From the River to the Sea, Israel will be FREE!!! with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom everybody Welcome Home to Torah a warm welcome back to the m we are actually still guests at era but that's where we are and I want to just let everyone know those who are watching for the first time this is for serious Bible Learners right people who want to know what the scripture actually says in the original Hebrew how to learn we want to teach you how to learn uh we also want you to learn Hebrews so we do encourage you to look uh on down below in the description box there is a link where you can find the original Hebrew sheets which we will be using I'll be translating it um we use the kakar as the basis for our discussion and um what I really hope is that you do learn Hebrew and you can always go back to other classes if you're interested in what other verses say because we really deal with like one particular verse one idea and we expand and we use other verses throughout the Tanakh and it's a great way for you to number one learn Hebrew um but really it's to understand the fundamentals the actual fundamentals that were given over at Mount Si to the Jewish people why we believe what we believe so we're going to start this is par we're going to read in Genesis chapter 15 vers 7 and 8 the key verse is really verse eight um you can't escape we have to deal with seven anyway so we'll later on but we'll we'll bring it up now so this is Abraham after he is um he's already in the land of Israel and we're dealing with a covenant a covenant we will describe as between the pieces Brit Bim and in chapter 15:7 he Hashem said to Abraham he said to him I am I'm the one who brought you I brought you out of a place called and why in order to give you the land now the next two words are very important well in English it's two words um to inherit it inherit it okay now that's going to be very important in verse eight and God said to him I'm sorry and Abraham says back now this is a problem because we deal with it he says to God oh God lord How will I know that I will inherit it now if God said it who are you right to question God or is he not questioning God is he just asking for a sign so that he knows and he's assured that he will inherit it now the question is will it be through his seed and if it's through his seed why doesn't he ask we'll see why doesn't he ask send me a sign I'm going to have children okay the question will we will see in a second let's just become F familiar with the two verses the first thing God is telling him is I'm going to give you the land as an inheritance but then abrah says back How will I know that I will inherit it okay so the CLE car right away let's go to the the uh pages I sent out it's uh chapter 15 verse how do I know how will I know send me a sign give me a promise and God does he makes a covenant but we'll see Kaz tell us it's actually in naring 32A and I think this is very appropo especially because of how should I say it the controversy there is a controversy in Israel should the Yeshiva students be drafted okay should the Yeshiva students be drafted should the K students be drafted uh could be one of the main reasons why Galant was fired I'm not saying it could be um just coincidentally right the day after he put out 7,000 draft notices he lost his job okay so it's a hot potato in the government what does it say in narim rebi abbahu said that re elzar said for what reason was Abraham our patriarch punished and his children enslaved to Egypt for 200 110 years okay so this is a question that was posed in the gamar in the tud in ADM 32A you're not going to like the answer but in Genesis 144 it says he led forth his trained men born in his house the gorah says because he made a draft of Torah Scholars as we just stated in this verse he led forth his trained men born in his house to war he he he recruited them for the war um the gorah says these trained trained men that he took to war were actually his disciples who were Torah Scholars now we discussed this earlier in the week that it says that um you know Abraham and Sarah they made Souls they made souls in Karan so the Rashi explains there that these were people non-jews of course nobody was Jewish at the time but AB made them righteous he trained them he taught them Torah they were Torah Scholars that just be discussed last week how Noah himself was a Torah scholar so I think this should arouse a question from those who are Ben Noah where does it come off where is this idea that a gentile should not Lear learn Torah otherwise there are some very negative consequences I think that we have to conclude that that statement is not true in fact the statement in Hebrew is a akum an idol worshipper is if he's but what about that that means wor that has negative consequences but what about a non-jew who's interested or just deciding not yet not haven't yet decided but wants to decide a final decision whether to convert to Judaism or not I meet so many of these people obviously once you have decided to so then you're not in that category and you're in the process and you need to learn what it is to be a Jew so before we get to that the idea is that in general there are a lot of laws that even a Ben who wants to remain a Ben wants to remain a gentile can learn a lot of a lot of Torah uh we discussed this already um one of the laws one of the seven principles is to set up Court um uh ba based in um and laws to follow so Mish which is 1/4 of the laws of the sh are dedicated to civil laws and and Beyond and there's no reason why a Ben can't learn that part of Judaism and the rambam says that any Gentile who wants to keep additional Mitzvah that they're not obligated in can do those Mitzvah as long as they do them correctly so the idea is like this first they have to be o s in their own Torah right there has so much to learn just within the seven noahide laws and they're not even not they're not seven laws they're seven principles so keeping kosher is something that if they want to do it's only optional keeping Shabbat I say keeping I should say celebrating Shabbat not keeping Shabbat but celebrating Shabbat they can also learn especially if they live in a Jewish community so they can help Jews if they're ever in need need of assistance on Shabbat what can be done and what cannot be done and what they can be told to do what they can't be told to do really there there's a lot that Gentiles that Ben no can learn but a an akum an idol worshipper should not only be discouraged but be prevented from learning any Torah because all they're doing is looking for uh ways to counter uh to to fight with the Jewish people and to spread the bad news so to speak so getting back to this idea that these people that Abraham made he made these Souls these are converts into H being righteous Gentiles they were this is what the gor is saying and to bring it further that should not be drafted into the army now it could be very simply there's a difference between a obligatory war and a optional War so this was to um to recapture lo lo had been um had captured and that could be it could be maybe a mandatory war and we're not going to get into the nitty-gritty but there are times of course where to Scholars may have to fight uh but during an optional War uh they don't it could very well be that Israel ever since its um what's the word its conception in 1948 I mean the modern state of Israel it could be that we've been fighting for our existence and it could be that uh that it's a mandatory War however I have to say that even the Army themselves have said that they're not prepared they're not prepared for this Onslaught what's the word recruitment of uh all these Yeshiva guys so we're going to put that aside just know what we're dealing with here that Abraham in this Brit B barim even though there's a covenant being made over the land of Israel it's very important to know that Abraham we're going to put this in perspective now when he said how will I know that I will inherit it the gamor is claiming this is what he did that deserved the punishment but how was he punished his children were punished for 400 years if 400 years of going into Egypt and becoming slaves the the way the um the clear card is going to express the question is something here doesn't make sense Abram did a sin such as ask God for a sign when he should have had faith and not questioned and if that's true then shouldn't the punishment go on him why is it then on his on his family and his children and the gamor seems to answer that um see that what was it that he did number one that he recruited Torah Scholars and then we're going to discuss what it exactly what what was the measure for measure what the punishment was that Abraham had to experience because of this particular sin okay so let's go into the clear we didn't begin but here we go so he the Clear Car begins with verse eight How will I know like Give Me A Sign How will I know that I will inherit it and say and we just read the gor on account of the fact that abah said how do I know that I will inherit it he was punished with and we're going to go now to verse 13 Genesis 15:13 When God says to abah and he said to abah the his name is AB still whenever there's a double language of you will surely know that's how we're going to translate it no you shall know literally no you shall know um basically means you will surely know and the answer is your seed will be strangers in a land that is not theirs and they will enslave them and oppress them for 400 years so immediately after abah asked the question how will I know that I will inherit it few verses later God is now telling him now I always used the word promise this was a covenant and it's related to the land god AB wants to know how will I know that I'm going to inherit the land and my children will inherit as well and so this is part of the promise first they have to go into slavery they're going to go into a land that's not theirs and for what purpose and let me explain this is not what the CLE car says but basically a concept that we became Royal slaves remember that ysep in his genius uh during the um the days of famine right there were seven good years and then there was supposed to be seven bad years it only lasted two years until Yakov came down to Egypt then it stopped but there was uh the beginning of the uh during the good years during the good years Yosef um what's the word he stored away they they used his brain right they stored away all that they could for the bad days and when the bad days arrived people ran out of food I'm talking about Egyptians of course all over the world even that's how the the Suns came down to try to find ysep because they use the excuse they can then buy food there but going back to this idea going back to this idea that it was really a promise this is how I usually explain it but we have to understand there obviously ly was a punishment and that's what we're going to discuss but the promise that this land will be yours and so you went from being slaves let me explain when yoseph started to distribute during the first two years the food and people had run out of food he then used eminent domain so to speak he he basically said listen you don't have food give me your property if you give me your property we'll take care of you so basically almost all of each eypt they became right the Egyptians themselves became slaves to Pharaoh they became slaves to Pharaoh so then when we became slaves who were we we were slaves in the individual houses but they didn't own us we were Royal slaves of pharaoh okay so in other words the the regular Egyptian dude family whatever you want to call them right persons they were um mishad they they had like basic leans on their property and so when we came down to Egypt and we eventually became slaves we weren't slaves of the individual people as a concept says that an owner and a slave the slave finds something or acquires something it's really the owner that acquires it so even though we were working as slaves in individual homes we were Royal slaves so it could be the foundation for us to become Royal slaves to God we first had to understand what it meant to be a royal slave okay that's one idea was that we actually had to be cleansed we like they they they use the word The Crucible an iron Crucible in Egypt um so to go through the pain and the suffering was a cleansing process in order for us to come out purified when we finally left Egypt okay so that Rashi is very interesting on that verse 13 should know when it says 400 years what is what is 400 years how was it it's 400 years from the birth of Isaac Isaac was born by the way um Isaac was 40 years old when he married okay we're going to try to figure out how there was 400 years 400 years from the birth of Isaac and Isaac was a nomad and Yakov also was a sojer and and abah was a sojer so they didn't really have a settlement in the land they were like gim so from the time Isaac was born so Isaac was 40 years old when he finally married um and in chapter 25 verse 26 that right yeah um it literally says that yov and ASA were born when Isaac was um 60 so okay so now we have a timeline he was 60 fine and when when yakob went down to Egypt he Pharaoh asked him how old he was he said he was 130 years old so 60 when he was born Yakov um I'm sorry when Isaac gave birth to Yakov Isaac was 60 plus the 130 years so that's 190 years when Yakov went down to Egypt and they were in Egypt for 210 years and the numerical value of ru when it says that he went down to Egypt um in chapter 42 verse two of Genesis the word Ru the gamat is 210 so 210 plus 190 that's 400 years okay it's 400 years okay and that's how we get to 400 years let's go back into the clear the point here is that Abraham said how will I know and he was punished you will surely know that was the answer God gave him you want to know you're really going to know and the 400 years was the punishment so the question is the clear says it's hard to comprehend it's almost impossible it's very difficult basically means the SE rejects okay the intellect rejects this to accept this as an answer because of the next question that the children are caused to suffer such a great punishment on account of the sign that Abraham asks doesn't make sense the ABM on that AB himself is not going to receive a punishment the sh bonen and that the the children's um teeth are going to like um be set on edge it doesn't make sense the cleart says really okay so we don't see that much of a punishment for abam but we see a great amount of punishment 400 years that your um your progyny is going to be in a land that is not theirs and they're going to be enslaved and inflicted therefore the clear is saying my heart speaks my heart says and you can actually learn the the real reason for the Exile of Egypt has to be for other reasons it doesn't make sense he says and there's actually an argument amongst the rabbis why were we I'm going to use word punished or promised to be in a land that's not ours such as Egypt for 400 years for a long time and he says you can find that the ab barel brings down so many different opinions he's known for that but thear says even though he compiled them the compiled them that there's not enough paper to write basically all these ideas literally means the curtain is not long enough to record all the different opinions however what was difficult for the this author of this medish was basically that basically whatever the reason is it's almost irrelevant the real question that bothers this is going to be the question why did Hashem tell over to Abraham that his children are going to be slaves for 400 years right why did Hashem tell this over why did he relate this bad news um what just to cause Abraham pain is that what it was so just to sum that question up it seems like what's bothering the clear explaining the the medish itself that it seems like the question stands like this why would Hashem relate this bad news to Abraham If Abraham himself is not being punished but his children are why does God relate this bad news is it just to cause um needless pain is that the punishment and so the clear says yet regarding this the very sin the sin was that he asked send me a sign How will I know so he he was requesting information of something that he did not need to know not required to know God said I give this as inheritance this is the land of Israel the whole world is fighting about it everybody wants it and this is going to be a key it's going to be key because we have to understand why Abraham actually asked the question to start with but right now we're asking why was but why was his children punished and he wasn't really punished so it says why would he ask a sign when God said this is it this is it you got no worries right trust me therefore he was punished by God saying you will surely know therefore measure for measure we're going to talk about mid when we get a punishment called measure for measure it's not for the punishment sake it's so that you learn and you you fix yourself how do you know what you did wrong because God sends you a personalized customized message you will figure it out this is for people who are on a high level right people who are of the prophetic variety right if you're using your intelligence you're using your mind you're using your connection with God you'll be able to figure it out because the punishment I'm using parentheses the so-called punishment matches the crime and then you're able to figure out what it was you did wrong you're like a god send you sending you a personal message wake up see what you did wrong and you could figure out how to fix it because you can only figure out how to fix it if you know what you did wrong so the punishment again it's it's a love it's a love tap it's it's God saying I love you I want you to fix yourself so I'm sending you a personalized customized message and so therefore he asked I want to know and God said you will surely know he shouldn't have asked um so kesu actually did inform him of something that would cause him pain in order for him to figure out that this is what he did wrong and that's the summary of the first paragraph and now we're going to get into the idea of the sign itself why was Abraham interested to know uh what motivated him not necessarily we understand that he was punished but the punishment was not so severe the punishment As We Know was just the knowing that he shouldn't have asked and that he should have trusted AEM so be regarding this very idea of the sign that Abraham had asked there are many that wonder about this why did this okay so we're getting to the root of the Crux of the question why was it so important for Abraham to know by God sending him a sign that this was an inheritance this land right as I think we all say nowadays from The River To The Sea Israel will be free is that is that what I've been hearing something like that yeah so basically why did he ask regarding the sign um regarding relating to the inheritance of the land V why didn't he ask about a sign regarding a promise for seed I mean he was an older gentleman 75 and he didn't have any children so what's going on so the clear says you know what I'm GNA ask an additional question he says look in chapter 12: 7 so it's number five on the sore sheet and the Lord appeared to abam and he said to your seed I will give this land now what's the word attain I will give it sounds like it's a Matana Matana means a gift and if you go back to Source number four but it's not in order because that's Genesis 12 see in Genesis 15 in our ver in our chapter he says I'm going who's going to inherit inherit okay but the one who will spring from your innards he will inherit you right so it's not elezar of damasque but it's it's Isaac y he's going to inherit sorry um yish it's not yish but it's okay it's the one who is going going to come from your seed and in earlier on in chapter 12 he's promises to your seed I will give this land so as we will see there's a difference between a Matana which is late a gift and something that's called an inheritance a yusa keep that in mind those two words so the cleart continues and he says after he quotes the verse it's the third line down in that paragraph to your seed I will grant gift this land well guess what according to the clear even this question there are going to be many opinions an so the clear is telling you his own opinion says that the very idea of the sign uh which he asked Abraham was not in really any doubt as to the promise so we're judging Abraham more favorably here Abraham was not in doubt about the promise so what was the issue he really wanted that God basically make a contract that would be unbreakable okay when you give a gift okay it's a gift you know people they're not going to say too much but if if it's a yusha Once you say it's a yusha it's an inheritance it's forever it's never going to be broken abah was afraid there are going to be people that going to come and say I want a part of it and what kind of people well we'll see people who might have a claim on it the Canaanites do not have a real claim we call erit Canan why do we call ER Kanan so try to imagine Noah had three sons right and the world was distributed to the three sons shame he acquired all of Asia yafet he acquired Europa Europe andam third son he acquired Africa the king canites Canan is a son ofam so they they extended Out of Africa and they came and I don't know what you want to say they appropriated the land here because it's then called ER Kanan because they were here but they that's not this part of Asia ER Israel is part of Asia so Abraham was concerned more about shame the children of Shem that they might have a claim because it's part of Asia well let's see the uh the clear says that abam wanted to Brit he wanted to uh seal a covenant to enter a covenant with God to remove upon the land any claim or protest over us being here because God made a a promise that your seed will inherit it and that it is an inheritance once you have an inheritance that's why you have what do they call that a will you know and it has to be um verified right is it really the person's signature was he when he signed it was he under what do he call it a healthy mind and body with no pressure right so there's a contract and that's what Abraham wanted a contract so there will not be any of anyone who was would try to make a rightful claim you know not a rightful claim they think they have a rightful claim but a claim see pre prior back in chapter 12:7 theala as we just read in 12 ver7 God said to your seed I will give this land Attain what's aain it's Mas aain noain a Matana is a gift that it was just a gift that's what people might say for that you know there's no point in entering Covenant it's just just a gift who who's con conc ered about any type of protest or claim on a gift that God gave as it says in Psalms 50:12 for the world belongs to Hashem and all of its fullness so there's no he can give it to whoever he wants it's within God's power and ability to give to whomever he wants by the way just to think about the first Rashi in all of the Torah rabit Rashi says ritak would say um why does the Torah begin with the whole story of Bret leading up to uh the creation of the Jewish people and so he he does answer a lengthly answer but one of the ideas is that it's in order to teach the world that God created the world and he decides who gets what land this very important because Wars have been fought over land and in the ancient days of course many of the what's the word the city the capital cities of these lands were named after their gods as if their God is the one who is ruling over the land I'm not going to get into this whole idea of whether it's idol worship or a recognition of some kind of um intermediary but the idea that everyone can recognize is that whoever won the war and took over land it's a proof that their God is stronger right that's the way the world worked at the time and and therefore that's what it means in Psalms 50:12 for the world and its fullness are mine belongs to AEM and so going back to the the Rashi over there the first Rashi in brait that he actually says it's like Mish prophetic but it's not him he's quoting from even earlier sources that why is it so necess necessary to show you the creation of the world it could have just started from the first Hala that was ever given to the Jewish people of the Corbin pesak before we left Egypt this is the first month to you and then 14 days later 10 days later then 14 days later all that why is it necessary to start with Genesis to show you that God is the creator of the world he's the one who decides who where and what so everyone knows that even deep inside even if you're an idol worshipper you all know that the power of of God is the one that determines the outcome of the wars but afterwards KES said to him in chapter 15 verse 7 which is our verse so originally it was a gift in chapter 12 chapter 15 it's called an inheritance masma what is this infer that the original gift in verse chapter 12:7 is really mentioning a tus yusha the laws of inheritance not a gift and if you think about it since Noah had divided he divided and he apportioned the world according to his sons right as I mentioned shame gets Asia yett gets Europe gets um Africa not can live no shame and the land of Canan we're calling it Canan because they the can canites were here but it's Asia has no Shas it's not related at all to or to his child Canan but that's the land that he's giving to the children of Shame that's us the Jewish people yusha and you God saying you are coming it's coming to you by the laws by the reality of inheritance so then what did abam think of you know what um shame that it could be perhaps in the future um other um children of Shame might come and make a a claim on their portion it was never a portion to Canan they had no claim on at all God gave it to them as Rashi says in the beginning not in the beginning of time but when they took it over before the Jewish people came to be and God took it away from them and gave it to us that's the way it works God is the almighty okay so it could be and who is like if you look at Asia I mean India is a pretty big country and it's pretty Central so is Iran I mean I don't don't know if Iran has any claims on this land but through Islam they certainly do right um Islam makes a claim that any place that they had under their rulership at any given time has a certain status and there has to be Jihad that's what they call it in order to free it up so there are claims by Islam anyway B shame there's a verse in chapter 10 verse 22 and look at number seven on the sore sheet just so we should know the sons of Shame where Elam as this is a hard word but this is the word we're dealing with are AR pakad our pakad as well as lud and Aram and who is right we see these are the Gen chapter that was chapter 10:22 look in Genesis 11:10 these are the generations of Shem Shem was 100 years old and he begat AR pakad two years after the flood okay so our pshot this is the verse we're dealing with and Abraham Yak so this is the one this is the lineage of Abraham he comes from arak so was concerned that maybe one day in the future that one of the other childr of Shame other Asian people are going to uh make some kind of a claim on this land on this land that was given as an inheritance AAR that's why it says in chapter 15:8 this is the first one of the first verses we said when AB says How will I know that I inherited it how do I know you know Give Me A Sign so this sign was the Covenant he wanted a covenant so there won't be any um any any protest what sign can you give me that I alone will know that I alone will know um that there won't be any protests now I want to just stop for a second because there are protests but how will I know that their protests are fake this so important um I have a beautiful picture in my living room by the artist nakon from Kon and it's part of the medis the medis says says is that the um there are three places in Eric Isel where the Gentiles will not make a claim that you are thieves and guess what these three places the medish mentions and it's beautiful in the picture are exactly the places they make the claim it's Kon right that was bought by Abraham right from the the the from the from the people in KRON and you have harab it that was bought by David from arav jusi and then you have sh the burial place of ysep which was bought by yov so very interestingly enough the very three places the medra says they will not make a claim is the very place that they make a claim so the the med is saying it it's not that they're not going to claim of course they're going to claim I want an O I want my children to know that this is ours and the answer is you're going to be 400 years in Egypt and we were 400 years in Egypt and we were enslaved okay so this is the O but the O is even greater than that listen to how the clear finishes up this ideaa so this is h four lines up from the bottom of this paragraph that God gave him the answer and that's the very following verse verse n right we had in verse um we had in verse seven where God says I'm going to give you the land to inherit it verse eight um Mo Abraham says How Will I Know will I inherit it and verse n says bring carbonos bring these offerings that's it well there's a lot of depth in these offerings in the Brit B the Covenant between the parts but the clear says this is the answer God gives him right uh verse n do I have it here yeah it's number 10 on the souret bring me three high heers and three goats and three Rams and a turtle dove and a young bird okay we're going to discuss this shortly um on the last page in English the Rashi but before we do um just finish up this paragraph So if you look in genes I'm sorry numbers chap 18 verse 19 it's number 11 on the S sheet so all of the gifts of the Holy offerings are set aside by the children of Israel and that's going to be the gifts to the Kim and the liim um and well here is the Kim and to your sons and daughters with you as an eternal portion so in Hebrew right as an eternal Covenant as an eternal statute a a covenant of salt but it says he meaning it's Eternal and it's for you and your descendants so the idea that these Cronos this was the idea that we're bring bringing coronos and portion of that goes to the coim there's a covenant of salt what does salt represent salt always represents something that well we do know brings out the best taste in things but it also is a preserver it pre preserves things um should I just read the Rashi there uh all the gifts of the Holy offerings because the passage is so cherished it's generalized the beginning generalized the end with details in the middle that's all about the whole paragraph but it's an eternal Covenant of salt Hashem enacted a covenant with Aon with an object that is wholesome and Lasting and keeps other food stuffs wholesome so it's it's preservative but a covenant of salt like a covenant made with salt that it should never spoil okay so it's preservative but it lasts forever it's a symbolic of eternality okay so too back here when God is making this Covenant with Abraham um he's telling him to bring these corbas just like the Covenant was sealed with Aon with a salt um Covenant forever and what's the point over there too there was a a a battle so to speak a uh a confrontation a revolution this group of people people wanted the Kahuna they wanted to usurp the authority of Aon and mosha of course and at the end of the day God makes a covenant with Aon nobody can make a claim on making a a covenant and a sign that you cannot um argue against you know that it's yours um and the clear continues this is exactly the same reason that God made a covenant with abah in order to remove any claim or protest obviously it doesn't mean to remove the claim from them it means to remove the claim from us that we will know I I I I I I beg every Jew out there you're religious you're not religious you're uh secular you're Lefty you're who knows what you are it doesn't matter no this land belongs to us right if you're not even from coming from a religious point of view just take a look at history you want to deny history right we don't we don't deny history we don't we don't deny the facts the facts are this is our ancient Homeland in fact this idea of splitting up animals and separating them this was an ancient custom and this is how people made covenants contracts back then and I want to go into the rash on chapter 15: 10 where Abraham divided them into two parts um one the ideas a simple meaning he was forming a covenant with him to keep his promise to cause his sons to inherit the land this is what Rashi says and it's based on Verse 18 chapter 18 verse 18 in numbers if I'm not wrong right says on that day the Lord formed a covenant with AB so this is very important on that day the Lord formed a covenant with abam saying to your seed I have given this land from the river of Egypt until the Great River the Euphrates River so the Euphrates river is all the way somewhere in Iraq that's right okay it is what it is and the river of Egypt some say it is a river that runs through the middle of Gaza some say it means it's the river that is in the middle of the Sinai Peninsula and there is an opinion that it actually goes to what they call the Suz Canal as far as the Nile um but anyway it goes all the way to the Euphrates River Brit thear narat parat is the Euphrates River so just to get an idea the rest of this Rashi on 1510 that it was the custom of those to who form a covenant to divide an animal to pass between its parts you can see in Jeremiah chapter 34:19 this was an idea um but the different animals actually represent different kingdoms so but did not divide the birds let's see the Rashi since the idol worshipping nations are liken to Bulls Rams and goats you can see in Psalms 22:13 many bulls surrounded me okay so the Jews are surrounded by the non-jews as bulls and Daniel 8 verse 20 and 21 the ram that you saw the one with horns represents the kings of midia and Persia and and then that was 20 then in 21 and the heot is the king of Greece well that's why we split them there's a downfall whereas the Israelites as it says the birds are not um divided how we the how were the Jews compared to doves so in Song of Songs chapter 2 verse4 my dove in the Cliffs of the rock it's talking about the Israelites and the the the Rashi says therefore he divided the animals that's an illusion to the Nations that will gradually perish but he did not divide the bird as the verse says and this is an illusion that Israel who is compared to the dove will exist forever um we just finished suus and as you know that the 70 Bulls which represent the nations are diminished so like we understand on sukus like I said the Bulls represent the Nations and we start with a lot and we go down to seven we start out with 13 and each day is diminished one of them uh like on Hanukah right there's a whole dispute how do we like that we're coming up to Hanah do we light going up in the Ascension order because each day is we go up in Holiness or according to shami we go down we don't Pas him like that but he would hold that you light eight lights on the first night and then you go down to S then then to 6 till the last night you light one and he relates it back to sukus that's how he holds okay we don't do that on on Hanukkah but on on sukus we all agree that the Bulls represent the Nations the Nations they want rain I think last week the the title of the shear was actually it wasn't my Shear but many of the shars last week was I will bless those who bless you ah that was I think Rabbi Bri which year on Tuesday night so if you come and you come toim and you recognize the god of Israel and you recognize Israel's right to exist because you believe the Bible is true so you could be a righteous no andem your land if you represent your people will uh what's the word will be blessed with rain and this past week's events whether you like it or not United States of America did vote in the 45th the 47th president of the United States as Donald J Trump who in my opinion my humble opinion is that he definitely is blessing the Jewish people and I think he recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as far as I I know and batm there should be a lot of BR and to America these coming years and of course they can shower those blessings on us right I put it as a place you can donate to Yan so we can continue to carry these messages far and wide um so this is it if you really think about it our message that this land is inheritance it's for us to know of course any godb believing Bible thumping non-jew will understand that is the truth but it's for every Jew I have so many old friends people I grew up with who are uh of the Cala Harris uh Camp very very emotionally distraught um going into a uh a panic mode and I want to assure you that um you should really check out your Jewish roots and the promises made to Abraham Isaac and Jacob and to their descendants and um this is a good choice and batem I'll sign off wishing everyone a shabbat shalom and a great life and a good winter and we'll see you next week [Music] it [Music]
