1:06You have to admit that whatever you believed until this point is wrong. The reason why is because if you believe for a second that when you go to work, you're the one that's making the money and it's not Hashem giving you the money, it actually means you've made yourself into a little mini-god. Think that you're making the money, yeah, but I worked, so what? Who gave you the brain? Who gave you the arms? Who gave you the legs? Who gave you the idea? Who gave you the money? Who gave you the speech? Who sent the customer? Who sent the goods? Who had somebody invent the goods for you to buy them? Who says that the molecules inside every one of your cells are supposed to work? What if they don't work today? They want to go to sleep. So, to think that we made our money, we built our house, and we run the world, is actually a mistake. And the reason why is because, in essence, you're removing God from your life. So, the most important thing that a person needs to know is that in Tehillim, David HaMelech was...
2:31The Mashiach is going to come from him, but this was already decided in creation. This was already decided when Hashem created the world. There were certain things that Hashem had decided before He created the world. He wrote the Torah before He created the world—974 generations before creating the world, He used black fire on white fire to write the Sefer Torah. That's why until this day, every Sefer Torah looks exactly the same. You have the black ink on a white scroll, a white background. Why isn't it pink, yellow, blue, or purple? Because that's not the way that Hashem wrote the Torah. The rule is we have to emulate what Hashem did before He created the world. One of the things He decided before He created the world is the name of the Mashiach. Now David the King, who had everything that we could all imagine and beyond our imagination, said in Tehillim (Psalms) chapter 34, "Come, my sons, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of Hashem." Why don't we want to fear Hashem? If you go to most lectures today, and you have most speakers today...
3:55and you have most people that speak about Torah, saying Yirat Shamayim is almost like saying a curse word. No one wants to talk about Yirat Shamayim. Everyone wants to talk about loving Hashem. We want to love Hashem. We don't want to be afraid of Him. The problem is that according to the Chachamim, according to HaTorah HaKedoshah, It's impossible to love something when you don't know what it is.
