Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: How to win the war against your enemy

[Music] okay good evening everyone good evening so we are in par shot show team that is in Deuteronomy chapter 20 verse 1 when you go out to battle against your enemy and you see horse and chariot the people nor more numerous than you you shall not fear them for a Shem your God is with you now I want you to know it's so easy in English but you're not getting anywhere if you look at the Hebrew you will realize that the word ki takes a little comma which happens to be singular owl.i veca against your enemy which also is singular the Rita soos Loretta you're gonna see a chariot ace a horse and a chariot but the next three words are absolutely dumbfounding I'm Rob Miller people nor more numerous than you how can it be a people more numerous than you and all that you see is a verse and a chariot if it's a people more numerous than you you only see a horse and a rider you have to ask yourself what's going on here so the clean the car points out something that we have been dealing with every time the parsha comes up and he says a new tree theme lamode I need a loofa Lashon Mia the Rivini come upon mean we actually need to become aware very cognizant of the fact that there are many exchanges as many times there's a switch from a singular language to a plural language and the first example he gives is what I just pointed out to you it does say you see a horse and a rider very eita seuss faretta and afterwards it says I'm Roth maja a people more numerous than you how can that be it's not consistent so the first thing he does he laying the groundwork for the questions that he's about to ask and I personally don't think that they're that strong of questions until we start delving into the answers as soon as we begin delving into the answers we're gonna see how powerful the questions really are he says the the commentators explained that from the eyes of God keepin a Hashem is brought from God's perspective and coulomb Kossuth the wreck of that hot the enemy that you're seeing is insignificant it's just like one from God's point of view the emu I'm rough and if they are a large nation meaning me power of yes the more numerous than you the lobe a nation is brought but not really from God's perspective from your perspective you look at a formula formidable enemy and and you know what the code is we're gonna see there's a special coin a special leader who takes you out to war and you know what his name is mushiya Mushaf nahama it's an amazing thing he's the anointed calling anointed that's what mr. ox means miss yacht means anointed and he's going to get you ever see Braveheart just imagine right you got the whole army ready to fight and this guy is out there like a pep rally you know just think of like the United States President at one of these pep rallies right he's got him goin in a frenzy you know USA USA matching you about to war then you like start thinking blood you know fight for your lives your women are your children at home if you know wipe out the enemy you have nobody to protect them right I mean then what else is the guys supposed to say but our guy says something very differently this is you're going with God you're fighting God's wars and God is with you okay and you're not allowed to rape anyone you're not allowed to steal anything and you know what else you have to be moral this is what says keep tape say that's a very it's a singular language but guess what when you approach the enemy it says Valhalla kicker ahem as you approach as if you're approaching he points out that it should have had a bet now first of all it is Russian Robbie it is the mass you're approaching you when you went out you receive Euler but as you're approaching your masses and not only that the cuff did Jung of kicker ahem needs clarification because why the cuff the cuff means as if you're approaching it should have said big here care of ten as you're approaching or in in your approach but it's as if you approach it now I've mentioned these questions or the like he's laying out the foundation they not they may not feel very strong but I'm telling you we go through this at the end you're gonna look back and say wow I get it so classic clear cardi says do you owe me Ronnie I the fleek are going to tell you like this should be your cello Bane Halloween when there is peace among your enemies right when Jordan and Syria and Iraq and Lebanon and Egypt long it together right they could be get they could get together right unlikely they're gonna stay that together for very long he's gonna mention that when your enemies are all together awesome look I'm not with sue Kenneth Leo Tara then it's a very dangerous situation for us when our enemies who actually hate each other but for five minutes they hate us more than each other it's very dangerous for us ki Coulomb knows no pet Eckhart Ellie Shem the Amish eco I love his language here all of them are fixed and deliberate like with one mouth against God and His anointed whose is anointed the Jewish people well ma'sha'allah kaliba but you know what if their hearts were divided the a nun boo goo da hot and they were not down together against us a nasa Konica doulica thought it's not so dangerous for us when they're fighting with each other it's not so bad for us so God creates a miracle for armies round the Z an ace I sure could this bar who I say in Israel this is the miracle that God will do and perform for the Jewish people I thought P Chabot heliosphere Tommy Bahama color almost knit kabuki Ohio Coulomb Seuss Loretta that hard even though the enemy as they come out to greet us right from the very beginning of their coming out against us they're all unified as if they're one of horse and one rider Keisha HOD as if they're just one the comic comb Corral ha ha ha but as we approach or as if we're approaching in war baby baby means in the meanwhile yesh lach Hashem behalf at Hanauma God sends to our enemies confusion and pandemonium we've seen it in our lifetime ooh the pirate of Ishmael Heath the enemy has sworn against the other right one against his brother the TAS sareth each better a you once word against the other like it says now this is the first on the source sheet you can open up to Deuteronomy 28 verse 7 so this is the word of the Lord chapter 28 verse 7 of Deuteronomy detain Hashem anti veca a kiyoung emall of new Gotham the finesse Oh God yay tree LFO will be Shiva dropping you news of the phenomena guess what's gonna happen the Lord will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be beaten before you they will come out against you in one direction but they will flee from you in seven directions powerful so of course since in the very beginning they'd have a an agreement these you know the Iraqis and the Syrians and the Lebanese and the Jordanians and Egyptians maybe had the Iranians and the Yemenites whatever but you have an agreement they're gonna they're gonna they want to kill the Jews they what they and their blood on their eyes because what happens Danny baby in the meanwhile yesh la Hache mmm uma Liotta Lockley BOM Hashem sends a miracle and they become divided they're no longer bound together their hearts are dividing odd should call Sheva almost call a cockney mu nu Sigma Derek a cup if not some until each one of these seven nations will flee in a different direction all on his own and there's another verse look at psalms 21 verse 13 in context it may not make a whole lot of sense but look at the Rashi on this verse you shall place them as a portion now in Hebrew Katie seemed to see Mason ki tusita mo Shem you shall place them as a portion but what's let's scram really mean you shall play another portion in Isaiah 23 18 Israel will divide their money and there's a verse in Isaiah 23 18 that says and her commerce and her hire shall be holy to the Lord it shall not be stored nor shall it be inherited but those who sit before the Lord shall have her commerce to eat and their fill to eat their fill and for stately clothing in other words we will take their things the enemy's things look at Rashi on this verse what does it mean holy to the Lord the righteous are destined to plunder her when the King Messiah comes it shall not be stored to be a treasure for her kings ok so that's the idea that we will divide the portion ok back into the theater so he says the I know the how come how lucky we will divide their their portion final and this is what it means when it says he takes in the milk ha ha I like that card I want you to look at chapter 21 I feel like I said I put it down here you know I didn't put it down but it's very important that you take a look at Deuteronomy chapter 21 we are verses in chapter 20 verse 1 so if you go to chapter 21 verse 10 I believe and I let you look at the Hebrew because you'll never see it in the English but actually it does see in the English it says in chapter 21 verse 10 when you go out to work against your enemies if you look in our chapters as when you go out to work as your enemy now if you look in the Hebrew there it's the one two three four the fifth word in verse 10 it's all of you at bet you'd cuff in our chapter it's without that extra good so there's an extra good that extra good makes it plural whether its enemy or enemies okay so our verse says when you go out against your enemy so below your debts or bait so you have this one year that's missing by our Beth what does it teach you it's himera Eliot at heart it's teaching you that one particular enemy and what do you see you see of worse then you see a rider or chariot I'm Ralph muha much greater greater numerous nation in you meaning I'm Roth cos s such a great powerful nation numerous nation Coulomb net Vadhu L amick Shah Baba Hakala ke shahad Luka Susan the wreck of the hunt that all of them basically represent a certain consensus on a very deep level from the very beginning as if they are one person one horse one rider the code uma American caberta but each one of your enemy is saying to each other to Susi casue sauce which means I see you you see me like my horse is your horse they're all in this together how you days they missed Omnicon days mo ro mo rest bill Vanessa and through this they want to cause you to be cowardly and be afraid but guess how you're gonna react what is the co hane makua milk Hamas a do not be afraid go to the verse this is what he says look at verse three well look at verse two it shall be when you draw near to the war the Kohen so approach and speak to the people he will say to them hear o Israel I want you to know there was a general in one of our armies very recently a very high-ranking officer who actually used this line when he went to war when the battle was about to take place in Gaza and the secular establishment was extremely upset who are you to make this into a religious battle what do you think your Joshua you know what the the person the leader is supposed to say listen to this he shall say to them I assure yeah what does my shall sound like the smut we're gonna get to it you are coming near to the battle against your Adam enemies let your heart not be faint do not be afraid do not panic and do not be broken before them imagine a high ranking Israeli officer saying for a sham your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you with your enemies to save you they put him down in rank and they're giving him a really hard time in becoming one of the Chiefs of Staff ok we can pray for him and then meanwhile this is what it is saying that were there coming against us they want to instill fear in us and the Kohen Mushaf the Messiah the leader of the army is going to say no do not be afraid I'll tear it lomi hem below may whom at naam don't be afraid of them and don't be afraid of their numbers why why don't be afraid of the numbers kill yourself it's powered Duke Ishmael achieve because anyway they're gonna run away in seven different directions they're gonna scatter and you're not gonna have a goosh you're not gonna have so anyway they're gonna run away in all these different directions so the Cohen and the priest the Anointed One leading them to battles gonna say no don't worry because in the end they're all gonna scatter each person from the other as it says now barber says attend our tent crazy my young the mill come out Oh HM it's true you are coming close to battle today upon your enemies plural Russian Robin okay in a plural so when you first went out against your enemy the later as you approach them its enemies they have scattered keep it tearing you you crowd alayhim Israel even before we approach them they have already some things are Michelle Hashem scattered them Misaka Ruach evening Baqir bomb Hashem placed over them a spirit of confusion in them the ha'la'tha bomb is mu Z and their their hearts to become divided remember we started by saying they came together as one enemy and in the end they scatter Lumet said now in spite of this gum biggest threat l-lisa kurdish bar hoon hae so that's the first miracle God is going to create another miracle he even be shocked how you see Allah milk AMA when we go out to war we're going out with a very small number do any idea how many people go out to war so let's say it's a mil come up right and you gather everyone together so who's going to go out to work first the Cohens gonna say anybody who built the house and hasn't lived in it yet anybody who planted a vineyard hasn't drank from the wine anybody got married and hasn't told the first year and anybody who's afraid of sin go who's left just a few people you know I think there was a play you - a play by the secular state with the first huh you speak ok you're in Europe before the state law so they made it like it's a real big joke and they called everyone together and then they started calling out you know they played the mushiya kind whoever has this issue Evers that is should go home and who's left two or three elderly Hasidic Jews the long pass the black garb and you know they made fun of us but who went out so he says like this who's gonna who's gonna go out to war only mas Amos bar only a very few who are they that's a T came the righteous keylolo yah connect em key mesh cod Ishihara it says if only one person never said Keith takes a when you go out he takes a singular when you singular go out holla Neera Neera moitie man anything that we when we go out according to them we appear as if with just a few people baby baby in the meanwhile you /ms row God sends his help his assistance sure are you mute sail a whoring Cana Sheen God produces a shade against the mountains and it looks like a whole army is descending on the enemy and they run away do you know about the what's the club at the feet gun of Canada there's a devika square here Jerusalem and you'll see a mold of cement of a devika Canada now that cannon I have to tell you saved the war but did far too much I know what it did it made a huge noise that's all did that wasn't the plan the plan was whoever invented it that it should be effective in shooting a projectile in the direction the enemy but I don't I think it was a dud the dud mommies didn't send anything but it made a huge bang at least that's what the enemy said they thought it was nuclear nuclear to understand this is how a sham plays the game not us we just do it was supposed to do and hope for the best but a Shem is there and that the Vika can save the war so where we get so he says that Hashem causes the shade to appear in the eyes of the enemy on the mountains as if they're people I mean you can imagine right how the shade would come down on the mountain and it's if you have like a hundred thousand people running them down the mountain the line is just getting thicker and thicker as it says now go to 2nd Kings chapter 7 verse 6 and that you should find the number 3 on your source she look what happened now the Lord had caused the aramean cap to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses the sound of a great army here's what does she's I hear and they said to one another behold the king of Israel has hired for us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us I mean they really believe that and this was just the choreography that Hashem had set up to make them believe that there was mercenaries huge armies coming against them look at Rashi oh this verse it seemed to them as though they were actually hearing it yeah guys are your thing okay so here you have truth makan Ryan feel of our team Icarus very cool Mario table almost kilo a Robin that even when a small amount goes against the made them the massive army God makes it appear to the nations as if there were a lot of us Kadima hath he done in order to scare them that's why it says in our verse right high tariffs Sam elmer fudd as you were seemingly as you're approaching them it says huh you're not approved you're not you're not there yet the Casa de beyond that cuffed it is in the beginning of that word it's going on its go it's it's actually right Russian Robin as if you were many remember we said carafe hem as if you the many are approaching them it's like literally the word even though you out singular you have just a few it will appear as if there are the many coming against the enemy saying shut em near in kuraby it seems like you're a massive army alpha P Sheila Thea I met even though according to the truth ain't no king that's not the case you're just a small group here 10 Hamas and this up until now he claims is a hey Russia car which is very typical the clear car so now we're on verse 3 where it says the Oh Merle ahem Sh'ma Israel the Cohen Misha walk the Mosuo ha ha says hear o Israel so what does that remind you of Rashi says a funeral aim be our camels hood krishma Bovada in other words what if we don't have to dig him like what's considered a Sadiq all you have to have is the slice up that's all you have you can still fight you imagine we're not talking about something keeps it a game but I'm not a simple Jew the only thing he knows this Sh'ma Israel he could still fight after Chris mom Ilsa suit Artie he is a rhetorical question is just the ability to say Christmas such a small thing it sounds like I know it's like the minimum minimum minimum it's such a small thing no near the far edge you know what it sounds like a car who to fill gibberish what does it say not to fill in we have these little black boxes we wear our hat what's inside the tefillin Schmeisser the we go to war we wear the tefillin the filling of the arm is covered the tefillin of the Roche is visible inseam and we're gonna see a little verse one that's very shortly and Mustafa inner coree came i'll you did fill it that we have this notion that we should not be false witnesses when we say SH man the morning miss teschmacher ice a day the ones at night we don't wait to tour the night so we say SH MA we should those be wearing our tefillin and if we end up saying if we end up where how to fill it we say snob they go hand in hand you can't you shouldn't do one without the other you need two witnesses right two witnesses so you have to fill it and you have the Shema and it says surely ik a made a douche a kirby optimal one should not be a false witness one himself by wearing one and not having one and not the other hey Dylan Shapiro show and it's through this tefillin that's on one's head people a must of a on arriving falls eight great sense of fear right that's what where do you dread on the enemy now look at this is Deuteronomy 28 verse 10 so you have to find that on this or she it's number four it says that all the peoples of the earth will see that the name of the Lord is called upon you and they will fear you Veruca Mijares a shame a shame my kruglikov the euro me maja okay so this is talking about the tefillin of the rush because that's going to be visible when you go out to war this will cause the enemy to have dread and fear upon us and Gomorrah Hustler says a little chip arose this is talking about the tefillin of the head with the bars are you through him come on we need this when we go out to work shiseru has so named the uranium that our enemies the ones who hate us will see it and they will fear from us off Krishna shall Lyla even when we say Krrish my knight what is it there for so you might say we're talking about the the night time before you go to bed we say it again a third time it saves one from demons were from dangerous forces at night Kasim jamaat's only promise vehicle maja belt which is interesting because that's where treaters terrorists Komatsu minimus just like it saves us from demons and terror at night it saves us from our enemies I share KO hum in sari Shamala whose actual strength comes from their ministering angels above now I want you to know we've talked about this before that before any war is actually fought on this planet Earth it's first fought in the spiritual realms by the ministering angels I don't have the plastic in front of me we talked about in the battle with Sisera okay so you can look it up over there the some poo that's why we have this krishma that's why the what do we call them do the coin is referring to the krishma there is actually a verse referring to when we go at night right at night why we saying so look on we're talking about in numbers 22 24 is that right yeah it's really the last part of the verse behold a people that rises like a lioness and raises itself like a light it does not lie down until it eats its prey and drinks the blood of the slain in other words when we go to war we're saying krishma we're wearing out to fill it we are mighty beasts keep shooting me down understand Istanbul comma up until now you would think everything is talking about a real war a real physical war however in Gomorrah Bravo it says lay lob yardies other meats or toes I'll eat sera a man should take his good nature his good inclinations and conquer his bad or negative inclinations okay and remember we have we sir it says you should love Hashem with all your hearts lavaca had you've two hearts it says with all your hearts you throw your hearts that's how they translated because it really means hard but it's got two bets because you have two sides of your are two inclinations okay and your your evil inclinations should become subdued or overrun or overpowered by your good inclination so in psalms chapter 4 verse 5 quake that's the word we had here rig zu like have this overwhelming strength of right and do not send quake and do not sin say this in your heart on your bed and forever be silent we're gonna take this verse and break it down so quick and do not sin if everything is not if you quake and do not sit in other words we'll cover the Quakers right in America they have crackers but we're the shakers we're the Quakers and the shakers so if you do that and you have this overcome your nature hatov you it's basically you take your good nature and get angry with your bad nature another idea also God wants you to serve him with your all your nature with every type of character trait that God gives you you serve him with if that goes well mu tov great in love if not learn Torah as it says in rule bill buff Kent if that goes well great if not read the krishma as it says this is all part of the verse right you should say in your heart that's what it means by reading the Torah and if not read the krishma which says upon your bed and if that if everything goes great perfect but if not you should remember the day of your death and that is the reference at the last part of the verse of forever being silent so you got it so far we took our verse remembered psalms four or five so quake and do not sit that's how you should try this is what the verse this has been this is King David how do you not sing the fear of God quick take your good part and overcome your bed if you can't do that say in your heart learn Torah on your bed save the schwa and be forever silent think about the day of your death our Baylor these four stages as mentioned in our partial when it says when you go out if this is in verse 23 okay it's on a source sheet I think verse 23 10 so maybe I didn't give it down yeah it's number seven when a camp goes out against your enemies you shall be wet beware of anything evil doesn't mean beware you should guard yourself against anything evil keep tapes a mouse on a toy like that huh the new smart tummy called davara you should guard yourself against anything evil Rashi says because the sub time because the negative forces come and grab you they persecute you at a time of danger and the keep drugs their high military etc this accusation or the the the persecution is that the Sutton is using your state's engagement and awry your evil inclination by the way the Sutton is you get Sahara it's also the Angel of Death it's one negative force he's trying to make a person sit in work we have a whole story of the Yaphet are when a man goes out to war and he sees a beautiful woman eat right you know I'm gonna tell you guys something so bad for you we just got done talking about war never once in the history of Israel has a Jewish soldier ever been accused of raping the enemy are you aware of that and more than that I want to show you how dastardly anti-semitic and full of thick news these people are they take it and turn it around say you know why did yous have never raped us because they're racist yes they think of us as it's so low like a rat that they would never touch us that's how the weird different speed you understand we should be praised the United Nations for the most moral army that ever existed and they say it's racist thank you very much okay so what does you know that all the other armies have been accused always I mean we had we have a Chinese girl who live who learns with us and she said in the 400,000 women she went to Japan enter China 400,000 women were sold as sex slaves to wait after they were used they were all killed I mean okay I'm not trying to say rape is not as bad being killed but after they raped them and saw them in slavery and used them and abuse them they had until that's just one we know we can read the newspapers we hear the news we know what's going on we know what happens we know what happened in Vietnam I mean the immorality that just brought the army down we lost the war and the weekday you know the American army so what happens the hrrahh comes against you the sudden comes against you and tries to get you the sin during work a place of Sakana wherever it's dangerous it really has a good place there Canella happy vivillon evolve in order to make you fall by the enemy every what bilham bow up they tried to do they couldn't curse us it didn't work so they say had a default Plan B let's get them to sin we can't curse them but I bet that if we can get them to sin God will be angry and that'll be is like the curse the results will be the same alkane the milk imatra car them Yoder schmira therefore during war which is a type of danger a man needs to be more careful to follow the rules remember we said would admit when the camp goes out to war if the garden stuff against anything evil so a man needs to be even more careful against the it's alright when he goes to war a place of danger because it's Midgar ever Adam Yoda but Malcolm out there there's even more provocation vibe by the gates and hurrah by the evil inclination when a man is in such a place than any other place you can just imagine have you ever gone to a shooting range I mean I I have I mean I was in the Israeli army and we know your adrenaline is going you're shooting an automatic the machine gun and you're doing like you know running around and she's just mashing the old days with that swards today everyone just pushes buttons you know when you're out there man you're trembling is going and and you can imagine then you see these women who their husbands have just been killed or captured you know a lot of tremblings go a lot of uh chemistry's going through the body and it's very hard to stop these these people but this is something that has to be stopped the total the davara the man in war is it flying to do even more evil that's why this has I'll tell us this verse says this verse in the Gomorrah that it's right here finish Martha me call Deborah that you have to guard yourself against anything evil then what does it mean should look a higher other than BOV I believe the caribou Lila that we're not talking about a spiritual war we're talking about a spiritual word that a man has to fight on a daily basis what you see during the day could cause you nocturnal emissions at night you've to guard yourself the key doctor the shots milliwatts our sleeves I hear is it only during time of worthy to be careful the lobe is my life here not any other time know with absolute certainty the features of milk come on you to arrive macabre feel tears true during the war the Yates O'Hara even comes against you even stronger hey Madhava everything de Bashara Vera's it doesn't matter if it's sexual or not kedai lab can't be I dive up in order to bring you down in front enemy alkane love dumb Tyra therefore they should learn teres you Meszaros even you'll come out oh you made Connecticut's Rob you should learn Torah to fight against your enemy who's your enemy or you Yates are I'm sure UVM Lee they say from alchemist Akana so that doesn't bring you to a sin especially in a very dangerous place and you should know that the book called the akkada he brings down and many other before him as well that he saw he says that the explanation Shapira should call i'm milca mulch the partial zoo the explanation of this word that's happening is really to be explained as a new home of an atom in mutro the war that's taking place i like these words an internal jihad it's it's about the internal war that's what it's all about the deborah's ever hope nucleotide laho team across to shoot up he feels this is so far from reality to say that it's only talking about this that it's actually he's going to conclude that's talking about both two levels yes it's talking about a real war but don't think it's only talking about a we were all this is analogous to what is a man and i say a man a person is battling inside every day of the year i'll just read his words well masha Kasab new mask you mean shooter because i've what equates the way we write it we can agree with both aspects external war and internal laura had erica Sharbel you not close to teach you what if you want to wit the war against your external enemy who cuz you slay me my st. Benilde come on only when you were complete with yourself inside that's the only way if you separate yourself from sin you will be victorious on the x enemy as well you start out my charity begins at home and that's why it says the Hayek Corral Campell nahama as if you're approaching the enemy the the war with the enemy attend your aim in alone chalo yak shoeless come hey Yates aha you should fear from your sin that it shouldn't cause you a downfall and what is that could your yesternight record you did doubtful let me just explain something else we know that bilham and Barak right not only do they want to curse the Jews did I say this already I'm getting mixed up so basically they caused the Jews to sin with these prostitutes in order to bring them down so who's this key who has certain mccottry Mahaska nah it's the Sutton that's coming at the time of danger is the Gorga more you Shami says oh yeah Oscar Patara the remedy you should involve yourself in Scripture and Turner and that's why it says the knee gotcha Cohen Vadim Ariella the Cohen approaches and speaks to the people now you know what a Gazzara shava Cazares shava is only learned from Moses from Mount Sinai as a tradition that a word over here somewhere in the Torah and the same word appears somewhere else in the Torah there is no real relationship that you could see them see and perceive yet we have a tradition that something applies here and something applies there let's call the Gazzara shove up so it says over here Madiba l homme speak to the people D bear L R and the law is you have to speak la Chimere kodesh when when you pray you can pray any language you want all right you learn Torah we're learning in any language anyone but when you the Cohen gets up there and speaks to that it has to be in Hebrew and we learn the Gazzara shava from where because it says in Exodus 19 X's 1919 says the sound of the chauffeur grew increasingly stronger Moses would speak and God would answer him with a voice in the Hebrews says that mojeid a bear so we see there's just like a man Torah when we saw and perceived experiences revelation it was an Ebru Russian a kodesh so - that's the Leawood ok fine but there must be more the zoo in Marla Harlem blushing coda is just like over there at the revelation it was an emu so to hear the Cohen but the the clear car wants to say we don't do half-measures when it comes to cos air shower what applied there applies here and vice versa there's got to be a cross in both directions so just like over there it was Talmud Torah learning Torah I've got here to the coward who's speaking to the people is gonna be speak to them Torah he has an obligation to speak to them Torah and and listen to this when Joshua went out to war he was negligent in a p.m. in the period of time where he was not learning Torah and an angel comes to him and wants to slay him and it says the Joshua chapter 5 verse 14 and it was when Joshua was in Jericho they lifted up his eyes and his soul be any Psalm behold the man was standing opposite him with this words running head when there's a man opposite you with a sward drawed he wants to kill you so josh is wondering what did i do that i'm guilty of the death penalty and the the angel told him you weren't learning torah a man was stopping standing opposite okay fine and he said to them are you for us or for our adversaries if you're not learning torah then where are you were you standing with the good side of the bad side so he says a table Bhati now I have come for the sin of vigil Torah I'm coming there because if you weren't learning to her he comes to shots of Sakata he comes at the time of danger to accuse you of what you did so that the read the reason for this matter is the Talmud Torah is actually my game the audience run the learning scripture guards you against your evil nature it's like so simple I saw Tom mccottry video to be shaza Socata that the sudden comes especially at a very dangerous time in the pool I nation AHA Adams Shane a mentor now let's say we have the war and we have people going out to war who are not you see the students they're not meant are they don't learn all day he laughs cool a ometer Torah Theory maybe they don't want to tell all the time you can't Oh some people fit betting in not salute the cowboy if any means ever no come on how are these people who are like let's say regular people they're not Torah scholars how are they expected to be saved against the hand of their enemy against an internal enemy at a time of war that's why it says schmeyer al the cow in majula screams schmeyer out to tell them listen say now say it now this is all Fatima Torah this is Torah Schmeiser meaning the read Krishna the army before they go out they should say Shamar now share how Co yo team the croco because every June knows MA they might not know who Moses his wife was right they might know I mean they had this old thing when I first became religious did you know who Jesus's mother was do you know who Moses his mother was and like you get like the only half the tests you know so you know you accept UT cheaper but each Atari yeah okay so everyone knows how to reach my biz egg in knots Nakula Mero Spyro slave and that's going to save them from the defeat of the enemy V below your merits now what if you have real eager Abbas's there are some Jews that really don't even know Shema a feel of creation ahead of you there aaseesh coaching horas I sure you throw a rock house like me Meno or maybe you have such a stiff neck stubborn Jew whose gate Sahara is so strong well your should Nicole he doesn't know anything he doesn't know Torah and he doesn't know pretty smart I started like a skewer Yama Misa then you remind him of Dave's death if you go back to the example into our text it's the box that I number from verse 5 down to verse 9 yeah so the the officers speak to the people who's the wise men who's built a new house is not inaugurated let him go return to his house lest he die in were just hearing those words lest he die in war and another man will inaugurate it and who's the man who planted a vineyard and not redeem it let him go return to his house lest he die in war and someone else another man will redeem it and who's the man who drove the woman and not married her let him return to his house last he died it's like drilling it in right lest you die in war we have we know him in mislay you for you're faced with going to a wedding or to a funeral which one is supposed to choose it says in mich lights as a proverbs to bright the righteous person the wise one we go to the funeral and not to the feast ok so you have right there what is this supposed to do you know the 8th Sahara can't deal with a dead person it needs you alive that doesn't want to kill you it's the last thing he wants okay wearing so he says Sh'ma and as vada also certainly the gates are around will run away at that point no dude we started out by saying right Torah oh no we started by saying your Yeats or hatov should overcome you - hurrah if that doesn't work the Lord turn if that doesn't work douche MA and if that doesn't work think about the day of your death so it's all here how can I show too much Mir therefore the officer says I'm a leisure share Bona buy it right Pena Mutombo come on like I read whoever built a house within living it lest he die more well Sammy Sesshomaru ma use garages a gun stun yo Lovisa just by mentioning in the war that you know this is also talking about you yama mesa and through that hopefully you'll overcome you Nate - hurrah with absolute certainty now this is a very famous verse that you go to Genesis chapter 4 verse 7 a lot of people are not aware of this but God tells man there's way before the Torah right this is Cain who just killed his brother Abel and now he's all depressed because he said it is not that is it not so that if you improve yourself it will be forgiving you this is a rhetorical question God knows the answer if you work on your character that's enough to be forgiven for your sin if you do not improve however at the entrance sin is lying meaning in ambush so if you don't work on yourself there's no spirituality only works right if you're not stagnant you either going up or you going it down okay so if you're workers of great if not it's gonna get you it's it's waiting to pounce and we same the entrance we're going to talk about that sin is blind but guess what to you is its longing it wants to kill you it wants to overcome you but what you drool over it gallery tells you you can rule over your evil explanation so what does it mean but it says that sin is when it says here at the entrance sins light-years cool or pet tuck it bro you should remember the opening the entrance of your grains as a pee even though it's desire is against you nevertheless you can't overcome it and that's what it's being called that's what you've been told to do now put into the way that the rabbi's dharshan out if you look in Ecclesiastes right Ecclesiastes 9:5 the high am you doing she makes it it's the living who know they're going to die I'm telling you I had a friend he's still alive today in fact he's in China he's in Hong Kong actually and he's living it up eight years ago he was diagnosed with cancer he was ill only had six months to live and you know what I told him I said you're the luckiest man in the world you know why cuz you know you're gonna die we all live our lives like we're gonna live forever and we never get anything done you know what he did he took all his money and he spent it all going around the world for six months and you know what this eight years later and broke a shed his son is very wealthy Barajas Chad okay now the guy I marry will tell you the different surgeries he's had and different different situations he's really lucky you know what they you know in in other religions they also send the priest in with the guys dying right and they give the last rites you know we do in Judaism it's very difficult we want them to confess how do you get something to confess if you tell them listen dude you're dying you got to confess the guy's going to die right away he's gonna like I'm dying here thanks for the prognosis doctor like no you don't you tell him many people have been in your position they have confessed and they have lived a lot of long life you know you don't get him down get him up because it ain't the end but if you confess you have a chance not to me you don't confess to me confess - yeah and many people have confessed anyway you have to use a lot of what they call dead bedside manners and so then it says so who are the people who are life there's no they're gonna die so he came you know what it says about sadly came the righteous wow they're dead when they die they're still alive you know it says about the evil while they're alive they're already dead so who's alive they know they're going to die the righteous meaning shielding she Musa they know they're gonna die alkanes it Rania Lamesa Tommy therefore they're always thinking about the day of their death it's can the negative name it's somehow like what is the same for adults do repentance one day before you die the day before your death so that means today and then tomorrow again in the next day because you don't know each other I do Trula one day before you die I mean nobody knows what we're gonna die so but you know you're gonna die you don't know where and guess what what else to say so this this thing will save you from sin this is the way to save yourself from sin and it said what's the rest of the verse the amazing ain't him you DUII Mumma the dead don't know anything at all right the live people know they're gonna die and the dead know nothing we're talking about evil people while they're alive they're called dead should I pick I am cremation while their lives are called dead and if you want proof and it's in Ezekiel I'm sorry it's in your Tesco yes Eskenazi code the same time yeah look at that okay Ezekiel 2130 and you a wicked man sentence to be slain the wicked are already considered dead that it goes on Oh Prince of Israel whose day has come at the time of the final iniquity so they're already considered dead sure boyo moba eight base of on Kate's meaning to say the racheting don't know anything at all they don't know better end Kings it on your mother's they're not thinking about the day of their death and it's not against their eyes at all then it's not in their consciousness they think you can only forever hi sure but yomo the ace iphone case meaning to say what's the last part whose day has come at the time is final NIC wa t on account of this sin he's going to die keel is the truncate shall only negative claw not like dove it dove it actually prayed what does it say in Psalms 39 five O Lord let me know my end and the measure of my days God did not answer he did tell him he without Shabbat but dove it makes sure right that he'd never stopped learning for even a second and he got distracted for one second he died and like dove it said ho da mean Hashem keep see let me know my end here bomb the tame au lait olam that is part of the witch verses that this part is Dover to Melek right which means it's the beginning part in their heart their houses are forever in other words according to the way the Russia thinks that their houses are forever this particular author the clear car gave great rebuke to the people of Prague he was the robbed of product between the time of the morrow and the slaw the small cottage was the rough of Prague after him so he was between two the greatest rabbis that ever lived and he was the chief rabbi of the same city between the two and why am I telling you this oh because he had very wealthy people he constantly said why are you building these great mansions these houses you're not taking him with you to grave just go to Eretz Israel go days or even it was very difficult then it was a big lover of the lands of Israel and not a great lover of this world but anyway I wish everyone a great Shabbos [Music]
