King Yerovam👑 – When a Miracle Isn’t Enough | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

In the book of Kings, Kings 1, we learn of the story about Jeroboam the ben Navat, one of the evil kings of Israel, who in chapter 12 simply outright creates a holiday. Creates a new holiday for me so I can serve his idol. In the month of Heshvan. Also a reason of why we call Heshvan Marheshvan, bitter Heshvan, cuz that's the holiday that Jeroboam created a holiday for idolatry. Now after he does this [music] and gets people to serve idols, Hakadosh Baruch Hu sends him [music] Nevi'im. Sends him a man of God. Sends him a prophet. And the prophet comes to Jeroboam in front of everyone and tells him horrible prophecies of what's going to happen to him if he continues. He's going to die. His family's going to die. This is going to all types of horrible things. Horrible, horrible, awful things. Nothing that I said today is even an inkling of what the prophet told him. It's Sukkim in the Torah. Chapter 13. Jeroboam doesn't like to hear it. He says, "Get him." Meaning to go kill the prophet. As he did this, it says, "Vatish Yado." His hand, Jeroboam's hand, in front of everybody became paralyzed. AS HE POINT, "GET HIM." Hand got paralyzed. In front of everyone. Not that he pulled a muscle. And a little bit of a exercise, maybe a chiropractor or two, a little shiatsu, maybe some No. Paralyzed. It's gone. What would you a person a normal person do >> [music] >> if a prophet tells him the words of Hashem? He doesn't like it and he wants to go against him. But the second he goes against him, Hakadosh Baruch Hu hurts him big time. What does a normal person do? Okay, I'm sorry. Hatati Lashem. Even Par'o Par'o says, "Al avure resha'im." I'm sorry. Par'o said, "I'm sorry." Went back to sin anyway, but nonetheless he at least he he apologized for a second. Yerov'am had his hand paralyzed in an instant. You would think, "Okay, the guy would stop." What does he do? He continues here in chapter 13. He says to the prophet in verse number six. The king then spoke up and said to the man of God, "Please entreat the presence of your God and pray for me so that my hand may return to me." >> [snorts] >> Meaning even then he DOESN'T EVEN CALL GOD GOD. WHAT HE SAYS "PRAY TO YOUR GOD." WHY? Chachamim say "He's your God, he's not my God." Hashem Yishmor. This is a Jew. He's your God, not my God. But pray to him. For what? Just give me my arm back. That's it. Not stop idolatry, not I'm going to do teshuvah, I'm going to keep Shabbat. No. Just I just want to have my hand back. That's it. That's all he wants. And then he does the unthinkable. He says to [music] him, >> [music] >> In verse number seven, he says to him, "Come home with me [music] and dine, and I shall give you a gift." Come right by. I like you. I'm going to keep violating Shabbat, but come to my house. I'm going to write you a check. How much you How much you need to raise for your Yeshiva? How much? You put my name on there? Yeah? Yeah, I'm going to continue violating Shabbat. I'm going to continue stealing. I'm going to continue going against the sham the rest of my life, but up Can you put my name on your Yeshiva though? Cuz I'm going to write you a check. I'm going to write you a check. That's what Yeravam's doing. I'm not doing chuva. HIS YOUR GOD IS NOT MY GOD. YEAH, YEAH. LISTEN, LET ME GIVE YOU A CHECK. Leave me alone. Leave me alone. In so many words, Yeravam, what is he doing? He's not taking it seriously. Horrible things happened. Horrible things happened to Yeravam ben Nevat where the Gemara in Maseches Sanhedrin says, "Ein lo chelek le'olam haba." He is in permanent judgment in Gehennom until his neshama is going to be destroyed maybe in a million years. Meaning, this story took place nearly 3,000 years ago. He has been burning in Gehennom every single second for the last few thousand years. Right now, right now he's listening to this shiur and getting burned at the same time. And it's not going to end ever until the neshama is completely destroyed. And the only thing that's left of it is chelek Eloka mimmal, that's Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Meaning for this opportunity that he missed out on he's burning for thousands of years and [music] will continue to permanently. Why? I could have bought sent you a message. You didn't take it seriously. Cuz the king of more to 1 2 3 >> [screaming] [music]
