foreign you'll notice throughout the entire story of The Exodus is that oh is not treated by Hashem like we would logically expect Hashem to treat him whereby when you see that who mentions an idol worshiper inatoa says the death penalty for such a person that's an idol worshiper against the death penalty a uh whether Jew or Gentile uh and throughout the time 12 different places the same way says that a a Jew that violates Shabbat gets also a death penalty because he's considered as if he is an idol worshiper says that a person would violates Shabbat it's like he's if he's denying the entire creation he's denying that Hassan created the world in six days and um rested on the seventh this is the reason why the uh the sages throughout all of the generations and all the way until this day have always been uh very very adamant about the fact that you need to be clear about the status of a mechadel Shabbat someone that violates Shabbat and obviously knows that he's a Jew knows that Shabbat exists and simply doesn't care doesn't chooses not to keep Shabbat uh such a person that uh let's say a person that drives to synagogue so obviously not only knows he's a Jew he knows there's a synagogue he knows that Shabbat exists but chooses to drive on Shabbat would constantly say that such a person is considered an idol worshiper as we see in the page five a uh we all five B I'm sorry we see in um page 67b how uh talks about how you're not allowed to accept the sacrifice of a uh Idol worshiper or Shabbat because they're both considered as if they're not part of Clarissa they're considers if they deny God and when it comes to uh sakos the same way as we mentioned last night you go to uh in seven different places but one of them is in Chapter 30 the last he says someone that violates Shabbat that's a great Shabbat is considered an idol worshiper but this didn't stop at the rambam same concept and the same concept even in the later uh the most recent rabbis the later sages uh and it didn't matter whether there was Safari or a scan Zee didn't matter if they were zealous openly in in uh people that were uh fiery type of speakers musar speakers or not um as we saw actually recently I learned that uh who was a ish kodesh she was a Javita yourself was one of the delayed I was privileged to get one of his pictures he has a in my uh office here and uh was known to be a person that ran away from a clock ran away from all types of uh disputes and so on didn't get involved in these things and uh but yet he writes in his cephal olezion in uh section 2 Aloha number 45 that if Shabbat says kadish says kadish whether it's on his father or his mother or anybody else doesn't make a difference you're not allowed to say Amen why he's an idol worshiper if an idol worshipers you don't say Amen and the same thing goes in page 171 of olicion he says if let's say this is an issue with people let's say that are balachua and their parents have nazan but yet they like to doosh they like dookie douche for uh for Friday night for Shabbat and their children are listening to this Kiddush says if your father says Kiddush he does not relieve you of your obligation of doing kadush why he's an idol worshiper now should you go fight him and argue with him and say oh you're an idol worshiper no absolutely not that's not what we're saying here but you should know it doesn't absolve you from your responsibility so what should you do in order to eliminate any type of arguing in this embarrassment and so on simply read along with them get yourself your own Sea Doo and read along with him quietly so he doesn't necessarily need to hear you not everybody needs to hear you but you need to hear yourself but nonetheless the point is is uh to know that if someone is a desecrator of Shabbat whether he's your father he's your brother or he's your cousin or whoever he is um he has a different status than the rest of Islam that are keeping Shabbat the rest of Idol worshipers because he's considered an idol worshiper across the board is very very strict about idolatry very very strict about it to such an extent that the first Mitzvah the Yeshua benun was given as soon as they entered Israel is to destroy all of the Asha trees all of the trees that were there that were used for idolatry by the Nations that lived in Israel before us what do these trees do I mean they can't talk they didn't choose to be uh you know uh tools of idolatry who says that it doesn't matter if they chose or didn't choose as soon as something became part of idolatry and must be destroyed and hence the reason why if somebody dies says that that uh nishama has to be destroyed after a very very long uh stretch of suffering and the destruction of that Soul because it's a Divine soul but someone that Dyson has a very serious problem why he was part of idolatry if you will and uh we see across the toradara who is very very adamant about destroying idolatry we talk about destroying idolatry in our prayers every single day at the very least three times a day where you say Allen Elizabeth is the prayer that we do at the end of every of every uh uh and uh one of the main things is that we're going to uh live we're praising Hashem to live at that the day where this idolatry is destroyed uh and it's actually if you if you look at carefully at the words that are used which part of it was written by Yeshua venun and one of the verses was actually by his wife we see actually that in uh there's a real expression of what uh what Hashem considers idolatry and actually the gemara says it's considered that's what it's considered meaning the lowest form of creation it's the creation of the creation so Hashem hates idolatry in so many words so now that we got that point across we would think that oh who was not only an idol worshiper but in essence made himself into an idol should be treated as something that needs to be destroyed needless to say the idol were Supreme kings that followed Paul that's followed Paul whether it was a or even preceded Pole or nebuchaneza that followed him or have or many of the other Idol worshiping Kings you would think Hashem wants to destroy idolatry the first person he should destroy is the idol worshiping Kings but yet we see in this week's that after kadushboo who splits the scene to 12 one for each tribe and after the Twelve Tribes pass and then the Egyptians follow and who collapses the big ocean on top of the Egyptians kills all of them except one as it says in ver in chapter 14 uh verse 26 now 28 they remained not one of them remain not one of them meaning only one person survived who power survived but also by global time and we which we would think is the opposite we think that all the soldiers should live in Polo should die not uh you know but it's the opposite but always the only one that survived and if that wasn't enough we see that technically was treated with a lot of respect throughout the entire event throughout the entire Exodus even though he suffered and you know the frogs went inside his body and did a lot of things and then the animals and he lost his firstborn child and so on but any time that Michelle abeno came to power oh with respect like a kink and with the exception of one time which the uh tells the one time slapped oh when he got frustrated already about all the lies of you know him sayings in a free army sale and he doesn't free them so one time Paul you know who is uh very very big in comparison to power really uh anyone today he was uh ten Amo tall which is uh approximately 15 to 20 feet tall and uh Paul oh is a little one Amma you know two feet tall tiny little Coca-Cola bottle so but he was a wizard and he had a lot of uh witchcraft nonetheless a uh this uh little character got a lot of Cabot from uh why do we get kaboris an idol worshiper he's denying God he made himself into an idol if that's not bad enough why is he and not only that he got left alive why the um oh God so much respect was because he was a king and Kings get a different level of respect even if they're Wicked even if they're Wicked why because Hashem is the one that makes Kings Hashem is the one that decides who's going to be in power because these Kings whether it's Kings of the past or Kings of today a shaman Essence chooses to put them in power and he does his will through them Hashem is the one that decides in essence he takes away their free will many many times and uh in order to run the world that he does but here we see that even if somebody's an idol worshiper enemy of Ottawa enemy of God and so on Hashem still treat him with a certain level of respect because of the position that Hashem is the one that gave it to him now what's more important a king the king but if the king is an idol worshiper is a kosher tadiq that has good middle and so on obviously the tummy has a much bigger Crown than the king could ever get but yet in today's world people treat Torah Scholars much worse than how Hashem treated oh [Music] let me know what you think and make sure to share it because other people need to learn too
