Tzipisa L'Yeshua Chapter 1 - The 2 Classes of Jews At the Time of the Coming of Moshiach {4}

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com we're continuing in the safe Earth see peace of Yeshua usually uh it's Monday through Wednesday this week we're doing it uh Thursday as well uh next week though uh there's gonna be Hiatus of this safer and we continue the week after so we're speaking about the important Indian of being met sapele Yeshua of what part of the day should one have this on their mind how often should one think about this time writes in one of his letters in his letter shinla Med gimmel that he cites the rambam that we've mentioned that anyone who doesn't believe in the coming of mashiach or does not actively await his coming is not only a kaifa in the words of the navient but in the Taira foreign says how often should one think about this this should occupy a person's mind the entire day he even brings from the briskarov this is what we say in davening for your salvation we hope the entire day so that's a a great ambition that's a a very great achievement that this should occupy a person's mind literally the whole day he brings that the majority of the essay is occupied with the future Redemption is so if a person is distant from these ideas then a person is distant not only from the samuna but from Phila in general because how could a person's Fila have any meaning with if a person does not have a genuine connection to uh being matsapol Yeshua okay so the subject that we're learning is uh is so important aside from its relevance to that great question of Yeshua but it's one of the central principles of FILA as well Okay so yesterday we we discussed the contradiction that is found between the sukim tell us that the conditions necessary for mashiach to come repentance the shamata because observance of the Torah from we need chuva we need smears and yet if you look in the mishnah you look in the gemara the conditions necessary are just the opposite will proliferate the rebuke will be empty the Young will disparage the elderly the elderly will have to honor the young children will disparage their parents a daughter against her mother a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law the wisdom of the sages will be despised truth will run run like a torrent there'll be a great great slander so on the one hand from the succumb we see that from it requires tremendous uh observance on the other hand from the mission of the gemara in order for mashiach to come what is needed is a very uh a a generation that is plummeting and says we're up to the paragraph there are many answers to this question the explanation of the matter closest to its most straightforward simple interpretation is as follows they're both true there will be two types of people and both types of people will assist in bringing the Redemption closer in other words there'll be good guys and bad guys and we need good guys and we need bad guys and the good guys will help Michelle come and the bad guys will help and the question is who would you which team would you rather belong to everyone is going to be working for the boss some are are going to do it on the good team on the winning team and some are going to be working for the boss on the losing team namely Israel they will be found a portion of people in they will strengthen themselves Hashem to serve Hashem with all their heart with all their soul they and their children and that generation him left rights at a time that there will increase those who breach the fences and who breach and destroy the Holy religion and how do they do that they reboise through the the many books of heresy I'll show you that they disseminate among the people was talking about it in his times of Miller would say how the newspapers destroyed the Jewish people he's talking about the Jewish newspapers and in a certain sense we have the same thing today we have newspapers that want to tear down the values of the Torah be it Family Values be it values of sanctity be it about Earth Israel but the uh wrote this almost 100 years ago so in our times the application would be whether it's uh those who disseminate information on the various platforms that are available today be it the internet be It Whatever whatever technology uh offers today I'll show you a feature of the Caravan that they disseminate among the people taiva it's not just values of heresy but different schemes of Desire the hemda and lust the Agents of the eight Sahara so that we've we certainly have today we're the the enticement of of pleasure the enticement of promiscuity is so rampant and blatant more than it ever was in the history of the world the forces that cause one to cast off the oak of Heaven Torah and service but Ace has always at a time like this Israel those remnants of the wholesome in belief among Israel that strengthen themselves and put in great effort to guard to preserve to observe all the laws of the Torah shalajara not to slacking off Hashem and not only at a time like this where there's such negativity and a torrent of influence to cast off the Yoke of the values of the Torah and to fall prey just to become immersed in the Thai voice at a time like this those Jews who are steadfast in their observance and not only them but they give their children they teach their children from whatever is written not to the right not to the left certainly their madrego will rise above and above because what they achieve will be with great difficulty and with great shame much worse than in earlier Generations I think we do have to say that part of what the time is saying may not be as relevant in 2023 as it was at the time that it was written and part of what he's saying is even more relevant in 2023 than at the time that it was written the reality in Europe was the young people were not interested in continuing in the ways of the Torah The Winds of the street were to all the full side theologies socialism the bundes the yiddishes the Communists the the early zionists and the Heart of the youth was being taken away from the Torah so in those times and those who who maintained who remained steadfast to the Torah they were scorned they were shamed they were ridiculed so if somebody would have strengthened themselves in their observance in the times that would have been a that would have taken Herculean effort and that would have warranted that Hashem would redeem such a generation in our times do we encounter the same challenge probably not the same while uh unfortunately in our country the majority of the Jewish people is being lost to assimilation but those Jews today in our generation who are observing Tyra who are observing the midslice who are learning beyond their schooling years into their years of marriage you know in a way it's akshardhara nobody is being scorned really nobody is being shamed and in a certain sense it's probably easier today to be observant and to be committed than it was in the times as surprising as it would sound in this regard so regarding that point perhaps in the times it was more relevant but regarding the other point and therefore overall the the argument is extremely compelling and that is what a person has to give up today to remain committed to the Torah the temptations that are available today that were not available in the streets of Lithuania or Poland or Hungary in the beginning of the 20th century the tivos that are available today what a person could do what a person could see what a person could experience the promiscuity the taiva the desire the lust the yet Sahara of arayas that is available today is not much worse is not a thousand times worse is on a different Stratosphere than what a person had to encounter in the times writes that what we ask a young man to do today to devote his life to the service of Hashem that is nothing short of an akedah so while the ridicule and the shame perhaps is not experienced today as it once was but overall the Yates are Hara today is yeah in all likelihood stronger than it was in a hundred years ago and it's very interesting we'll talk about this more at length the the Ariza would tell replying vital that a Mitzvah I will develop this more in future sure my Mitzvah that he does in his time is much more valuable perhaps even than Mitzvahs that were performed by the tanoim and that is because our result says in his time are out of control could you imagine in the 16th century that Riza is saying that the forces of Tama are out of control well if they were out of control in the 16th century what would the Ariza say about the satoma today I don't know the it'sohara today is on steroids a thousand times so therefore overall I think the point of the is as compelling As It Ever Was namely in our times namely in our times those who remain steadfast to the Torah and give their children over to the Torah it is much more difficult than in earlier generations and therefore we apply what it says in others we know what it says performing amitsal one time with difficulty is the equivalency of Performing the Mitzvah a hundred times when it was not difficult so in other words we could make the case that the avoidas Hashem of Our Generations is the equivalent of the Hashem of a hundred earlier Generations because even though yes we have it easy and we have every convenience but we also have much greater yet Sahara and the service of such a time to Hiro Nakia is pure and clean eyes because there's no ulterior motive well you're going to have covered you have other ulterior motives times the service of Hashem only brought mockery and disparagement so what kind of ulterior motive would a person have just the opposite it's been fulfilled and because of our many sins visarlal that one who refrains from Evil is foolishu and those who fear God are despised it's in the eyes of a certain classes of people will be a time of great repentance and great observance and the gemara says no be a time that the level of Jewish people is plummeting and the answer is yes what does that mean there are two groups of people and each one helps bring mashiach closer those who abandon the religion make it easier for mashiach to come because they make it harder for those who remain steadfast to the religion they make it harder for them therefore what they do is more valuable it's so valuable they'll be the ones to bring mashiach closer okay and we will continue this Bezos Hashem uh not next week and the week after visit Monday at 4 30. thank you everybody for joining wishing everyone a wonderful Shabbos kalta you've
