Torah Proofs Codes of Megilat Esther

0:03second thing we learned from the Torah is that the Torah is not a storybook. The Torah has different codes in it. Many people have trouble accepting the Torah because, number one, they've never really read it, and number two, because they have trouble understanding how a document from 3,334 years ago can be scientifically proven. uh, be scientifically proven? How could it be scientifically proven? How could you see that this document is not some man-made document? Now, everyone has heard about Megillat Esther, which is what we just read on Purim. Now, Megillat Esther was not part of the Five Books of Moses; it's part of the Tanach. Megillat Esther was not something that God dictated, but rather something that Mordechai and Esther actually wrote through Ruach HaKodesh, divine inspiration. Yet, our holy Five Books of Moses, the holy Torah, have information about Megillat Esther, which would not be in existence for at least a thousand years after.

1:08the Five Books of Moses are given, and it has it in it. The Gemara in Masechet Megillah, Tractate Megillah, says: Where is the Megillah in the Torah? Meaning, since we know that everything is in the Torah, where is the Megillah in the Torah? Where do you see, for example, where do you see Mordechai? Where do you see Mordechai? Do you see Mordechai in the Torah? No, you see Moshe, you see Avraham, you see Yitzchak, you see Yaakov, you see all of these other characters. So if the Torah is divine, meaning that it has everything in it, then show me where Mordechai is. And the Gemara says... more drosh, what's more drosh in our weekly parasha, which is the parasha that we read on the same week that we celebrate Purim, meaning the same week that we read the Megillah annually. This is the parasha that we read, Parashat Tetzaveh. In that parasha, there is a verse in chapter 30 verse number 23, it says, "Now you take for yourself choice spices."

2:29500 shekel weights of pure myrrh, fragrant cinnamon—half of which shall be 250—and 250 of fragrant cane. So the Gemara says this verse is a code where you will find Mordechai. Mordechai is mentioned in the Megillah. What's the code? Mordor, which in English translates to pure myrrh. Since this pure myrrh is Mordechai. Now, of course, a black Hebrew Israelite Christian missionary or any other, you know, non-Torah scholar looks at this and says, "Ah, come on, this is crazy. You guys are insane. Where is Mordechai? Mordor, what? Just because it starts with the same letter, that's Mordechai? Same two letters, that's Mordechai?" No, that's because you're ignorant. Let's explain. You see, the Torah, as it says to us... was written 974 generations before Hashem created the world, meaning everything you have in the Five Books of Moses was already written before it came into existence. So then you would ask, well, how could it be that He wrote the Torah

3:47in essence, everything that's in it—the stories, Mount Sinai, the Golden Calf, Korach who went against Moshe, Avraham, everything—and yet we still have free choice. That's because the Torah was written in such a format, as we discussed last week, where it was without any vowels, without any spaces, meaning it was... three hundred and four thousand, eight hundred and five letters, all connected as if it is a single word, meaning it's indiscernible. You cannot read it; you can't understand what it says. And then, at Mount Sinai, God told Moshe where to separate the words from the beginning of the Torah until the section of Yitro, which is the portion where it talks about Mount Sinai and receiving the Torah. And then, over the next 40 years we were in the desert, God tells... uh uh Moshe where to separate the rest of what's left of the five books of Moses in order to make up the words, meaning that Hashem could have actually told Moshe to separate the words in any which way that He wanted in order to decipher whatever He wanted, but

4:55in the same exact letters is everything that ever happened, everything that was happening at the time, and everything that will ever happen in the future, including today. So that's why the Talmud comes with the audacity and says: "If everything is in the Five Books of Moses, show me Mordechai. I want to see Mordechai." And the Torah responds: Mordechai is mor dror. So now we're confused, or at least the people that are ignorant are confused. How could mor dror (pure myrrh) be Mordechai? That's because it's not referring to mor dror itself being Mordechai, but rather the code that it is symbolic of, of where it leads to. Meaning, the word mor dror starts with the letter mem. Then there's something called Torah codes. Torah codes are... Codes within the Torah, where you skip an equal mathematical interval of letters,

5:57between each letter in order to make up words, meaning if you want to make up a specific word, for example, you want to find the word "Holocaust" in the Torah, you have to find it in a way where you would find, if I'm doing it in English—obviously, the Torah is in Hebrew—but if I'm doing it in English, you would have to find it in an equal mathematical skip between the letters. So the H... would be the first letter. You could start that wherever, but then it would have to be whatever skip you have, let's say it's, you know, 10 letters. So then you would have to find an 'O'. Okay, now between the 'O' and the next 'L' also has to be the same number of letters, so it would have to be another 10. then again, I have to get another 'O', so it has to be another 10. It can't be 10, 17, 37, because that's not an equal mathematical step. You can pretty much make up anything that you want. So, we have to see that this is there with a specific number of letters between them in order to show that this is by design. And there is no greater design that I know of than this particular code that's in it. Why?

7:04Because unlike many of the Torah codes that you would find, that have a small mathematical skip of seven letters, 10 letters, 50 letters. This one has a huge skip — 12,196 letters. Meaning, if you want to find the word Mordechai, the name Mordechai in the Torah, you start at this verse in our weekly parashah where it says "modro." From the mem, you count 12,196 letters letters, and you arrive at the vav. Then you count another 12,196 letters, and you arrive at the dalet. Then you count another 12,196. And then again, 12,196. Now, the average person, again, looking at this, might think, "Yeah, 12,000, 15,000, you're just going to make up any number, and surely you're going to find something even in a Harry Potter book." No, you're not understanding. 12,196 is a unique number. What's so unique about 12,196?

8:16what's unique about it is that 12,196 is the precise number of letters in Megillat Esther that was written over a thousand years after this Torah was given to us at Mount Sinai. Here we see a code with a specific number of letters that is by design. no human being could have ever possibly thought of that. Inside a document that has 304,805 letters, you have a word that, in essence, does not exist yet for another thousand-plus years. in it, but not in it. You're not going to find the letters by just randomly finding, you know, the name or something similar. Rather, the name that you would find in the other document, and the document itself, is significant as well. 12,196 letters—it's not a small book; it's 10 chapters. So you see here, this in itself is an extraordinary feat for anyone that is looking for the truth.

9:27Anyone that is yearning for the truth, but of course, anyone that isn't is going to say, "Okay, fine, you know, maybe I can find something else in a different book," and then they're going to look for other things in other books and never find anything. But nonetheless, anyone that has their eyes open sees that this is literally, in itself, enough proof that the Torah is divine, more than anything else, and also proves that the Megillah itself is also divine, obviously by design. the code for Esther, the other main character in Megillat Esther, you could also find with the same number of skips in the Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 31, verse 18. Same exact thing: 12,196 backwards. Same exact thing for Esther as you have for Mordechai. As the man is on the right side, the woman is on the left side, and they meet. So again, seeing how precise the Torah is. and how it was written and given to us, not in a way to just simply tell us stories, but literally tell us everything that will ever be.
