1:37Mordrol means pure myrrh. It's one of the incenses used for the Mishkan. It's actually one of the spices that Moshe was commanded to use for the anointing oil, not the burnt offering. The anointing oil was used to make someone a Kohen or to make someone a king, as Moshe was instructed. or to make someone a king, and so on, the anointment way. So this is one of the spices that Hashem specifically told them to use: pure myrrh, mor deror. Okay. As all of you have heard before, there's something called codes, Torah codes. Right? Torah codes, even though we discovered, in essence, or understood how to figure them out in the last generation, the Gemara is already telling you that they knew about it already 2,000 years ago. With the Nazis. Right, with the Nazis, with the Rambam, with the Holocaust, all types of codes. Torah codes, where you look for a specific word. Let's say you look for Hitler. Okay? You want to find Hitler. So the computer program will look for the word Hitler by using a formula where it's separating each of the letters by a common number. So for example, if it's in English, it's not in English; it's in Hebrew.
3:04But just to give you an example so you understand: H, and then let's say, seven letters, I, seven letters, T, seven letters. It has to be a common space, the same space. It can't be H, seven letters, I, eighty-seven letters, T, thirteen letters. That's not a formula; that's just making stuff up. So it has to be an equal mathematical skip between each letter. So you see that there is a design behind it. What do we find in this verse, chapter 30, verse 23? In the word "Mor Deror," in pure Myrrh that the Gemara mentions. Mor Deror, it's two words. The first letter is Mem. If you count 12,196 letters, you get to Reish. You count another 12,196 letters, and you get to Dalet, and you spell Mordechai. Now, I just told you about some of the best codes. It's seven letters, 49 letters, not 12,196. It sounds like you're creating something.
4:29It's a little far. Okay, it's not like Hitler code. It's not like Rambam code. It's not like these other ones. They have only seven skips, 49 skips small. So you see that there's, it's on the same page even. 12,196 letters. It's different chapters. What's the 12,196? Okay, you're creative. Nice. Okay, it happens to be, nu, what's the big deal? What's the amazing thing about this? Now, obviously, you know the Torah was written over 3,300 years ago, much earlier than the Megillat Esther, which is well over a thousand years later. Right? So at the time we had the Torah, the Megillat Esther did not exist. Right? Megillat Esther, how many letters does it have? The total number of letters in Megillat Esther is exactly 12,196. This corresponds to the exact number of skips between each letter of the word "Mordechai" in the Torah. The same pattern applies to the word "Esther." Esther is also found in the Torah, with exactly 12,196 letters.
5:47It's still, as in the parasha, it says, Hashem's hiding His face. He's hiding from us. Not only did Hashem already know about the Torah and Mordechai, He knew exactly how many words you're going to put in it. But He's going to hide. He's going to hide in plain sight. You just have to know how to do it. The Gemara already knew. The people of the Gemara, the sages of the Gemara, it's something that everybody doesn't understand. thinks it's just a local rabbi from Chabad. You know, not to disrespect Chabad, I'm just saying, they think a person from Chabad today is not like Rabbi Akiva. Any rabbi today is not like Rabbi Akiva. All the rabbis today together are not like Rabbi Akiva. So, the people of the Gemara, people say, nah, some rabbis wrote it. They already told you, listen, we already know Torah codes. You're going to find it by looking at these specific words. That's where you're going to find the Torah code for Mordechai. That's where you're going to find Mordechai, who lived over a thousand years after the Torah was written, 1500 years later even, after the Torah was written. That's where you're going to find it. You see, the Torah has things that are beyond anything a human being could have ever written.
7:13beyond something that a human being could have ever written.
