A Glimpse of HaShem's Awesomeness

1:09One of us understands that the world around us is not always what it seems. For example, when you use a phone, you may take it for granted. I may take it for granted. But in reality, that phone depends on certain things that you can't see called radio waves. So you use a phone and you call somebody in Japan, and 30 seconds later or two seconds later, somebody in Japan, thousands and thousands of miles away, answers the phone, and you can even see them now. ...atom are small, little balls, if you will. Small little balls. That's how they're, at least, they're visualized. The small little balls that spin around each other — one small ball spinning around a bigger ball. Now, everything and anything in creation — me, you, the camera, the walls, the buildings, all of the physicality in the world — is made up of those atoms, and... are small little balls, if you will, small little balls. That's how they're visualized, at least. They're small little balls that spin around each other, with one small ball spinning around a bigger ball. Now, everything and anything in creation—me, you, the camera, the walls, the buildings, all of the physicality in the world—is made up of those atoms.

2:35Everything is made up of those atoms. Now, scientists who have actually looked into the atom discovered that 99% of the atom, which in essence means 99% of creation, is empty space — it is nothing, zero, it doesn't exist. So how come everything looks solid? I look solid, you look solid, and the ceiling looks solid. If we jump up and down, we don't fall through the ground. How come? Because the atoms are spinning so fast that, in essence, it gives you the illusion that everything is indeed solid. It gives you the illusion that everything is indeed one piece. What is it like? Have you ever seen a fan, a ceiling fan? If you see a ceiling fan, or, for example, the turbine of a plane, when it spins really fast, it looks like there's a single blade. But once it stops, wow, it's five blades, ten blades, a hundred blades, depending on what kind of turbine you have. Lots of blades. How come I couldn't see all those blades when it was spinning really fast? Because it was spinning really fast, it gave you the optical illusion that there's a single blade.

3:49It was a single, solid piece. That's exactly what an atom is. That's exactly what all of creation is. Now, even if you look inside the atom, you'll see that even the inside, which we thought was the 1% of creation that's actually solid, even that itself is almost empty. Which means that the entire universe, not just Earth—everything, the planets, the stars, the sun, everything—is 99.999999% empty space, nothing. So the scientists ask what happens if it stops spinning for a second? Not for an hour or two hours. What if it just all stops spinning? Or what if, just like these chairs, the atoms of these chairs stop spinning for a second? What would happen? Would they blow up? Would they start screaming, "Ow, it hurts?" What would they do? It would simply disappear. Why? Because once it stops spinning for a second, the empty space will be exposed. Therefore, it would just simply disappear, which means the atoms in your body, the atoms in your face, the atoms in your ceiling, the floor, on earth, and in the universe if they stop spinning for literally half a second, would cease to exist.

5:10It would all cease to exist instantly. No explosions. No fire. Nothing. Just cease to exist. So, why am I telling you the science class right now? The question that you should have in your mind now is: what keeps those atoms spinning? Because we need them to keep going. There's no battery that they're connected to, last I checked. None of you guys are connected to an electric cord. What's keeping them spinning? The Creator, HaKadosh Baruch Hu. Borei Olam, Melech Malchei HaMelachim. He has, Baruch Hashem, several names, Nishtabach Shemo La'ad. All of those names are not even enough to explain to us how great He is. So when a person understands that he needs HaKadosh Baruch Hu to keep those atoms spinning to that extent, if you're not afraid of Him, if you're not praying to Him, if you're not serving Him, then you're simply missing the point of creation. simply either ignorant or crazy. Most of the time in today's world, it's just ignorance; people don't know who the Creator is, and they don't know what the Creator does for them because they simply are not paying attention. Once you start paying attention to the details of what Hashem does for you, it becomes very, very easy to pray to Him, very easy to talk to Him, and very easy to understand that He actually cares about everything that you say. Now, how do I know He cares about what you say?

6:37You specifically, you specifically, you specifically, everybody here specifically. How do I know? He wrote it in the Torah. In Sefer Amos, chapter 4, verse 13, HaKadosh Baruch Hu says, for behold, He forms mountains, He creates winds. He recounts to a person, "What were his deeds? What does that have to do with one another? So, first, it's telling you who's so great. He builds mountains, He creates winds, you know, these hurricanes you see that destroy entire cities. That's nothing for Him. The Sun is just one of His small angels. He does all these big things but also pays attention to the small details.” He recounts to you. What were your deeds? What does that mean? So the Midrash says it means ma'asecha. Ma'asecha means what did he talk about? What did Yaron Reuven talk about today between him and his wife?

7:42What did Bezalel talk about right before the shiur to somebody? What did Yaakov over here talk about yesterday at 2 o'clock in the morning? What did you talk about 25 minutes ago? Every single conversation you've ever had in your life and will ever have in your life, HaKadosh Baruch Hu says, oh, wow, chidush, nice. Good, I'm going to write this down. He writes down everything you say. That means every single thing you've ever said and every single thing you will ever say is being written down. Now, what's going to happen with this write-up that Hashem has of your life? When you show up, there are two Torahs: one is the Torah that we learn, and the other is the Torah of your life. They're going to show you what you spent your life doing. When you thought no one was listening, Hashem says, "Look what you said over here. You cursed Me out. How come you cursed Me? Why? Because you had a flat tire, you cursed Me. That's not nice. Why did you say you don't believe in Me because you didn't have any money? That's not nice. Why did you say that you hate Me because your girlfriend, who's not even Jewish, left you? That's not nice. He's going to repeat to you everything you said, but not just what you said with your mouth—what you said in your mind as well."

8:57Masiachur is not just what's out of your mouth, but also what's in your mind, because He knows what you're thinking. So when a person truly understands this, he thinks twice before he even thinks. We're very excited to offer you the new Be'ezrat Hashem app 3.0.
