Prophecies of the End of Days - Rabbi Zamir Cohen

0:06After the days, a collection of Tanakhic words that pass through the hearts of hundreds of millions of people around the world. What are the signs that indicate the period of their prophecy, of the Nevi'im of the Tanakh? When will it happen? What is the meaning of the words, war of Gog u'Magog? Mike Reiss

1:24What are the days of the Messiah and the resurrection of the dead? Rabbi Zamir Cohen exposes the verses, explains and clarifies the verses, and shows in a way that awakens curiosity, how things are going and appearing before our eyes, step by step. Shalom and good evening everyone. Our topic tonight, one of the special and fascinating topics that we have in the Tanakh, between the different mechanisms that exist in the Tanakh, a mechanism of scientific knowledge that modern science is discovering today, the metaphors in the Torah, the prophecies in the Torah. But from this system of prophecies in the Torah, one of the special topics is the topic called, "Prophecies of the End of Days." A topic that should be investigated and discussed, especially when we are in a time when we see that all the signs that were said about that time, which is called the End of Days, are appearing. In the past, it was very difficult to see those data, unless someone who created the world and watched until the end of all generations could tell a person what will happen in the future.

2:50Of course, there is no human ability, flesh and blood, to see what will happen in a week, in a month, in two years. Who can know? Of course not a hundred years, a thousand years. But whoever created the world can tell us what will happen in the future. After all, to know the future is one of the topics that everyone is very interested in and curious about. He wants to know what we are going through, especially when we are in a special period. Like the period we are in today, the questions arise and are asked. What is the war of Gog and Magog? What is it for? Who are the countries that fought in that period? What is the relation of the people of Israel to that war? What is Mashiach? What is his goal? What is the purpose? Is Mashiach an angel? Is Mashiach a person? What will happen at that time? Will the Day of Judgment come and the world be finished? Will there be nothing more? And the bigger question that people ask is, well, the Mashiach is fine, but when will he come? They want to know when the Mashiach will come. Is it possible to know, based on defined values,

4:05When will the Mashiach come? All these questions will be discussed with the help of Hashem tonight, when we focus on the Israeli-Arab connection, or more precisely, on the Israeli-Arab connection that we do not see today, and we will understand from this what is the great mistake of the politicians who try to solve the Jewish-Arab conflict in all kinds of ways. They think that the conflict between us and the Arabs is similar to different conflicts that were in the course of history. between different countries in Europe or in other places. And then they realize that, like in any conflict, you will reach a certain limit, you will give up, he will give up, and you can go on. And they complain, so many give up, so many give up, and nothing helps. Until next time, each of our claims is revealed to them as a weakness. And they complain more, and come and complain more, and complain more. We need to understand what the root of this conflict is, according to the Torah, according to the revelation that G-d revealed to us, and from there we can also stand on the right solution, how to reach a perfect life, a good life, a happy life. The prophecies in the Tanach, when they deal with the afterlife, some of them are difficult prophecies. But already from the beginning, it is very important to point out and emphasize a great rule that we have in the prophecies of the Tanach. This is important, already from the beginning,

5:34to emphasize this topic. A great rule has been taught to us by the Sages: a good prophecy must be fulfilled, but a prophecy of purification does not have to be fulfilled. There is no father who likes to scold his children. When we open the Tanach and see difficult verses about what will happen in that period, in Zechariah there are verses that talk about this. We will read the verses later, that a third will remain in the world. There is a discussion there, what is a third? Is it from the nations of the world, or from the people of Israel? And also from the third group, from this third group that will remain, it is written, they will be robbed because they robbed the money, and they will be punished because they took the gold. All the hard prophecies in the Tanach, do they have to be fulfilled? The big rule is that absolutely not. Even when it comes to prophecy. When the father says to the child, you behaved well, I promise you a prize. he will give him. But if he says to him, you behaved not well, I promise you punishment, he will certainly punish him. Not necessarily. According to the current situation, I will punish you. But if he sees that a child changes, improves, and corrects his behavior, there is no reason for him to punish him for anything he did or saw in the past. Therefore, as we see in the Tanach, explicit prophecies did not always come true. For example, the Holy One says to Yonah, go to Nineveh, tell Nineveh that in 40 days there will be nothing left of it, like Sodom and Gomorrah.

7:02Everything turned upside down there. At the end of the day, did it happen? It didn't happen. All the people of Nineveh were saved. But there was a prophecy here, right? A prophecy of Purah. We don't have to read it. When they had done their deeds, the prophet Yonah came and warned them. After the long story that was told, he tried to save them, and in the end, he came to them. After the warning that they had heard, they immediately fixed their deeds, even though they were Gentiles. But it is known that HaKadosh Baruch Hu requires from the Gentiles also to behave according to the instructions that He gave them. Here we need to emphasize a big rule. When we talk about the nations of the world against the people of Israel, there is a big mistake in the hands of those people who think that the Torah is as if it wants all the people to die. It would be a mistake to think that. As if there is a Jewish interest that all humanity will be taken from the world. Chalilah veChas. Chazal taught us, Chaviv Adam she-nivra b'tzelem. This is how it is written in the Mishnah, in Pirkei Avot. It is said that b'tzelem Elohim, He made man.

8:02Even when the Egyptians drowned in the sea and the angels asked Him to sing a song, which is a topic in and of itself, we need to explain what is the meaning of this song to the angels. But on all sides, this is what is written in the Midrash: when they asked Him to sing a song, the Holy One, blessed be He, silenced them. He said to them, "The works of My hands are drowning in the sea and you want to sing a song?" What are the works of His hands? These Egyptians who caused so many troubles are still human beings. The works of My hands are drowning in the sea; it is not the time to sing a song. That is to say, the Jewish relationship with all of humanity is that we are all dear and loving people. The fact that we sometimes fight with others is only from the judgment that comes to kill you, that you should kill him. It is not, on the other hand, that we have hatred of the infidels. In the Beit HaMikdash, on the holiday of Sukkot, there was a special avodah of 70 bulls in the Temple, corresponding to the 70 nations of the world. They were giving blessings to all the nations, through avodah, according to the Torah, which is what is behind those 70 bulls. That is, for the people of Israel, it is important that for all of humanity, it will be good. Only, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, who is the king of the world, like in every country that has a king, the citizens of the country are dear and important. Even the nations of the world are important to HaKadosh Baruch Hu. So what is the difference between the Jews and the people of Israel? They say, Chazal, for every king there is also the kingdom of the kingdom.

9:18Like the family of the king. The Holy One says to the people of Israel, "And you will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." Why exactly are we going to be the kingdom of the king? Because when all of humanity worshipped avodah zarah, everyone, without exception, even one in the world, didn't worship Hashem. There was a terrible insult to Hashem, everyone worshipped avodah zarah. One person came, And he was ready to burn in the fire for the idols. Who was it? Abraham, we understand. The Holy One says to him, "I will not be afraid of you, that he will send you to the fire. And you said that you are ready. And he will really send you to the fire. You did not know that you would survive." Abraham was sure that he would burn. You will be saved at the end of the day, you and your offspring after you. You will be with the Kingdom of the Prophets and the Holy G-d. I will take you as the king's wife, and we were fortunate enough to be born from the offspring of Avraham Avinu. Any non-Jew who wants to join by making an alliance with the Holy One, blessed be He, can also join Avraham's offspring by making an alliance of words and prayer. For a woman, only prayer and accepting all the commandments is required. This is how a person can join.

10:31there is a difference between Israel and the nations of the world. The nations of the world are the citizens of the state of God. The nation of Israel is the kingdom of the King. Therefore, the Goyim received only seven basic commandments on how to live and function in the world. And to the Jews, the Holy One says, you need to keep the taryag mitzvot, 613 commandments of kingship. The Goyim committed themselves to seven commandments against seven parts of the human body: the head, the hands, the arms, the legs, and the place of the covenant. These are the seven parts of the human body. On the other hand, The Jew committed to 248 commandments corresponding to the 248 organs in the human body, and 365 commandments corresponding to the 365 sinews in the human body. This is the demand of the Holy One from the people of Israel. This introduction is very important in order to understand the meaning of this topic that is called the Day of Judgment. Why is it needed at all? What is lacking in the world that will continue to flow as it has flowed? All of history, a little war, people are getting better, returning to normal. The sages of the secret explain that the original plan of God is to save human beings in order to serve Him. He just wants them to work before Him. Why is this a matter before themselves?

11:44But He wanted them to work and receive the reward in return for their work. That's why He created the real man, a soul, which is the spiritual soul that never dies. He put her inside a body, which is the clothing, for a certain period of time. The person deals in the world with works and trials. If he wins, he receives his reward with merit and not with money. But there is a working time and there is a time to receive the reward. For the working time, the Holy One set a time. When the time of work ends, the time of receiving the reward comes. This is what is called after the days and the days of the Messiah. Only before we reach the days of the Messiah, first of all, the Gog and Magog war must take place in the world. A world war between Christianity and Islam. Soon we will see the sources here in the verses and the words of the Malbim, who lived about 150 years ago and summarized the verses for us. A world war must take place between Christianity and Islam. It is interesting that all those who have not dealt with the Jewish people in history, like the Chinese,

12:45that they are countless people. The Japanese, the Thais, all of them are not on the list of the Gog and Magog war, as we will see in the rest of the list of countries. Precisely Christianity and Islam Those who will come against Israel and demand Jerusalem from us. These are explicit verses. The Malbim writes, from here it is proven that before the Messiah comes, Jerusalem will be ours and we will be here in the land. This is what he wrote 150 years ago, when the Land of Israel was empty. So he says, a mistake in the hands of those people who think that we are in the wilderness, the Messiah comes and we go to the Land of Israel, but until then the Land of Israel is empty. Do you know, he says, that there will be a time when there will be a Jewish government in the Land of Israel. And Jerusalem will be ours. And this Jewish government will be in a way contrary to the Torah of Israel. As it is written in the Gemara in Masechet Sotah on that time, that according to the Messiah, the gap, that is, the lack of a way to the Land, the gap will grow. The gap will grow. Who knows, 50 years ago, how young people were behaving with their parents and what is happening today.

13:53you see an amazing decline. For hundreds of years, thousands of years, there was no such decline. But this is expected, that the gap will grow in that period, and other signs that we will see later. Among the rest, it is written there, and the kingdom will turn into slavery. In other words, there is Jewish rule in the Land of Israel, a kingdom, not necessarily a king with a throne. In the language of Chazal, a kingdom is a rule. Also in the Zohar, when it talks about a king who has been exiled and so on, it talks about a king who has been exiled. Malchut will turn into minut. The Jewish government will be minut, kfirah, apikorsut, against the Torah. And Jerusalem will then be ours, writes the Malbim, that it was said, and I put Jerusalem in a cup for all nations. There are a few verses that talk about this, that Jerusalem will lead to the war of Gog and Magog. This is what it was said in Zechariah chapter 2, and I gathered all the Jews to Jerusalem for the war. will be Jerusalem. We'll see later why exactly Jerusalem. When they come against Israel and say to us, "Jerusalem is not yours," a conflict will break out between them and themselves, and as it was said, "a man's sword will be against his brother's hand," they will be burned, and then we will move on to the best period, which is called the days of the Messiah, which is the purpose of all of history, to reach that period.

15:15That's why I always say that out of the dozens of lectures that are held in different areas, the most central lecture is our lecture tonight. The lecture where everything revolves around it. When you know the whole subject of the later days and the days of the Messiah, you understand the purpose of life. What is the purpose that Hashem created the world for? What is the context of the Arab-Jewish conflict? What is the main focus of life and what should be done? And you don't have to address it at all. But, We will proceed as we mentioned, step by step. When people ask, "Tell me, when will the Messiah come?" So what is the answer? You want to determine dates, open the book of Daniel; at the end, there are numbers and calculations. You will do the calculations, maybe you will be able to find out. But be a little careful of the calculators. A person who wants to do calculations for himself, he will do so. But he is not allowed to publish to others. Why? Because what will happen if he sets a certain date, and at the end of the day this date arrives, and he publishes, let's say he has a big beard, and he publishes to everyone that in a certain year the Messiah will come. Everyone is waiting for that year. If the year changes, and the Messiah is not there, what do they all say? A sign that he will not come. So he expels them from belief. That's why it's written, "a little spirit of the thinkers," that's how it's written in the Talmud, Masechet Sanhedrin, even on Pesach they weren't used to speculate.

16:34Here they came out of their graves and used such a sharp knife, a sharp knife of a sword. But to deal with the signs that were said at that time is not only allowed but is also a good commandment, because throughout all of history, the people of Israel have always checked, at any time, what station we are in. 1,500 years ago, during the Amoraim, look at what period we are in. Three hundred years later, during the Geonim, they checked which historical point we are at. Later, in the early period, the entire history of the people of Israel always checked, according to the prophecies, at which point we are at. A little over two years ago, a viewer from Channel 2 on TV came to me and asked me to make a film about the rest of the days. So, his first question was, what happened to our generation that talks so much about redemption and Messiah? After all, the Tanakh has been written for many years. I told him that, first of all, it's not true that we're only talking now, because the people of Israel have always been waiting for Mashiach. But it's true that there's something special in our generation. And if you want, let's move on to the signs that were said at that time, and check for yourself if there's something that's written, and we don't see, either that it's already been written, or that we're in the midst of the writing. We'll see right away dozens of signs that were said at that time.

17:55And that's how a person can check for himself, without interpretations. To check for himself. Are we really in a special period, or is this period common, like all the periods we had in history? At the same time of the evening of the Mashiach, great things were said, but as I mentioned, we will open here in the language of the Zohar. The Zohar says, Rabbi Shimon opened and said, who is Rabbi Shimon? Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai. And I remembered my covenant with Yaakov. This is a verse that is said about the time of the redemption, that the Holy One says, And I remembered my covenant with Yaakov, and my covenant with Yitzchak, and so on. Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai asks, why is the word Yaakov written here in full, with a Vav? Everywhere Yaakov is written without a Vav. What is the meaning of the addition of the Vav, which during the Geulah was said, "and I remembered my brother Yaakov"? After all, the Zohar is the Torah of the Nistar. The Torah of the Nistar reveals to us what is hidden behind the things. Every letter in the Torah has secrets. Rabbi Shimon says so. This pasuk is said about the exile of Israel. Because when they are in exile, during the time that they were ordered to be exiled, they were ordered in the secret of the Vav. And it will be in the sixth millennium.

19:19Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai has already told us that the Vav that is in the word Yaakov, about the time of redemption, "and I remembered my brother Yaakov," the addition of the Vav comes as a sign that we will be redeemed in the sixth millennium. Throughout history, our main struggle was not with the children of Ishmael, but mainly with the children of Edom—Mas'et Tslav, Inquisition, the destruction, the destruction, and mainly with the destruction. In the last few years, in the last ten years, since we came here, there has been a plan. With the Christians, we are doing quite well. Our main problem is precisely with the Ishmaelites, and all of this is overlooked. A big rule must be remembered: Edom, Esav, and Christianity, all of these are one thing. There is a place in the Tanakh where these Edomites are called by the dark name, in the vision of the four pillars, there they are also called by the dark name. All of this is Christianity. The Ishmaelites are Muslims.

20:41This is something else. There are these three groups: the people of Israel, Christianity, and Islam. The Christians are the sons of Edom, the sons of Esav. Esav is Edom, which is symbolized by Rome. After all, Rome, which destroyed the Second Temple, is today the center of Christianity all over the world. The pillar of Islam, everything comes from there. And Ishmael is one of the Arabs. Rabbi Shimon says that in the sixth millennium, there will be redemption. He continues and says this. It's a poem in which he goes on and on and gives us numbers. In 66, it's very interesting, the vav of the verse, he repeats it again, 6 and 6. In 66, battles broke out in the world towards the north. We're talking here about the north, which in the year 66 CE, he doesn't tell us which CE, whether it's Taf-Shin CE, or Taf-Resh CE, or Taf-CE, but he mentions here CE, in 66. ...and battles were waged in the world towards the north, and the symbol is the next soul to Yaakov of Mitzrayim, the 66th soul. Then he continues and explains that from then on there will be years of development; he even talks about a period of tens of years...

21:59ובהמשך הוא כותב, ובני ישמעאל עתידים בזמן ההוא לעורר מלחמה עם כל עמי העולם לבוא על ירושלים. ככתוב, ואספתי את כל הגויים אל ירושלים למלחמה. ונאמר, התייצבו מלכי ארץ ורוזנים נוסדו יחד על ה' ועל משיחו. ונאמר בהמשך, יושב בשמים ישחק, ה' ילעג למו. In fact, the Zohar expected that in one of the 66 years of the sixth millennium there would be wars on the northern side. He is talking about interesting developments; I will not criticize everything here, but about other possibilities for the future to be in that period. The interesting thing is that this issue of the struggle of the Jewish people with the Yishmaelim, with the Muslims, appears in the Zohar in countless places. The Zohar tells that because Yishmael is a nimshal, but his word is not perfect, they are just animals without making a living, so they will take control of the Land of Israel for a certain period of time. The Zohar says that especially when the land will be empty of its inhabitants, they will rule the Land of Israel, as their word of covenant is empty of them. And this is interesting.

23:19that while the Zohar was written about 2,000 years ago, who could have seen that when we go back here, the Arabs are found? So there were soldiers here who tried to capture the land. There were soldiers here at that time, the Byzantines and others, who tried to capture the land. But it was the Arabs, the Muslims, who took control. In the Talmud, in the text of Bava Batra, there are a few amazing sentences Like an example that is written there. And the genius of Lissa, the Ba'al HaTevu'ot, described this example in an amazing way. It is written like this. A rabbi in Bava Batra tells the example as if it were about himself. He tells about himself as if it happened like this and like that. And all these examples have an analogy. It comes to pass a message to generations about what will happen in the future. Because in the analogy everything is strange. But by way of wisdom, it is hidden in an example and it has an analogy. The next verse says this. Once he says, "We sank in a ship in the sea, and here we saw a place that seemed to us like it. We got off the ship, we lit a fire, we swam, and we didn't know that we were on the back of a certain fish. When it was hot for the fish, it turned, and we all fell into the water. And if the ship wasn't close,

24:47We were dead for sure. What did he want in this story? What did he want in this example? This is what HaGaon MiLissa says, I will read it to you. Here in the book of Tuvcha Yabiu, page Kuf Yudbet, he brings the words of HaGaon MiLissa, the owner of the Netivot, who lived about 200 years ago. He writes like this. And the owner of the Netivot, who saw a lot of blessing in the Holy Spirit, this was written 1500 years ago, the Talmud, He saw in the Holy Spirit that in the days to come, Israel will have a government over one nation. The nation of Israel will rule over another nation. Who could have thought of that then? And they will think that this nation has no hope of overcoming Israel. Therefore, Israel will oppress them even more under their own hands. But this nation, when everyone is very angry, will turn the anger on its face and will oppose Israel. And if not for the Mashiach to come soon, Israel will be expelled from most of the cities. He brings here later, that when Rabbi Nachum Partzovitz

25:51Zekher tzaddik livracha, heard the words of the great Rabbi Akiva. He said that he himself said these things with ruach hakodesh. Who could then see that the people of Israel would be in power? After all, the people of Israel at that time would be destroyed by the goyim. And not only will he have a land of his own, but he will also rule over another people. This is what he saw there when they came down from the hill. On the same hill, they thought that this is the Land of Israel. The people of Israel come to the Land of Israel, and he says, "Here, here we will have peace." And then they are arrested and executed. But this heat, as long as he goes and rises and hits this fish that is there, in the end, this fish turns and sends everyone to the water. And unless the redemption is really close, the Mashiach is really close, the people of Israel will not be able to hold a position at that time. In fact, when we want to test and verify the post-modern period, there are dozens of signs that are said about that period, and we will go over them quickly. First, it is written that the post-modern days and the war of Gog and Magog will take place only after the people of Israel come to the Land of Israel.

26:58This is said in the verses in the book of Yechezkel, perhaps we will read here the book of Yechezkel, chapter 11. And he said to me, "Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him." He says to him, present your prophecy to Gog, that is the name of the man, the land of Magog, the name of the state, a president. The description of Gog: no king and no prime minister. What will be his description? A president. The president is a Gog. The head of an army is a Gog; he will be the head of a coalition of states, and they will vote for him. You will vote. And you said that Hashem said, "Here I am, a Gog, a president, a head of an army, a Gog, and you are a Gog. You will go out like a Gog in this war, that is, without logic, like a Gog child. And I gave you wisdom in your life, a kind of wisdom. In your life, I will continue you in the war, even though no one will understand, because what do you need it for? But you will go to this war." Later, there is another list of countries: Paras, Cush, Ufot, Itam, Gomorrah and all its provinces, Bet Togarmah, the North, and all its provinces. Many nations with you. Soon we will see who these countries are. When will this happen? "From many days you will be called upon." He says it will take a long time; Yechezkel lived 2500 years ago. He says it will take a long time. After the years, when the end comes,

28:18as we saw earlier, the end, that is, the end of the time of receiving the reward, which is the days of the Mashiach, the best time in all of history, as we will see later. in the following years, you will come to a country that revolves around a sword. you will come to a country that revolves around most wars. it is surrounded by many nations. after we have already been surrounded by many nations, in one of the shiurim, when I arrived here, someone cut me off, so maybe it's America, many nations were also surrounded by them. I told him to wait, to continue. On the mountains of Israel, which have always been desolate. It's written in a verse, on the mountains of Israel, which have always been desolate. What does it mean that they have always been desolate? When you will come, they will no longer be desolate. It means that the land of Israel will be desolate for a long time. The people of Israel will come here, will build the land, and then you will gather. Gog with all the other countries we saw before, and now, you will demand something from Israel. What will you demand? It's not written here in the chapter of Yechezkel HaMemtet. But in Zechariah, chapter Yud-Dalet, there he explains, when he also talks about the war of Gog and Magog, there he explains what will be the reason for the war. There it is said that they will come to Jerusalem. They will say to us, Jerusalem is not yours, give us Jerusalem. Who could, even a hundred years ago, when we were not here at all, who could think and dream that Jerusalem will be a reason for the world war?

29:35Anyone who remembers the peace agreement with Arafat knows that Barak almost signed a peace agreement with him. What did the peace agreement fall on? They agreed on everything, except for Jerusalem. Jerusalem proved to be the stumbling block for the peace agreement. And we have prophecies that Jerusalem will be a safe haven for all nations. What is a safe haven? It will be the solution that will unite everyone. Is there a designated year in which there will be a battle of Gog and Magog? The answer is that in general, this whole topic of redemption, the Gemara says that there is a verse that says that redemption will come "be'itah." What is "be'itah"? In time. And it is written, "achishena." What is "achishena"? I will hasten it. The Gemara asks, what is the truth? Will redemption come "be'itah," or will the Holy One, blessed be He, hasten it? He gave a period of work, which is what is said, a thousand years ago, the world existed. Six thousand years He was cast to the world. In the book of Otzar Ha-Geonim, Rabbi Akiva writes that it is 6,000 and a little more. But no matter what happens, around the 6,000, this is what is limited to the world. This is called a delay. When the time comes, and the people of Israel still don't change as they should, the clock is ticking, there is a defeat.

30:46But there is the possibility of Achishena. What is Achishena? To hasten it. There is the possibility for the people of Israel to hasten the redemption. But to hasten the redemption, there are exits. There are all kinds of exits. There are certain years that are called the times that are suitable for redemption. A time that is suitable for redemption. Like when we come from Yerushalayim to Tel Aviv. So there are all kinds of changes like that that we can get out of them. There is Kibbutz Galuyot, there is Derech HaShalom. If you miss one exit, you have to wait for the next exit. This is how you have an exit at the end. The road ends at a certain point. But on the way, there are exits. If the people of Israel survive and climb the line, they succeed in getting out of there. If they don't succeed, they have to wait for the next station. The years that are possible for destruction. Also, this issue of Gog and Messiah. Who will be Gog? That king who will fight this war of the world, between Christianity and Islam, as we will see soon. And who will be the Messiah? Will it be one person throughout history? It is written that no. There is the soul of Gog, and there is the soul of the Messiah. From time to time, when the time is right to perish, the Holy One sends the soul of Gog to a certain person, like a seal of a soul, that he receives this soul, and he becomes Gog. If the generation is right, then he who became Gog, and someone else, who is from the generation of King David, receives the soul of the Messiah.

32:10they go out to fight, and in the end, the King Mashiach appears, the Temple is built, the dead are resurrected, and the world transitions to the time of receiving the reward. If they don't get rewarded at the same time, then it's due to the death, or if it's about the vessel of a soul. If he was born with the soul of Gog, then it's him until he dies. If he only has the vessel of this soul of Gog, then it leaves him and goes to another person. According to the matter. And the same goes for the Mashiach. That's why the Gemara says, asked the Holy One to do to Sennacherib, Gog, and Hezekiah, the King of Judah, as He will do to Mashiach. Why did he ask? After all, there is a certain person. The answer is that even a living person can receive a copy of the soul of Mashiach, and this person can receive a copy of the soul of Gog, and then things develop. To decide who is Mashiach, to decide who is Gog, of course, is not a good thing. But when you see signs like these, especially when the Malbim writes in Zechariah, according to verses, ...that before the war of Gog and Magog, first of all, Babylon will fall into the hands of a Christian state. Who is Babylon? Iraq. Why exactly will it fall into the hands of a Christian state? The explanation is as follows. After all, what is the purpose of the war of Gog and Magog? Why do we need it? Why is it impossible for Mashiach to come without the war of Gog and Magog? Why do we need this war? There are two reasons for the war of Gog and Magog.

33:36The first reason is that G-d, first of all, pays the enemies of Israel for all the troubles that have happened to us throughout history. The time of the Kabbalah, the days of the Mashiach, has to come. But what about all those who have caused troubles to the people of Israel? We have to pay them. So G-d brings them back again, all those who have caused troubles throughout history. Nebuchadnezzar comes back, and all the rest come back again. Instead of blaming these and these alone, the Christians alone and the Muslims alone, and now we'll understand why the Chinese and the Japanese are out of the picture, because they did no harm to Israel throughout history. But those who did harm to Israel, Instead of beating each other up against themselves, the Holy One gathered everyone against Israel. Jerusalem is a bad place for all nations. But when they come, a man's sword and his brother will be, they will fight each other. The last world war, it is written, will be the hardest war in history, but it will be a war between Christianity and Islam. It is interesting that in the Midrash Tehilim, there is a Midrash written nearly 2000 years ago... Midrash Tehillim, chapter Kuf Tet, it is written there that three times Gog and Magog will rise over Israel. So there are those who say that these three times refer to the First World War, the Second World War, and the Third World War, which will probably be the last, if indeed these two are in the list of the three wars that Midrash Tehillim talks about. Also, the Malbim, the Malbim mentions in Yechezkel chapter Lamed-Bet,

35:03He mentions this issue in the verse of Yud-Zayin. He writes this. He sums up this whole issue of the war of Gog and Magog. It's simply amazing. Whoever reads these verses will not believe that it was written 150 years ago. The Malbim, Rabbi Meir Leibush ben Yechiel Michel, lived in Europe 150 years ago. He was simply a genius in interpreting the verses. And in the verse of Yud-Zayin, he sums up what happened at that time. He writes this. Here, at the end. What is at the end? When we get to the end. After Israel had already settled in the land of Israel. How does he know that this is after we have settled here? Because at the time of Israel, there was a famine. because there is an explicit verse, which is being used by many nations, as we saw earlier. After Israel settled in the land of Israel, and the Messiah is still not here, the nations will gather to conquer Jerusalem. He says, all the people will come against Israel, and will say to us, "Jerusalem is not yours, give us Jerusalem." And where does he know this? Again, from verses, as we mentioned earlier.

36:03And there will come Gog, the king for a long time, from the countries of the north and the west, who are the Aralites, who are called Edom. He mentions here the west and the north. What is the north in the Tanakh? Everywhere that says north in the Tanakh, who is the north? This is Babylon, Iraq. "From the north, the evil will open," the prophet Jeremiah will prophesize, and Babylon is the one that destroyed the first Beit HaMikdash. Because Babylon, the Mikraite, is north of Eretz Yisrael, the Mikraite. That's why it's called the north. So he says that Gog will come, that he will be the president for a long time. We must remember that the names of the countries have changed throughout history. For example, we called it Persia. Persia will also be a partner in the battle of Gog and Magog. Whoever searches today in all the atlases in the world, there is no country called Persia. Who is the winner today? Iran. It changed its name. This is how the world works. The countries change their names. You need to know who these countries are today. So he says that Gog will come, a king of long and short, from the northern and western countries. Western countries? Who do we call Western today? Western countries.

37:09And he connects them together, Iraq and the West. And he says that he is the president of both of them. That they are the so-called red herds, and Meshech and Tuval are the sons of Yefet who live in Europe. Parashat Noach. Yefet gave birth to Meshech and Tuval. And there he said, where is there? In chapter 11, later. Because Paris, Cush, and Fut Itam, apart from these countries that he mentioned, which are Europe, the West, and the North, Paris, Cush, who thought about Paris until not long ago? But here it says that Paris will be a component of this coalition. Paris, Cush, and Fut Itam, And so, Bet Togarmah, that they are all strong in the religion of the Ishmaelites. That is, the children of Edom, these are the Christians, with the Ishmaelites, with the Muslims, and they gathered with the children of Edom to conquer the land from Israel. That is, there will be a coalition of countries in the world, they will say to Israel, Jerusalem is not yours, boycott Jerusalem.

38:10Just recently, Bush went out in the media and announced that there is a war between Islam and the West. Previously, he always claimed that there is a fight only against terrorism. Today, he already defines it in the name of Islam. What Bin Laden always said, that we are fighting, there is a slave trade of the Christians, and there is a religious war. Bin Laden always claimed that this was a religious war. Whoever would have said these things a few decades ago, they would have hated him. Whoever would have read the Malbim, it would have sounded very strange to him. How is that possible? and announced that there is a war between Islam and the West. Previously, he always claimed that there is a fight only against terrorism. Today, he already defines it in the name of Islam. What Bin Laden always said, that we are fighting, there is a slave trade of the Christians, and there is a religious war. Bin Laden always claimed that this was a religious war. Whoever would have said these things a few decades ago, they would have hated him. Whoever would have read the Malbim, it would have sounded very strange to him. How is that possible? How is it possible that the Christians and the Muslims are one and the same? They are good friends. But the nationalists fell. An attack in Madrid, in Spain, and then no one understood what they wanted from the Spaniards. Bin Laden went out to the media, saying, "We have a long account with the Spanish Inquisition from 500 years ago." Religion. He always emphasizes religion. After that, separations of European countries are on fire in Muslim countries.

39:25Muslims in France. How did the French fight them in the beginning? They didn't believe that the Muslims stood against them. The world is going through a world war between Christianity and Islam. When we connect the global map, we can see that things are going in this direction that the Amalekim are talking about, a religious war between Christianity and Islam. But what we need to ask ourselves, So why should they come against us? The Holy One wants to punish them. Let them punish each other. Why should they come against us and say to us, "Jerusalem is not yours?" And while the Malbim writes in Zechariah, maybe it is really necessary here to read his language, there is in Zechariah, chapter 12, a vision of four components. And he will call me and speak to me in Mor. This is what the prophet Zechariah says. Behold, those who go out to the land of the north have taken my spirit in the land of the north. Those who went out, the black soldiers who went to fight in the land of the north, which is Iraq, have taken my spirit. They killed me. And they fought them. The Malbim says, the blacks, which is the Roman kingdom, which will go to the land of the north to capture a kingdom there. What is a kingdom? A kingdom.

40:39This means that the old Christians will go and take power in Babylon, in the north. The Radak writes about this verse, the Christians who went there to destroy Iraq, to destroy Babylon, the prophet says here in the name of Hashem, according to which they have betrayed Israel too much. As it is written, "I was only a little angry, but they added to the calamity." That is, since Babylon of then was the first to destroy the First Temple, says the Malbim, the first to fall into the hands of a Christian state before the war of Gog and Magog, will be exactly Babylon, that is Iraq. The Malbim continues, the Edomites, who are the kings of Rome, will go to the northern land to capture a kingdom there, and it will also be northern. That is to say, the same Christian state that will conquer Babylon will also be northern. Why will it be northern? Because it is now in control there. And from there, the evil will open up to destroy Jerusalem. This last sentence here is simply amazing. The Malbim here tells us that any state that will overthrow the coalition of the countries of the world against Israel and will tell us that Jerusalem is not yours, the same state that will conquer Babylon,

41:54That is, as soon as we see that the United States is going to do more against us, we will know that we are moving forward in the steps of the prophecy. Today, on this day of the lecture here, after all, the United States is our good friend. how much it supports, how much it oppresses, how much it helps. But we have here a prophecy that, as far as we can see, the United States speaks more against us because the Malbim writes that the same country that will conquer Babylon, and it is a Christian country, will become a northern country, like the northern land, and from there the desert will open. That is, through the conquest there, they will come in demand against Israel and tell us, "Jerusalem is not yours." This is very similar to what we saw earlier, in the tarachishim that connect as a kind of puzzle, especially if we combine the two signs that were said at that time. Maybe we'll read here from the Talmud in the Sotah text. The Talmud, as we know, was written about 1600 years ago, and the Talmud sums up what will happen at that time, except for additional signs that are separate in the verses. For example, the well-known verse

43:07which says that G-d will take the people of Israel to the Land of Israel, it says there, and they will be taken from the Land of Israel. Bam, Iver and Piseach, Harah and Yoledet together. That is, when we go up to the Land, from the Land of Israel, the most desolate places. G-d tells us, you will see something very strange. When they will ascend to the Land of Israel, and will be separated from the Land of Israel, among those who will ascend will be a man and a woman, a man and a woman together. What is the common ground between these four? People who are limited, who are not suitable for long journeys. People who are weak, people who are weak in their feet. Women who will ascend, women who will give birth. He says, all those who will ascend to the Land of Israel, or to you, on the straight path, will not be included in it. A very strange verse. Where is there a straight path in the world? From the Land of Israel to the Land of Israel. there are always mountains, there are caves, there are cemeteries. But today we are in the Land of Israel, we are here, the people who are here in this world see on our faces that we have come from many countries. There are people here who came from Morocco, from Yemen, from Poland, from all kinds of places in the world. We are already here. Will Hashem accept this prophecy? Will there be something He will promise? There will be. Airplanes fly. After all, the planes come through the air, that is, directly. We never understood how He would bring us directly, or for you, they would not land directly.

44:22And you're talking about the Land of Israel, you're not talking about two closed cities, the most polluted places in the world. But, planes come through the air, it's a straight line. Who leaves the plane's belly? Women from the cities, women from birth, women from slavery, women with children, leave the planes. There are women who were born on planes when they came to Israel, women from Yemen, Ethiopians, and they didn't know that they were arriving at the same time. At that time, it was said that in the cities of Yehudah and outside of Yerushalayim, there was a sound of mourning and a sound of joy, a sound of mourning, of mourning for their loved ones. It is written that the streets of Yerushalayim were filled with the sounds of children playing. Old men and old women sat in the streets of Yerushalayim. Whoever read these things 700 years ago, The Ramban was here 700 years ago, Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman. He wrote to his family outside the country, "What can I tell you about Jerusalem?" He came to Jerusalem and it was destroyed. He says, "I searched for Jews and there are none in all of Jerusalem. I found only one and two sons of the Jews." Those were the Jews in Jerusalem, one and two sons of the Jews. So you read in the verses, every joy and every joy, I even cried out to Jerusalem. They were crying out to Jerusalem. What a sin and what a cry. What old people there are, and children crying and playing.

45:50Today, we see the verses, they sing these songs, and we don't know that there is a prophecy here. People get married in Jerusalem and make a prophecy. They make a prophecy at the same time. It is also said about that time, the future of Jerusalem that will spread over the entire land of Israel. That is to say, there will be a building movement in Jerusalem until it will connect to all the cities around it, and from there on. Tel Aviv will have a neighborhood in Jerusalem. Holon will have a neighborhood in Jerusalem. Go ahead. Haifa... Beit She'an, Tiberias, all these neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Once it was difficult to navigate. Jerusalem was between these small walls until 100 years ago. Who would have dreamed that there would be more than 800,000 people here in less than 100 years, that there would be such a number of people in Jerusalem? It is said that the future of Jerusalem will increase by three generations. And the Gemara there asks, how will such tall buildings rise? The Gemara says, there is another verse, that then they will say in astonishment, from those who have lost their lives and are living to their multitude. Like the clouds, they will rise up and are living to their multitude. This is how the Gemara brings the verse about how they will rise to these heights. Who thought then that there would be an aircraft? And the Gemara says, that then they will say, from those who have lost their lives and are living to their multitude. Maybe their multitude refers to the multitude of the mountains.

47:06Who knows what the meaning is there? But the sages said that there will be no problem. They will quickly rise to these heights. They were not afraid to say these things even when it looked very strange because they knew that if this is how we received the prophecy, this is how it will be. The Gemara says in the tractate Sanhedrin, what is the meaning of this verse? He says in the next chapter, he was also one of the sages of the Zohar, but the sentence I just mentioned is in the Talmud. He says, it is true that there are dozens of signs that were said about the same period of the latter days, but the biggest sign, more than all the other signs, is when you see the Land of Israel open and giving its fruits. When you see a flood in the Land of Israel, a flood, then you know that there is no end to it; it is the biggest sign. And really, for those who know the history, the Land of Israel was a land of milk and honey. We went out to the wilderness, it prospered, it kept the faith of the people of Israel, but it did not give any fruit. There was Mark Twain here 180 years ago. The well-known American author sent a letter to his family, he writes there, a curse of blasphemy prevails over the Holy Land. People are screaming, screaming, nothing grows. He didn't know it wasn't a curse of blasphemy, it's a verse in the Torah.

48:29In the Holy Torah it is promised to the people of Israel: when you will go to the desert and destroy the land upon which you dwell. It says, you will go to the desert, and I will destroy the Land of Israel. Why? Because the Land of Israel has the ability to overcome obstacles to a certain limit. If you are determined, it will overcome you. And the land will not overcome you as it has overcome the foe right before you. It's like when a person eats something that's not that spicy, his digestive system can handle it. But if he eats something that's too spicy, the stomach explodes. That's how Eretz Yisrael is. It's sacred. Everywhere in the world it's forbidden to eat. But there's a time when Eretz Yisrael explodes. Sometimes you meet young people outside, and they say with pride, "I came down from the land." Are you sure you came down? Maybe Eretz Yisrael came down on you. Maybe you just think you came down. And in fact, the Land of Israel did not want you there. Not simply the situation that today there are so many Jews outside the Land. And of course, our job is to be in the King's palace, in the King's palace, and to act as we should. The Holy One, from the beginning, tells us that when we are not in order, if we are not in order, then we will be expelled from here. But He tells us in that verse,

49:41And I will take over the land, and your enemies who live there will hear of it. Our enemies will live here, they will be here, but they will not be able to give up. Why is that? If they were able to take over the land, a harvest of fruit, as we are doing today, the people of Israel today, the Land of Israel that has kept its faith, suddenly opens up and brings out a harvest. If it had given them fruit as it has given us, After all, Israel, apart from being sacred to all religions, is strategically located in a very central place. Everyone wanted it. If there were conflicts in the country, where would we go today? The whole country was full of problems. For 2,000 years it had been full of problems. We had nowhere to go back to. The Holy One, blessed be He, says in the beginning of the verse, and listen to your enemies who live there. I saw someone write in recent reports, a few years ago, when Arafat was alive, A Muslim sheikh visited Israel. He is the representative of the Muslim religious people in Italy. He said to a writer in recent reports, in my opinion, Arafat is wrong. The Land of Israel belongs to you, the Jews. The writer said to him, you say such a thing? You are a Muslim sheikh, the representative of the Muslim religious people in Italy. You say that the Land of Israel is ours? He said to him, anyone who has eyes sees that it is so.

50:56That is, for two thousand years this land was empty, everyone tried to settle it and it didn't succeed for them. You came and everything blossomed. That means that Hashem kept the land for you. This is in the eyes of a Muslim from outside the land. Apparently, he is not in all the darkness here, so it's easier for him to look with more open eyes. And he says, everyone who has eyes sees this. You weren't here, everything was empty, you came and everything blossomed, Hashem kept the land for you. And he doesn't know that these are explicit verses. That when we get out of the wilderness, it will be opened, and when we return, it will be opened. And he said to his neighbor, there is no end to this. There is no sign greater than this for the same period of prophecies after the days. When you see the land of Israel flourishing, you will know that you are in that period. In the Masechet Sotah, there is a list of signs. Following the Messiah, the chutzpah will grow. The chutzpah will grow. And the Galilee will be destroyed. And the Golan will be burned. It will be burned, it will be filled.

52:19And the Galilee will be destroyed. And the Golan will be burned. It will be burned, it will be filled. In the Talmud, there is a version, and in the Book of Eliyahu, it is written, the Golan. But it is clear that the meaning is the same place. What does it mean that the Galilee will be destroyed? There are two interpretations. There is the interpretation that it will be physically destroyed, that the houses will be destroyed. And there are those who say that it will be destroyed in the sense of becoming a dry place. Like a dry place, when it dries, it is called a dry place. In other words, it will dry from its seat. People will leave it and escape to other places for some reason. The Galilee will be destroyed, and the Golan will be burned; it will become a dry place. And the border people will go around from town to town and will not find us. Those people who lived along the border will go around the country from town to town and they will have nowhere to be. Does this refer to the people of Gush Katif who were displaced, to the people of the north who, following the rockets of the Katyushas and everything that is happening there, are searching and fighting within the country?

53:22They searched for them in other places. Does this mean that the soldiers who need to protect the borders, the border guards, who are circling the country and are not allowed to live in them... You hear of a soldier being killed in Yerushalayim and you don't understand, but this is my country, of course. Such things don't happen in the world. That a soldier of that country will be killed inside the country, always on the border or in other countries. Laws that 1500-1700 years ago were empty now have meaning. You can really see the change in this and that. And the wisdom of the writers will shine and shine with time. The image of the public that sees the commandments will be an image of redemption. Why? Because people don't know the religious. Or it's a TV program where a politician comes and talks about money. or some Charedi who is portrayed in a negative light in the media, and that's it. But when a person gets to know Judaism from the inside, it's not like a person is determined to seek a religion, but what the Torah teaches, he sees the beauty of the Torah. When he really sees the kindness and the love that is in someone who has true yirat shamayim, then he sees a different world.

54:40People come and buy a loaf of bread. Do you know people who sell tickets to a wedding? A woman sells her wedding dress, sells her watch. People really buy and are really willing to buy in order to get a little more food. We're talking about food. We're not talking about licenses, and not that the children were kidnapped and were given tens of thousands of dollars. These are minimal things. Food is for every day. Food is for every day.

55:551989, Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway. A bus driver crashes into a building. Seventeen people are killed. After the evacuation of all the injured, dozens of volunteers carry out the collection and evacuation of the bodies of the victims. After a few years of spontaneous organization of volunteers, in 1995 they were given permission for the ZAKA organization to be the official body in the State of Israel, which deals with the removal of dead bodies, which is not natural. The ZAKA organization today has 604 volunteers, divided into six units, with a full national budget. Holy work. I have no other definition than to define this activity as holy work. In the name of my volunteer body, that can be done without them in times of crisis. You see for yourself the network of motivation and the holy authority to carry out this mission. This unit is a condition as part of the unit of salvation and geulah. I don't know how we would have managed without this organization. The skills that you have, the capabilities that you have, and the strength that you have

57:03and the emunah that you have, we don't have. A body like ZAKA is a reality in almost all of Israel. And the people of Israel have such a body. it affects the work, it affects the life of the family in the days that followed. There were times when I went out, when I was in the middle of a family wedding and I received a report on the event, and I went out and I could not go back to the wedding. Because to go back from an attack to a wedding, it did not belong. If it wasn't for us, then there was no one who would do it. If it wasn't for us, then all these points of the wall would have been destroyed by a fire. But it is written that at the same time, there will be such an introduction. And the truth is wonderful. Young men will act like old men, old men will act like young men, sons will act like fathers, mothers will act like daughters, a man's enemies will be his children, inside the house he will have enemies, the generation will act like dogs, and the son will not be ashamed of his father.

58:08In previous generations, the son would want to do foolish things. He would have to look for a place to hide. But in this generation, the son is not embarrassed by his father. He comes home and tells him what to do and what not to do. A phenomenon that in the past seemed strange, but today things seem very simple. At the same time, it is also said that there will be a great teshuva movement in the Land of Israel. "Behold, the days are coming," says Hashem, "when I will send a famine upon the land—not a famine for bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Hashem." As you can see today, it's a difficult thing. It's also said in another verse, "Here I send to you the prophet Elijah, before the great and terrible day of Hashem, and he will return the hearts of the fathers to their sons, and the hearts of the sons to their fathers." What does it have to do with Elijah the prophet? That he will awaken teshuva. The prophet says that there is a person who deserves to discover Elijah in the end. There is a person who deserves it in a dream. There is a person who doesn't deserve this or that. But in the same period, after the days, the prophet says... Simple people were able to discover Eliyahu from within. A breath of Eliyahu's breath enters them and drives them to repent, and they don't understand where it came from.

59:17This is what is written, "And the heart will return to the fathers over the sons." This explains what we see today: young people and young women are strengthening in Teshuva, and you don't understand. Look how much he is compromising, and he is returning to Teshuva. He is compromising so much. It's not easy to change habits, to change lifestyles, and from love and promotion and prosperity. Where does he get these powers? Sometimes he himself doesn't know where he got this awakening from. We have a prophecy about this, that there will be an awakening, a kind of inner revelation of Eliyahu, an inner exaltation of a person, who will receive powers, an inner incentive to come closer to G-d. This is one of the roles of Eliyahu HaNavi, at the time when it was said, "And the heart of the fathers will respond to the sons, and the heart of the sons will respond to their fathers." We will now read another passage from the Zohar. There is a very interesting Zohar, who also talks about the same period, only talks about a kind of struggle that exists in the world of truth between the prophet Eliyahu and the prophet Mashiach. He says this to Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, he says to him, Michael came, the great minister of Israel, and asked the Holy One, when did the beloved children come out of the wilderness?

1:00:32The Holy One will come to him, the Samael, the minister of Edom. You claim that you are the minister of Israel, you want them to leave the Galut. The Samael will come. He is the minister of Edom. Let's see what he says. The Samael came and said to Michael what he said. The Samael will come, the Lord of the worlds. You are the one who said that you will be the Knesset of Israel in the Galut until there will be righteous people, and they will be righteous. At that time the Holy One left him, the one who said the evil word about His children, and He left. And the Holy One said to Israel, now the Holy One has to answer, why is there no redemption? He said to him, you have to return to the head of the mikra, the verses that you came and told me that because of these you have to kill Israel. See what is written at the beginning. And you went back to the name of your Lord, and you heard His voice. And only afterwards it is written, for the mercy of the name of your Lord will not be upon you, and will not be upon you. This refers to the verses that were said in the book of Devarim, where Moshe Rabbeinu also speaks about the rest of the days. In Devarim, chapter Dalet.

1:01:33Moshe Rabbeinu says to the people of Israel, you will be born sons and sons of sons, and you will dwell in the land. He says, I know, you will come to the land of Israel, you will enter shegra, to hergel, and you will perish. You will depart from your spiritual path. I will guide you today to heaven and to the land, because you will work and judge quickly from the land where you will go, and you will descend there to reshta. He says to the people of Israel, if you do this, that you will not be according to the leadership of the Holy One, you will not be in the land. v'hefitz Hashem etchem ba'amim v'nish'artem metei mispar bagoim asher yenaheg Hashem etchem shama. So there are two reasons why Hashem will help you. First, Keil rachum Hashem Elokecha, lo yarpecha velo yashchitecha. That is to say, Hashem loves you. If you are children of Hashem Elokeichem, then from now on He will take care of you. And He will not forget the covenant of your fathers. He has a zechut that will depend on your fathers. From now on He will stand in that zechut. So here, in the Zohar, the Holy One says to Michael, after all, it is written before you, and you have returned to Hashem Elokecha. And only after that, Keil rachum Hashem Elokecha. Let it happen, I will make it happen. Michael, the sar of the world, will return to him. You will have mercy on them.

1:03:00And you tell us here, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, that even a step of the people of Israel, which is in the form of a step of mercy, has already opened gates of redemption. Rabbi Eliezer said, "And you tell us here, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, that even a step of the people of Israel, which is in the form of a step of mercy, has already opened gates of redemption to do them the good that will be promised to them, as it is written, 'And therefore the Lord will wait for you.' We see here in the Holy Zohar that not all the people of Israel are perfect and complete, but it is enough for a person to take upon himself and say, 'I am approaching the Creator of the world.' When there is a group, a community, that strengthens in teshuvah, we no longer know exactly where the ma'azan is, which is what determines the end." to do them the good that will be promised to them, as it is written, "And therefore the Lord will wait for you." We see here in the Holy Zohar that not all the people of Israel are perfect and complete, but it is enough for a person to take upon himself and say, "I am approaching the Creator of the world." When there is a group, a community, that strengthens in teshuvah, we no longer know exactly where the ma'azan is, which is what determines the end. In general, the sages of the secret say that it is forbidden for a person, this is what Reb Chaim Volozhin writes in Nefesh HaChayim, in the Sha'ar Dalet, it is forbidden for a person to say, "Who am I and what am I?" Let's assume that I will strengthen, let's assume that I will get closer to God, He will accept me again.

1:04:13The sanctification of the eyes, the preservation of thought, the preservation of Shabbat, prayer, not to expose oneself to a knife, humility, and so on. Let's assume that He will accept me. What will change the image of the people of Israel? Reb Chaim Volozhin says, don't tell the person, "Who am I and what am I?" Because the person in this world, his origin comes from the supreme worlds. He has very, very high spiritual origins in the supreme worlds. Whoever knows the wheel of the wheels, there is such a small wheel. This small wheel rotates, but it rotates another wheel, and so on, until the whole system moves. This is how Hashem gave man power. You may be a small wheel, but when you move, you move powerful spiritual systems that affect all of creation. This is the power that Hashem gave man. Only now will we understand why the war of Gog and Magog is needed in relation to the people of Israel. because even though it is intended to punish the enemies of Israel for all the troubles they have caused us, the people of Israel receive a kind of encouragement, like a blow from the same war, to get closer to G-d. That is why, as we mentioned at the beginning, the prophecy of the Qur'an does not have to be refuted. It could be the war of Gog and Magog without any Jew being hurt. It only depends on their actions. In the book of Zechariah, before he talks about the war of Gog and Magog,

1:05:36He says this, in Yud-Gimmel chapter: "Herev, uri al ro'i v'al gever amiti." Ro'i is my seeker. Gever amiti is the one who is like my true self, similar to me. What does that mean? And if it's your friend, then why is it written here "Herev"? Why do I need "Herev" to come to me? The Malbim says this. He talks about Gog u'Magog and mentions Christianity and Islam here. The Malbim says this. In these days, a sword will be raised on the man who says he is a seeker of God. This is a seeker, the one who says, as if he is my seeker. He wants to say about the prophet of the Ishmaelites and the believers in his religion, that he says that God is his to be a seeker of the world. Who is a true man? It is the leader of the Christians. And about the man who says that he is his true and friend of God and he is worthy of him. So on these two, on Christianity and on Islam, he says that a sword will be cast on them, but the coward is a group of the wicked, and my revenge will be on the sinners. Sinners, he says, are the priests of the religion of Christianity who condemn themselves.

1:06:37And there was in all the land, that is, in all the globe of the land, according to God, every two days they would come, they would get cold, they would get cold, and the third one would give up in it. We are talking about the war of Gog and Magog, that a third of the world would remain. And I brought the third one in the fire. This third one will also pass through the fire. And they will be burned, because He will burn the money, and they will be tested, because He will test the gold. Each person will stand in a test, until he is faithful to God. Gog will stand in a test of seven commandments. A Jew will stand in a test of six hundred and thirteen commandments. until we get to the point, he will call in My name and I will answer him. I said, Ammi hu, and he said, Hashem Elokai. Like a father and son who call to each other, they both trust and rejoice in each other. Next, here comes the day of Hashem, when He will go to Kirbech, and He will say, I have gathered all the people of Jerusalem for war. Here we are talking about the war of Gog and Magog, that the city will be Jerusalem. Then He will say, and Hashem will go out and fight among the people of Jerusalem, as on the day of His battle, on the day of battle. Why do we have to pay the people of Jerusalem for all the troubles they have done? And they will stand on that day on Har HaZeisim, which is in front of Jerusalem, and Har HaZeisim will be split.

1:07:39I'll translate a little bit. And one day He will reveal to Hashem, neither day nor night, and there will be light for the evening. It's written here that for the evening, instead of waiting for more, suddenly there will be light. Again, we'll translate a little bit. If you want, later we'll see in the chapter of Zechariah all the verses. And this will be the plague that will strike Hashem on all the nations that have set foot on Jerusalem. Their flesh will decay while they are standing on their feet, and their eyes will dissolve in their sockets, and their tongues will decompose in their mouths. And on that day, there will be much praise of Hashem among them, and so on. What kind of plague, what kind of description is there? It is written here that the nations, all these people who came against Israel, they died in such a way. Suddenly at night, there will be light, and the next step, his flesh will decay while he is standing on his feet. He will stand, and suddenly he will be dead. And his eyes will dissolve in their sockets, and his tongue will decompose in their mouths. And then he will say, and indeed there will be a plague, so tell the camel and the sheep. That is to say, all the biological material in the environment will be completely destroyed. According to the Tanakhic description, this is a non-conventional explosion. This is the meaning of the words. It will emit a beam of light, but after the beam of light, it will destroy all the biological material around it, because the atom also destroys buildings. This is not the usual atom.

1:08:57What they mentioned here, the atom, is not the usual atom. This is an unconventional explosion, but not the usual atom, but a kind of explosion that destroys all the biological material in the environment. That is, if you see a thousand enemy tanks, one explosion falls in the center, all the tanks are stopped. Why? Because no one will activate them at the same time. This is what was said. on that period. The description here is simply amazing. When you see the time, it was hard to understand how these things were possible. We will now move on to the best stage. This was the Middle Ages, when it was said that it would be a difficult period. And as we mentioned, when you see all the history and look at our period, there was no generation when all the symbols came together. Kibbutz Galuyot, the blessing of the Land of Israel, the expansion of Yerushalayim, All the list of the signs we saw, Babylon is falling, and so on. There was no generation when all the signs appeared except for today. Afterwards, it is written that there will be a world war between Christianity and Islam, which is intended to destroy them. Whether we will suffer or not, it is written that it depends on the actions of Israel, on what spiritual level they will be at that time. There is no father who likes to destroy his child. And then it is also said that there will be a state of complete clarity, not like today, when you see that the righteous is good for him, the wicked is good for him. Then it will be completely clear. The righteous is good for him, the wicked is punished. Because then we wake up to teshuvah in such a situation.

1:10:14Even today, there are reasons why the tzaddik didn't see his good and bad, if it was previous miracles and so on. But then, at that time, it is said that the chamah will come out of its sheath, and it will come to you from the sun of righteousness and the sun of righteousness in its light. The same chamah that will destroy the sins, that will be like ash, as it is written in the verse, is this one, and it will come to you from the sun of righteousness and the sun of righteousness in its light. After that time, it is written that the Messiah will come. We are now moving to the third and final stage, the best and most beautiful times, which is the foundation of all of history. Everything that G-d has given us, thousands of years of work in the world, just to get to that period of time of receiving the reward, the resurrection of the dead. What is actually Mashiach? Is Mashiach an angel? It is written in his commentary, Mashiach is a normal person like all of us, he has a father and a mother, what is special about this man? V'yatza choter mi Geza Yishai, kach katuv b'Yeshayah. Geza, Yishai, David ben Yishai, k'lomar, yeshet haGeza v'yotze choter, yotze anaf. Ha'adam hazeh, huyeh mizar'o shel David haMelech, David ben Yishai. Az hu nasich Yehudi, rak en lo medina, aval mekinnat atsmo hu nasich Yehudi. V'yatza choter mi Geza Yishai. Kotev haRambam, she ha'adam hazeh, yihyeh gadol b'chokhma yoter mi Shlomo haMelech.

1:11:35and close in prophecy to the level of Moses. King Solomon had an IQ that no one has in history. This man will be greater in wisdom than King Solomon and close in prophecy to the level of Moses. Why do they call him Messiah? Because in the people of Israel, how do they anoint kings? They anoint them with the oil of anointing. David was anointed by Shmuel. A prophet needs to come and anoint him to be the king of Israel. But we don't have prophets today. It is written that the Temple is the place of connection between the spiritual worlds and the earthly world. That's why the prayers are always directed towards Jerusalem, the Temple. All the prayers come from this place. As Yaakov said in his dream, this is the gate of heaven. Just as a house has a gate, the spiritual worlds also have a gate. The place of connection between the spiritual worlds and this world is Har HaMoriah, the place of the Temple. When the Temple was destroyed, the channel of prophecy was destroyed. There is no way to bring down a prophecy to the world. Because after the Temple was built, there was only the channel of prophecy to the world. The channel of prophecy was destroyed. There are no more prophets. So who will turn him into a king? Who will continue him to be a king? The same Jew from David's generation. There is one prophet who has not died since then. Who is it? Eliyahu HaNavi.

1:12:56That's why he, Nechemia, is going to fight Eliyahu HaNavi. One of his roles is to come and lead him to the king. When he leads him to the king, and we must remember that it will be after the war of Gog and Magog, when the world will wait for someone who will make a new order in the world. After the Second World War, the UN was established so that there would be no more wars in the world. Is it going to happen? We all know that not exactly. But that's how it was planned. They saw that in a few years, 54 million people—there is a dispute about the exact number, but around 54 million people—were killed in World War II, including 6 million Jews. They said, we will establish the UN. It doesn't work for them. After the last World War, those who remain in the world will come and say, we need someone who will make order in the world. And they see that nothing will come out of it. So who will do it? This man, who is written to be greater in wisdom than Shlomo, and in the Land of Israel there will no longer be a democracy. There will be a king. There will be a king here. This is a man that the Tanach dictates to him that he will be tall in height. A man who will be huge in all the Torah, full of all the wisdom and the sciences, from the top to the bottom.

1:14:10When he begins to speak, the whole world will hear his words and will say, this is the person who deserves to do justice in the world, after Gog and Magog, that we will stop killing each other. Once, it was hard to understand how he filled the land with the knowledge of Hashem. How will everyone know the king, the Mashiach, who will teach them to believe in the Creator of the world, and that the Gentiles will keep seven commandments and the Jews 613? Once, it was hard to understand. Today we know that there is no problem here. As the Zohar says, in the year 600 to the year 1000, that is, 5600 years ago, wisdom was revealed in this world. This is the year of Taf-Reish, 160 years ago. And the Zohar says that because it is similar to the sixth day in the Torah, the world will be stable for the rest of the days. So there will be a lot of technological innovations in this world. In fact, science has taken advantage of it. It is an aeronautical revolution that brought about the prophecies of Kibbutz Galuyot. He sits in one place and the whole world listens to him, the same person. He teaches all of humanity wisdom. And then what happens? The French hear his speech and say, listen, this Jewish king is very wise. I recommend that he becomes my king. A revolution in France, they assign him to be the king of France.

1:15:19the Englishman says, "I don't want my prime minister. I want him, the Jewish king." A political revolution. The Jewish king will become the English king. This is how it is in the United States, this is how it is in Germany, all over the world. A Jewish king rules over the whole world. It is said that at that time, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons, and that they would destroy their weapons. After all, your grandfather and his grandfather, many generations ago, were the first generation. You are cousins. You are close relatives. What do they say? I am an American citizen. I have a husband. He told me to fight. I will fight. And the second thing, he is an Iraqi. But at that time, when there were no more countries, after all, all the wars were broken because of the borders of the countries. When there were no more countries, there were no different governments in the world, there is one king over the whole globe.

1:16:31Is there a reason for them to kill each other? Then it will be a true nation-sharing because there is one king over the whole world. In my opinion, what we see today in Europe, when the invaders fall, one coin for each of Europe, one dragon will cut off all of Europe. The newspapers use the words that Europe will become one state, and every now and then other states join that unity. This is a big part of the process that G-d has prepared the world for after the days. The world is starting to get used to it. Every ball of the earth is one country. The people's brotherhood. There's no reason to kill each other. We're all human beings. These goyim keep seven commandments; these Jews have 613 commandments. In the same period, it is written, "And it was after the days." It is true that there will be a mountain of the Lord at the top of the mountains, and it will be raised above the hills, and all the goyim will flow to it. The whole world will go up to Jerusalem because from Zion will come forth the Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. The third Beit HaMikdash that will be built, it is written that the Beit HaMikdash will descend from above. And he will be buried in the same place where the mosque they built is today. There is an amazing prophecy from 2,000 years ago. In the book of Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Eliezer the Great lived 2,000 years ago.

1:17:42And he writes 15 things, the future of the children of Ishmael to do in the land after the days. Do you want to check if you are after the days? Check if these 15 things will continue. It seems only part of the list. He writes, they will build a building in the desert. What does it mean, they will build a building in the desert? The place of the Temple will be their building, of the Muslims. Who would have known that before 2,200 years? They will build a building in the desert. He continues, they will build the ruins of the ruins. The Land of Israel will be destroyed. They who built it. Check in Israel how many houses were built by the Arabs. Even our houses. A Jew does not want to work in building. The Arab comes and works. They built houses. And they made roads. And they built gardens and pavilions. And they divided parts of the walls of the Temple. Anyone who remembers that on the Temple Mount, it was hard to understand. But when Rav HaKotel went there to pray, in the end, they buried it in concrete. You can really see how these things have changed. And they will turn the graves into a tombstone. Anyone who will see Har HaZeitim today, what they are doing there, in Har HaZeitim, how they destroy the tombs and destroy it with their stone. You can't imagine how things have changed in 2,000 years. But...

1:18:57At that time, when the Temple came down from the top and settled in its original location. Now, the Muslim Waqf is trying to destroy every trace, they are trying to destroy archaeological finds that are there on the Temple Mount, so that there is no evidence that the Temple was in that place. Of course, it wouldn't help them. There are testimonies from all over the world. They found a lot of testimonies. But, when the Temple falls, they won't have anything to talk about. The Temple will be destroyed. The Ramchal writes that the Temple will fall, and we will come there to finish it. We will also have to build the Temple, but we will finish it. I thought to myself, as you can see today, there are caravans coming, the caravan is falling, then we have to come and do the completions there, to connect a fence and all that. This is what the Ramchal writes, that the Temple will descend from above, and we will have to do its completions, its finishes. At that time, there will be the resurrection of the dead. What before what? Rambam says, we don't know the order, what before what? When it happens, we will know what before what. But there will be the resurrection of the dead at that time. Once it was hard to understand how a person who died would get up to live.

1:20:09After all, it is written in Daniel, not all of them, many. Even those who will live, it is written that they will die for a short time, in order to purify from the sin of the first man, from the sin of the former man, and again they will rise to life. It was hard to understand once. Today there is the genetic deviation; they take a cell, they create a whole body, which is a cell of the same creature, if it is a cell, or a person, from which they took the cell, because there is the genetic code. Today we are talking about the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep, the Egyptian Pharaoh. They want to take his stone and rebuild it. Because if there is DNA there, it is possible to build his body. The sages say that those who find it hard to believe how a dead body will come to life, it will be like the grain that was accumulated on the ground and will be reborn. The accumulated grain. Those who do not know that it is the future to grow will not believe that it is the future to grow. And the harvest of the dead is, in a way, smaller than the harvest of the grain that grows. Because in the harvest of the dead, you buried one, how much does it come out of the grave? One. In the grain, you sow one, how much does it come out of there? Tens. It's not a bigger harvest. We just got used to it, and we didn't get used to it. And it is said, "I am the Lord in the opening of your graves." Even if there are tons of concrete, it doesn't matter. "I am the Lord in the opening of your graves. And you will live, and you will know, because I am the Lord."

1:21:33Once, in one of the lectures, two women asked a question together. One of them asked me, if there will be the resurrection of the dead, where will there be space for everyone? The second one asked, why do we need such tall buildings that will be built in Jerusalem? I told them the same answers. The second one asked, why do we need such tall buildings? When there will be space for everyone who will stand in the resurrection of the dead. In the daily prayers alone, they say that tens of thousands of people could enter at the same time. And the description in Chazal about the future of Jerusalem, which covers three parts, is much higher even than the scriptures—that there will be places for all the people who will rise at that time. At the same time, the spiritual soul returns to the body, but not like today. Today, when the soul is in the body, you can't see it next to anyone. Even if an outsider has a long beard, it could be that for Hashem, he has a big beard; everything will fall off. There's a person who has a beard and he's righteous. And there's a person who doesn't have a beard and he's righteous. Existence can't really teach you who the person really is. It's written, "The person will see with his eyes, and Hashem will see with his heart." Hashem knows who the person really is. Because today, the soul is hidden inside the body. The Ramchal says, every soul that is in the body is like a waste material, when the body is the device that shapes the soul.

1:22:47You have an experience. I'll make a prayer in the morning, or I'll run to work. I'll pray, I'll bless what I eat. I'll respect my parents, I'll respect my wife, or I'll pamper her. But do you know what the will of Hashem is in all these matters? I'm running away, running away with a car, or with a knife. Do you know what the will of Hashem is? The person is struggling. He came to watch a movie, but he's in a hurry. And don't you dare follow your heart and your eyes, and after the life that you're living. You're not allowed to close your eyes, your mind. This is how, when a person stands in these trials, the body stabilizes the soul. It turns it into a place of worship for the divine light. Like a flower bud that is growing and developing. A flower bud, when you see the closed flower, it looks like a golem. But inside it, how many processes it goes through, how many changes. Suddenly it opens, and you see how beautiful it is. What colors, what smells. But when he was a child, he didn't see all that. When the soul is inside the body, we don't see who it is. You can feel it a little bit on the face. It's written that the face shows what's inside. Sometimes you see a person who has a sense of responsibility, a person who has a sense of love. The Holy One, when He saw a person, He saw all the letters that are thrown through the soul in his life. And He knows exactly what He did to the person. We don't have people who see such a scale. But for Him, it was like a mirror, that He really looks at the person.

1:24:07Ma'arachu says, once I came before my Rabbi, the Holy Ari, and he told me that this week you didn't honor your father like you do every week. I said to him, that's right, I would have fallen and I wouldn't have honored my father. But how does the Rabbi know? He said to me, the soul is blowing through the matzah in letters, Hebrew letters. And with you, I see that the letters of Aleph, Bet are a little dark, and the letters of Gimel are upside down. So I see that you didn't complete with the Av. Gimel is Gomel, Alef, Bet is Av. I see that you didn't complete with the Av. This is the Arizal. He also knows how to read and how to interpret. You can't just see. You also need to know how to interpret things. Today, there's almost no one who sees things like that. When the Mashiach comes, and the soul returns to the body, not like now, which is blocked and controlled by the body, but it blooms in its light. That's the language of the Ramchal. It returns as it blooms. When it's inside the body today, it's like a cloud; you don't see anything. The soul comes out, blooms in its light, because it doesn't have a body that blocks it. During life, it returns to the body as it blooms. And then you see on every person at what spiritual level they are. You see that this one is very high, this one is less. Everyone depends on how he worked on himself today, how much he improved in terms of Torah, mitzvot, and good deeds.

1:25:20In the days of the Messiah, he could develop his spirituality in accordance with the tool he created, in accordance with the level of the soul. That is, today he is building the level of the soul, and that is how he will live in the days of the Messiah. Because then the supreme Garden of Eden will be in harmony with this world. This world will become like the time of the first man before the sin. There will be no more wars. There, it is said that even the owners of lives, and that the child will play something, because he wants to read verses. Or to do something. You take the child to the pit of the snake, an earthly snake, put him there, and say to him, "Put your hand in, take it out, play with him." The snake plays with him. And the snake will not bite. Why? "They will not harm nor destroy in all My holy mountain." Because the land will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Even the living beings will stop harming. Because the world will transition, during the time of receiving the reward, to the purpose of hearing the Holy One, blessed be He, in all His glory. We need to emphasize that even in these days, when we see difficulties, if we test and examine the people of Israel for decades since the establishment of the state, how many miracles Hashem does with us, how many miracles, how many attempts, if it's the Six-Day War. After that, the earthquake, in general, there is no time now to explain everything, but if we start according to order, with the War of Independence, and then the Six-Day War, which was in general a terrible disaster.

1:26:54And then, if we get to the War of Mifrat, 39 SCUDs were launched at Israel. One person died, and they also said it was for another reason, not directly from the SCUD. Only one SCUD, the Iraqis sent to the American army in Saudi Arabia, resulted in close to 300 dead. Who saw the SCUD this time? What was its length? They didn't cut it. What kind of raids were there? Buildings collapsed. There was a man in Tel Aviv who entered the house's services. He lived on the sixth floor. He entered the services. He heard a bang. He opened the door and saw the road down. Six floors were destroyed. Only the services remained in the building next to it. They brought a truck to get him out of there. Who saw the pictures? A man inside the rubble. Only his head was outside. He screamed that they should get him out. A guard destroyed his house. And he, with his head outside the rubble. They came in front of him. He didn’t have a knife. A mouth full of wounds. 1952. 1952 begins a war against Syria, and Israel wins. At the same time, a military coup in Egypt, and Gamal Abdel Nasser takes over. October 29, 1956, the Battle of Kadesh. An army that only four years ago completed its first final battle. The Battle of Kadesh. What a power. The Egyptian Empire against Israel. A war of exactly six days.

1:28:201952. 1952 begins a war against Syria, and Israel wins. At the same time, there is a military coup in Egypt, and Gamal Abdel Nasser takes over. October 29, 1956, the Battle of Kadesh. An army that only four years ago completed its first final battle. The Battle of Kadesh. What a power. The Egyptian Empire against Israel. A war of exactly six days. And how many Israelis fell in the Egyptian seven? Only five? How many were killed? One thousand? And two were killed? A friend of mine visited Egypt. He sat in a cafe. The owner of the cafe wanted to make the young Israeli happy, who was sitting and drinking a cup of coffee, and said to him, "I want to tell you a story. I fought against you in a holy operation in a holy desert. I fought against you." And how many Israelis fell in the Egyptian Sinai? Only five? How many were killed? One thousand? And two were killed? A friend of mine visited Egypt. He sat in a café. The owner of the café wanted to make the young Israeli happy, who was sitting and drinking a cup of coffee, and said to him, "I want to tell you a story. I fought against you in a holy operation in a holy desert. I fought against you." My crew and I complained about you, the Israelis. You were few and we were many. But suddenly there was a storm and wind. And dust fell from the sky, and we all fell, dead victims. I survived. I remained the only one in the crew. How can that be?

1:29:32Aluf Mishne Uri Ben Ari, Mefaked Khativa 7, writes in his book, Nua Nua Sof, almost without orders. Within three days, we reached 15 kilometers from the canal, the Egyptians left shoes and fled. The war of the Six Days. The entire Arab world is against us. In the caricatures of the eight Arab armies, they are fighting a war. The military arbitration is leading to the destruction of paratroopers in Sharon and to the extradition of 50,000 men to the IDF. And the State of Israel is in great fear. Nasser and all Arab countries are in turmoil. There is no chance that something will remain from Israel. A caricature of Israelis at sea, that only remains to jump into the sea, and eight tanks from eight Arab armies. This is how it appears in the white newspaper Al-Jarida. What will remain of you, Israel? There is no chance. The Arab countries cry and cry for the war to destroy Israel. And the world stands against Moshiach.

1:30:35On June 5, 1967, Israel, separated from all its past, the war began. Egyptian, Jordanian front, including Iraq, Saudi Arabia, fighting with Morocco, Libya, and the Palestinian terrorist organizations. Syrian front, Lebanese front. 7:46, air force planes attack the airport in Sinai and Egypt, and within two hours, 450 enemy planes are destroyed. The war of Yom HaDin. The war of Yom Kippur. And this time, not eight weeks. All in all, Egypt and Syria. Until Golda Meir decides to declare or not to declare, our efforts are very difficult. A strong blow. And thank God, despite everything, a victory. The Syrian front is in a turn for our sake. The depth of the battle. Avigdor Kahalani. The strength of Tzvika. The Syrians advanced to the front lines of Ramat HaGolan, the Bridge of the Sons of Yaakov. and they were stopped. What is the reason that they were stopped? What is the reason that they did not advance internally? In the Syrian bitanim, we found civilian clothes. The Syrians promised that they would enter, chas v'shalom, and take our girls. The Syrian commanders told them, "Take with you civilian clothes, enter Yafo, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Teveria,"

1:31:50but nes, they were stopped on the line of fire at the Golan. Avigdor Kahalani says, I am alone with three tanks. I stopped 150 tanks of the Syrians. The war of Yom HaDin. At a time when man is united with his Creator. At a time when G-d said to His sons, "My dear sons, I want to cleanse you." At a time when they stood in the synagogues and in the batei midrashot, at the time of Mussaf of Mincha, at the time of the avodah of the kohanim, because they don't think of you, they think of Me. They thought that they would attack Israel only on Yom Kippur, the Egyptians, and there would be victory, but the complete opposite. but the question remains until today, how can it be that the Syrians were stopped on the line of fire at the Golan Heights? The answer is written by an officer who investigates the commander of the 9th division of the Syrian army at the Golan Heights. He asked the commander of the division, "Why were you stopped on the line of fire at the Golan Heights?" Commander, I want to see you.

1:33:05you see a whole line of white angels standing on the line and a white hand from the sky that signals to you, "Stop, I have been stopped." Israeli soldiers who saw the Syrians standing in a line, one tank destroying a whole line of Syrian tanks, did not know the answer, even in the Six-Day War. that one of the commanders of the Israeli army went to the Pentagon in the United States and asked for the battles to be fought within two hours. How is it possible that within 48 hours the Temple Mount is in our hands? He asked the Israeli army from the American Pentagon to fight for six days. The war, which may be called the War of the Prisoners,

1:34:07When they shoot thousands of bullets, bullets, bullets, and so on, they fall on all sorts of places. And not that they don't get hurt. They get hurt in houses. And they hear gunshots. How many witnesses do people have of gunshots? An entire neighborhood. They hear an explosion, they all go out. Just tell me about a person who called us. He says the only house that was hit was the only house where no one was there at the same time. The whole neighborhood was full of people. Because really, the leadership of G-d is with us in the sense that every single one of us is a target. We are more anxious, we are more shocked, and we are more alarmed by the sounds of gunfire than by real bullets. Sometimes there is also a bullet that hits in order to show a person what a bullet can do. But if we were to shoot, let's all think for a moment, what would happen if a similar number of bullets hit not Israel, but France? For us, a country close to France is bombing a city in order to harm it. Not like Israel, which separates the people from above. All the residents were taken from their homes, and we are standing to bomb. The goal is to harm. We would hear about thousands of dead. Only those who sent messages to homes, more than 5,000 homes that were damaged, sent messages this week. More than 5,000 homes. How many fell in open areas, children's playgrounds, and so on.

1:35:28It's not human. How many trials does G-d do with us? Because His way with us, every one of us has to face. Before He comes to the one who went with Him from behind, which is a curse, first of all, every one of us has to face. All of us. This is His way with G-d. As the Gemara says, why were we born blind? To spread the anointing in the heart. This is what the Gemara says with the blessing screen. Why did G-d create wings? Because sometimes a person jumps into the corner of his life and begins to feel that he is the Lord of the Universe. Who told him what to do and what not to do? He sits at home with a cup of coffee, suddenly wings, explosion, he hears a boom, he jumps for a moment, the fear of the second, this fear, is intended for the phlegm in the heart, this phlegm. of, I am the Lord of the world, it means to put a person in a situation of a kind of lack of knowledge. So, being arrogant is a small thing. Sometimes there is a bullet that falls in the neighborhood. This hour, in general, causes a person to tremble with lack of knowledge. The Holy One, blessed be He, does not expect us to be arrogant. He expects us to approach Him in good ways. And when a person is arrogant, in particular, it is true for all of history, but when we examine our period, we see that this period is so special,

1:36:44how things really go step by step and progress according to the progression of these prophecies, from which a person implements for himself the Holy Torah, goes to Torah lessons, tries to enrich himself with ideas, tries more to keep up, not to speak lashon hara, not to speak in a degrading manner. The unity of the people of Israel, the love of the people of Israel, is one of the most important things for the Holy One, blessed be He. When a person looks at things like this, he doesn't go to the toilet with the neighbor. So let's assume that the neighbor is not okay. Let's assume that the neighbor has exactly taken the wrong path. But the person thinks to himself, what does Hashem want from me? What will the Shechinah do to me? That's what leads him in life. What will the Shechinah do to me? Less shibud, less shibud, more mutual respect. Children's education. A person takes care of his soul. How to educate the children? Where do they learn? We are still in freedom; there is still time. Transfer them to places of Torah, not to get to a situation as it is written, "How can I go to my father and the child is not with me?" A person comes to his Father in Heaven, and the Holy One asks him, "Why do you have a Shabbat prayer time? Why does he go to the prayer room? Why did you send him to school when the bus is going in a certain direction? You should send him to school when the bus is going in My direction, not the opposite direction, so that society and all the rest will influence him."

1:38:00What does a person do at that time? Apart from what we see today, that unfortunately, children reach the age of adolescence. I was told that at the age of 12, 14, children return home at 2 or 3 in the morning, and no one tells them what to do. No one can even open their mouth. When do we have to think about it? When the children are young. When the children are young, they step in the hand of a hero. Like the arrow in the hand of the hero, he decides where to aim. After he shoots, he can't take it back. That's it, it's already on the way. So every time the child is in the hands of the parents, they have to think. Where do I send the child? Where do they learn? If I taught them one way and they chose another way, I sent them to a Torah school, who learned Torah, mitzvot, and good deeds, and they chose a different path, well, it's their own choice, as they say. But if a person intends not to be a bad person, God forbid, the temptation is great. So each one will take for himself, will adopt, especially in these days, that as I mentioned, every person needs to remember, I'm like a small wheel, although small, I can activate the whole system. Every rise, every strengthening. A woman who gets her independence, whether it's a headscarf, whether it's a different outfit,

1:39:04A man who says, from today, day to day, I give prayers, stops wearing a hat, takes care of Shabbat, closes his eyes. A Torah lesson is the basis for everything. When there is a Torah lesson, it is the basis for everything. We have no idea how each one of us can change the situation of the whole of Israel. The greats of Israel in those times did not give sleep to their eyes. There was a wise student in Yeshivat Chevron, in times of war, in the War of Liberation, who would struggle to sleep, and immediately get up and go to learn Torah. Once he went to sleep and said to someone, "Wake me up in another hour." He fell asleep; for 24 hours he didn't sleep, only an hour. They let him sleep for a few hours. When he woke him up, he looked at the clock and shouted at him. He said to him, "Who knows how many people will be killed because of me, because I didn't deal with the Torah in these hours?" He said, "They will fight, can I go to sleep?" Rabbi Gustman, Zekher Tzaddik Livracha, said to his students in the yeshiva, when there was a war in Israel, he said to them, "In these days, when you go to sleep, don't take off your shoes. Pity for the time. Sleep with your shoes on, as much as you need, get up immediately, take off your shoes, and go to the Beit Midrash to deal with the Torah. Because it's a time when the people of Israel need to reap the rewards. Those on the road, and those on the roads, and we, in the name of Hashem, our Lord."

1:40:12We will remember. We hope for all of us that we will really be able to rise and strengthen. And we hope for all those who are here, that Hashem will keep them and their children wherever they are, with all the soldiers of Israel and the entire Jewish people. Amen ve'Amen.
