and with that i wish everybody a great week a great travis a great winter and all the health to you and we'll see you next week [Music] is [Music]
