Proof HaShem Doesn't Need You

what happened what happened on this day uh you know over the years of course we know it all begins with the sin of the the spies that uh were you know Mosherenu sent uh after the request of the people they wanted to go and spy out the land of Israel and then they uh instead of reporting what was actually there they reported bad things about Israel and that began the you know turning this day into a day of mourning. Throughout all of history, the biggest tragedies that have happened to AmI is have happened during this day. And it's not a coincidence. Uh you have the destruction of the first beta mikdash where literally millions upon millions of people were murdered in cold blood uh happened on tishab and the first beta mikdash destruction. The second beta mikdash uh destruction happened also on tab. Spanish Inquisition, Tishab, uh major key days during the Holocaust also tab a uh different tragedies uh have happened on tab a and in fact one of the things that uh you know we see in the Torah is that this has been you know really uh not just a common day where disaster strikes on that day but there are before that disaster strikes, there's a certain behavior. There's a certain thing that happens. There's a certain thing that we do that lead Hashem to in essence use this as the solution. Now, in the world of today where people think that uh you know a YouTube subscribers means the more YouTube subscribers you have, the more righteous you are and the smarter you are. uh you know many people are falling into the trap of different uh uh people that call themselves rabbis and tell you all types of things uh like God needs you uh and all other forms of heresy. uh a recent shu by one of the gonim in the in our generation uh he brought some you know some of the words of of the sages uh that are said everywhere but he put it in a really good perspective uh in paradim and uh he says look at how hashem brought us the salvation in the past and then you'll understand some of the ways of hem it'll also address this issue mush Mosher Benu did not want to be the Messiah. He did not want to be the the redeemer. He didn't have the uh confidence in himself that he is fit for this job. And more than anything else, he says, "I'm a terrible speaker. He has a speech impediment. He was both a stutterer and a stammer." uh you know part of it was because of you know him putting the uh the coal in his mouth when he was a little boy uh with that whole uh event that happened where the he was going to grab the uh the uh the crown the golden crown of Pero but the angel was sent to move his hand to the grab the coals and uh as a reflex he put the his hand in his mouth but there was still a piece of coal in his hand and he burned his tongue. So Mosher Rabenu the ultimate redeemer did not want to be a redeemer. Part of it was because he was a had a speech impediment and of course we seen he says all of these things meaning that became the ultimate speaker. Why did Hashem choose Mosheu as the speaker to Isra to teach us the Torah to to to to bring us all of the laws when he's in essence a terrible speaker and not quite fit according to his resume for the job in order to make sure that you realize that it's not somebody that thinks that they are fit but rather who Hashem picks mostly because if Hashem would have brought a good speaker let's say like KA the politician. Korak was a fantastic speaker. Korak convinced 250 of the biggest rabbis in the world to go against Moshe Rabenu. He was not only wealthy, was a very charismatic person who says, "No, I'm not going to bring you a charismatic person. I'm going to give you someone with a speech impediment." So you don't ever say that Musher Rabenu convinced millions of people to follow God but rather the words themselves the the events themselves God himself was what was the convincing part and so first shows us that the salvation does not come from what makes sense secondly chose the Jewish people but he didn't choose the Jewish people when they were at their height when they are, you know, the 12 tribes fighting warriors against all of the nations when the uh the wars of the 12 tribes uh against the uh the Canaanite nations. They were literally destroying giants as if they were little cockroaches. No, Hashem didn't choose them then. He chose them when they were in Egypt, slaves being being uh defiled, being being uh literally murdered, being destroyed on a daily basis where PO was murdering 300 babies every single day just to take their blood and bathe in it because his necromancers told him that the blood of the Jewish kids is good for the skin disease that he had. So these very same people that had their kids murdered left and right either in the morning for the ba bath of parole or because they didn't reach their quota and therefore they put the uh the their their kids in there to replace the the the stones. All types of horrific things that happened to the Jewish people. They became slaves that worse than any other uh uh uh people in history to the point where they no longer saw themselves as anything but slaves. So when Mosheu came to redeem them, they didn't understand what is he talking about us being redeemed, us being not being slaves, it didn't make any sense. So chose us as slaves. Why did choose us as slaves and not when we were doing really well? Very simple. To make sure that we know forever and more that does not need us. Does not need us. He is the one that lifted us up from nothing. We were nothing. We were zero. We were below zero. We were slaves. We were murdered. Literally tortured. Schlommiti was raped by one of these Egyptians. Horrible things happened to Amisan in Egypt. Countless people were killed. That's when Akadoshb who said, "You're my chosen people." So to make sure that you never say, "Oh, they were really, really good. They were amazing. They were righteous. They were perfect. They were the leaders and then Hashem chose them, so maybe he needs them because they're so good." No. Dafka. He chose them when they were slaves and lifted them up from the ground from dirt in order for us to remember 3,334 years later that Hashem does not need us. So if some old man with a really long white beard pretending to be a a philosopher/rabi tells you God needs you, go bring him this. And this is mentioned in countless places in the Midash, in the inal. It's literally all over the place. A person needs to know these things. Why? Because the says in the uh before Mashiach comes, we are going to reach the 50th level of tumah. What's the 50th level of tuma? Heresy. Heresy is the 50th level of tuma. Meaning heresy is going to be everywhere. People are going to distort the Torah. Some of them with beards, some of them without beards, some of them with podcasts and a bunch of questionable guests, some of them with uh YouTube channels, some of them with big congregations in the uh in rich neighborhoods. All types of heretics are going to come. And it's important for a person to know that they are either going to be a victim as a result of their own ignorance or they're going to prosper as a result of their own acquiring of knowledge. So here we see that doesn't need us. He chose us but then he almost destroyed us. Why? Why almost destroy us? What happened? What happened that this had to happen? Now we know that in the first beta mikdash, AmI is made the three cardinal sins. Immorality, which includes, you know, wasting seed, LGBTQ, uh uh uh intermarriage, these types of things. uh as well as uh murder and idolatry. Now in the second bet mikdash many people like to quote uh the uh that baseless hatred as the reason for the destruction of the second beta mikdash but that's because uh either they are uh you know being lenient on the crowd because the crowd is full of ignorant people that don't understand anything more than just simply not liking other people or they have not learned because the says that was not uh Kipau like as simple as you understand it that you just didn't like anybody else that wasn't exactly like you uh you described them you weren't uh it wasn't because uh you know a Jews turn into a Hitler or something like that didn't like anybody that wasn't uh uh fit his description that he himself didn't fit no shalom says is when stopped rebuking why because as The says said to the prophet Jeremiah, "Go check all of the go check all of the bet midash. If there's anybody out there that's rebuking, I won't destroy the bet mikdash because at least if there's somebody that's rebuking, somebody telling people the truth, there's a way for people to come back to good. But if no one's rebuking, then I have to rebuke." And the way that Hashem rebukes is with destruction. So that was one form of but the insat says that there were certainly other sins as a result of lack of rebuke that means that people started violating Shabbat and no one would tell them anything about it. People started doing all types of immoral things and no one said anything about it. So the was not that that was the only sin. It was the fact that this particular sin of lack of rebuke is in essence uh taking was the ultimate sin that allowed all of these other sins to continue [Music]
