Bitachon 158 - Israel Will See Her Enemies Fall

you're listening to the 158th edition of the podcast and we're going to continue inim from rund which are quoting from toim and we're in chapter 37:34 there it says hope to hem and keep his way hem will raise you up in order that you should be able to inherit the land simp understanding inherit the land of Israel but it also means the also refers to eternal life you will see that this is true when the wicked ones are cut down so it's basically saying when the evil seem to be succeeding as we've been speaking about in the previous weeks in the previous Pim when the evil seem to be succeeding just hold on hold on I'd like to read to you from the before and after says like this it says in chapter 37 verse 32 the righteous one so the wicked one looks at the righteous one and he tries to kill him wants to kill him Shem will not allow this to happen not he will not allow the Judgment of the the wicked one to come true here's our verse 34 the BK tells us it looks like the the wicked one has power it looks like the wicked one is winning it looks like the righteous are being themselves they're humbling themselves to the wicked don't fall for it what it seems like on the outside is not the true is not the truth it's not the true reality P Hey listen on till the end here because it's really important says King David I've seen a wicked person who is successful who's rich he looks like he's a a upstanding citizen King David says I experienced with my own eyes I've seen this in my life that that person who looks like he's so successful he just disappears the person who is whole who is Simple who go goes with hem without without trying to calculate without trying to understand so much just go simply with God in the end the man of Peace just wait just wait be that person who Waits who's a man of Peace those who are sinners those who are evil they are cut down in the end and the salvation of the righteous comes from God sorry we have some bugs here the the salvation of the righteous comes from Hashem he is the one who they can depend upon in the time of difficulty last BK of the chapter God helps them and he gives them salvation he saves him from the wicked because Hashem sees the righteous have trusted in him in God says the trying to understand to hasem keep his ways he will raise you up you will inherit the land the wicked will be destroyed they'll be cut off you will see hope to and keep his way if you have been lowered if it seems like your enemies are winning if it seems like you are being cut or you're being lowered Hashem will raise you up in order to inherit the land beage and you will see the wicked are cut down even if you see it seems that the wicked are succeeding it seems like they are they're having success don't be fooled can to come upon Russ says King David I've seen many times a wicked person what does it mean he is wicked and he seems to succeed he says that despite that the wicked look like they're winning the wicked look like they're succeeding nevertheless in the end they will pass on they won't continue to exist I'll look for them you won't find them Israel has had many foes 3,300 years we had foes of amalik of the midianites we had the moabi people the Ammon people the Philistines the Romans the Greeks throughout history there have been so many have come as we spoke about in the a they've come to try to cut us down but in the end they disappear and we continue and the opposite of this is what the said later on which we read together keep your Simplicity and make sure that you stick to being straight if you watch the person who's simple or you yourself remain simple connected to God despite everything you're going to see in the end that even know you do get you do have difficulties you do have challenges but in the end it works out that's what the means when it says that the end belongs to the man of Peace in the end the man of Peace the one who maintains his connection to truth to Godliness to what's right that's the one who's the last man standing that's the says like this it says the according to the when you see the greatness of the righteous individual you see the Perfection of the righteous individual and you see how he has Divine assistance attach yourself to him even if by doing so you attach yourself to the righteous you're trying to do what's right and the wicked person one who we spoke about in previous the the one who does all kinds of calculations and puts in all kinds of is puts in efforts and more efforts and more efforts he says what are you doing you're attaching yourself to a you're trying to have quit it put in more efforts hope to hem have strengthen your B H will save you from the hands of the wicked don't be like somebody who wants to immediately get their revenge against the wicked person who's trying to kill him right that's before don't do that maybe or let's say you have somebody is trying to bring you to court to to to knock you down to steal your money Etc to cause you to be found Wicked don't fall for it hope to hasem Hashem is going to take care of me he's going to he's going to bring about the Ultimate N the ultimate Revenge keep hm's way what is hashem's way Hashem is patient doesn't get angry immediately in reward for your waiting in reward for your faith and trusting in hem will raise you up you will take over the land of the wicked you will rejoice when you see that they are cut down the the wicked are they will die an early death or they will be cut down by others not by your own doing they'll have internal strife they'll destroy each other our enemies but you don't have to be the one to do it since he said that you will see King David said you will see the evil ones are cut down so immediately says I saw this many times that a wicked person seems to be successful he's powerful in his own strength in his wickedness but in the end it doesn't work out for him when I was thinking about how did he have such a a meteoric rise to power how did he seem to become so successful so fast by the time I thought about it he's gone because some Godly circumstance occurs and he loses his life in a sudden way so the bottom line is that when it seems like the wicked are succeeding when it seems like those who trust in Hashem are having a hard time don't give up hold on tight wait wait wait don't give up right before the miracle happens says the iits aftering David speaks about the way that Hashem protects there's Divine Providence for the righteous say and the Order of how that goes if you read through the in this chapter it's very K it's very worthwhile it describes how and we saw also together how takes care of the righteous individual it's tremendous Divine Pro Providence he says don't don't um think about and and and overly contemplate what I'm saying and look around and say hey is that really how it is to keep his ways don't look at the way things seem to to flow the way things seem to go don't look at the way the Stars seem to have the astronomical effect or astrological effect on the world or just the there's a it seems to be there's a way of the world that those who do this this result don't look at things in a superficial way let's say you're the kind of person who by your nature it seems like you always have bad luck you're a lowly person let's say a person sees on themselves that they're lowly don't worry because raises up the one who is lowly the tah tells us that an individual who is so to speak lowly who seems to be let's call him unsuccessful or yeah not not the not the luckiest person let's say some raises up that person hasem takes the people who are Hoy and successful and seem to and seem to be seem to have figured it out so to speak he lowers them to Earth even if their natural way is their tea is there it seems that they were born with all the luck sh will lower them to the Earth it means to say that the way that things seem to be naturally created that person has that person is a good-looking person that person has all the luck that person is Rich they were born into a wealthy family Etc all of the good things that seem to be that's not what makes the man it's not what makes the person successful really what really makes the person successful is when when a person becomes Hy and becomes full of themselves they lose the they lose that Divine assistance the more that we have we remember it's all from him the greater is our chance of spiritual success and physical success he brings here on the bottom I'm not going to read it all inside he brings on the bottom that D saw this in his own life there was a person who was alive at his time was an incredibly wise person the T describes him as somebody who was on the what the advice that he would give the the and the we could say his intuition was so on the mark that the Pu says it was akin to asking the a question or asking a na'vi it was just a person but he had an incredible intuition he was very very wise took the side of DAV had a son his son rebelled against him his son was running after him to kill him took the side of Shalom and gave up Shalom advice that he should indeed kill his father D but in the end King David didn't kill a ended up committing suicide when it came time to go to the Bas medes that's how he finishes off the description when it came time to go to the B they went looking for and he had taken his own life David didn't have to go to any legs to get he didn't have to do anything to to take care of to get person is person Rebels against the king they're liable for death didn't have to do it D saw in his own lifetime that the wicked person even if he's great and he's wise and he has all the ANS ERS in the end the wicked person falls you will see this says King David you will see this that's the iits last Point here from the bear we have two conditions here two points one is hoping right right those are the two things what does that mean means taking all of my intellectual capacity and pointing it right is like a line pointing itav not exactly the same word but pointing it directly at God not do anything with my calculations trying to figure it out trying to do it the way I think it's going to work the second aspect here is keeping God's wake I need to keep hashem's path I need to make sure I'm staying on the the path that Hashem has laid out for me if I want to be righteous all the promises of hem to the righteous there are special promises the righteous have but they're un condition that is that they keep God's covenant right like we say in the prayer in the the the one of the blessings which speaks about it speaks about the righteous want to be like the righteous be like the God is called the one who is trusted and leaned upon by the righteous so if I have these two things number one focusing bringing all my intellect Gathering it in on doing God's Will and making sure I'm keeping his laws and his statutes the path of the righteous I'm trying to stay on the path of the righteous so I get two Returns on my investment first is Will Raise Me Up to inherit the land she will raise you up higher than the intellect and above nature right if I take my intellect and I completely directed towards godliness greatness Supernatural way of being which is what the Torah expects of us wants of us we can do it so I am raised up above nature no one else can inherit what what's mine no one else is using natural means can get what I'm going to get they can't take what's mine now because I've risen above them everything is in's hands alone because I where I place myself in hm's hands alone and the second return of my investment in if I keep his ways I will be able to see myself right say it's a merit to be able to see the downfall of the wicked we go through life we read the news we see what's going on around us it seems like those who are wicked those who are evil they seem to succeed they seem to be given a hand they seem to be surrendered to they seem to win but when we see the truth which is what we spoke about at the beginning and we're going to speak about it here in the end is that in the end when we see the truth that in the end those who remain faithful to truth they are raised up they are the ones who win so to speak it's a tremendous a tremendous Merit to be able to see the downfall of the rashim of the wicked to be able to see that we're waiting for that moment when all of those who have been done what's wrong who have done what's wrong who have caused other is to fall we can look around we could see it I don't need to give you any examples but when we when we do what's right when we apply ourselves to the path of the righteous to to try to stay on that path we focus all of our intellect all of our emotions all of our being to doing hm's will to hoping to hem having to doing God's will to keeping the to learning the T Etc when we do that in the end we will see the downfall of the r of the wicked may it be speedily and in our days thank you so much for listening see you again next time
