Explaining the Hatred Yishmael has for Israel by Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom Alim everybody welcome back I can't say the I midash because we're not in the I midash we're actually in the command center the community Command Center making sitzes for our soldiers who are bravely defending the Jewish nation and I think that we have to start off let me just tell you what we're going to do we're going to deal with the para par and it's in chapter 22 of of Genesis but before we get into it we're going to talk about yes a lot before we get into it I just I think that we should actually be have and it's very difficult to have a tremendous amount of gratitude towards Kesh first of all that we're here 4,000 years later right 3,800 years after Abraham right 3,300 years after we left Egypt we're here there's a miracle he keeps his promises so you know we could talk about modern history after 75 years we're still here and we're not going anywhere okay but we have to have I think we have to have a tremendous amount of gratitude for the Miracles that actually have taken place now I know that the whole media is being bombarded with all the atrocities and they are real and you know how I know they're because they came from the Hamas um GoPros you know I mean they they recorded themselves like the Nazis yamak Shaman but what people are now uncovering and sharing are the Miracles of what actually did take place and we should you know adjust our ears and listen and really feel the uh the appreciation we have towards Hashem for the actual miracles that have taking place and people should share them a lot more and so we're grateful for the Divine protection I think I mentioned this in the last few classes we shouldn't be here according to all logic and I'm not talking about for the last 75 years I'm talking for the last 3,300 but if you just know about modern history Seven Nations came and attacked us and they're still attacking us and we're still here so we have and we're talk a lot about amuna and belief and Trust the second thing I want to mention is we should continuously pray for the safety of Israel for the uh the courage thank the courage and hope the courage continues with our Fighters um and for the safety of all the all of Israel and I mentioned because came up in a verse in the previous few chapters that um God says to Abraham I will bless those who bless you it's plural God will bless those cu the many will bless us and they will recognize there's a blessing even on them pray for the safety of Jerusalem and God says I will do he doesn't say those who curse you he says he who curses you I will curse and it's singular because each of those anti-semites every one of those anti-jewish people they're not a group they're individuals they H us for different reasons they hate each other they're fighting with each other and that should continue that they fight with each other but we should have nothing to fear we should have nothing to fear I want to mention before we start that past classes on this para are in the links below okay there are links Below in the description box I encourage you to listen to them okay so here we go in Genesis chapter 22:2 that's number one on the English sore sheet Hashem says to Abraham please take your son your only one now we all know that he had another son okay yesel but he's speaking about y please take your son your only one whom you love Yeah Isaac and go away to the land of Moria and bring him up there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you I want you to become familiar with the Hebrew because you can't really understand the depth of theim without the Hebrew so it says the fine we translated that but I want you to focus on this part of the verse we saw before in par those words appear says it's for your own benefit and for your goodness to go to ER Isel the CLE car takes a little bit of a different understanding that that it means go to your essence you were created here and there's a magnet pulling you whether you're conscious aware of it or not this is where your essence belongs and that's where it is and the next part was bring him up there for a burnt offering I don't really like that translation and you'll see why we're going to see that God is actually not telling Abraham to bring his son as an offering meaning as a sacrifice and know it sounds like that but we'll see that it it's not like that and then on one of the mountains which I will tell you those words which I will tell you we're GNA have to um pull apart and try to understand what is God saying why didn't you just tell him the one I'm going to tell you about very important Raji also is very important if you go down to the middle the land of Mor this is Jerusalem okay to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Mariah and our sages explained that it's called Mariah because from there you know what the word hot okay um when you go for from a Bas Den they're giving you H oath instructions in fact the Torah itself is a book of instructions Torah H and it's from Mount Mariah where the Sanhedrin will sit that's where the instruction will come forth from to the people of Israel anus rener it the land of service alluding to the service of the incense so we have Torah which is the first part and prayer and a in the in the temple the word is called really think of Moria as the word more or my with a yud yud he God's name is attached to this incense more more Moria it's phonetically similar to Moria and the other spices uh Rashi himself says when it says bring him up there I know the rest of it says for a burnt offering but we're going to read it Rashi says he didn't say him Slaughter him because the Holy One Blessed Be he did not wish him to slaughter him but just to bring him up to the mountain and to prepare him for a burnt offering as soon as he is brought up to the mountain then you'll take him down another piece it says one of the mountains why didn't God tell us in the five books of Moses the word Jerusalem does not appear yes it appears over 700 times in the rest of Tanakh but we didn't know nobody knew you'll see that Abraham knew but nobody else did didn't know because it says one of the mountains which mountain it's it's obviously being held as a secret for the time being and as we will see one of the ideas is that as long as the mishan would exist okay that's where the service would be if we knew that where it was going to be where the temple would be permanently we may not have um given as much cavod and respect to the mishkan so it was hidden okay it was until D revealed where it was okay let's start with the CLE car knowing that PK and that Rashi clear card okay it's p it's one page at the top go for yourself to this place called the land of Maria the clear by the way for those who don't know who the clear is a quick synopsis real quick he was the T M of the Mahar come on in oh wow he was the Tom M of the Mahar okay and um he so you know who the maral is I don't have to say but basically um he carries on that tradition of mysticism metaphysical insights and everybody claims that the maral is their teacher whether you're kidish whether you're yeshivish whether okay is a whole another story but nevertheless uh most of the Jewish World holds by the mar and we're talking about the the student the star student H who lived 400 years ago so this is going back 400 years and we're only in the first line even though we read the verse and we read Rashi it says like this as the clear is explaining go to yourself even though we're not in par the words appear here by the and so um the CLE says go to your essence I think every Jew knows this this is like a magnet a spiritual magnet that's pulling us here Jerusalem the Temple Mount and I'm going back to the rambam says the very place that man was created from that's where he will find his atonement so when we call evantia what we will translate as the foundation stone stone that's where man the the physical body was created God took soil we're not going to call dirt we're not dirt soil from the four corners of this globe right it's a globe with Corners right directions and he produced he created he formed man there and he took the soil from the temple man itself and created his head so we're talking about we are you know offshoots ofar so this is where we were created from the word Adam it's from the Adama we're from the ad but Adam what's the word do do means similar to so man God created us as Adam don't man we are created in His image the name of who we are it's like hi I'm looking at you you're creating the image of God because you're from you're Adam from the ad right I am similar okay so the CLE explains that's where the physical body came from on the source sheet I think it's number two in Exodus chter 20 ver 21 an altar of Earth you shall make for me okay so in Hebrew the very fact that it's that's where Man was created from from the from that specific place in Mount Maria and now he goes on to the word of Maria he says remember we already spoke about the word more more is in well actually I'll show you where it is on the sour sheet Number Four Song of Songs shim uh chapter 4 verse 6 and until the sun spreads and the Shadows flee I will go to the mountain of M in Hebrew so the the mountain itself is really more from the fact that that's more is one of the incense one of the spices of the incense so it has to relate to aod um so now we know that really the yud of Mor is actually extra you understand it's extra look with the Clear Car it sounds like the the fact that God's name is attached to the word more seems extra mut mut extraneous and he says sh as the verse we just read in Song of Songs take me right I will go I will bring me that's the place of the foundation stone what is the foundation stone think of it there's two things I want you to think about what we only imagine we're going to call the big bang somehow or another the way the scientists tried to explain it there was some kind of molecule that was so dense and so small but it exploded everything came out of it or think about an embryo you have interaction between a seed and um the other seed and then there's a multiplication of cells that's with the Eva that's the naval of the earth I mean that's a very good comparison the word Naval in terms of embryo that from that point the Earth expanded from so that's the center of the earth so to speak that's the point where we were created also as human beings it was from that point that the two worlds what are the two worlds the spiritual world and the physical world by the way the word Yim like I mentioned already does not appear in the five books of Moses but 700 times in Tanakh almost 95% of the times it it appears as the word Yus which is singular we pronounce it Yim plural because there are actually two Jerusalem there's a Jerusalem here on Earth we're living in it and then there's the Heavenly that is M that is completely in line with the Heavenly with the Earthly Jerusalem but and I will refer you to Rabbi Bri was his class he spoke about the idea of male and female male men and women is and is there's an extra let you say an extra he in the female because you havein and then in the male Alin you have a y in the male so the truth is that if there is no yud in the relationship between these two people then what do you have fire something destructive so there's another symbolism here between or let's say the spiritual world the physical world the the letter yud is raised off the ground it's a little point it's kind of hanging in the air and that would be the spiritual orah and that's the masculine because he needs the he needs to be um what I'm thinking like you know ejacul inac inoculated with spirituality the female she's really a doid with a Y doid represents the four dimensions of the physical world there four Direction CS four always represents the physical world but she has a y she's able to and I'm going to say this I know there's women in the room and don't when she goes window shopping she's doing service to God she's thinking how to make the shop the house beautiful how to make the shabas table beautiful uh how to make herself beautiful for husbands to bring up Jewish children whatever it is there's something about a woman who's able to conquer the physical world where men have a difficulty and therefore we need the inoculation so to speak that's a good word uh A Rush of spirituality we need the men's club and we need to hang out and Sh all day you know whatever you know three times a day okay that's enough of that just keep in mind this idea of the Two Worlds talking about the world to come or the spiritual world the physical world meaning the physical world that we're living in now God created with his name yud hey and as proof for that I want to go to uh number five on the source sheet Isaiah 264 now I don't like always these English translations I mean it's justifiable but it says trust in the Lord forever for in the yud he the Lord is the rock of Eternity so so one should trust in the forever hasem because the of God's name Sur me he created the worlds you all see number five right so it's through the yud that he created the world that's how I would translate it okay so back into the CLE car so he says that sh that the very Gate of Heaven is there meaning in Mount Mariah right where the Temple Mount stands and what else is about that place now we talked about the San hedin being there giving instructions H I got that part but there's something else that you guys should hear there are many names to Mount Si one of them is Moria so as we will see in yakov's dream when we all know the kazal that he was on his way North to lavan's house and maybe he's almost there and the ground contracts and he's back in Jerusalem right he he he passed the place that his own forefathers had prayed and he comes back to this place how did he travel in such a short period of time they speak about as if the land contracted I want to use a different term in Star Trek guy says beam me up Scotty he was transported I want to say the same thing actually happened by Mount Mariah meaning Mount Si when we were experiencing the actual revelation of Mount Si 3,300 years ago we were actually standing physically at that place in the middle of this peninsula right to the west of us however maybe it's even to the South who knows where it is we don't even know where it is not that important the important thing is that we were metaphysically transported we were standing at Mount Mariah in Jerusalem that's according to the medish that's how we understand it and that's how I tried to explain it to you guys so we can understand the next statement so the word has the connected to it we understand this is the Gate of Heaven um this is where God married us if that's how you want to translate that's where the marriage actually took place him being the male because the male is the giver the female is the receiver it's just like the way de just like the way a male the husband clings to his wife when you have God in the picture when you have the yud and the ha in the relationship the Y love re REO it's not an easy translation but this testifies about the companionship and that's why I said from the very beginning we are so lucky we right we are we should feel the gratitude that we have that we're here today it's a miracle it's not just the Miracles that are happening now today but the same Miracles that happened to us in the past are happening again today if you picture the B mikdash itself there are actually 15 Steps they're circular they're like a horseshoe uh that's right circular semicircular um leading up from the women's section to the men's section again 15 y he this is what connects between the Ezra nashim the women's section and the men section just like the name of God itself it's a very easy way to remember this David the gamat of David is 14 he was the 14th generation from Abraham and schlomo was the 15 so again the base of mikdash was built in the 15th generation another idea of yud he when the zeu the the relationship was more complete going towards completion in fact we think about the months the days of the month on the 15th of every Jewish month we can look up in the sky and see what a full moon that's so King Solomon was like a building up towards the you know that was like the unbelievable generation to live in can't even imagine right what peace and you know the obvious uh hasem was so obvious in our lives and then of course unfortunately then this the moon waines I think waxes or waines one of those two it's on the way down but that was like at the high point of Jewish history and so it's easy to remember that King Solomon that was the 15th generation and that's when the Bas mikdash was built okay so the next paragraph says as we translated this was you know you should bring him up onto one of the mountains which I will tell youash since did not tell anybody that exact place he did not reveal to any creature that this is where the Bas mikdash would be built he speaks about it in and like I like I said um part of it was so that people would have respect for the Tabernacle for the 400 some years that the temple had not yet been built zul but the exception was that abah knew this secret he knew that the Bas of mikdash where it would be built Al Kuru because Abraham himself what did he call this place go to and this you would find in number eight on the sore sheet in Genesis 22:14 the Lord will see Abram named the place he actually name the place the Lord will see as it is said to this day on the mountain the Lord will be seen so in Hebrew will see that's how there were two cities the jebusite part and there was the shalain part and it's based on Yus Yu from here as well that God will be seen um in in the Rashi on that verse the simple meaning is as the tarum renter renders the Lord will choose and see for himself this place to cause his divine presence to rest therein and for offering sacrifices there here okay so the CLE card Begins by telling us that this very Place nobody knew about except Abraham he knew and that is where that verse that section ends that um just like when he speak speaks more about it on that verse Hashem will be seen by the way there's a special Corbin that we bring right imagine PES or suus even sh we bring a but we also bring it's called a offering so we're supposed to not go up empty-handed so we're there to see and perceive Hashem and to be seen in fact it's a beautiful bless that every Jew gives another Jew or any Hebrew speaker you know we say what does that mean to be seen I'm looking forward to seeing you again to be seen well God wants to see us and he wants us to see him that's part of the relationship okay let's go to the next paragraph the verse said you know you're going to go to that place one of the that I'm going to tell you has that in the future it will be the word of God will basically emanate To His prophets from there in other words it's like a transistor of some sort or maybe in these Sci-Fi movies about these um gates from one I don't know sphere to another but basically the navi that will exist and we're going to see that for sure worked out with most in fact maybe we should go in order like that it says in look in number n Exodus chap 25:22 God says to Moses I will arrange my meetings with you there and I will speak with you from a top the ark cover from between the twoim that are upon the Ark of testimony all that I will command you until the children of Israel in Hebrew right I'm going to inform you there I'm going to make these meetings I'm going to speak with you from the top of the Ark cover so that is where Hashem spoke to Moshe now when Moses spoke to the People by the way that was God's voice emanating out of Moses throat but when Moses was listening to God's speak somehow there was like this transistor I don't know exactly it was transmitting from that place all Prophets I'm talking about kosher prophets Jewish prophets all prophets their prophecy is emanating from Moshe so it's like a a relay Tower so it's coming from Hashem going to mosha and all prophets are prophesizing through the energy and amination that Moses left in this world know he's the mother of all prophets or should say the father of all prophets and it's you know they tapped into to his prophecy in fact I'll even tell you you know if you don't listen to the prophets it's a very horrible punishment death but guess what if if Moses was a prophet and the Torah is prophecy then every time we violate any one of The Commandments we should see death but that's not the case the Torah even says oh you have to pay back oh you have to get lashes oh you have to just do chuva there a whole you know why because the five books of Moses no nobody's going to whip me nobody's going to get upset with me the Torah self is not prophecy it's above prophecy it's beyond prophecy it's super prophecy I we can find a word for it but it cannot be prophecy because prophecy you should die if you don't listen to the prophet and we violate Moses's words I should talk to myself more than once in my lifetime right maybe maybe more than just once so it's it's not prophecy on that level it's above it's way above so I'm just trying to explain how the other prophets who did exist they at least the according to the clear he says that God in the future when say because it say I will speak to you I will tell you this is to Abraham that in the future God will speak to His prophets from there from that place where it's transmitting from just like it says in the PK we just quoted because God will speak to you from that Place between the cherubim above the cover of the Ark okay the next thing is V some say again those same words which I will tell you is actually going on Israel listen to this the sh that God said as we translated it bring him up there for a burnt offering but the cleart immediately points out l it doesn't actually says it doesn't actually say bring him up to burn him to slaughter him to incinerate him you know that's what a burnt offering is don't doesn't say that it says so in other words you're going to bring him up in order to make and do a sacrifice but as the clear card will say it doesn't say it's your son it doesn't say it's something else just bring him up because you're going to perform a burnt offering so God never told him that or he never understood he actually even told as we'll see the people that were with him we're coming back okay we're going to return so he knew that this was a test let's put it that way but then it's not a test huh not a test if you know well it's a test that he passed because he was able to perceive that he wasn't going going to burn his son I hear what you're saying I would agree that's a way to look at it but it we in other words it seems like this was his final test this was a great test my understanding was that it really was a testan you had to have some sense that he may lose his son or not okay there is a Rashi that seems to imply that he knew and we're going to get to it because like I mentioned um let me just see if I can find that Rashi quickly not so sure I'm going to find it so quickly but there is a Rashi that seems to imply oh okay I want you to look at um number 13 on the English sori where it says and we're going to get to it Abraham said to his young men stay here with the donkey we're going to talk a lot about that and how that relates to yishmael anyway and I and the lad will go Yonder and we will prostrate ourselves and return to you so he says we will return to you and look at and return He prophesies they would both return so let me ask you we know that it was a test we weren't there we're talking about Abraham who was promised that his seed will somehow live on and on and yet he's told or seemingly allegedly told go and bring him as an ol no the clearart is saying he knew that it was a choice we don't know until I get there it didn't say it was definitely going to be him maybe that's the way to explain how it was a test he still obeyed he didn't question it could be that he's going to be my son it could be that God will perform a miracle and produce a ram perhaps that's acceptable as an answer I don't know I mean we're talking about we know it's a test and yet Rashi says he knew that he was returning or it was just hopeful I would imagine it's like know that he's return that's what a test is Faith that'll return okay so that's the test know so he didn't he wasn't he know well let's leave this Rashi says he prophesies they would both return the actual words he said they're going to both return maybe you're right his test was purely uh a spiritual uh exercise in auna we don't know but let's move on okay I'm glad that you brought that up so the clear says in this y that When God says that which I will tell you is going on to go up to bring Ana not necessarily to sacrifice your son as the last few words of this paragraph says so clearly he did not know that it was definitely going to be his son it could have been something else he was just there to bring his son up in order to do an Ola but it didn't say according to the clear that you're going going to bring your son up as a offering that's all the clear trying to express okay so now the last piece actually there's two two small paragraphs left the Y so verse four says and right Abraham saw the place from afar where do we see this in the uh number 10 it's Genesis 22:4 on the third day Abram lifted up his eyes and he saw the place from afar the Y um I just want to clarify one thing in the Rashid says and he saw the place it says he saw a cloud attached to the mountain now he saw it we're going to see in in cor the medish Y saw it nobody else but the other people that were with him did not see it and actually that's going to help us answer when it says stay here with the he's talking to who elezar and isma we know that was isma from our tradition and so he's saying you don't have the spiritual eyes to see you have the physical eyes like from H's physicality so you guys just hang out with the physicality you're not on the level to come up and see the the uh the revelation of God so to speak so let's see how the cleard brings it down so he sought it from afar but not from up close see in order to see right they they saw the the glory and the shine of God's presence shik as in philosophical thought we say that he is the place of the world that's why his name is H the omnipresent but this is not his place that's not for now just keep that in mind anyway you can only see it from afar the closer you get to it it's not so easy to see we'll see we'll see how he explains it he's bringing an idea when you're looking at a son which is obviously not advisable the son Su the further you are away from the sun right you're able to see it but the closer you are it's blinding that we don't have the ability the eyesight ability we don't have the ability to see with that sense um to look at the sun the clo the closer a person is to it so if that's true by the physical world the sun then meaning how much more so how much more so right the logic would dictate would it be difficult to see the shine of the light of God so Moses himself said in in in Exodus 3:3 which you'll find number 11 Moses is approaching he's pretty close to the burning bush and he said let me turn now and see this great spectacle why does the thorn bush not burn off but in the Hebrew it says let me turn basically turn away this idea of that language is turning away in order to see because if I look if I come closer and look at it directly I won't I won't be able to see it I have to somehow move back a little bit or let's he's not really moving back physically he's just turning away okay so the says this idea of moving away or let's say turning away is in order to distance himself from this holy place so that it's not that close to himos the whole purpose was that he should be able to see now there is a mo Locus in the gar discusses actually this was not a good idea that he turned it away um because later on when he says please show me your glory god doesn't answer him because he says I had not you had an opportunity to see me up close and you didn't take it so I'm not going to show to you now but the reason I'm bringing that up is because the way we're going to read May is more like history the way you can see Hashem is like God said you can see my back but not my face you can see the history you can see the past and in fact that's how it's going to be translated in Jeremiah chapter 312 where do we have that on the sore sheet number 12 this it says from long ago the Lord appeared to me with Everlasting Love have I Loved You therefore I have drawn you to me with love and kindness that reminds me why are we here today because Hashem has fulfilled and is continuing to fulfill his promises he loved us and he loves us and he will love us forever but it says from long ago the Lord appeared to me but in Hebrew it says may from a distance Hashem appeared to me again it could mean in time like from history that's how I'm able to see Hashem in fact Rashi says in the Merit of the Patriarchs which kind of like maybe hints to the idea of history but at least the promise is being being kept because of the promise uh to the Patriarchs and okay let's go back into the clear the last thing we said was um this was all in order that he would be able to see just like from Jeremiah the further away I am or maybe in time that's what's inferred from a distance that you're able to perceive but not necessarily up close okay now the last part is the I think the most interesting and if you hung in there till now hopefully I have a you guys can keep the English printouts the last two pages is it two pages well maybe it's two and yeah two full Pages this is three pages um from page six until the end of 10 it's un un believable all the things it has to say about yes so the last statement in the CLE car and then we'll go into that he says stay here he's talking to these two gentlemen I I mentioned how do we know that ishma was there that's our tradition he came back and for one day and was with them on their way to theak Isaac was 37 years old you and ishma is 14 years older okay so he wasn't a kid anyway so what happens I just want to think about this how do we know he did chuva because this is going to be related to current events yes does chuva in the end so how does how do we know because at the funeral of Abraham it says he was there and not only does it say he was there that that um that yok was first that he actually granted and acknowledged yit as being the child of Sarah we'll talk about that because there's a whole story about Ai melik and maybe she got impregnated that one night that she was held captive okay anyway so he was there what's you know we're making tius also for thead right shalish is when someone dies they can't thank you and you can't expect them to say Thank you so this is a that is pure and you can't have any other reasons so when he stopped in that one day and he ends up escorting his father and uh and elzar and Y to the aada it's maybe to show look I'm not so bad I I still want to be in your will I I still want a portion of your um inheritance I'm a good guy that's why I'm helping you know not so pure reasons but when Abraham dies who's he trying to impress no one and not only does he come and participate in the burial of his father but he acknowledges yit as the true Heir so one day this is how yishmael will finally see us but what I'm about to show you is why they are so upset why are they upset so the clear let me just finish this piece of the car and then we'll get into this don't accept that's correct but that's we're gonna talk about something else though we're gonna talk about something else if it's not the oh skip something the word right it says stay here stay with the donkey the word IM is I in me it's also the word for this is from gor y it's talking about a nation that is similar to a now we don't know what a is other than you know seeing one in a zoo right he's going to describe we're g to get a description of what a is but anyway what it should have said was that the donkey should stay with you I mean what what is first and what is secondary so fa why were these human beings considered less than the donkey because they were less than an animal because of their animal nature they were even less than that what happens is that theam eats your socks or underwear or you know your wallet your homework that's what he does but these people do it I'm just reading the words okay that they sin willingly or maybe they have to take drugs to do it I don't know that's why they're less than even an animal I just want to go to this little piece here it's page six it's listen I don't think we're going to complete it but I want to get to the main points um both is and Ismael are the only two Nations that have God's name attached so you have right Israel El at the end and yesel billum said of the 70 Nations that God created in his world that he did not place his name in any of them other than Israel now if that's what billum is saying and he's a prophet well guess what we know that is also does so yes is then secondary he says God equated is's name with that of Israel pery the rebar mentions so why is his name isma it does it mean like the pic says God heard his voice is that how we understand it because God will hear the sand sound of hour groaning from what these people are destined to do in the land in the end of days this is going back 2,000 years perky dezar therefore his name is called yes as it says into Hill 5520 that it says God will hear and answer them it's talking about us They are going to cause so much pain to us that we're going to cry out and God will hear wait till you hear the pain they're going to cost us so the radal explains that the name yesma was given although the name yesma was given because God heard the voice of Hagar and the voice of the rad nevertheless since this particular name is in the future tense there must be two meanings one for the past one for the future now we all know and we all think that there's going to be these four major kingdoms right the four Exiles the four M so we usually count them as Babylonia Persia Greece and Rome however the Ian Ezra explains that there's actually a fourth Kingdom that would be the one we're talking about whereas Greece and Rome are really one and you know for us I think we could see how Greece and Rome can really be one not everyone agrees with that the ramban rejects that and the maharal takes a certain um he actually talks about the criteria of a kingdom how is the criteria of the four kingdoms he says the criteria of one of the four kingdoms is not only their hatred of the Jewish people but also the taking away of the sovereignty from Israel they fight against God's Kingdom which is represented by Israel on the other hand yes's very strength is actually given their strength because Abraham himself prayed for this young lad right in Genesis 17:18 oh that ishma may live before you he prayed for his benefit and God even re granted his request two verses later chapter 17 verse2 God says regarding Ismail I have heard you okay so ish does not come to rebel against God's rule they all are about God's kingdom or right they don't come to rebel against that or to add like Christianity as another element of divinity right they like more than one God so these ishmaelites believe in one God therefore the four kingdoms are compared to animals um in Daniel right if you read Daniel you'll see and yes we know is peram like it says in Genesis 16 12 so peram we have to explain and we're all going to translate this as a wild donkey you can see or a wild ass okay this is how it's um talked about in the Torah so Samson Ral HS explains what is the nature of a wild Dunkey it refuses to accept discipline and yoke but rather just wants to be free like a wild donkey accustomed to the Wilderness this is a verse in y it talks about a wild Dunkey just likes to roam free cannot be restrained therefore as it says about Ishmael in Genesis chapter 16:12 that his hand is against everyone and everyone's hand is against him just keep in mind when we have Hebrew we're we're not native Hebrew speakers but usually you take the um the noun precedes the adjective so Anam God right we're all familiar with those words in this case it's called a peram which means the noun is the perah he is a donkey that looks like a man I'm just reading the verses okay the who passed away 1933 already he wrote that since the Torah is eternal yesma will always be wild and he says almost prophetically who knows what this param is liable to do to the Jewish people to Israel this idea is also expressed in the very names yishmael and Israel so isra is like Yar K yes El straight with God we don't need any intermediaries we are Yar we walk in fact Sharia law in in Islam Sharia is from Yar from how to walk in a straight path and I have a tradition was passed down to me from a an Islamic scholar whenever they have any questions about H in Islam they're supposed to go to Israel to find out the anyway one day that will become clear in the meantime so why is Israel that we straighten ourselves in the direction of God and walk in his ways what about yesel is on account of the fact that God heard their voices they subjugate as if God for their needs they think that all of what they do is the Divine will their Wars are Jihad Holy Wars and all their actions in the name of Allah not long ago there was a Convention of the Islamic clergy to discuss the question of how to explain the fact that this infection of the Jewish State got stuck in the middle of the large Islamic region their conclusion was that God sent Israel into the midst of the Muslim region in order to make it easier to destroy them what Hitler was unsuccessful hit sh sh was unsuccess because of the Jews great dispersion we were dispersed see even in our galut there was a and a um um great wisdom in God first of all the main reason because we sinned we're in gullis but we also pick out the holy Sparks the Jew the non-jews the Jewish Souls that are stuck in non-jewish bodies um can only know about who we are because of our um a dispersion and going out to the four corners of this globe um there's others there are those that explain this that this attitude is a form of idolatry meaning even when Abraham comes and he watches their feet because there was sand or dust on their feet because the they worship the dust that is on their feet believe beleving that wherever they go God is with them in perar perar relates that SAR saw is shooting an arrow at Y in order to kill him now first of all the Torah speaks about the idea that he was MIT and the word mitah is the same word used when the Jews worshiped the golden C golden calf when we worshiped the golden calf we violated The Big Three it wasn't just idle worship there was murder we murdered and we also were involved in um sexual immorality so there was idol worship and well this say the big three so she saw this young lad yesma was going to murder her own son and um the son of that slave woman should not inherit with my son yach that's what she says in Genesis 2110 I'm just going to S skip the next two lines because I think there's a misprint here um basically I think what it means is that SAR didn't want yish to inherit with Yak but rather that yak should inherit everything now this is going to be the Crux of the matter perhaps where a lot of the hatred and animosity comes from ru hutner explains that this is the reason why Ismael hates Israel so much since the children of the concubines remember Abraham had a second wife some say it was actually haar under a different name Kor okay and he sent his six Sons to the east by the way when he sent his six Sons to the east with gifts as the verse says that's when Hinduism and Buddhism appeared on the scene these Eastern religions I'm not going to go into that now but they stem from Judaism so since his other children received gifts ishma was chased away how do you think ishma feels right at least these other non-jewish children are receiving gifts I got nothing I'll say it again nothing how do you think he feels moreover all of this was after he thought he was the only child remember how we even began the very first the very first to please take your son your only one whom you love Yeah Isaac you know uh Marvin mentioned already that one of the things that they do is they deny our um trans Miss of the Torah they say that we corrupted the Torah it was really yes that went up on the aada I don't know I mean how they got to there I have no idea but they really bu so the the ma the thei actually says under like with the rambam claims that it's forbidden to teach non-js Torah the meiri says Christians you can teach because they're teachable they want to be better human beings and they already accept the Torah from God they they believe that the Old Testament as they call it is at least from God whereas the ishmaelites let's say Islam Islam islamists I'm not even sure they all believe it I think that many of them are doing shuva but let's just say the ones who haven't believe that we corrupted the Torah and it's not even worth listening to and anything we teach them they're going to use against us so that's why the Mii would say that it would be forbidden to teach non-jews Torah or speak Torah around them okay uh so so that's rev Hunter's idea that um that because yisha was chased away moreover all of this was after he thought he was the only child therefore his disappointment was so great and he burned with hatred so why did yma think everything was his the N explains the Sara was punished for for be by by taking by being taken to aik's house because of the story she laughed to herself when God you know told and the the angel said that the the that there she's going to have a baby and you know she was she left so there's an eloquent an element of quid proquo or measure for measure when she said my husband is old right so there was a lack of faith that Aram was capable of fathering so the punishment was that all the Skeptics of the time they were given room to say that yak was really the son of aiik right remember because he was alone with with SAR for a short period of time and it was really aiik that caused started to become pregnant of course a miracle occurred and Yak looked exactly like his father Abraham and also yakob looked like his father Yak but anyway this is part of the idea behind yak's I'm sorry ismael's mocking mitah anyway the child groom was weaned Abra made a feast on the day Yak was weaned SAR saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian mocking as we just said so the sworo writes he was ridiculing the feast saying that she became pregnant with AI you know from aiik so you know because remember SAR laughed so now she saw Ismail mocking that yak is not even her son so this is how far it went um this is the source of the isites contention of our holding on to isra because remember if yit is not Abraham's son but aimik then he's the Philistine he should be in Gaza and the ishmaelites should be here there Israel um when when with this we can understand kaz's teaching that actually yes did repent and the source is from the idea as we mentioned in the burial of Abraham in Genesis chter 25:9 it says yak and yishmael his sons buried him that yma allowed Yak to go before him so what's the proof from this that he repented now keep this in mind it could be that he already repented on the day of this uh AA but we didn't know how a Bas Den or a judge can only know from what's before him so you don't know the person's intent so it could be already from the time of the he repented but we only know for sure that he repented by the burial because then there's he had no biases or how would I put it um no other reason to honor his father other than he truly honored his father and he put Yak first so what is the proof that from this that he repented since y yish had claimed that y was not Abraham's son by allowing him to go first to acknowledge Yak is really indeed Abraham's son and I I don't know if I should Contin this stuff is really good stuff if anybody wants to turn this off now just you know but we have to believe that we don't know how many but that there will be a transformation of this world that yishmael we have to believe we can do chuva right we know ourselves we've sinned we've made mistakes and we ourselves can do chuva why can't a human being we have to believe that anyway the Zohar par teaches that yes's angel complained that he was rejected and that y was chosen to receive the inheritance of the land even though he too is circumstan circumcised so there is a a hanging on of the land to a certain extent by yishmael children because they were circumcised although it was not a complete circumcision therefore that it's not a full uh it's not they don't have any real claim on the land in fact as we're going to see that the only time they have a claim any kind of real claim is when it's empty when we come back their claim disappears listen to the words this is the Zohar so we see that the that isma's angel Arch Angel complained that he was rejected and the yach was chosen and received the inheritance of the land even though he too is circumcised God answered that this was in order to distance yesma from the ultimate clinging to the land so to speak and he gave him he did give him a share in the Holy Land Below in this world thus isma is destined to rule the land as long as it is empty and they will prevent this is the Zohar they will prevent the Jewish people from returning to their place until the Merit of the circumcision runs out because it's not really a complete circumcision erit Israel is the land of faith and Providence as it says in Deuteronomy chapter 11:12 that God's eyes are upon the land only Believers can dwell in it as long as it is empty Believers like yishmael can dwell in it but when Israel who are steadfast Believers arrive their Merit expires I just want to say about every Jew as a Believer whether they are cognizant of or not we are believers son of Believers we're only Jewish today because our great great great grandparents were believers they cut the ice in the you know Siberia or wherever they were you know they didn't eat on PES they only married Jews because they were Believers and that's the only reason we're here today no matter how far we are it's in our DNA anyway um therefore there's a double obligation to increase our faith in these times to overcome yes's right to the land this is an exercise in faith we have to strengthen and I see it happening before my very eyes and I don't think I'm the only person seeing it therefore we are approaching the end as it says in Genesis you know by the uh Brit batari a dread a great Darkness fell upon him so the dread refers to the four kingdoms but what does it mean upon him that alludes to yes and then over them the son of David will Sprout so don't worry this is the beginning of Messiah says in Psalms 13218 is enemies I will clothe them with shame but upon him his crown will Sprout V writes that all the kingdoms want to convert US and only through this and in other words there the idea that they murder us is not because they want to murder us they want to convert US like convert or die okay they don't want us to die they want us to convert but since they have no endgame so they they try to kill us so but unlike Ismael whose goal is actually to murder to eradicate us to eradicate Israel's name from the world it would not suff ice to murder to sorry to convert him alone the rambam writes in his Aeris man and these These are words that uh I never saw until today that there was no Nation worse to Israel than yishmael and about them King David himself said in Psalms 12:5 woe unto me for I dwell with mesek I dwell within the tents of Kadar now this is the rambam in the AER the letter to the yemenites who the htis have just declared war on Israel despite the fact that we bear their yoke without complaining and their subjugation and their lies and falsehoods are more than we can handle I just want to know my wife received a video today it was the most disgusting horrible video I ever saw in my life and the person who passed it on said is this this true implying that this was what Israel was doing to the Palestinians there was not one Jewish star it was it was Palestinians doing to Palestinians or Arab it was they were Arabic they weren't even trying to be Jews like to wear IDF uniforms murdering hundreds shooting hundreds of other Arabs the only educated guess I can make is that this was Hamas killing their own people for wanting to leave and they're putting these things out for people to think this is what Israel is doing to our people but everyone I spoke to not Jewish people who saw this said it didn't fool me there was I know what Arab I know what Arabic is and it went on Hebrew but there wasn't even the you know the effort to make it look Jewish they just put it out I mean this is we're dealing with just like I mentioned like all of the close circuit televisions we have it matches up with their own uh GoPros you know you can match it up so it's they're proving themselves this and I think that every decent human being decent human being will choose to go with God to go with the god of Israel and let me just finish this last point and then we'll take questions or comments despite the fact that we bear their yoke without complaining and their subjugation and their lies and falsehoods are more than we can handle despite all this we cannot be saved from the magnitude of their evil and recklessness this is Ram bam wrote you know 800 years ago as much as we chase after peace with them they chase us with War as King David said I am peace but when I speak they are for war but in all truth L of K read it it's 140 you'll see clearly will be finished they will be finished and we will I mean we are like the canaries in in the the mind H we are there we are there for the world we are going to try to help the Palestinians be free of the shackles of Kamas and I don't know if there's such things let's just say Arabs gazin whatever but you know what I mean so batem praying for you pray for us pray for the Peace of Yon and B keep the faith strengthen that muscle and we should [Music] B there's some here I hold
