This fire, the first bet had a fire the
shape of a lion. The fire in the second
bet mikdash the baki kiff was crouched
like a dog. Why? Why was it uh this way?
Because the uh beta mdash, the second
bet mikdash was built was built by the
Persian king who was a non-Jew. And says
something very scary that
this dog was symbolic of the
Satan
telling us that because we did not do
full cha part of the koban is going to
the satan
meaning the beta mikdash itself the beta
mikdash itself
was not fully
There was control partial control by
this.
Why
says I didn't destroy
the bricks and stones
just for you to rebuild them and without
doing cha
and I didn't do it just for partial
chuba. I want full chuba.
And that's what
is what we're here to say. We need full
chuba, not partial chuba.
It's good. It's a good start. But if you
think that you continue with partial
chuba, you're making a very big mistake.
And the reason why is because somebody
that knowingly sins, meaning he has
gotten to the point where he says,
"Listen, I keep Shabbat. I keep
I keep kosher. I keep this. I keep that.
I keep all these different things. But
this one particular thing, I'm not going
to do it
that thing. Not that it's hard for me
and I I I'm not I'm struggling with it.
No, not that. I'm going to try to do it,
but I'm just failing. No, no. This I'm
just not going to do it. It's not for
me.
Like he decides that this is not
something he's going to do. He's not
going to learn Tawa every day. Even
though Torah commands him to he's not
going to watch his bleed even though
Tahorah says to do it he's not going to
do something Torah says to do it he says
no no no this is too much for me and he
decides actively that this is not what
he's going to do the Rambam writes such
a person you cannot count him in minam
[Music]
writes something very interesting
in
Chapter 3. Alan number four,
[Music]
he writes, "When a Jew is authentic
Shabbat in public,
we do not accept any sacrifices from him
at all. Even a burnt offering that is
accepted from a go a gentile is not
accepted from an apostate or Shabbat. As
we learned from Leviticus 1:2 which
states a man uh from you who will
sacrifice according to the oral
tradition we learn that from you is not
from all of you. It excludes the
apostate. It excludes the Shabbat.
But here the Rambam says something very
interesting. He says, "Listen, if you
believe in other gods or you violate
Shabbat,
>> the KBA is not accepted."
>> Wait, somebody prays to let's say J C
Penney or prays to a rabbi or prays to
one of the pictures
is the same thing as somebody that
drives on Shabbat. How could this be?
How could this be? The guy is praying to
somebody. Okay, fine. I understand why
he's not. Why is the guy that's driving
on Shabbat? Why is he why why is he why
is the problem with him?
So the rabb explains in Shabbat that
someone that violates Shabbat is
equivalent 100% to an idol worshipper
because
the idol worshipper and him are both
desecrating Hashem's name because
Shabbat is the cornerstone just of Jud
of the Jewish faith just like believing
in Hashem is
I am the man who has seen affliction by
the rod of his anger. He says, I am the
man who saw the worst things in the
world.
From here we see that Jeremiah was there
witnessing all of this. He wasn't just
prophesying prophesizing of the future,
what could be. He literally witnessed
people dying in the streets. millions of
them.
[Music]
He has placed me in darkness like the
eternally dead. He has walled me in so I
cannot escape.
So what happened when Jeremiah tried to
rebuke people become a laughing stock to
all my people object of their jobs all
day long.
When he tried to tell people the truth,
he tried to tell people to keep Shabbat.
He tried telling people to do good
things, get close to Hashem, so bad
things stop. Because there was so many,
so many wicked speakers, so many fakers
that call themselves prophets,
it was very hard for people to see, wait
a minute, you're telling me you're one
guy that says the truth, but there's 500
that are lying. More likely, it's 500
that telling the truth, then you're the
liar, and this is just a bad season.
It's just bad weather. It's just bad
luck. It's just bad this. It's just bad.
It's not Hashem. It's something else.
Because we understand Hashem. Hashem
understands us. He knows that we can't
do it. He knows that we can't do it.
>> He says, "I've become a laughingtock and
make fun of him in public when he tried
to tell him the truth."
>> So what happens when this happens?
Jeremiah tells them,
"You're forgetting that Hashem is Hashem
and not just some person."
In verse number 37, he says,
[Music]
says, "Whose decree was ever fulfilled
unless the Lord ordained it? Is it not
from the mouth of the most high that
evil and good emanate?
Of what shall a living man complain?
A strong man for his sins. Let us search
and examine our ways and return to
Hashem." He says, "All of the stuff
that's happening, everything is coming
from Hashem. Don't ever think anything
that's happening in the world is coming
somewhere else. Whoever said something
and did the opposite of what Hashem
wants it without Hashem allowing you to
do. Meaning anything and everything that
happens in the world, Hashem signs off
on it. You want to make a sin, Hashem
will allow you to do it. You want to
make a mitzvah, Hashem will allow you to
do it. There's a hurricane, it's Hashem.
There's a financial crisis, it's Hashem.
There's cancer, it's Hashem.
That's what Prophet Jeremiah says. Where
was God during the Holocaust? It's
Hashem.
mikdashm
everything is hashem that's what
Jeremiah is saying instead of
complaining he says what are you
complaining about
you should only complain about your own
sins he says let's search and examine
our ways and return to all of these bad
things are only happening because we're
disconnected from hemconnect
