Bitachon 161 - The Wicked Fall, Israel Rises

you're listening to the 161st edition of the podcast and we are in the F in speaking of the righteous helps the righteous and brings about their salvation brings about a Salvation from the wicked we'll see inside we'll see how there's a difference between having let's say a a Yeshua a Salvation from a difficult situation a natural situation versus having a Salvation from someone who has B someone who's Wicked and uses his be his free will to do wicked things okay and it's especially poignant in light of the current events of this week with the downfall of the wicked the death of the president of Iran and his foreign minister Etc amazing salvation from Hashem we need to think about this and we need to appreciate that Hashem is showing us a sign of I would say the IM and downfall of all of the wicked just like ham AR rasia we saw with hamon that there were signs of his imminent downfall even his wife saw it even his wife said if you've started to fall you will certainly fall but with in the downfall of the wicked as we see in the Spas there is a there is a a standing up straight for the righteous that comes along with it he brings the he says something very interesting it's a famous gar it's gar chabas gor says that Rea had a daughter and R's daughter there was a decree upon her he was known he knew it doesn't seem like she knew but he knew that there was decreed upon her that she would die on the day of her on the day of her of her wedding night and Rea was afraid of it didn't stop him for marrying her off and still what happened that night Zak's daughter did not die she took out a hair pin from her hair and she stuck it in the wall and as she stuck it in the wall it killed a snake that had come indeed to kill her had come and it had been decreed upon her that she died based on her musle based on her um uh we could call it astrological sign so what was the reason why she was saved soik asked her what did she do and she said that she had given a meal to a poor man and said look you see giving charity doing kindness for others it saves a person from Death the brings down a very important idea and that is you know for a woman to die on the night of her on the night of her marriage from a snake bite it's a called a it's an unusual death it's you know when somebody dies a natural death they die of old age they die you know in their sleep things like that so it's sad of course it's sad when an old person dies but it's the way of the world right so it doesn't have that same uh fearsomeness I would say or it doesn't have a a a a an indication that something is off now the says that that Saka could have could have served to take away the aspect the fact that she would have an unusual death death by being bitten by a snake is an unusual kind of death Not only was she saved from having an unusual death which would have indicated perhaps something very negative about her or about her family but even from having even from dying at all she was saved right what we're saying is that it could have been said that the fact that she gave sedu she gave charity and that saved her from dying that could have been something which would have saved her from having a a weird death an unusual death but who says that it's going to save her from Death completely maybe it would just change that to the point where she would now Merit to die a normal kind of death like all other people but what we see from the fact that she lived she didn't just die so this indicates the charity doesn't just save the person from a weird death it saves the person from Death completely you can say a similar say in our context the previously had said which we quoted last week that Hashem is the strength of the person and saves them from an oppressive situation a difficult situation a challenging situation so that could indicate that the person is saved from the challenging situation but who says that they're saved completely so the PK tells us in our PK that not only is a person saved from the difficult situation and goes out of the strange weird type of death situation means they are saved completely the FL is to to be taken out of the situation completely out of the situation a this is the indication of God helping them by F so it takes them out first from God helps them and takes them out of the weird situation and then takes the person out of the fact that they could have died they could have died and now they are saved and they are able to live and I'd like to point out he's saying he's bringing us a story from Rab's daughter which was Saka she did Charity here we're talking about we're talking about because of trusting in hem giving charity what do these things have in common they have in their Essence person gives charity it means that they say well I need this money for myself maybe right I need to pay my bills but if a person gives their very their very own money that they worked hard to to earn and now they're going to have to earn more and they give that to so it shows a level of of faith inem everything that I have that everything I need I will have will provide for me what's the next thing in the first is he saves us takes us out of having to die third thing is the third thing is that God Saves us from the wicked right the wicked Iranian president the wicked foreign minister of Iran these people have they have free will and so in a certain way Hashem gives the human being a right to circumvent his will hasem wants good for for cl for the Jewish people wants good for each individual Hashem wants ultimate good but a human being can come with his be with his Free Will and maneuver around God's will as it were hasem wants us to have he wants us to have free will of course ultimately hashm uses even the Free Will of the wicked in order to get us to where he wants to get us to but in the simple understanding of it before we get to the end there's still once in time where we experience negativity from those who are bad so that's the next step saves us from from weird type of deaths has saves us completely from Death andem saves us from the people who are trying to circumvent his will and another level ISM saves us let's say a person has already C in the hands of the wicked let's say the person is already caught in the net in the web why does hem save us why do we have this level of Salvation where does it come from it comes from the fact that we trusted in Hashem that we had we trusted in him alone we didn't believe that anyone else anything else will save us we knew it's only hasem that doesn't mean that I don't have to do isas if I'm on the level of having to do isas doesn't mean I don't have to put an effort but hasem is the one if it's going to come it's going to come because God wants me to succeed through my efforts not because I put in the maximal effort so that's why the P finishes off because they trusted in him the amazing salvation because we trusted in him again the amazing salvation comes because we trusted only in him he brings here from the be aam who says as follows he brings here that first there's an explanation of the previous previous verse that the salvation of the righteous is from hem the righteous individual gets two favors so to speak from God the first is that God himself saves the righteous it's an interesting type of favor you know is always saving us he's always taking care of us he's always we don't even know about the troubles and the problems that we've gone through used to say you know a guy's falling asleep he wakes up in the middle of the night he's tossing and turning he has a bad night's sleep wakes up in the morning he complaints to his wife he had a bad night's sleep but in the in the bad night's sleep there was a little uh blood clot that fell into the wrong spot and that by tossing and turning and pushed it out of the place that could have been damaging to him and he ended up his life was saved he didn't know about the danger and he didn't know that the very annoying thing that occurred to him was actually his salvation the first principle is that saves us takes care of us protects us we don't even know about it all the time this is going on does wonders alone which means that the person who's experienced the the miracle has experienced the Wonder doesn't even know it and that's why we say in we say the Wonders that are with us every single day did you have a that occurred to you today you don't even know about it I didn't even notice it I'm breathing my my heart is beating my blood is Flowing I'm alive that itself is a miracle we don't even appreciate we don't even realize it the second the second of the two kindnesses that God God does with us is that he is our strength in a time of difficulty where we do know that there's something that we're facing off with the challenge that we're facing even when there's a difficult time in the world which it's a little bit hard to deny that that's where we are right now times are difficult in this world right now whether you're in the land of Israel whether you're on a college campus times are challenging Hashem is our strength gives us strength in our hearts we don't if a person is righteous and has right that's what we're going for there's no fear We're Not Afraid says corresponding to this aspect where we see the challenge we see the difficulty and Hashem helps us and strengthens us inside corresponding to that it says God helped them right that means we see he's helping us gives us strengthen our heart by F he gets us out of our sticky situation I the wicked ones are cut down and the righteous are left they come out and they they have a great salvation corresponding to the fact that it looks like the the wicked have power and they're coming against us to try to cause this difficulties and challenges right who is the one that shot or or enabled the shooting of 300 drones and missiles the the the largest single attack in history that was amazingly miraculously defeated how 99% impossible statistically impossible but who was the one who gave the okay for this it was the guy who just got killed in Iran on in the helicopter crash yes God Saves us we're not even aware of the fact that he's saving us do you know how many other and other Wicked people who want to hurt us God just knocks out without even us being aware of it it's also a privilege to be able to know about it right there's two different languages here one is hasem helps us so that's something that's there's a difficult situation that's just a general situation that doesn't have to do with human beings person's in danger wild animals around natural physical danger so there Hashem helps him but Yeshua the word Yeshua means to save saves us from the wicked because the wicked are Bal like we said before someone who has Choice someone who has as a human being who God has given them free will that means that they can in a certain way they're given permission to circumvent God's will so it's a greater that's a greater level of Salvation hasm saves us from them the reason that hem gives us this greater level of Salvation is because we trust in him hasem is showing us I am taking care of you the Americans knock down only 25% of the missiles that they try to knock down in the protective uh in in that evening where we were shaking we were shaking here in Israel we were shaking as they were shooting at us we were nervous we were scared they only knocked down 25% we knocked down 99% Hashem reminds us he is protecting us he is giving us the power he is the one putting the idea of the arrow missile into the minds of the guy I saw him on on uh on TV is a a from guy the guy who designed the arrow defense missiles we are trusting in Him from from from in we are trusting in Him that he will protect us from the wicked that's why Hashem himself saves us and in a deeper way when when the Iranian president gets killed as hasem showing I am doing it the that fog who placed that fog there who placed that mountain there and corresponding to the things that happen in time AEM protects us until we pass through that difficult time and God will do peace he will give us peace and we be we will be able to dwell here with confidence no more fear why we know Hashem has taken care of USM has protected us 1948 1967 inata missiles from Gaza Shem is protecting us sometimes openly blatantly clearly that it's only him sometimes through our efforts but Hashem is always the one behind it all finally we he brings here from the Shar many times Hashem shows the righteous individual that something that there's danger that they need to be careful something's on the way an oppressive situation is coming why so they they'll be afraid so that they will pray they will turn to Hashem ask God to save us saves us we need to have some confidence we need to have some confidence and know that hasem saved us because we have found favor in his eyes when 300 missiles are shot at us and 99% are knocked down we need to know Hashem is that mean it's an indication that hasem is is happy with us who thinks this way sh tells us we're supposed to think this way when we have a Salvation we DAV for's salvation we DED we prayed we learned in the that we should be saved and then we're saved it means Hashem accepted our prayers Hashem accepted our learning since even though there was a challenge oh you said well why do we have to have a bad situation in the first place maybe hasem has upset at us no he gave us this situation so we would dve into him we would trust in him and he would show us through the Salvation that he that he's happy with us it's clear that it's God who has done this all it's the hand of God this is why the verse says that the salvation of the righteous is from God God is the one who is their strength in the time of difficulty once we see once we know that we had a challenging situation once we see that Hashem saved us the righteous individual looks for God's hand appreciates God's hand sings Shir thank you thank you thank you recognizes that it's all first hasem helps them this shows his love for them first is the love just the fact that you see that Hashem is helping you that in itself is an indication of hashem's love and then don't worry once you start to see God is helping you once you start to see that God is taking out your enemies killing the Iranian president killing the guy the the foreign minister who meets with the Kamas leaders once you see that you know think about the story with Hon right Russia he comes in to ask that Mor be hanged on this huge tree that he's built for morai what is what is do he says go out with Mor put him on the horse and say now Mor that's not like the point of Salvation yet right I'm still alive Mor goes back to his Sak afterwards he puts on his sack he's still fasting but it's a symbol it's a Simmon and and H's wife acknowledges it Zer says if you started falling no you will surely fall you will fall you will fall when CLA Isel Rises Claudel Rises when our enemies start to fall it's a sinon it's a sign we can be assured hem loves us he cares about is he's taking care of us not just now he's going to do it all the way until the end until the wicked fall completely we are completely saved why it's in the Merit of me and you it's in the Merit of those who are working with all their hearts to trust in Hashem to believe to know that he is the one who is saving us thank you so much for listening see you again next time
