Secrets of The Seventh Plague of Egypt

0:10That six, we're already going to get to number seven. This is the most part, it's the most interesting part. So now Moshe comes to Paro and he tells him, listen, Hashem is going to bring, I shall send all of my plagues. That's what Hashem said. What he's saying to him is that the next plague is worse than any, all of them. The next plague is hail. The hail is that Hashem is going to bring to Egypt is ice and fire at the same time. So it's a ball of ice with lava inside of it, which is against nature. In order for this plague to happen, the angel of fire and the angel of water had to make peace, just to do Retzon Hashem, to do Hashem's will. So, Moshe comes to and tells this to Pharaoh,

1:11And it says something very, very interesting. And it says, So, it says here that those people who feared the word of Hashem, even the Egyptians, feared the word of Hashem. They feared that this plague was coming, so they went inside and took their animals inside.

2:11But those who did not take Hashem's word to their heart stayed outside and died. So this actually teaches us something very interesting. It says, the ones that feared Hashem went inside. So it says, so now it's supposed to say the ones that, if I tell you what's fear of Hashem in Hebrew, it is "Yirat Shamayim." What's the opposite of "Yirat Shamayim?" No. No fear, right? So, here he's telling you there's no such thing as no fear. There's no meaning there's no fear of Hashem and no fear of Hashem. What it's saying here is that either you fear Hashem, or it means someone that didn't pay attention. There's no such thing as someone that's not afraid of Hashem.

3:13He's not afraid because he doesn't know Hashem. He's not paying attention to the details. If you don't pay attention to the details, of course, you're not going to fear Hashem because you don't believe in Him. But as soon as you know that Hashem exists, of course, you're going to be scared. So that's one of the things in the pasuk where we learn about the language of Hebrew. What is the opposite of the Yirat Shamayim? Now, this particular plague, as I said, was hail with fire inside it. Now, after Pharaoh begged Moshe to stop it, Hashem stopped the plague, but He stopped the hail in mid-air. There was still hail coming down, but as soon as Moshe prayed, the ice froze in the middle of the air, and Hashem took it back.

4:13Some of it came back. He kept it in outer space. Some of it came at the time of Yehoshua during one of the wars. During one of the wars, Yehoshua prayed for Hashem to help him. So Hashem took some of this hail with fire in it and went against the enemies of Am Yisrael. And the rest of it is waiting until the war of Gog u'Magog. Till the end of the world, till the end of the last war, the war of Gog and Magog, it’s going to be one of the weapons that Hashem is going to use against the wicked. So it's still somewhere in outer space. It's on the way. It's on the way. Let's see. As far as the source that's waiting in the middle of the air, it's in Yechezkel 38:22. Chapter 38, verse 22. That's where the source is. Okay, so now at the end, I want to finalize with two interesting things. At the end, Pharaoh is begging Moshe.

5:33go pray to your God right now and stop this plague. And Moshe says, no, when I leave the city. Once I leave the city, then I'll pray and the plague will stop. But the city is not outside the door. It's going to take him a while to leave the city. Why is he saying when I leave the city? He says, your city is full of idol worship. It's full of Tumah. I can't pray here. You can't pray in a filthy place like here with all this avodah zarah (idol worship).
