Things are happening in Israel. And
when things happen beyond what what what
people can imagine, we have to ask
ourselves what's going on.
Is it chaos? Or or is there some kind of
method to this madness? And that's what
we want to explore right now. So, my
name is Itzhak Bitton. I'm in between
bomb shelters and
my home with my family, 7-year-old
daughter, my 17-year-old daughter, my
19-year-old son, and of course my wife.
And in the middle of the night on the
holy Shabbat, we are
forced to run down to the bomb shelter.
You're exhausted in pajamas. What do you
do? Is it really [clears throat] going
to hit where we are? And of course it
could hit anywhere. And so look at the
situation we're in.
And that's what we're dealing with right
now. Dealing with the Shabbat before
Purim, approaching the Purim holiday. My
daughter has her costume ready and a
party ready. And again, all of this of
course is put on hold because reality
tells us it's time to fight for our
lives. At least if we're not fighters,
pray for our lives.
What I want to start with is telling you
not to just follow the headlines blindly
and not just to read the news.
In this day and age, we have to
understand God is speaking. God is
screaming at us. He wants to get the
world's attention and and we're part of
it. And so don't read the news. Read the
Bible. What what do I mean read the
Bible? When one reads the Bible, he sees
black and white. The words on the page
are screaming because the prophet that
speaks for God is telling us this is
what God did. This is why God did it.
And because of such and such, this is
what God is doing and going to do. For
example, the Jews strayed from the path
of God. God sent the Philistine, the
today we would call Palestinians, to
come and attack us. When terrorists
attack, when enemies attack, the Torah
and the Bible shows us
it's coming from God. And if we divorce
God from the story, then all you have is
news, random, chaotic, and and and all
hope is lost because the the strong
survive and the weak perish. And the
righteous and the good are the first to
perish in a world that's just chaotic.
However, in a world that God is in
control and running things, then there's
hope. He takes mind of the little orphan
girl Esther in the Purim story. And
there was hope for her. It looked bleak.
It looked scary, and the story is
difficult to read at some parts.
However, we see at the end that God
never left her side, and the miracle is
testimony to the fact that God was there
all along.
So, let's take a look at the headlines.
How did we get here? What exactly is
really going on beneath the surface?
What is it
all for? Why is it worth it that we, as
Jews in Israel and around the world,
should stand up today as Jews and risk
our lives and face the hatred and face
the isolation? Why? Isn't it just
simpler or easier to just say forget
about it? When something is hard,
sometimes you get to a point where you
say,
"Who needs it? It's not worth it." But
thousands of years, the Jews have not
said, "We don't need it. It's not worth
it." Because there's something deep
here, and God's trying to reach a place
deep within us right now.
We have to understand that the news
doesn't just happen.
We make the news.
And even beyond that, we don't make the
news.
God makes the news.
So, how does it all work? How does the
news just happen? How do we make the
news? And how does, in the end, God make
the news? Well, that's what life is all
about. God did not create robots. God
did not want a scripted world that's
going to do as he wants robotically. God
gave us free choice, and we create
tomorrow. Our choices of today make
tomorrow. And so news that seems to just
happen is made by us and even what we
choose to do. And the lives choices that
we make, that's also part of God's plan.
And so life is a co-production of God
and us working together to bring us
somewhere. Where that somewhere is is
what we're all still trying to find out.
Now, the truth is in order to see God in
our lives right now,
it's hard because we only see what's in
front of us. Everyone has a kind of like
a surface vision. We see what's on the
outside, but getting to the inside
is the work. And so what's the point
right now?
Beyond what we see as random events,
we kind of have to go deeper to find the
connection
of those events. And how do we do that?
So the Purim story shows us how to do
that.
The Jews in Shushan saw random events,
saw chaos, they were in fear, they were
facing annihilation, similar to what's
happening to to Jews of today.
Not only in Israel, around the world,
the hatred is has exploded,
gone nuclear, we'll just say that. So
how do you get to the to the heart of
what's really going on? Where is the
system behind all of this? And so the
Purim story shows us the only way you
can really see clearly what's going on
is when you look back at what happened.
And so I want to start by expressing and
exploring what's going on right now, and
let's really understand how this truly
came to be.
So we have what we call joint military
operation with the US, the one of the
most powerful
country lead
countries leading the world for for for
decades, centuries.
America.
And we have Israel, a tiny blue dot on a
map that you have to blow up 50 times to
to to start to see it. So, how did
Israel get a partnership with America?
Donald Trump and we're fighting Iran,
the head of most of the terror
organizations all around us that have
been bothering us for for for decades.
So, let's go back. Let's go back.
>> [laughter]
>> Um we we learn in the Megillah that this
the king was sleeping, right? What a
beautiful beautiful twist. We're going
to You're going to like this one. So,
the king Ahasuerus was sleeping in the
Megillah. I know another king, a
modern-day king. Cuz what's the
modern-day king? Presidents of countries
are modern-day kings, especially of
America. You could almost say that the
president of America is the level of
Ahasuerus, someone who rules the world
and was involved in what's happening
around the world. 127 provinces, we have
the states and all of the countries in
the United Nations. And so, you see
America's got their hands on the whole
world. And what do we have in the White
House? Let's go back
4 5 years.
We have sleeping Joe.
>> [laughter]
>> Sleeping Joe.
I mean, could could you write a script
better? I wouldn't trust him to bring my
daughter home from school on a bus.
Let alone run an entire country that has
its effect on the entire world. Yet, God
Almighty
puts at the head of the Democratic
radical left party sleeping Joe.
Or maybe the call should have been wake
up Joe, not sleeping Joe, but wake up
Joe. I don't want to make fun of
anybody, but it's really funny when a
president of the United States, the most
powerful person in the world,
is is not even awake. You wouldn't put
your daughter in a car driving with him.
It would be considered actually
negligence to do such a thing.
And here you see the power, the great
power in America that that had taken
over. You want to get into the
conspiracy theories? That's a discussion
for another time. But bottom line, there
was a takeover in America. America was
no longer a conservative, biblical
valued, normal husband wife live happily
ever after on your farm or wherever you
want to live with a beautiful family
values. It was corrupted until the point
that Disney has to make a movie about
two gay kids without telling anybody so
that you have an entire
world that came to see this movie and
then my brother calls me and says he's
upset. We went to a movie we thought we
were watching a Disney movie and all it
was was another campaign to try to
brainwash kids that it's okay to to get
married to a man or to become a man and
vice versa.
BUT THIS THIS POWERHOUSE of radical left
America, Democratic, woke, whatever
however you want to define it
was dismantled. How?
Sleeping Joe.
God put the at the head of this machine
Joe Biden and unfortunately they
realized when it was too late that the
world will not be fooled twice into even
trying to vote for Joe Biden and
it was almost the point of no return.
They tried to substitute him with some
popular young president to be, you know,
go with liberalism, a woman, go with
diversity, it was a black woman.
Whatever you want to try to do, it
didn't work and it wasn't going to work
because you got to have something to say
at the end of the day to keep people's
attention. And so here's step one of the
poor miracle, poor him 2026, the poor
miracle.
God said I'm putting my buddy
Trump, the American Messiah, Trump
in office. I want my Donald Trump
running America because he had plans
that no one could see. And Trump comes
into the scene.
A double triple miracle. It was a
miracle that he won the first time.
To win twice after they threw all the
books at him, all the conspiracy
theories at him. He was like the most
hated person in America by the the
Democratic left. Even my own brother
tells me when I have when we get into
the conversation that Trump almost
destroyed America.
They did a good job in doing everything
they could according to nature to keep
Trump out. But when God says I want
something to happen, it's going to
happen. And so beyond nature
one of the biggest miracles that we've
seen was Trump walking right into
office. And that sets up the stage for
act two. What is act two? No more games.
No more games with the Jewish people
that are surrounded by enemies that are
throwing rockets and bombs at them every
5 minutes, running to shelters. No more.
No more paying terrorists. Good job. You
only killed a few Jews. Kill a few more
and we'll give you even more money. None
of that. Trump back in office, a true
friend with a Jewish daughter. And
that's from God.
And what happened? You have now fast
forward, we can make sense. Just look
back and see the patterns. See the hand
of God. See the miracles. They They come
to They come to light right before your
eyes.
Trump
with America together with Israel and of
course Netanyahu is our uh
prime minister. And of course the Jewish
people though, the Jewish people, the
Bible people, God's people in their
homeland, this is all the salvation of
God that works behind the scenes. And
you have today a joint
military war, attack, whatever you want
to call it, against Iran, the head of
the snake, the the Amalek of today, the
enemy of the Jew. And we see their
tactics. There's no secrets. There's no
surprises. You think that they're really
involved in anything moral, in any
agenda. They have no goals. They have no
real dreams. They have nightmares. They
want to kill. They want to murder. They
want to destroy. And what do they want
to murder and kill and destroy? The Jew.
It doesn't have to be a Jew that's in
the army. Doesn't have to be a Jew
that's fighting in the war. Any Jew. And
we see it. We see it today. We see it
yesterday. And we see it all the time. A
Jew is a Jew. If I could kill one more
Jew, that's one more step towards our
goal, our victory, replacing the Jew
with us, the new Jew, the Muslim Jew,
with the Quran that
borrowed its entire basis, its entire
way of life from the Bible, from the
Torah, from the Jews. Give us what you
have, and of course they want to erase
us after the fact. So, when it's all
said and done,
the world owes a tremendous thank you to
perhaps the greatest president of all
time. Actually, I was just trying to
impersonate Trump for a moment, but uh
a very good president for the Jews, for
Israel.
And a person that says what he means, at
least you know what you get with Trump.
Okay, he can go to extremes, but you
know what? In an extreme world, I guess
that's the president that's necessary
for today.
Either way, we have to say thank you to
Trump for the miracle of Trump, and of
course ultimately have to say thank you
to God for the miracle of Trump, because
that's God's tool. God put Trump where
he wants him
to save, to do the saving that needs to
be done. I call him the American savior.
He's not only fighting for the Israelis,
for the Jews, he's fighting for America,
he's fighting for biblical values. He's
a true, true, true fighter for Hashem,
for God in today's world. Just like any
king, as the sages teach us based on the
Tanakh, that the heart of kings, and of
course today's presidents, as much as
they don't really resemble kings, is in
the hands of God. I'll give you another
example, just a side point, it's not our
discussion for today. Today we're really
speaking about about Purim and how to
learn from Purim and today's current
events, and how to learn how to read the
Bible together with the news, so that we
can have a world that has God involved
instead of a world that God has
abandoned. And so, here's another little
idea of headlines, and when presidents
and country leaders act crazy, well,
it's not necessarily that they went
insane. It's that God wants something
from them that they're not ready to do
it. So, what seems like it's sanity is
again God pulling the strings, God
pushing those buttons. And I'll tell you
another big secret. The Kabbalah and the
Zohar and the Kabbalists, they say that
in the end of days, the final exile, the
final darkness, the final enemy, the
final evil, guess what it's going to be?
Well, you take a vote today, it's
probably the Jew, probably Israel.
Right? Like the famous saying, if aliens
would come to the world and just do a
bit of research, or if you would let AI
do some research, it will come out that
if you would get rid of the Jew,
you'd have Mashiach, you'd have a peace
on Earth, and that's
obviously not true.
The The evil that the final evil that we
face as God's people
that have to come together for goodness
and for truth
is the evil of
Islam.
And the bit descendants of Ishmael,
Ismail. And I want to qualify it
immediately before people get the wrong
idea.
Islam itself and all of the Muslim
people around the world, the the more
than 2 billion people, they're not evil.
They're not all evil.
But there's a core madness, there's a
core radicalized, insane, blow yourself
up, the whole world's going to become
ours by force,
by any means necessary, and that is the
evil of Islam. And again, the silent
majority, or all of these passive
Islamists that believe in God, believe
in in the values of Islam, which is
obviously the Torah. We all have the
same core values, we all believe in the
same God. My father from Egypt, I could
hear his voice saying all the time, "And
Allahu Akbar." That's how my father
Allahu Akbar, yes, God is great. The
Elohim Gadol, and God is great, and
Allahu Akbar, and
We believe in the same God. So, why is
this such a mess? Why is there so much
madness? Because when evil, selfish,
jealous people want to use religion and
God in order to to destroy, so that's
sacrilege. That is a desecration of
God's name.
Killing God's children in the name of
God, can you believe it? Throwing a bomb
on a house in Beit Shemesh, nine people,
an entire family wiped off the face of
the earth.
Husband, father, children, all in the
name of
"We don't want you there. We don't want
you anywhere." And that's sick. And
that's sick.
And in the end of the day, don't give me
any stories.
The Iran regime and the Iran government,
it's just another terrorist organization
with a smile and a handshake and a knife
in the back as soon as you turn. Because
they're sending ballistic MISSILES ON
HOMES OF FAMILIES. Old people, young
people, children. They're no better than
Hamas that raped, robbed, murdered,
BURNT ALIVE, CHOPPED HEADS OFF. I have a
friend who saw it live. Heads chopped
off. Naked women on the street. You know
what happened to them. Then they killed
them and chopped their heads off.
We know what Hamas is. AND ALL HAMAS IS
is the hand of Iran. And the hand of
this sick beast called radical, "I want
to destroy this world. Either have it
all or blow it all up world." That's
what we're fighting against. And as soon
as we get our fixation off of me, this
big mouth loud mouth Jew that you think
if I leave you won't have a headache
anymore. If I leave you'll have an even
bigger headache. Because without the
Jews in the world keeping everything in
place, the world would really be in
chaos and madness. So let's respect and
understand. God put us here and we're
not going anywhere. You can huff and
puff. Take a look around. 6,000 years we
haven't gone anywhere. And in the end of
this war, and in the end of all wars, we
will still be here. So get the point and
make the right choice.
Join us or join us. Because that's what
it's really all about. We fight for
life. Yes, we fight for life. Like
Abraham did. Abraham had to fight for
life and he went and waged war against
the five kings.
With the four kings that war. And so if
Abraham, the man of kindness, the most
kindest person that ever existed in
life, had to wage war, then you
understand that also Jews and Israel
have to wage war when it's necessary.
Killing enemies that are going to kill
us anyway, that's saving lives. And in
war, the first rule is stay alive, don't
die, come back home. And if someone's
going to become an orphan, IT'S YOUR
ENEMIES
to the children that are going to become
orphans, not your not you and your
children. That's just war. And that's
how it's got to be said cuz if you can't
be strong when you need to be strong,
then you will won't be able to be kind
when you need to be kind. Kindness in
the wrong place is is cruelty in the end
of the day. And that's what we saw. We
saw sleeping Joe and a sleeping America
or at least a brain dead America
throwing their kindness any and
everywhere. And it was missing the
it was missing its mark. When you show
kindness at those that don't deserve it,
those that do deserve it suffer. And
Israel was suffering and many people
around the world are suffering and many
people in America are suffering because
of the misplaced, warped, twisted
kindness that that that that the mad
Democratic America wants to convince
themselves is the new truth, the new way
to be, the new human being. All the new
human being is is a is a is a is an
idol-worshipping, self-worshipping
person that wants to have a war against
God. And that's what Trump understands
and realizes and that's what a world
today has to recognize. The fight we
have to take to where the fight really
is. The fight is against God. And God
will take care of himself. But along the
way, we all have to decide where do we
stand. Are we with or against? Are we on
the right side of history or the wrong
side of history? And so that's who I'm
trying to talk to. Everybody out there
that has some sense and that wants to
listen to where to turn, what to do, how
to view.
Bring God into your life, read the
headlines and the Bible together. See
God's hand in all things by looking back
like in the Purim story, and you see the
hand of God come to light come to life.
We God wants partners in life, not
murderers, not those who want to destroy
and kill and take lives. And so the
solution right now, there's only one
solution. We're facing a war, we're
facing bombs. We've been running still
even today and we're going to probably
have poor him, who knows, running
between bomb shelter and reading of a
megillah and that's also from God. The
chaotic
contrast of praying to God, singing the
song, singing the megillah of of God's
salvation and redemption while we're
running to bomb shelters. This is where
God put us right now. Are we going to
get angry? Are we going to have despair?
That is certainly
uh realistic
result and I wouldn't blame anyone that
does, but we can rise higher because if
God is here now and God was here
yesterday, then God will always be here.
And God's presence and reality is our
reality. So we have to recognize who the
real king is. The real king is God. And
if we want to be with that king, then we
have to make hard choices. Hard choices
today and the choices for Hashem. The
last king that's going to rise up and
take over the world once again is not
any mortal king and is not any mortal
religion. It's God himself will come
back and that's what the Messianic era
is and that's what Mashiach represents.
And let's understand the goal and we'll
understand how to get there hopefully.
And the goal is this. Zephaniah says it
uh
straight up in the Tanakh, in the Bible.
In the end of the day, God wants all of
the world and all of its people that
will choose good and live with him
happily ever after forever.
That's the goal. Unity within diversity,
everyone in their place. And of course,
that blue dot will might might get an
expansion, will grow a bit in size and
that blue dot's not going anywhere.
Accept and respect.
Israel and that blue dot is staying cuz
God wants it there. Obviously, just look
at history will tell you what tomorrow
holds. We are staying. Question is
take your place and be happy with what
God gives you around this blue dot
and we can all live happily ever after
in God's world with whatever colors you
want, the colors of a rainbow. Every
religion, every people, every place
for peace, for happiness, and for unity
within diversity. And that's the goal.
And it's just hard hard to get there and
hard to see how we're going to get
there.
But hopefully with what we discussed
today, and God willing there'll be a
part two to this if I
am healthy enough to be giving talks
after the behind stop, there'll be a
part two to this and a part three. At
the end of the day, that anywhere worth
getting to takes time and takes effort.
And hopefully worth getting to is our
final destination, a humanity that
functions as human beings together,
where we all make space for each other,
we all have love for each other, we all
have time for each other, and ultimately
we have for us
everything that Hashem wants us to have.
And it's there right in front of our
eyes. It's just a matter of learning
from the our mistakes and redirecting to
that final final place where God wants
us all to reach. He wants us to reach
there on our own, and he wants to meet
us there because if he did it for us,
then this would be nothing more than a
a Purim play. And we don't want a Purim
play. We want the secret of life hidden
in the Purim play and the Purim story.
And that is the fusion of humanity
together with God Almighty the creator
that creates an unbelievable story of
life that we are co-producers and
co-producers and directors of our own
destiny, of our own tomorrow. May we
merit to see Mashiach Tzidkeinu, peace
on earth, and the final part that will
never stop coming to fruition in you.
Amen.
