The Worst PUNISHMENT in the world

0:06Rashit Chochmah says the seventh level is a level of Gehenom that the one who enters doesn't leave. In the Gemara, Masechet Rosh Hashanah, page 17a, it says that this level of Gehenom, for the wicked who go in there, even after Mashiach comes, even after the world ends, their Gehenom will not end.

1:20it's also they go there, someone like JC Penny, who goes against the rabbanim and is considered a min. A min is someone who regularly leads people away from God. Missionaries and messianics, all these people who lead others away from God and away from the Torah, have a special VIP section for them in that level of Gehinnom, right next to JC Penny, their leader. I And for all of you that take this offensively, good. Good, you should take it offensively. The point is for you to take it offensively. Why? Because when you take away people from God, you are the enemy. You are the enemy, and Hashem Yitbarach wrote something to those people. He wrote something to those people so they should know if you take people away from Him, they should know that. Hashem is not joking. He's not happy with them. As a matter of fact, He wrote them a special pasuk in the book of Isaiah, chapter 48, verse 22: "Ein shalom, amar Hashem, la'resha'im" - "There is no peace, said Hashem, for the wicked." Hashem said, "You are taking away people from Me; no peace for you, no peace. I don't want peace; I'm not interested in peace." It's a pasuk in the book of Isaiah, you can see 48:22, "Ein shalom." He doesn't want shalom.

2:50This answers the question of sometimes you see the resha'im, that sometimes are Jews and sometimes non-Jews, but they live a long life, seventy years, eighty years, a hundred years, whatever it is, but there's a rasha, the guy is a thief, or the guy is a criminal of other kinds, the guy goes against the Torah on a regular basis, and so on, and you see him live a long life. What happened in Parashat Va'etchanan? Last three verses, Hashem says, to the reshaim I pay them cash to their face to destroy them. Meaning that Hashem gives them whatever reward is due to them for the few mitzvot they did in their life, in this life. Why? To make sure that nothing is owed to them after this life, because whatever is left, whatever is left of this life, He's going to give them. But after this, the only thing that's left is destruction. Meaning, they go to this gehenom that doesn't end now. The question is, why does He give them such a long life? Why don't You give them a short life, but just give them a lot of reward in a short period of time, right? Instead of giving the guy a million dollars a year for 80 years, give him a hundred million dollars.

4:06Give him an extra 25. I actually meant 20. I'm sorry, actually 20 million, but only one year, kill the guy at the end. Why not, right? Makes sense—it's a good deal. He enjoys a great year. The Rambam, in Hilchot Teshuva, says that Hashem's anger—again, anger to Hashem is different. It's not that Hashem has feelings, but the Rambam explains it in words that we can understand, just like a metaphor. They use different words in the Torah, like Hashem's arm. Hashem doesn't have an arm. Hashem took us out of Egypt with a strong arm. He doesn't have an arm. But it's in figurative language for us to understand. The Rambam says that some people are so wicked that Hashem decides, that's it, I'm going to give him extra time. Extra time and extra ways for him to sin. Why? To punish him extra. He's such a big enemy that Hashem gives him more time and more opportunities to sin. And the Rambam says this is the worst punishment a person can get in this world. The reason why is because it closes the doors of teshuvah to such a person. He says this person will not be able to do teshuvah. This is the worst punishment in this world. This answers that question of reshaim that live a long life and...
