What Is Moshiach? The Rambam’s View #2

good morning everybody and welcome to what is meshiach part two the rambam's view second part of the series and new understanding and what is mashiach quite different than many of our perceptions i'm going to analyze the rambam's perspective what is meshiach what is gula okay if those who want to follow inside please open your source sheets we learned the rambam inside last week today we're going to continue the shir the sikha of the la bhavachireba on this rambam dissecting every one of the four halachas in rambam pay record owl of the laws of kings chapter 11. i'm going to give a very brief summary of what we learned last week so we could continue next week if you want to open your source streets if you have the city yourself that's fine could they say is volume 18 bullock or the varmalcos that they published with it and if you go to the yeshiva.net we also have the source sheets and you can go to the home page and you'll see the class for today what is mashiach part two and above the video and below the video we have the source sheets and we're holding in those source sheets where are we holding we're holding page we're up to page 11. yes page 11 if zion beautiful okay on uh on zoom you could see me and hear me cover on zoom wonderful thank you brief summary de rambam and hilce malachim chapter 11. writes for halachas that's the whole parikh the first allah he says that mashiach is going to come and restore the sovereignty of david to its original glory build the base amiktas gather all of the jewish people from all over the world back there to strong the laws will return the way they were in the past and the days of your we're going to offer all the offerings we're going to perform schmidt all the mitzvahs the way that's all these mitzvahs the way they're recorded in the torah and then he says whoever doesn't believe in it or doesn't await the coming of mushrik not only is he denying the prophets but he's denying torah moshe because the torah testifies that the jews are going to return to israel and also in the portion of bilaam you have a prophecy about two mashiach the first mashiach david who saved the jews in his day and the final mashiach who's going to save the jews at the end and the rambam goes through the sukham in the portion of billam he goes to tupesukim with four prophecies and shows irena vilayatta is david ashan of alekarev is mashiach of david come as you could look it up in the rambam and we explained it at length last week then allah base says also in the portion of our mikalat and parish it says that when hashem broadens your borders you should add another three cities of refuge that never happened and the mitzvah is certainly not in vain and therefore this also proves that the torah predicts and promises that mushrik is going to come in terms of the prophets you don't need any proof all the books are filled with this says don't think mashiach has to make miracles he doesn't have to resurrect the dead he doesn't have to defy the order of the world look at rabia akira akiva was a great sage and he and his colleagues he says all the colleagues all the sages of his generation supported ben kuziwa barca never asked for him they never asked him to make a miracle he says he was killed at the end and once he was killed they realized he's not mashiach but they thought he was they all thought he was how could they think he was if he never made a miracle proof is that mashiach doesn't have to make any miracles and therefore this is not a way to test the authenticity and the rama continues and the primary point there is that all the laws of the torah stand forever and ever don't add to them and you don't take away from them the final one he says and if a king from base david stands up and he's immersed in tight and he's immersed in mitzvahs like dove at his father according to terishab examination and he compels all the jewish people to follow that path and he fights the wars of god he is considered or assumed to be mashiach if he's successful in all the above and he's victorious over the nations and he builds the basement and he gathers the jewish people that i just know then he's certainly meshiach and then continues if he's not successful or he's killed we know he's not the masjid of the titan promise even though he's a kosher fine king like the other kings of base david and then he goes into a whole long discussion which was deleted for most randoms because of the sense of what we learned it last week that christianity and islam rose up in the world they christianity claim to have produced the mashiach as it's absurd it creates so much bloodshed and violence and and dispersed the jewish people and and humbled them and crushed them and and and wreaked havoc and destruction but the rambam says nonetheless it was part of the divine plan because by introducing monotheism both christianity and islam help bring civilization closer to the ultimate rev to the ultimate redemption when the divine consciousness will indeed pervade all of humanity and mashiach the real mashiach will ultimately repair the whole world to serve one one god that's basically very briefly the structure of the fourth the eleventh chapter of ilkhis malachimal is the second to the last chapter of the rammus when we dissect this chapter in rambam it's filled it's saturated with question after question after question especially knowing the meticulousness and the precision of the rambam and we discussed many of the questions last week and very briefly i'm going to repeat again very briefly i'm going to suggest whoever didn't and even if you did you can watch the replay on the yeshiva.net t-h-e-y-e-s-h-i-v-a-dot-net you can watch the replay of the first class where we went through this rambam quite slowly and discussed you know the details of the rambam's articulation of mashiach and the various questions that come up but i'm just gonna i'm going to uh go through them very swiftly the first question is the rambam is not a a a purish a commentary explaining yet here he does something very interesting after he says when you deny mashiach not only denying the navy also denying torah and moshe he has to prove where does torah speak about mashiach why am i denying time so he brings a passage of hashem promises that there's going to be an ultimate ghoul all the jews are going to come back after exile fine that didn't happen yet so that's proof for meshech but then he adds there's also parishes bilum why does he have to add that not just to bring the second proof because vashawa kahashwar doesn't tell you there's going to be a mashiach it just tells you jews are going to come back could be the real estate in israel will be good they'll be the best place for jews to go back the point is by billam we see that there's a prophecy about mashiach becomes israel is going to be a mashiach but then the question is why does the rambam go into this whole detailed discussion that part of the succumb of billam deal with david and part of the success and then he even goes through every verse showing which part deals with david which part deals with why is that relevant here it's interesting commentary on human but that's not the function of the rambam amba didn't could have even just said oh some parishioners bill them you have the prophecy because it says in bill and i'm going to tell you what's going to happen in the future if you want to say that but the rambam goes and analyzes each passage and also the first type of the process that is dealing with which is not even connected to machine again it's nice things it's nice commentary on hummus but that's the job of the meforshim rashi tagamun kulas the ramban they have gemaras that explain their pop circumaga says i have another proof from tara from ari mikhala one second the first two proofs you put in so why don't you put in the third proof also so you say no because it's a new proof so then the second proof should have been based either put all the three proofs together in one allah or separate them into three it's not what he does proof one and two verse proof number three goes into tone that's not fair what's the what's the logic here next question has an interesting title here for david bishne bingham spoke about two mashiachs wha why this title why is david called meshech you say well he was anointed he was anointed with oil shall was also anointed with shall is also called even if you want to say that pasuk is talking about david to coin our phrase unique phrase about david so you want to say perhaps that the ambulance identifying the two people who save the jewish people but the truth is love had never took the jews out of gullah if you're already identifying two people who saved the jews in history in the beginning at the end it should be maisha and mashiach not david marshall took the jews out of gullah mashiach will take the jews out of ghalos bakar of mamash also in prophecy very close david is even a question if he's a propheter or there's different contradictions discussed in the footnotes in allah we're going to further dissect the rambam he discusses hamashiach doesn't have to make miracles and he brings the proof from rabbi akiva and ben kosiva and then he finishes and he says the main thing to know is that the laws of torah are eternal who said not where does that come in here he said already in the beginning of rambam the beginning of the whole round milk as i said he discusses that the laws of third are eternal it's a huge discussion over there how does that come in here nobody's arguing with that he says mashed doesn't have to make miracles you don't have to test his authenticity through miracles the main thing is that all the laws of trade are eternal it sounds like if you say meshiach has to make miracles you're denying the eternity of the mitzvot who's denying the attorney of the ministers what's the connection which brings us to the next question and that is by a navi the rambam said in the hillcrest you say they are telling the beginning of missionary the laws of the foundations of torah and now he also doesn't have to make miracles doesn't have to change the world doesn't have to split the sea doesn't have to turn water into blood doesn't have to resurrect the dead but he does have to authenticate himself or herself by predicting the future and seeing that it happens so he starts off by a navi like he doesn't have to change the world but he has to predict the future but moshiach does nothing he doesn't have to predict the future he doesn't have to change the world no miracles no predictions nothing regular guy sheikh is a regular guy here in the rambo and here the rambo man this whole thing about how terry is eternal nobody can change any mitzvahs what what what tackle the difference and then we come to allah the last allah if a malek stands up from base david a metal based dovet stands up this is where we're holding subside okay let's not see civ zion after all the questions in the previous halachas we go now to the next next question again in your source streets it's page 11. paulo [Music] is gets up and he's immersed in turner and he compels all the jews to follow tonight and he fights the words of god you could consider him he's successful he's for sure sheikhan is going to change the whole world but sorry there's something strange but this chapter is dedicated to mashiach and dedicated to what mushrik is going to do wouldn't it be appropriate that their album would put in those unique virtues and great qualities of machinery that he himself described back in the ghost he said that his mashiach is going to be wiser than shlaima who is the wisest person he's going to be a prophet close to the level of the prophecy of mashirabeno in periket alvin not a word forget about the fact he doesn't have to make miracles he says he doesn't have to predict the future he says he's a malek he learns tighter he does mitzvahs he compels the jewish people to follow these things he fights wars he's going to if he's a real mashiach if he's not real if he's going to be the mashiach nacho only assumed to be mashiach but but but actually fulfillment he'll build wouldn't it be appropriate that here in this section dedicated to mushrik that would describe his great qualities his great virtues convert it's interesting he completely deletes it why why is that the hectic as i said last week in the summer of dedicated a few sikkis fuchsia urum to discuss this rambam and this sikha that we're learning that was published originally in 1980 two years later lakota sikhis volume 18 parishes bullock and here we're learning it in los angeles it was originally published in yiddish is a real analysis on this rambam here we begin the explanation but the explanation as always comes with another question and what's the question where did the rambam put at the end of the entire mishna tower i said mishna tower has 14 books we've discussed this in last year 14 sections the last one is called shaiftim judges in judges the last book the last section is malachim the laws of kings and hilca's malachim has 12 chapters the last two chapters are about mashiach the first ten chapters about kings all the laws of leadership and malach why did the rambam choose malachim to be placed at the end the grand inning the final there's three mitzvahs that the jewish people were given when they went entire to israel to appoint the king to cut off a malick to cut down on malik and to build the base of magnesh so this is a mitzvah that came right when they went in here to straw so why is this malach from the laws of kings all the way at the end when this is one of the early mitzvahs that the jewish people have right when they go into israel so now it would seem what would you say what's the answer to this well what do you think the answer so there advaz he says in 39 there are adva's in his introduction to say for shayfton says because it's the of mashiach it's about the future it's not about the past makes sense right the laws of kings and the end of it is about what happens when the gula comes we'll have a king and everything else the ramen describes so that's why it belongs at the end of the safe and first he speaks about things that are relevant throughout history and then he speaks about the end the end of the days but one second there's two problems first of all if you study hilda's malachim you'll see that there's various there that are not applicable to mashiach they're only applicable to the past for example he speaks about another who appoints a malek not from based of it just like iran benevole was nominated was nominated not from base david he was from shiva to frame that belongs to the past and the ram discusses but there's a bigger question take a look at the books of the rambam and then after that you have tyra and ezekiel king and we many things that are very applicable today all the lockers of nazekan and kenyan acquisitions and civil damages and laws various civil laws that's all later avoided bonus who's bringing karbanas today who has the basal miters today that's also it used to be it's not here anymore the rambam's days it wasn't existing rama lived in the 12th century eleven hundreds so hilcus moloch he puts all the way at the end but one second the same mitzvah when they came in texas oh there's a mitzvah to appoint them to build the base the base goes before and then goes all the way at the end why what's the logic here should have been also earlier he says in 39 when it comes to carbonus you could say that the rambam holds and hulk is based says that you could bring her bonus even with arabes amiknach if you build the mizbeach and you know the place you could bring carbonas that's why there's a whole big discussion over various generations about bringing a carbon pace today even before the basement because you don't need to pay somebody do you don't need mushrik if you know the plea build them is bayak and you have a cayenne you can bring the carbon i juice atom and throughout jewish history there were various considerations that never materialized but there were various considerations to bring a carbon basically if they could get permission from those who were in charge on the temple mount on the harabayas based on the view of the rambam that you could bring all the carbons without a basal magnesium carbonate is not about mashiach but one second the rambam earlier also brought the locals of building the basamignas not just carbonis basa because it's all about basically ram clearly holds he says here in mashiach is going to build the base on mechatronics so that should have been at the end of the safe rayat but he does not do he does not he does not do that he puts those earlier say from him at the end and mashiach all the way at the end so the laboratory explains that it's possible that the reason the rambam put hilcus malachim all the way at the end of the safer is not stam he put it at the end really it belongs much earlier you would think he wants to make a very powerful point via schleimer says is that to get to the end and the completion the culmination of mishnah which is basically the book that articulates all halacha to get to the end of it which means to get to the ex to the culmination of it to get it done to get all the way to the peak to the perfection of it you need a mellow you need a king as robin writes in his moloch in the earlier chapters here he explained that the role of the king is in order to make sure that the jewish people are liberated and emancipated from all those things in their environment or in the world that want to destroy them and not annihilate them khalil and destroy their ability to perform terror ambitions to bring justice to the world and to create an environment where the mitzvahs of the toyota can be fulfilled that's why he fights the wars to remove all the decrees and all the evil or harassment or abuse or genocidal plans of enemies of the jewish people therefore has to destroy amalek the melakos has a mitzvah to build the basal migration and then you could fulfill all the mitzvahs of toyota without the king to be able to achieve these things there's many mitzvahs you can't fulfill if the jewish people are being perturbed they're being bothered harassed by amalek or other enemies they can't live they can't exist if they don't have a basement they can't do many of the carbonate if they're not in their own land they can't do many of the mitzvahs but who is the first one to achieve this a leader to be able to bring the jewish people to a state where all of the six hundred and thirty mitzvahs of the data can be fulfilled there was david first of all malacha called yesterday he ruled over the entire jewish nation israel and yehuda there was a unified he unified the tribes together so that all the jewish people could be involved number two who covers heretics israel he conquered the hilarity israel got married he defeated he waged war and he defeated all the enemies of the jewish people that would kill them and harass them and instigate against them and persecute them and abuse them and murder them and just create the situation that it's impossible for the jewish people to live peacefully tranquilly in heritage israel and do their fulfill and live as jews furthermore he's the one who prepared everything for the base of meters even though hashem told him you're not going to build it your son is going to build it but all the preparations till that point came from him as the tanakh explains and he brings in 45 the smug right of it the time for the building of the vessel arrived during the time of david um so david was the one who allowed for the first time the fulfillment of mitzvos in the most perfected fashion at least the process was began began through david you have a baby she could do all the avoidance connected to the mesa the all the jews are nations throughout you could do all the mitzvos connected territorial the jews have peace and tranquility so they can live their lives as jews and fulfill all of the mitzvahs they need to do so once you come to the end of the yacht which means that the perfection of toyota the end of the other hazak the sum total the culmination how do we reach the apex the ability to fulfill the whole mishna we come to the grant right now through the melaka the end is mashiach not just because meshech is going to be a king but because this is actually what mashiach means from is explaining not just the theme of mashiach's coming that mashiach is going to come and even the obligation to believe in him he's saying something much deeper he's telling us what is mashiach what is the definition of mashiach what is guru what is his main accomplishment how is he going to be revealed and therefore to also understand what are we believing in what exactly am i believing in and here the rambam gives us the definition of allah [Music] spot the key which now will have everything fall into place muhammad's like a puzzle how does the rambam start off let's learn his words look at his words carefully how does he start it off the rambam says is going to come and he's going to restore the kingdom of david to its ancient sovereignty he's going to build the mikdash he's going to gather the jews back there at israel and all the laws of the days of you are going to come back like everything that says in the title we naturally and then he says and if you don't believe in it if you don't believe in him and you don't wait for him you're not only denying the navy denying the torah so usually when you learn the rambam the way you understand it is he's just telling you what's going to happen this is part of jewish faith meshech is going to come alongside mushrik's going to do a lot of stuff if you read ghazal and then there's going to be a lot of things that are going to happen the rambam chooses a few things why why does he exclude everything else is not here telling a story about what we believe mashiach is going to come he's describing something far more precise and that is what is the definition of mashiach and this is a safer this is a safer of law what is the definition of do a lot of things but what is his definition what is it that mashiach is going to achieve in an accomplished as part of what jewish law dictates that this is part of the halachus of today that this is what's going to happen and this is what you need to believe in so this is what the rambam is describing and what is what does he say he says i want you to understand what mashiach is that the real definition of mashiach is that to put it in simple words is that the vision of the reboiner shalilam for this world is going to be realized in other words hashem gave the jewish people a torah this toyota is to be fulfilled in the world mashiach is going to be the person who's going to realize that dream that vision of hashem that terra mitzvas should become the blueprint for life that's why he says mashiach is going to restore malchus david back to its original glory what's the point here the point here is davana malik was the king who allowed tehran mitzvahs to be fulfilled fully mashiach is going to bring that state back it's going to express itself in the building of the bay samitis and gathering the jews but not just to make some nice beautiful drama no because the building of the bay samiktashan bringing back the jewish territorial is what allows all that to be able to be fulfilled if you have a bassamitra you can do carbanas mizbeach everything you need for karbalas if you have a if the jews and i tell you you could do schmitta you could do your evil all the mitzvahs could be fulfilled he's not just telling the story of what's going to happen he's telling this is the the terrorist says that there's going to be such a time jewish law dictates that there's going to be such a mathias he's going to come and bring back to the state to bring back the world to the state where everything of toyota and mitzvos can be fulfilled fully which could not happen when the jews were in exile which could not happen when there was nobe does still needs explanation we're going to explain more [Music] alzheimer's is how do we know this because the tata promises hashem is going to bring back all the jewish people back there at israel which means that you can do all of the and mitzvahs which you could not do when there's galas because as long as jews are not inaudible even if some jews are living in israel most of the mitzvahs could not be fulfilled the 630 meters most of them cannot be fulfilled outside of israel when the jews are in galas so therefore hashem is promising you you're going to come back to the country where you will finally be able to realize your mandate as my people as god's people to be able to fulfill the vision of hashem for this world when he gave toyota tarasina and then he continues that's not yet enough after pasha's bilaam that's step one i'll tell you the promise are going to be a time when we're going to come back so we'll be able to fulfill our full mission as jews and fulfill the toyota completely now the rambam says there's also parties below and over there we have a prophecy about too much david and mashirch what does this teach the what does this prove according to the rambam this proves that what is going to happen through mashiach what is the theme of what is the mission statement of meshiach one thing to bring back and complete what his ancestor david began that's he starts to bring back what david began and do it in an even more complete way as we'll soon see and that's why the rabbit has to go through all these for summer weimar what he wants to show is the perfect parallel because this is the defines he's not trying to explain that's not his role he's giving you that definition of what it is is restoring what david began bringing it all back in a more even more perfected fashion mashiach because mashiach will be able to accomplish all this crushing uprooting all the benefits changing the world transforming the world instead of there being anti-semitism and persecution and bloodshed and violence and aggression and terror and war what will it allow it'll allow the jewish people to live in there to struggle and fulfill toyota mitzvos in the ultimate fashion to be involved in terror and wisdom and not only that as we'll see later also fix the whole world so at last the blueprint of terror mitzvahs hashem's plan for the world for the jewish people and for the world there's two details here we'll see will be fulfilled in its ultimate fashion so a replica the realization of bringing back david and that's where the trainer the way the trainer defines meshia comparison because that's the definition of meshiach the definition of mashiach is that turina and mitzvahs will be able to be fulfilled fully that's why the ram bambi right away says if you don't believe in mashiach you're not just denying all the prophets you're also denying terrorism why is that so relevant here and hiluka's true the rambam has a whole chapter and he discusses the various love what our key for it is what an epicadus is what a min is if you don't believe in this you go into this category you don't believe in this you're going to that's this category usually you don't have in sephira yeah that should say if you don't believe that you're not going to work on shabbos that god doesn't want you to work on trampolines you're not only denying the navy but also talk about that he discusses the penalties here he gets into this interesting description by the way i'm telling you what the titus says and if you don't believe in it you're not just not believing the naveem you're not believing it's an important point and discusses the gathering of a kaifer what does it mean you deny the person who says there's no god says there's a god but there's no toyota prisoners this terrible islamic person says it says but not everything of torah he goes through the different categories you can discuss over there somebody who says macheke is not going to come in fact he discusses there's somebody who is amazing why does the rambam say it here why is it so important so in 30 57 for fitness 27 he gives one explanation the literal explanation that the rambam is giving a halacha about how you have to believe in mashiach because there's a difference between the moon and the prophets and the moon and terror because all the jewish people saw mushrooms as he explains but inside the sikh the rabbit suggests something even deeper and that is trying to say something was trying to say that the concept of mashiach is not something that was revealed through the prophets the concept of mashiach is if you don't believe in it's not you not believing what god revealed through the prophets it's not even not you're not believing what mushroom said is going to happen it's something much deeper the indian of mashiach is the indian of china if you believe in china in moshe you believe in mashiach why because what is mashiach is the belief that god's plan by with giving torah is a real plan that's actually going to be implemented it's not just theory until mashiach comes there's a whole toyota of how the world is supposed to look that's the whole town variations borrow the quebec vessels and now here is the job of the jewish people to turn the world into azerbaijan would often say the world is available in hell it's concealed the job of the jew is nemena velt un es farvandon turn it into a universe that reflects and mirrors and embodies the blueprint of tyra hashem built the world based on toyota it says in madras he used the toyota as a blueprint to build the world but you look at the world you don't see it as a reflection of the blueprint a lot of the world is in defiance of the way the titus says the world should look so hashem creates a world and then he gives the jewish people the mandate to turn this world into a world of tada which means that every individual jew in his way and non-jew in his way every nation jewish nation and their ways are the nations in their ways every country every tribe every culture every race every ethnic group every part of civilization should become attainable a world in which the vision the justice the morality the ethics the holiness the goodness the kindness the godliness of terror amidst this is realized mashiach means that that's real it's not just theory god wrote a document and said you know i would really like the world to look like this let me do what you can so jews taka put on philly jews keep shabbos the word of mashiach is that the entire vision of mahmoud sinai is actually going to happen it's not just theory and that every mitzvah that we do today is brewed is building up to that so the ramen says meshiach is not a prediction of the prophets it's essentially trina all of titus says meshech is going to come why what is meshiach mashiach is saying is not just a reward a beautiful amazing reward for tayden no the real definition of messiah says itself says that the whole vision the whole blueprint the perspective the veltang of taina will actually be real it will be realized in the real world in the most concrete way by every single jew by every single human being inherits a strong in the whole world and that's why the rambam has here an expression that's difficult to understand he finishes and he says these words that are explicit and today encompass everything that was said through the prophets and what if they don't encompass everything that says through the prophets the rabbi says these few that i brought you bill um it encompasses everything in the name and what if it doesn't the rambam is not just saying a fact that you could have everything of the naveem you could find it intimated in taylor what he's trying to say is everything that's said in a beautiful touch everything that's said in the navy it's not just you'll find a source for it in total these words are everything in the naveem in other words because everything that the naveem say it's all about tata it's all about the mosquito materials the whole indian of meshes is ultimately an indian of today that's meshiach meshech doesn't have anything outside of torah in other words telling us don't look at mashiach only as a cosmic lollipop an amazing lollipop you worked hard you did so many good things you're going to get rewarded there's going to be a much better world things are going to be nice of course there's rewards and there'll be great things the world will be a wonderful place what's the nakuda of mashiach it's all in the tidal what are his words is an indian entire so of course titus kyla it's all about the titan it's all about the fulfillment of terror this is why malachim and mashiach comes at the end of the safer why is it at the end of the safer because this is the culmination for mishna toyota yada kazakh to happen what's the safe say this is a savior that records all the allah all the laws of the abundant shalom wants for this world for the jewish people all of it in other words the perfect world the world that reflects god's plan why he created the world that world that world that mirrors its ultimate potential to link the world that is with the world that ought to be that can be this world that ought to be is it reality or it's fiction it's a nice theory mashiach says it's reality in other words my madhara sinai was real god said this is the turtle here the tiago mitzvah is for this world it's a real thing what is a real never happened part of it happened most of it happened david began but it didn't last mashiach says it's happening it's going to happen and therefore mashiach is not just something for the future it's an active program because every time i do a mitzvah every time i learn every time i pray every time i bring goodness into the world i am creating that world mashiach is the realization of that world in its most perfect and real and authentic sense so anything in the naveem says it's all in these words in today because is the realization of that's what it is is the demonstration that is real that the vision of god for the world that ought to be will be that's the question does the world have a purpose or does the world not have a purpose do we have to do something to this world to ourselves and to the world meshiach is the answer says the whole terror is emes the fact that this toyota that is a god that creation has a purpose that mashiach is the ultimate purpose of it is going to be a day the division of toyota is going to be conspicuously realized and implemented and manifested embodied in every nuke and crowning every person every nuance every creature in the world see if you based it up it says now you understand the next halal that i'm gonna put in a separate because this proves something even deeper what does arya mikha tell you not just the mashiach is going to come and what mashiach is going to accomplish he's going to restore malcolm's base david to its glory bring jews back to strong so we could do all the mitzvos we see by arimiklet that there's actually going to be a mitzvah that's not applicable to mashiach god says when i broaden your border i'm giving you a mitzvah to add three more cities and the ramadan says god doesn't give a mitzvah in vain this means the torah is telling us that there's still going to come a time of mashiach when there'll be a mitzvah in order not just to fulfill the bitsmith to have the mitzvah you need meshiach because you need the larger borders so this brings out in a whole new way the deep connection between mashiach and terra it's not just the whole third we have now we have all the commandments where mashiach comes finally we'll be able to fulfill the vision of the reminder shall islam in arie mikula the rabbi adds a whole new detail and that is for the mitzvah you read comes not only you're missing in the realization in the kill materials when you have these borders then you should do this in this we don't have it so the whole mitzvah doesn't apply so we need not just to fulfill the mitzvah to bring the carbon to do shmita to do your evil according to the ramen you need for schmidt to all the most jews living in their churches he's certainly evil we're going to bring the carpenter will be able to do every single one of the 630 metres god's vision for what claudius role should look like for what every jew should look like for whatever israel should look like for what the whole planet should look like will be fulfilled now i can do so many things we can't do so many things because of a harder because of inside in inner obstacles traumas on the inside traumas on the outside persecution exile dispersion furthermore the realization of the mitzvah itself will happen through mashiach that's what you see only by a mikula the mitzvah of carbon pacer in the midst of carbon damage is here today just don't have a visa the mitzvah of the evil is here today we don't have all the jews and iron out to syria the mitzvah of christ is irish here today we just don't know who our molecules and you have to have the resources the mitzvah of building a base are making theirs we can build the base today you need to build them you need the gilly of mashiach is going to build a basement there's not you and i but here we see something more the mitzvah itself needs mashiach comes when the jewish people will their borders will completely expand you don't have this mitzvah and the ram says it never happened according to this we have now very powerful explanation allah had come up with a whole miracle issue this really i think captures it in the most acute way let's see good gimbal okay i'm going to read you giblin then i'll explain i'll [Music] good the whole the whole continuation of the rambam becomes crystal clear after halacha one he describes what mashiach is from a halachic perspective not different things that are going to happen that hashem is going to make happen mushrik is going to introduce amazing beautiful stupendous spectacular feats but what is the mashiach what do we believe in what is it that tyrus says is going to happen in other words from a halachic perspective from a jewish law perspective this is what hashem wants as part of the halakhas of toyota what we need to believe in what is it what are we waiting for and he goes through the sukhumva parishes billam our immigrant all to bring out that the definition of mashiach is what the realization that god is real that yi is real the realization that yiddish is real if that's the case of course he doesn't have to do miracles he doesn't have to do it that's not his thing nor could that authenticate him nor should that prove that he's the real thing and the rambam continues rebecca didn't want ben kai for a miracle from mcafee because mashem doesn't need that and then he continues and the main thing is that the toyota's laws don't change and we said what's the connection now we understand the definition of mashiach is the realization that yiddish is real that it's going to be realized in the world through mashiach is going to introduce in the world a new consciousness which is an old consciousness that yiddish kite is real that trade is real that mitzvahs are real mahmud is real god is real if you want to put it in different words the rambam starts off as whole safer maya mitas that the whole world comes from his truth in other words the world is a reflection of god's truth that that truth will be realized that yiddish is real that hashem is real that is that is mashiach is going to bring that consciousness into the world that god is real but melania described is real to say now that mashiach should do miracles what's the connection to the contrary it undermines the whole point of visiting the point of because is real and it's timeless and it's eternal if meshiach has to change the nature of the world and say oh let's make c split it's undoing his very purpose it's very resandy his very days and the yeti is that this is god's world my mother seen i came to tell the jewish people this is my world and today mitzvahs is the blueprint in order to transform the world into the world i desire i yearn i want a world that reflects the oneness of hashem a world that reflects a nightmare a world that reflects the truth of existence in now you say meshiach has to come and make miracles why should he make miracles to change the order of the world you're defeating the whole purpose the whole purpose is to show that either sky is real that mitzvahs god says will never change the way they are i gave them to you there for real they and you could implement them and you could live by them in the real world not in a new world you want to make a new world make new worlds the whole point of machias is to realize that this world in its natural order can reflect the truth of god which was the purpose of creation we live in a world of nature as iran continues in chapter 12 that meshiach is not here to change nature even if there's going to be changes in nature that's not the point the logic point of mashiach is what to show that nature itself is divine that nature itself the world by itself people in their natural habitat in them in their own identity can become the embodiment and the reflection of god's vision for them so why would you authenticate mashiach through making a miracle when that's completely nothing to do with his mission or his calling or his vocation or his destiny you want to test out the power of a surgeon let's do a surgery and an athlete you want him to run the marathon let him run and test him or another way that he's going to prove his athletic prowess and a scientist your veracity if you want to authenticate a theory you got to test it you want to authenticate a navi you have to tell what does a navi do and now he predicts the future let him predict the future let's see if he knows what he's talking about if he knows what he's talking about we know he's a navy if not he's not enough he's a liar fine what is mashiach predict the future what is it is restoring the world to its original plan restoring the jewish people to their original glory bringing out the toyota mitzvos is the world could be implemented that's his mission statement so do that that's it we ask of you you know i don't care if you don't split a sea i don't care if you don't turn water into blood i don't care if you don't resurrect the dead god never told the jewish people that i've seen it after resurrected death and they never told them have to turn water into blood he never told me they have to walk through the water he did tell them that they have to change the world to become a tighter belt he gave them to that mitzvah's that he told them that's your job introduce that consciousness into the world that godliness is real that yiddish god is real it's the truth of the world and that's how the world ought to be because that who that is who we are that is what the world is that's how we test you so what does he say in the next with avov how do we test mashik if he does this if he's david he's learning he's learning training he's involved in mitzvahs terrorism excellent it's not enough he does it himself he changes the jewish world the yakov call yesterday so that the jews can live up to their potential not be dealing with anti-semitism and persecution and genocide khalillah this is this is it i don't mean you miracles it's not your mission statement god never asked us to split seas he doesn't want that the world should become a world that reflects hashem that tater should become the guiding principle that dictates every element of civilization and of humanity of countries and of individuals and of homes and of marriages beginning with the jewish people in eretz israel in the day-to-day life prescribed in the teriyak mitzvos of taylor so do that miracles if you want to do a miracle fine the rambam is saying here that mashiach is a prophet would undermine the whole panic i thought the mashiach is going to be a navi mashay's going to be smarter than slimy he's going to be close to my oh it's true that when the rambam has to say it he says it here he's talking about the halal of the definition of and if he's not a navy it's not nigeya for cait if you bring down the mashiach as a prophet and he's the most brilliant person in the world it's all true he's going to be brilliant and he's a prophet and all that the real definition of mashiach is that he's going to bring out that today's ms that yiddish kite is that god is real doesn't say anywhere until you have to be a prophet doesn't say you have to be as brilliant as slimer it's nice i don't know maybe it's hard probably hard to be as brilliant as schlemmer smarter that's not the definition of meshia he's a navi he's going to make miracles of the year the next that's what the ramen doesn't say he's a navi you're going to confuse me he does say those qualities that make him a real jew a real jew who's going to realize that ms yiddish guy does ms that's his indian full of tata mitzvahs this is his mathias ella cause taylor mitzvahs like david and he's not sitting in his own room the fact that he's attached to taylor's mother dick but that's not the world of melancholy change the world and that you have to also fight wars however he's going to fight those wars to make sure that the world can be restored to a place of peace and tranquility and holiness and goodness and kindness so the jews can do what they do and everybody can else do what they have to do if he does this he's because we don't know yet that he's successful and if he's successful then he's mushrik who i think that album says here if you don't believe in him but you don't wait anticipate his coming you're denying toyota why if you don't just let's say i believe in him i don't wait for him why am i quite fit and tired kevalda kakasha i believe he's coming but i don't wait for him you may you may have a guest coming to your house tomorrow you know he's coming you believe him a few minutes the guest is coming you believe him he sent the telegram he sent today it's a message you have to await his coming says if you don't believe in him or you don't await him you're a coinfiber why i think it's clear now i think maybe it's clear what what are you believing in you're believing in that yiddishkeit is real that godliness is real that tate is real that every mitzvah that i do now is real it's not just i'm doing a ritualistic act and i'm going to get rewarded it's a real thing it is a real impact something is happening in me something is happening in my home something is happening in the world so of course you anticipate it of course you look forward to it looking forward to mashiach means that you believe that it's a real thing that is a real thing it's an authentic thing it means that the terror mitzvahs i'm doing now is with a sincerity it's with a passion it's with it's with it's without the feeling that it's ms lamita now we come to the last section of the sister and i'm going to say this outside from say if you dale it and this is the last stretch that ebba says if you look at the quality qualifications the criteria that rambam gives for mashiach it's very precise a king from base david who's involved in terror mitzvos like david he influences the whole jewish world to follow today mitzvahs and fixes all the breaches fights the wars of god this is all assumption now we can assume if he's successful and later he fixes the whole world he repairs the whole world this is if he's successful he builds the basement which brings the jewish people back wins the wars he's mother and he's going to fix the whole world he says every one of these criteria the rambam got from those succumb that he brought in the beginning of the payrique we spoke before why you had to bring all those sukkam to show the continuum from david mashiach it's one continuum machias is not another world sheikh is not a new world order she is not an oil but she is not a separate scar realized fulfilled implemented executed execution of beresha's borderline visa his execution of aidability is so it's one continuum the rambam also brings these succumb because each one of them represents the criteria that alaka defines for mashiach very briefly the first is about him i see him even though i don't see him right away that's the first thing talking about who he is david who he is the second is becomes israel how he influences the jewish people both david and mashiach this is step two of the yakov the third thing is hashem how he changes the world he removes hatred and violence and bloodshed creates a consciousness of peace and oneness what's this it's the next step and then there's the third level he fixes the world he repeats the world this is of eurasia this is changing the world the difference between step three and step four is step three is conquest war step four is revealing that this is what the world really wants that every single person living in the world his or her true divinity and holiness will emerge so that the consciousness of oneness is pervade everywhere that's why in the third set of sukim the word is mashleu kibush the kaikai makhat is about conquest the last one is about yerusha what's the difference between getting something through conquest and getting something through inheritance when you get something through conquest it's basically i'm not asking you it's not with your consent i conquered you i defeated you and i take it from you when you get something through inheritance it means it really belongs to you it's your tatis it's your mommies it's your families it's a yerusha i'm actually taking something that's very close to me i'm the closest one to it that's why i'm getting it it's not like a father says oh yeah i'm going to inherit all my stuff to my children that's a horrible thing they're conquering it for me that's unless it's a dysfunctional family you're not you're not conquering it from your father or mother you're inheriting that which is yours what do we call it it's my inheritance there's two ways of changing people one is to conquest domination rule sometimes you need that second world war didn't come to an end because somebody sent hitler a bouquet of roses roosevelt and churchill sent him a bouquet of roses sometimes you need conquest but the ultimate goal is yerusha yerusha means you inherit them what does it mean you inherit them it's a deep connection they're giving it to you in other words we're part of each other everybody realizes that they're all part of hashem's world lee krei kulam says that's there so all the qualifications that the raman describes a mashiach are all in those psukim that he brought in the beginning of the chapter the beginning of the chapter the end of the chapter those took him every one of the descriptions he brought four four descriptions into him i ran over who he is vis-a-vis the general world humanity and who he is relative in the world itself not just somebody who will conquer somebody who will transform the consciousness from within and in each of these stages there's a unique advantage over hamalach as he explains in all the words of the sukkam you see the clear advantage that mashiach is going to bring it to its full realization that didn't even happen by david even though the jews could do most of the mitzvahs but there was still shortcomings and over here it's going to be complete and he finishes the last paragraph that through the complete munna in mashiach and this is a halal you have to know what you're believing in i'm not just believing in that god is going to make a nice world that's true but the real the moon is that terror is ms that there's going to be a time that the traitor is going to be realized that's what i'm believing in that everything i'm involved in now is real it's true through the real la muna in toda and which includes of course the learning of this itself he says hastens the coming of mashiach because speedily in our days thank you
