Parashat Vayishlach - The Most Dangerous War

furthermore we see that yov now is on his journey and uh the first thing that Yakov is uh saying here that he realizes that uh asav asav is is still uh still existing still lives and uh could very well be still his enemy he's the reason why yob left in the first place that yob sent Angels Rashi says real angels as I explained to you last week who are these angels sages teach us that there were some angels that uh mispoke as uh instead of saying that Hashem is going to destroy sodam they said we're going to destroy sodam even though they were representing Hashem still the way they misspoke was a punish they got punished for it and Hashem chopped off their wings and they had to become uh angels that live on this land cannot go back up and they became the Servants of yov and these angels went to asav they were sent by yov to go see asav and scout out whether isav is still the enemy or not and quickly they find out that yes asav is still uh viewing you as an enemy and in fact he's coming here with uh 400 men what's 400 men 400 different battalions asav was a in essence a king of adom and uh had an enormous Army and was bringing the entire Army to go and take revenge against his brother Yakov so we see here that a war is brewing yob is concerned and he says to Hashem Sav me from my brother save me from the hand of asav obviously his brother is asav and then shortly thereafter in a couple of verses later says that yob sends gifts to his to his brother so we see here that when yob is referring to his brother he's referring to him in two different ways when he pleads to hem he says hem please save me from my brother from asav when he speaks to the angels or to The Messengers to go send them gifts he says to them go bring this to my brother the opposite of what he said to Hashem so we developed the that we already had over the years after learning a little more today we see here that this is not a mistake but rather intentional speech where when yov pleads with hem first he says to hem you I've done so much for me you've done so much for me meaning that you've given me the tools to deal with the asav why because asav is AD why is he called ad because he is materialistic he was willing to sell the firstborn rights because he just simply wanted Reds to he wanted Reds to ad so he's called ad ad he's called ad he is uh he's materialistic if he sees a woman doesn't matter if she's married he takes her if he sees somebody owning something and he wants it he doesn't ask he doesn't buy he simply takes it that's what we saw when we met as when he saw that nimod had a certain uh um jacket if you will that uh isav wanted he simply killed Nim because he wanted it when he saw women he simply took the women when he uh saw that uh perhaps these women are not uh finding favor in the eyes of his uh parents so he just married another woman in so many words whatever he wants he just gets it no questions ask so Yu says I know how to deal with when he's I know how to deal with him he's materialistic how do you deal with people that are materialistic you give them material you give them material they like money you give the money and intentionally if you look at the numbers of what he gives them he gives them he gives him 200 200 of different things why 200 because the says someone that's addicted to material they'll never have enough you give him 100 he wants 200 give him 200 he wants 400 he always wants more so says let's just already start off if I give him 100 he's going to want 200 let me just give him 200 already he's materialistic so as I know how to deal with as sub I know how to deal with you give more material the problem is my brother my brother is the problem why my brother's the problem it's say no no tell us is scared of not he's scared of why he says after I calmed them down and I pacified them by giving him some money that's not going to end the war it's just going to start a new one why because now the brother comes out and that's the brother that's an idol worshipper that's the brother that's a heretic that's the brother that's acting like my brother but really is my enemy because he's trying to destroy me spiritually and for that a I need your help for that I need your help why because he may tell me all types of things and he's going to start confusing different people in the family he's going to start telling people that uh God is a man or God need you or all types of heretical things that could destroy the entire house that's the part that even if you are powerful and you're popular and you're strong and you're this and you're that in reality the only way you're going to win the battle against heresy the only way you're going to win the battle against idolatry the only way you're going to build the battle you're going to win the battle against things that are against a is if a helps you because you helped Yourself by learning to and dedicate it and making sure that you pray enough for your kids to do the same that's why is coming to says why because even though you gave me the money to be able to pay you gave me the material to be able to pacify you be able to let's say pacify the uh the Enemy by giving them some land giving them some weapons giving them some water giving them some technology the reality is you're not going to be able to buy their ideology with it they're still going to stay the enemies whether they're the enemies ideologically or they enemies otherwise and that is a war that is the more more dangerous War the war against heresy the war against heresy is the biggest war why because that heresy is already infiltrated well before October 7th in fact what we're seeing in the world today is a result of that war that's been fought against us with barely any defense this is why people both religious and non-religious Jews unfortunately are wasting their time thinking that we can win this war politically you cannot win a political war against a people that cares less about politics for
