okay good afternoon everyone
sh we're continuing in the Yeshua but
today I want to uh Veer off to speak
about an important episode in this
week's paraa that reflects on what we're
learning a friend of M Ravid Brownstein
sent me a letter from
the where the talks about an important
episode in this week's
paraa
and
how what occurred in this week's parish
is really um very telling in terms of
how we need to anticipate and await and
what our attitude should be toward uh
the coming of Messiah let me see if I
could pull this up
here
um here I have it on the screen for
you here we go
here here's the letter of the I have it
uh you have it on the screen you should
be able to read it and I want to read it
with you it's about the story of when
the ream sends
malim and the Torah says that
the that this time next year she'll be
holding a
child and the Torah tells us the whole
story in very great
detail and sar's reaction is she laughs
she says I'm already worn out I'm an old
lady my husband is old she believes she
doesn't believe she's you know she
doesn't really think it's going to
happen
she's could it be that after really I
mean she's old and wrinkled she didn't
didn't have a cycle anymore
was how is it possible that she can have
a child and the Torah says that hasem
says why the lady laugh she
said Hashem had Tinus on her Hashem said
she doesn't have enough
amuna and in the end Hashem fulfilled
his words to the Mal
that and he says s why' you laugh said
no I didn't laugh he said no you laughed
you did
laugh you should know for sure I know
you laugh don't try to hide it from me
abam says she no I didn't really laugh
now I was smirking at something else
somebody made a joke I no you laughed at
the word of
God and that's the story in a
nut I contemplated greatly about this
episode and I I was I was very
bothered everybody
knows everyone knows the Holiness of the
T is very
great there's no
estimation there's not an extra letter
or
word they're all counted they're all
listed it's a
wonder why did speak at such great
length just say Angels Came to AB and
Sarah and they said you're having a kid
and ab said that's wonderful have a nice
day why do I need SAR laughed and Hashem
said why' she laugh and ab says why' you
laugh and she said no I didn't laugh
laugh and I said you did laugh what's
that we need to speak about the G of s
we have nothing better to do than to
speak about the disparagement of to say
she was M she didn't believe the words
of the and what's the whole dispute of
with abah Hashem said you know she
laughed and she said no I didn't
laugh it's very difficult to understand
the story simply
say there must be a great secret
here until the almighty illuminated my
eyes to explain this
subject this I began with with the help
of the
almighty you know what our sages tell us
say this is one of the letters of
the the actions of our forefathers are a
poor tend to their
children we find whatever happened to
our forefathers happens to us says in my
humble opinion this also happens to us
this
story is a
reference to the footsteps of M
when the time will come that Hashem will
reveal himself in the world through the
coming of msia at that time certainly
there'll be great people and those great
people you should know who will be in
the times of the coming of Messiah are
in place of the prophets they are the
prophets
the in the end of days are the prophets
that we have and they will encourage CL
Isel strengthen your amuna do
Chua
you'll only be redeemed if you do cha
like say all the all the dates they're
they're done already in other words the
r told us when Mia is coming we're many
hundreds of years
later I could tell you a dozen who
predict will come they're all they're
all
passed and these will Inspire the Jewish
people they will arouse the Jewish
people and they'll say prepare
yourselves in order
toia says the T you should know when the
come and say you know mashiah is around
the corner there will be people who
are they will not believe they're going
to say after 2,000 years now it's
coming
we've been crushed we've been Afflicted
we've tolerated all kinds of
tragedy well all what Mia is going to
come today when Mia's Com when now
before the Shear's over or after the
she's over when's the Mia coming before
shabas after shabas come on you know
it's a
process so they won't pay attention like
we
find people are going to say I can't you
know mhia can't come I'm too busy I have
to check out Yeshiva World News you know
I'm too busy checking for the 50th time
what's happening in
is people are people will be too
busy and they won't listen so therefore
the T says Hashem is going to have ESS
he's going to
say is can anything be hidden
from meaning well you don't think I
could do it I don't have the ability to
bring mhia right this moment
like it's not it's not Beyond me
says the
whole our whole attitude toward Messiah
is alluded to in the story of Abraham
and Sarah and the malim coming to tell
them that they're going to have a child
so says
there's going to be a big debate when
mhia comes everyone's going to say of
course of course conceptually
theoretically I believe there's a
concept of
mashia and it could happen at any time
like we find by Mor Ander that in one
day all of a sudden in one
day H's leading morai through the
streets and he takes a misstep with es
Esther and he's hanging the next
day so everybody believes it could come
in a
moment but everybody says you
know it's probably going to be in a
couple more years that's what most
people think it's probably going to be
in a couple more years you see first
they're going to wipe out Hamas then the
UN is going to condemn them then there's
going to be a whole dispute and may be a
war and approximately in two and a half
years when's Mia coming he's always
coming in 2 and a half years that's what
most people think but not so
fast yeah but doesn't the
say he's that that the master that
you're seeking will come suddenly what
going on mashia it's going on the
Mal doesn't the P say
he
doesn't the say could fly in four
jumpings he could he could cover the
whole
world so therefore in everyone's mind it
should be
5050 every single day maybe he's coming
today every day a person should wake up
in the morning maybe it's coming today
100% at least
5050 and by the way this
is says that if somebody says I'm a ner
on the day bavid comes he cannot drink
wine ever cuz David might come any day
besides Friday cuz people are too busy
making chalant can't come on
Friday that's why everyone has to make
chalant because if you're not making
chalant it's just what are you doing M's
not coming anyway so you might as well
make the chent
okay therefore every every day a person
should say you know he could come today
I have to wake up in the morning I have
to do chuva I have to be ready I need to
prepare myself to to receive
to but let's look around let's take an
honest look at ourselves did we prepare
ourselves today for the coming of mhia
no did we do any H today for the coming
of Messiah no many people they went to
the store and they shopped for 3 and 1/2
hours
for just the right ingredients for their
chent cuz they believe they're going to
be making chent on Friday but what about
Mia what about the fact mhi might come
today no so what does that say about us
that our belief in mhi
who you said no that's no says it if he
says it it's
not it must be says our belief in is
very little is very small if we would
have believed
so wouldn't we say it's
50/50 says every single word we say
about msia is
superficial because we don't believe
it we talk about Messiah here we get
together every day at 4:30 and we talk
about Mia but we don't believe it says
because if we did we would have woken up
in the morning and we would have
prepared
ourselves we would have got up in the
morning I connect myself today to
to CH cuz maybe Mia will come today I
don't want him to see
my this is what the tah says when s said
no I didn't laugh I
believed abam says God says you laughed
s said no come on I have
auna no no no says you don't really have
amuna you you deep down on some level
you laughed because you didn't have
complete
amuna says was SAR ever punished for not
believing says no we don't find S was
ever punished by the way we have a sheer
some say she was punished that's why she
had the AA she died from the AA she
believed the false report in the AA but
says say she she wasn't punished you
know why cuz herid protected her but
says we don't believe and we don't have
so we have nothing to protect us from
our lack of am on the coming ofia
therefore
says are we doing the right
thing what's our mats of
today is submerged Ed we're drowning
in the San of the
plummets in a frightening
way and from every direction they stand
against us to destroy
us with frightening
decrees that cut to the core of our
existence the new generation says is
being brought up without any amuna they
don't believe in the T the the like
hefer to who to the majority of the
Jewish people and things haven't
changed and if things continue this way
for a few more years
says could we even continue to exist as
a
people says logic dictates that that it
won't be long until mhia comes cuz we're
on such a low level we can't we can't
remain this way
says it's within our capacity to hasten
the Redemption by doing CH let's read
the final
paragraph therefore my brothers and
Friends those
who are are agitated those who have for
the anyone who the fear of God strikes
their
heart we need to prepare
ourselves with all of our
strength for the coming of the
Redemption
everyone according to their
ability by
learning by
learning so we could receive
joyfully anyone who doesn't pay
attention to these
worlds you should know this will cut
straight to your soul the
and you'll have to give an
accounting because when Mia comes he's
going to know who prepared and who
didn't
prepare and at least we'll be able to
say
Mia you know we were very busy but every
day at least a few times a week we were
learning Yeshua we
tried so at least once a day you need to
stop and pause and think I'm doing chuva
to prepare myself for the coming
of it's going to be clear when comes who
prepared themselves who prepare
themselves by learning and doing good
deeds cuz mhi's going to ask you why'
you laugh so I didn't laugh I believed
in mhia
now you laughed you didn't really think
I was
coming but we're going to say no we
didn't laugh we were waiting for you we
waited every single day every day we we
prepared ourselves we did CH every
single day because we wanted to be ready
for
you this is our Messiah is not going to
say to us look we're going to learn the
lesson from s m will not say to
us do you laugh we didn't laugh we're
not going to laugh we don't
laugh we
know he could come
suddenly every day
5050 some of says when's messia coming
today maybe today we're not laughing
maybe
today thank you very much have a good
day everyone we'll continue be next
time
