When HaShem Destroyed The World Parashat Noach

0:03But you know, Hashem loves us and He's going to forgive us. He doesn't want to destroy everything. And they always bring you the source. What's the source? Hashem regretted destroying the world after the mabul (flood). Yeah, what does He regret? Look, it says it over there in the Torah, Parashat Noach. Oh yeah. Let's see. Page 108a says the Torah says in Genesis chapter six, verse six, that Hashem

1:04which can be worded as reconsidered having made man on Earth. When Rav Dimi came to Babylonia from Eretz Yisrael, he said, "What does this mean? The Holy One, blessed be He, said, 'I did well in that I prepared graves for them on Earth,' meaning that I decided that I destroyed all of them; that was good." It was good that I destroyed all of them. But how come it says Vayinachem? So the Gemara explains Vayinachem is not saying that Hashem reconsidered or felt bad. No. The Gemara explains that this Vayinachem Hashem is saying that He was comforted. By the fact that He did it, implying that HaKadosh Baruch Hu found comfort in His decision to destroy mankind. Why? Because that was the law. So how come some people will say, "Yeah, but it could also mean otherwise. He changed, He this." No, no. Initially, when He created the world...

2:34This is in the name of the Maharal. He explains, initially, when HaKadosh Baruch Hu created the world, He created it with judgment alone. He saw that the world would not survive with just judgment, so there was mercy. And there was mercy for a very long time only. And all of this mercy... brought an endless amount of blessings to mankind to the point where they literally enjoyed heaven on earth. Everyone was rich. Everyone was beautiful. Everyone had everything they could possibly imagine. The weather was always perfect. Everything was perfect, and instead of being grateful to Hashem, they said, "What do we need Hashem for?" other than giving us some rain. And even that, we already have enough water in the oceans, in the rivers. They took the gift that Hashem gave them and used it against them. And that's what brought them to many, many sins. The Gemara in Masechet Sanhedrin says the main sin that created this catastrophe was immorality, wasting seed, adultery, rape, pedophilia, homosexuality, and so on.

3:58Hashem destroyed the world, and He was comforted by the fact that now He implemented the judgment again, like He did in the beginning. Meaning now it's a balance. In the beginning, it was initially supposed to be just the judgment. He saw that the world wouldn't exist, so He brought the mercy. The world went on for about 1,500 years just with mercy. Mankind used it, in essence, against God, so God brought back the judgment. And He wasn't regretful of destroying the world, but rather, He was comforted by the fact that He destroyed the world because that brought back the initial decision. This is why, when Moshe Rabbeinu saw the future, and he saw that Rabbi Akiva

4:58was being killed in such a horrible fashion that they were literally peeling off his skin and then chopping him up and then selling his meat in the market. And Moshe Rabbeinu says, "This is Torah, and this is its reward?" Hashem says to Moshe Rabbeinu, "Be quiet. That's how I created the world." Meaning, Initially, the world was created with the attribute of Din, judgment. Din only. This was Hashem's original intention, just to have Din. Please share your thoughts on this.
