Bitachon 184 - When Israel Prospers All Prosper

you're listening to the 184th edition of the podcast and we are continuing inim we're in chapter S ofes P Zion 69 verse 7 says the famous let let those who hope to you not be embarrassed in me says King David very interesting PK as we try to understand that we'll see what's going on uses three different names of hem hasem God in the middle name is written y so it's a dual aspect is Lord of hosts let there not be a CLA CLA seems to be different than bua we're talking about not being being embarrassed and we're talking about not being being n those who seek you Isel the god of Israel okay so we have four different names in this P of hasem and D is speaking about himself as a representative of those who hope to Hashem and he's saying please AEM since there are many who put their trust in me they're looking at me to see what's gonna happen to to King David what's gonna happen to D is his gonna work is it going to work out well for him D the classic example of somebody who had a very challenging life he was a great king he had great wealth he was leader of the people of Israel he wrote to helm wrote the Psalms he's all over sa Shmo book of Samuel a tough life chased after by Sha chased after by his son abshalom different generals of his were on his side were against him threatening to split up the kingdom all of the challenges that he went through in his life we look to him and we say well what about the challenges in my life if Hashem can come through for King David for D so hasem can come through for me let's see some of thefor inside but I just want to point out before we do see something inside there's an aspect that has to do with k with hoping to hasem we talk about it in the the that hasem is the one who is trusted those who have those who have faith in God what what does it say we won't be embarrassed forever for we have trusted in you when we trust in hem or anybody for that matter and the and the trust that we have doesn't seem to produce fruits doesn't seem to work out so it's a it's an embarrassment it feels embarrassing sh I trusted in you I didn't deserve it maybe I know I don't deserve it but I trusted in you anyway let me not be embarrassed let me not be let not not we'll see the difference between these two things if heaven forbid you don't answer me there'll be a great disappointment not only on my part but also on the part of all those who seek [Music] you D is is begging Hashem answer me not just for myself but also for all those who look to me and see I'm a righteous individual I'm a I'm someone who follows God answer me so that I can be representative of what happens when somebody trusts in Hashem someone truly believes in God has real answer me so I can tell over the story to others and they can be reassured that when they trust in Hashem Theus are answered the prayers are answered says the Mal the says right before I admit there's no pretenses here I know exactly what's going on and I know that you know what's going on asem I know that you know the mistakes that I've made I know that you know the wrongdoings that I've done but still even though you know that still my you need to save me that so that those who hope to you won't be embarrassed points out the malum there's two things here there's buha embarrassment and kma embarrassment what's the difference means that I'm embarrassed inside of myself I feel I feel a sense of Shame inside of myself for what I've done but there's another thing which is called clo which means that I feel embarrassed in front of others maybe it's because I was caught doing something wrong or maybe it's because someone insulted me and hurt my feelings but either way those are the two types of embarrassment and there's hope in one's heart the a person's hope is inside it's inside of myself I hope and I wish and I'm depending on you Hashem now if that doesn't work out if my hope is not fulfilled so it's between me and God the embarrassment is mine it's a personal embarrassment it's inside of my own heart hasem didn't ask me I wasn't worthy or didn't my prayers is worth answering and there's K means I'm hoping to God inside of myself to request or to seek that's an active thing that's someone taking action they're going to find what they're looking for they're they're looking for someone to help them that's something that everyone can see so then there's an embarrassment a public embarrassment a public shame everyone sees what I'm after everyone sees I'm going after a certain thing and when I'm not answered heav forbid so there's an embarrassment in front of others as well it's not just a shame inside of myself that God didn't answer my prayers but there's a shame in regards to others that didn't deem me worthy it's not just inside of myself that's the malum the says time even though it's true that the sins cause the the Sinners to be unworthy nevertheless there's a request on the part of that answer my prayers and care about my prayers because of the Holiness of his [Music] name let people not say look what happens to those who hope to hem nothing happens their hope doesn't get fulfilled so there's a request hasem there's a there's a Kem that you God can make as it were because even though I'm a sinner and I don't deserve it but still I hope to you I still put my faith in you so let me be answered so that there's a Kem that those who hope to you get answered very interesting yeah I might not be worthy yeah it's true but we've undergone so much embarrassment so much pain so many so many tribulations because of our Exile so hasem answer us because of that let that be this let be let that be the Merit that causes us to be answered in our prayers brings on the mer to before says you know my wrong ways you know my sins I can't hide it from you myem I can't deny that my sins have brought me to where I am today we're in Exile and the result of the Exile is or the cause of the Exile is that the Bas English was destroyed you called out to us and you called again and you said it a third time fear Hashem and and we did we got it we got the message we tried so hard to do your will we're still here 2,000 years later we're still committed and trying so hard to do your will nobody except for you knows why it's taken this long for us to have back our bikash and even if we look at all the progress that we've we've seen in the last 75 years 100 years so many Jews in Earth Israel people coming on their way home despite what's going on here but we're still waiting we're still waiting Revelation being raised up in honor With Honor even though we don't understand why indeed you have not brought back our bdash we should be embarrassed we should feel like everything that we've waited for everything that we've we've hoped for we're disappointed we're not going to get it doesn't seem like we're going to get it the biggest proof is that we're still in in Exile that's what the means when it says you know my sins the truth is that you know that my sins cause this you know but no one else knows it's something that Hashem has kept himself as it were Hashem keeps it private it's not something that he makes known to the world which is very interesting what he's saying cuz we do see that the I saw this recently from a particular individual who spoke directly with Arabic speakers to try to understand what's going on there without them realizing he was Jewish and they believe that they've replaced us that because of our sins it sounds similar to the Christian uh theology the Christian doctrine of replacement theology because of the Jewish people's sins we lost our status we lost the status of being Believers the Believers in Hashem but here he's saying that does not reveal our sins it's something that's unknown really it's unknown why have we not gotten back so I don't need to be embarrassed I can still hope I can still hope that's what he says the Merit says the radak once again it's another theme here of Gus of Exile we're so deep in the Exile so deep in the Gus so deeply entrenched G Ed surrounded by so much cushy uh success so much wealth says the Gus is going to be so long it's going to so deep and it's going to seem hopeless and I will add and people are not even going to Hope anymore they'll be so happy where they are to the point where they will say if they would really hope they would be saved it mentions here in the PK as we said four different names of hm one of them is the Lord of hosts it implies when we speak about the Lord of hosts it means the hosts of the heavens the Stars the moon the Sun the heavenly bodies the Heavenly Powers through which God sends his decrees down into the world Isel he's the master of the hosts of the Jewish people we're also called that cem we are the God is called the Lord of hosts the Jewish people are his army right surrounding encamps around the Mish and the mid so he's the one who is the master over us he has his he has his decrees but he also can take us out he decides he's the the master uh Army planner the master chief officer of the army he put us out in Exile and he brings us back he decides when the armies will March back home once again we're going to go back to this theme of the difference between Bush Anda we said before bu is internal Lima is external but here he going to say something else um the initial embarrassment he says the says bu is the initial embarrassment when someone is caught red-handed with the stolen item in his hand and he can still say here have it back it's embarrassing but he can still rectify the issue Kash is but when it gets uh clarified when it becomes clear that a person has lied and there's no way to undo it that's called n the person's face becomes whitened I could say his face goes white when when the when the wicked people say to the like the nations of the world say to the Jewish people you know why you know why your punishment is coming it's because God has left you because of your sins you're not really righteous you the Jewish people are no longer the chosen people heaven forbid so the first one has to do with when we're here and we can fix things right here it's like the GH who just got caught he still has it in his hand he can give it back he can be M he can rectify so as long as we're here in this world we talk we talk about busha bua is something that I can Rectify I'm caught here I can fix it I'm in this world the r say to me you're you're Hashem has left you and I say no I'm going to do chuva hasem will not leave me Hashem will come back I can come back to Hashem but then there's a second aspect which is CLA which we speak about in reference to to the world to come which means there it's a place where you can't change anything anymore whatever is done is done right we only have today we only have this world to do that which needs to be done and to rectify the mistakes we've made but once a person gets to the world to come once a person passes from this world so you got whatever you got and the the embarrassment there is not rectifiable the main request of the righteous is that I want to be able is telling us I want to be able to enjoy experience the shine of hem in the world to come and that's eclipsed when I have something that's embarrassing that I've defied God's will and I can't I can't fix that anymore in that place says please help me escape from my enemies so that I can go in the path of God so that I can be who I need to be so that I can get to that place where I'll experience God's to to learn from hashem's ways I want to go in God's path I want to go in his way that's the and finally here there's a saer and he says like this it sounds like a very idea a person comes to a sadic and he asks the sadic to pray for him speaking let those those who hope to you not be embarrassed in me meaning people would come to them and say pray we know that you're close to God pray on my behalf help me you have strong help me have for me there is such a thing so he says people come to me and ask me to pray for them they they make a mistake think I'm so righteous really they know that where is the Salvation going to come it's not going to come from the sadik because he's a sadic and he prays and he's so close to God they know it's going to come from God that's the ultimate that's the bottom line so since they believe in you Hashem ultimately they believe the Yeshua comes from you Hashem let them not be embarrassed because of me you know the truth you know my mistakes you know my sins let them not be embarrassed in me because they are hoping to [Music] you let them not be another language for embarrassment because they they are seeking you Hashem they just make a little mistake they think that I'm closer to God than they are but look at the fact that they're trusting in you look at the fact that they are seeking you look at the fact that they are hoping to you thanks so much for listening see you again next time
