Vayetzei - Moshiach Comes Early

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with aam's NeverEnding assistance in R Israel 2024 this week's para yobu is leaving his home he's going out into exile for 22 years he'll be away from his father's home he's going to meet his wives ra Leia billah Zila he's going to have 12 tribes and he's going to have 12 sons who will be the beginnings of the 12 tribes but what motivates him he's going to because his mother tells him she hears that asov is plotting to kill him waiting for y to die going to kill yov and she says to him go to go to my brother find yourself a wife or wives start the future of am Israel now you have the bras now you can go the thir tells us an amazing iconic event as yob is leaving tells us he leaves he leaves he's on his way he reaches a certain place he goes to sleep he has his dream of the ladder ascending to heaven the Angels rising and descending upon this ladder and our sages tell us it represents the the different lengths of the Exiles that the Jewish people were to experience in the future all kinds of different interesting ideas that are taught to us but I'd like to share with you a medish and the medish is going to teach us something about that we wouldn't have expected I would say and we need to understand what is the significance of it what is the idea of he came to a certain location location so the first thing the M tells us is bikes lavor he was trying to pass literally means he didn't just come but he hit he hit the Walla means to touch he touched the place what does it mean he touched the place so understands it to mean that he was closed in it seemed divinely ordained and it was that he should stop in this location and he should go to sleep in this location he has his dream there as we said he wakes up he real says it's it's an awesome spot it's a spiritual spot but the ptic tells us something else about his hitting this location the reason the P tells us is where the sun had set the sun had set why is it t have to tell us because the sun had set he stopped there got stuck there because the sun had set says the med it was because the son had said the Mage tells us a fantastic thing a very important teaching and we need to unravel what is the teaching what is the depth of the teaching the sun set early the sun set early and if I don't know if you realized or notice that the name of this podcast is mhia comes early so what we're going to understand we're going to try to ploe the depths of is what does it mean that the sun sets early and we'll see soon that there's also a sunrise that occurs early as a direct result of the sun setting early get there and this has to do as the mes is going to say it parallels how mhia Comes the Sun rises early so to speak what does it mean that mashiah comes early but let's read the M together M says this teaches us that hasem caused the Sun the circle of the sun to set early before its regular time if Sunset was supposed to be at 5:00 p.m. it set 2 hours early set at 300 p.m. why because he wanted to speak to yakob ainu in private he wanted to reveal this amazing Revelation that he would have in his dream the dream of the of the ladder with the angels rising and and descending what what's the says this is comparable analogous to a king's beloved friend comes to visit him every once in a while he says the king says look I want all of the lights to be extinguished I want to turn off the lights I want everyone to get out of here I want to be alone with my friend on a little candle light we're going to have a romantic moment together and we're going to discuss important things and discuss our love for each other our special relationship this is what hasem did Hashem extinguished the sun meaning he made the sun go out early the sun set early as thefor explained the says you can also understand it to mean means it came or it went it it set it could also mean hasem put it out Hashem caused it to be extinguished because Hashem wanted to speak to him privately what does this exactly mean so this m appears also in Kal and the explain that it was going to be yaku's first na now in comparison in contrast to non-jewish prophets so the Jewish prophets could receive their prophecy even in the daytime even while the person was completely awake non-jewish prophets would receive their prophecy only excuse me only in a dream but yakob is receiving his first prophecy and his first prophecy the first prophecy of a prophet happens in in when a person is asleep and it's the who explains there in Kal that Yu is about to receive his first prophecy so like sends out as it were all of the other all of his other um close ones he's about to appoint a new close one so he sends them all out he wants to have a private time with him to initiate him into his first prophecy he wants to have him private wants to have him quiet but I want to point out another thing which will perhaps help us understand exactly why Hashem why did Hashem need as it were to make the sun set early what he couldn't wait till he goes to sleep 2 hours later to have this to have this um discussion to have this close conversation with Yu why did it have to be in such a way that the sun sets early what does it teach us and I want to point out just as we start as we continue talking before we get to the answer I want to point out as I said it from the very beginning it's let's take note of the fact that Yu was leaving his father's house leaving is going into Exile because of asov because asov was ready to kill him but also in so doing he's going into Exile in order to find his wives so we could say well y didn't need to leave didn't need to go to he just they just sent elzar to get Rifka Rifka was brought back Yakov needed to apparently go out to Exile why did he need to go to Exile because of asov important to understand that and we'll see what that the significance of that is and how it parallels our golus our Exile and what yaku's return how that parallels as well our return to Isel our return for our long awaited mhia now the mees points out something else which we'll touch on and it's really a whole other get a whole other important very important idea but we're not going to delve so deeply into it but it's worth uh mentioning the name says what does it mean would say that often times the med gives a more literal explanation and of course this is being said you know the magish is always giving us some interesting or far out kind of explanation but often it's because there's something in the language of the verse that's unusual and because of that the Mish is more close toat than theat which means that the med is saying what is the literal words of the PK what do they mean what do they Sayes the words means we said we translate it as the sunet but KES really means the Sun came doesn't mean the sun set so says what does it mean the sun came hears the voices listen to this amazing thing of the of the angels in heaven they were saying the son has come the son has come he hears them in his dream the the malim are coming what are they they're going up on the ladder what are they what are they all excited about there's this intense movement up down what are they all saying they're all saying the sun has come who's the Sun and interestingly the M says that says it in Aramaic as well the sun has come the son has come who's the son the sun is a reference to Y as we'll see Yu is the son Yu is the one who shines the light the sadic shines the light of righteousness shines the light of hem into the world so the Angels were saying here is the sun Here Comes the Sun here comes the sadic Here Comes yobu yob is on his way to shine his light perhaps out into the world as he leaves AR Isel he's got that light he's burning with fire he's burning with the fire of hem he's going to shine that light just like the sun shines and gives life to the world Yakov is coming to give life to the world now the Mish connects this point to another point in in a later point in time we're going to learn about in the coming weeks y when he has his dreams of the 11 Stars bowing down to him which represent his brothers so he also has the Sun and the Moon and the 11 Stars bowing down to him and the sun represents his father Yakov yoseph in his dream it's a powerful idea the dreams of the a were prophetic dreams they held information for them that they needed to know for the future they need to know who they were y hears in his dream the angels are saying the son has come he's the son yose sadic sees in his dream his father represented by the son when yov hears his son mention uh the the dream that he has mention his father represented as the son y says how does how did my son yoseph know that I am the son who revealed this to my son so Yakov knew that it was a true dream and I'll mention it's not here in this medes but there's another medes which speaks of the fact that yosua the leader of Kel brought the people of Israel for the first time into the land of Israel after their soour in the desert he also caused the sun to stand still in the heavens the sun went quiet Stood Still They had to finish the war before shabas Sun couldn't set what did Yoshua say says the M Yoshua said to the to the son my great grandfather yosf yua was from the tribe of Ephraim was from from Yosef my great grandfather Yosef in his dream which was a powerful spiritual Declaration of Hashem you the son bowed down to him you showed your subservience to the tadic to the righteous individual now too you can't set you need to wait we need to stand still so it's very it's amazing because Yosef son bows to him CHS it subservience to him yahushua causes the son not to set here yov hasem caused the sun to set quicker for Yakov in order to give him this Revelation and Yakov is the son Yakov perhaps replaces the power of the son Yakov it's in his that the whole world is mim it has power it has existence now the Mish finishes off with an amazing idea which I said before which is that the sun set early here but now the sun was Ed 2 hours 2 hours it wasn't able to shine for those two hours and let's understand the sun when it shines it's doing its purpose in life it's praising Hashem it's praising Hashem as it shines that's also how explained it in M the the son was told to stop its song It song of Hashem is sung as it shines and as it this the sun knows and sings as it goes through its cycle so it was taken away from it the ability to sing those two hours when didm give back the two hours to the son it was when he came back to his father's house when he came back to is he returns in next week's par yob is going to return with his wives with his children with all of the many acqu Acquisitions he acquired while he was by his father-in-law's house by love one and as he comes back the sun rises early thek says after yobu battles with the angel which is the angel of asov let's he this has to do with as he battles all night he battles all night long with the angel of asov until the morning light and the angel says I have to go I need to sing hashem's praise and yakob says and yob defeats the the angel and ultimately he defeats asov but the sun rises early the battle is so to speak the battle with the angel is cut short two hours early in payback for the two hours that the sun set earlier as yob was leaving says you are a sign what happens to you will correspond to something that will happen to your children your great great grandchild will also go into Exile and they will also return from Exile just like when you leave when yov leaves his parents' house so the sun sets early whatever that means we still need to understand and when you come back the sun rises early which we also need to understand what that means we already started to hear some hints the says when the Jewish people are to leave the land of Israel and it's talking about actually with the destruction of the first says how sad is the one who has so many children referring to am Israel who's going to lose everything that they have when the sun sets for her which means to say it uses the same language the sun setting the sun setting early Sun setting early so just like it was with yob somehow there's a setting of the sun early that happens can think about what that means exactly we we often think of the second bdes the second temple as being as as the first but it wasn't the first BD was built by King in the second English was built in away with permission from the nations of the world which wasn't so good as the talks about it was built by yes but the last of the N most of did not come back from bble for the second mdash there there was a community in Babylonia for the entire length of that second bdes we can think about this further I don't know how much we'll get into it but let's hear the concept of there was a leaving early of two hours so to speak we could say went into guls the first time and when we come back the Final Redemption will happen the says that the sun will R there will be a sun that will rise and as the mag is implying the sun will rise early the some will rise early before it really should come the battle with ASV will end early the sun will rise early and what does the sunrise have to do with Redemption what does that mean exactly what does it mean exactly so I'd like to read you another Mish Mish is in braus very beginning of bres the second chapters hem refers to the day as the light is day and the Darkness is night says who is the day who has power in the day and as I'm explain the day is a reference to the world to come to the time when spirituality Reigns to the times of Messiah which is the introduction the ER shabas into chabas which is the world to come which is has the 7,000 year the Year 6,000 who to whom does that day belong it belongs to Yakov the Redemption is yakov's mhia belongs to Yakov to am Israel not to is not to as not to the Muslim world not to the Christian world belongs to am is who owns the night time the time of Exile the time of Gus who is the who is the one who's in power for these 2,000 years of go it's asov of darkness by says what comes first in the Torah the day does not precede the night the night precedes the day right we begin Shamus the night before Friday night is Shamus already when do we start KHAK we light the KH in the night before the 25th of klave the night is when the day begins first we have the night says the the evening is as he has the night he has the G he has power first the morning to Yakov and as afor explained Yakov is the son as we saw KES it sounds and it sounds backwards right we said means the Sun is setting but it also means the sun has come at the moment that yakob is going into gullis there's a promise of the future this is something that explain here the when hasem creates the world first he creates the the light and the Darkness he creates the light and the Darkness the concept of Light which is going to be in the end is created first the darkness comes first as well in a certain sense the idea of of light comes first the actual darkness comes before the light is his light there's a promise of his light before the dark the evening belongs to the morning belongs to refers to this this combination of evening and day as one day what's the purpose of it all is for the one day what's the one day it's a reference to the Future day of which belongs as we said to yov now let's try to understand things here let's look back and understand and because now that we know that the Night Belongs to asov and now that we know that the day belongs to yakob we can start to understand what the Mish is teaching us also what it means for us personally the Mish is telling us that asov asov prematurely gets power as asov runs yakob out of Israel asov is on the Run he's penniless he's running to to the place where Hashem told AB to leave was sent never left Israel and yov is is kicked out of Israel so to speak and he's and he and the sunsets early what does it mean it means that asov gets premature power and it seems unfair Yakov is the rightful heir of the Jewish people he should stay in Israel let someone else go bring his wives let him start CL Israel iner Israel but ASA usurps yakov's specialness ASV takes it away as of gets it early getss it early the sun sets early what that really means is for me and for you maybe what it means is sometimes things are unfair in life I'm the one who should be the I'm talking for yob I'm the one who should be the chosen one here inel creating a family here the brus the blessings I just received they're mine how I supposed to get these blessings I should get the blessings where is the source of blessing it's Isel is a source of blessing I should be here I should be I should be raising my family here in Israel why does asov for years why does he have soul power sole connection to Y sole connection to Isel for these 22 years it should belong to Yakov but we see that there's a process that's embedded into creation at the very beginning of of creation there has to be a asive there has to be a gus there has to be the Angels going up and down the ladder representing the galius but they also say at the same time the sun sets but the sun has come it means the sun is on its way the sun when it sets the the Earth is still turning and the Sun is still on its way back even when the gulus begins even when Asa has power it's just it's just the it's just the evening it's just a a period of time that you need to get through in order to get to the morning in order to get to the point where yakob ainu is ascendant where Amel is ascendant so we think that something is unfair we think hey it's not what I deserve it's not where I belong but what is the result of it the result of it is that the fact that something was unfair in my life let's say it this way something was unfair in my life the result is that I paid my dues already the sun went out the darkness came early ASV got ASV took over someone who didn't deserve to be there got it instead of me but now the system owes me so to speak I've earned that the light should come earlier or later yaku when he returns the sun rises earlier which means that he's in he's in the overnight all night long fight with yakob with asa's Angel it seems it's forever it's never going to end but all of a sudden the sun just pops up early it just the sun rises two hours early which means that the UN the thing that felt so unfair earlier gives the person the space the space to breathe all of a sudden at the last moment when things were it felt so close like everything is over for me it seems like everyone else is winning it seems like utter destruction think about what's going on over the last year here in n Israel and the hope is rising the hope is coming early we could even say there's a sense that things are changing things are about to change in every area of Earth Israel for following what's going on here but the sun rises early am Israel we don't have to wait until the year 6,000 for mashia to come we're in the year 5,785 tan tan p 5,785 and msia maybe should come later but mhia will not come later the G was started earlier we already paid we paid off the dues we already we already endured everything previously all of the pain of Exile it's finished mhia is already here so to speak we already see the dawn it's happening early all you need to do is open your eyes and you see that we're already far into the process am Isel 7 million strong in Isel already Hashem has given us Incredible strength to fight our enemies so I want to bless you when I ask you to bless me hasm should help us that we should be able to face the challenges that we experience and know that these things somehow the difficulty I'm going through right now it's going to help me in the end sh should help us to have that understanding on a personal level and on a national level thank you so much for listening have a wonderful shamas this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of
