Tzipisa L'Yeshua Chapter 1 - Why Not Awaiting Moshiach Is Heresy {2}

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com we're continuing in the State Fair ly Yeshua and yesterday we saw that made a very important observations number one he described the state of the Jewish people he says for the first time in a that we've ever seen religion has plummeted to such an extent that people are taking their children away from the Torah mashallah this is something we've never seen before now I just want to refer to something writes in the salasan because this um this observation is not something only writes van that's halashine says this is in our times there are no young people in the base matters who's in the basement you have old peoples the canine old men but there are no young people in the basement now what year was this was published in 1873 okay so this is not even 1930. this is not 1920. this is 1870s Heim seems to be saying that there are no young people in the basement now the first time see peace was printed it seems was 1929. may have because of censorship appendaged it to a journal so this is uh this observation is not only something that was seen in the 1920s but many many years earlier says that it used to be in previous generations it was preferable for a father to see his child slaughtered before his eyes than to see a child in the Pinnacle of success in the secular world um by the way just on that nakuda just on that point we just came back from Spain this is a very important issue that is discussed is one allowed to take their own like life take the life of their children in order uh to save them from spiritual failure and the in the safer he brings that rights Hashem this was very common throughout history where Jews took their own lives in the lives of their children and that ramsaguto brings many many proofs that this is permitted be it from the gemaran get in that the children themselves jumped off the boat so as not to be violated and ramsakuto brings the account of the Sun the grandson of the rush and the the daughter-in-law of the rush the wife of the balaturam who took their own lives so this is this observation is already chronicled historically that throughout his three Jews have taken their lives and the lives of their children so why is this happening what what changed that all of a sudden the beginning of the 20th century people were abandoning the religion says the primary cause is the weakening of amuna in the oil be it a reward and Punishment and all the promises of the Torah but let's continue in um I I wanna I wanna speak about um a very important Indian uh continuing seguing of where we left off yesterday in terms of the source of being met sapel Yeshua we know the rambam tells us in the yud gimmel ikram so in icar number 12. the rambam says I believe in complete faith in the coming of mashiach and now the ramam has a question and even though he delays nevertheless I await him every day that he may come so the following question is brought in the safer shaurya in the name of the briskarov and that is this is uh very uncharacteristic of the rambam the rambam's not tosus tices has questions the entire and he gives answers the rambames no questions and the rambam gives no answers when the rambam talks about the ikor and Imam is that I believe in complete faith that God is Not physical does the Ramba mask or what do you mean it says Hashem doesn't ask that question doesn't say well dibrato Colossians when the rambam says I believe in complete faith rewards and punishments does the Ramones what do you mean what about Sadiq for Allah that's that's only Amir tamiyat the rambam asks no questions and the rambam gives no answers the rambam states or principles of Faith why all of a sudden when it comes to the principle of the coming of mashiach the ramam has this question Anu what's taking so long I don't know but whenever he comes I'm awaiting him why is the ramen all of a sudden have this question says the briskarov in fact the rambam asks no questions and the rambam gives no answers the rambam is stating two distinct articles of Faith the rambam in Parachute of health and base the rambam says the king mashiach is destined to rise and to restore the davidic dynasty and gather in the Exiles says someone who does not believe in the concept of mashiach en or somebody who does not await his coming he doesn't just deny other prophets he denies the Torah and Maisha so the briskarov says from this rambam we see that there are two distinct articles of Faith article number one is one has to believe in the coming of mashiach but article number two is one must await and yearn for his coming and if somebody does not await his coming number one the rambam labels such a person a kaifer a heretic number two the rambam says not only is he denying the prophets he's denying the words of the Hamish tomorrow we'll discuss well where does the rambam get that not only does one have to believe in the mashiach but one has to await his coming where in the Hamish do we see both of these articles of faith you'll be hard-pressed to find any mention of the Hamish let alone an obligation to urine and await his coming but from the rambam we see their two distinct articles of Faith one is to believe in meshiach and one is to yearn for his coming says the briskarov hence the rambam says number one an Imam that's article number one I believe in the coming of mashiach and article number two is even though he's taking a long time not a question and an answer an Article of Faith awaiting mashiach is an expression of emuna if one is missing that then they're a Kiefer according to the rambam now foreign says one should await and believe which means the ramen was clearly adding aside from belief is waiting and why does the rambam say first await and then believe says the briskarov so you don't make a mistake mistake and think that part of Muna is awaiting for him no it's not part of emuna it's a separate article of faith and believe okay and tomorrow we'll have to see where did the rambam get it from yesterday we learned that the Smock derives the obligation where does the rambam learn this from let's continue in the words so what has happened why has emuna slackens and weakens so greatly foreign however because of our many sins today hits the acts of the Satan have been successful through his many agentsal to weaken the roots of belief from amidst both regarding reward and Punishment and regarding the prophets the promises of the prophets when we see the great torment Alis and the difficulties that we have to endure every day even the believing Jews think history that Hashem has completely hidden his face from us and they have given up hope from Redemption you know it's very interesting because just like the smack learns that the mitza of awaiting mashiach has derived from that part and parcel of believing that Hashem is believing that Hashem will take us out of this Galas well then now we find another parallel between mitzrayim and our karangalas namely in mitzrayim many Jews were missing the native writes that the four-fifths that did not survive they were not on a lower level than the fifth that did survive because everyone was basically on the same level the only difference was the four-fifths were Messiah ishman so that's says this is what we see in our time and because people see how difficult life has become this is in the years before World War One during World War one they do not await at all the kingdom of heaven and everyone just turns in his own Direction and they're looking for but some way somehow is the only thing that occupies anybody's attention is making a buck because they see how difficult life has become and they basically think Hashem has hidden himself from the Jewish people and Redemption is hopeless moreover this is not only a phenomenon among the uh Jews who are weak in their observance even the wholesome Jews the straight Jews you really like him God-fearing people when they see the abandonment of the basic midsize when they see that people so many Jews are just casting off the Yoke of shemaim when they look around they see they look around in many places and they see it's become so lenient the most stringent violations for example matters that the Torah obligate death from heaven or short in life for example again this is a very Vivid description of what life was like in Europe in the beginning of the 20th century isn't that in just some places in many places the most severe violations were we're a lenient in people's eyes what does that means women were not going to the mikvahal arayas is the the Issa of Nida is said in the Parish of arayas foreign even observant Jew observant Jews become completely demoralized when they think how is it possible to anticipate the mercy of heaven and our generation after the Jewish people have annulled the Torah in such a profound way so yes even Jews who inherently believe in the coming of mashiach yeah sure mashiach is coming but not for this generation not in generation where there's flagrant violation of the most we're not talking about people not fulfilling we're talking about abandonment of Lavin of the asserts of issue and because of this people slacking off completely even to try to correct the small amount of people that they possibly could save from descending to Oblivion in other words even God-fearing Jews who are observant when they see the flagrant violation of the ikarim of yahados so they said forget it mashiach's not coming in this generation maybe maybe in a different generation and then they just throw in the towel even though technically they could have turned to their neighbor who still is hanging on and say rabid you know don't forsake the Shabbos don't close down the Mikvah but they say what's the purpose what's the point the religion the generation has gone down the drain so this is not only um symptomatic of those Jews who are uh lacks in their observance but even urea Muslim they've based them basically given up thrown in the towel and have abandoned any hope of a realistic possibility of mashiach coming for their generation and therefore says we'll read three more lines therefore I find I have found and obligatory for myself for my soul to set forth before Allen the truth of the matter just the opposite pink it is more realistic to anticipate the salvation and this is something that we could possibly um that resonates with us we think will mashiach come for Our Generation in our country where the majority of Jews in our country are assimilating we're seven out of every ten hassanas that take place in our country our intermarriage where most Jews don't know Shema Israel not only are Mahal don't even know what Shabbos is is this a generation that Michelle will come from so this this fear that says this attitude that many people had in his time we definitely uh definitely resonates with us could we say the same about our generation says in our times in his times and in our times it is more possible it is more likely it is more important to await the coming of okay and we'll continue here tomorrow thank you everyone for joining have a great day you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
