The Prophetic Timeline Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes | Rabbi Tovia Singer - Living Inspired

We are living in a time when we can hear the footsteps of the Messiah now. It's everything is unfolding [music] today. It has to be an order of events that unfold. That's what's unfolding now. And we're we're in the midst of it. There's no question in my mind that it's not that I believe Mashiach is coming. You have to listen very carefully. He's here. I think as children, we think that when the Messiah comes, we'll hear the trumpets in Zion. will a larger the prophet will come and say [music] sheh is coming tomorrow and well let's go we're moving so that would be a nightmare why because we need to see that there's a seder there's an order of events to arouse people to repent >> we're living in the most critical moment for the Jewish people yet something is blocking the gula what if what's blocking the gula is actually a trap today we'll watch Rabbi Tuvia singer explain [music] what the gula trap is and this changes everything. Let's have a look. >> There is no sign, no sign of the restoration of the permanent restoration of the Jewish people say the land that's greater than the land itself. Remember something we've talked about often is that if you if you were making up a Bible, you would never write Tanakh because if you're not God, you can't control the weather and you cannot control the fertility of the land. You would tell people you're going to go to hell if you don't listen to me. That's what you would do. That would frighten people and if you're not God that you can't test it out. But as it turns out, the flourishing of the land at the end of days is the greatest sign that the final restoration is here. There's no greater sign than this. Nothing. Nothing. You look at the land when probably America's greatest writer, humorist in the late 19th century visited Aril and he wrote his work innocence abroad. You could see how he described it. nothing like it is. There was nothing. The place was a nightmare. But the the the land should give forth its fruit and should flourish for the children of Israel. This is very very clear. The land is barren prior to the restoration of Jews. In a sense, the Jews, the Jewish people, the nation of Israel and the land were one species. You know what? What is the definition of a species? We're so connected. It's like we're married to each other. So, what is how do you define a species? So, scientists really attempt [snorts] to provide a definition of how do you say these two are from the same species, these two creatures, these two animals. So the the best explanation for a species is that two animals are of the same species is that they can easily make babies. They could they can easily make babies and they're of the same species. If not the same species, then it's not not easy or impossible. Okay? As it turns out, only the nation of Israel could make the land pregnant. That's it. Other people were here and they try to make babies with the land and the land refused to give forth its fruit for other nations. But here's the big question. If in fact the land is giving forth its fruit and this is the redemption, what is holding back? What is the gula trap? Check out this next clip. This really comes from the from the Talmud and Tractic Tubot where the Talmud provides this as three oaths. Three God swears three things. But these three oaths of a prohibition have a corollary of a necessity and I need to explain. So we're told that there's a prohibition that when the exile of the Jews are coming to an end, the Jewish people, I'm going to rephrase this, cannot do what other nations did. Please, if you're Catholic, don't be angry at me. If you're Muslim, don't be angry at me. But other nations came and conquered the land of Israel like uh the Muslims did in the seventh century. They came in and conquered the land of Israel. They came from outside of Erdrol with armies and they came into the land of Israel and took it over. Okay. uh the first crusade which was the French crusade they came they these Christian armies uh came to in 1099 they completely took over so they came from with armies outside of Israel they came into Israel and that's how the Muslims and the Christians conquered the land of Israel at different times because throughout history. This land was conquered many, many times back and forth. They took it from each other. The Muslims have been here. There was the Ottoman Empire. I don't need to go through all of it with you. It's over back and forth. The Christians held on to this place for about a century or so. We're not allowed to do that. We cannot come battle from outside of the land of Israel with armies to come into the land of Israel. And we're This is an atonement. This is absolutely forbidden. But the army has to be already inside the land of Israel. It cannot fight away. I don't know going south from Turkey and coming to Israel. He can't do the Jews of Turkey are not allowed to do that. Another um is that we're not allowed to be mid which means to rebel against the in this process which means against the nations of the world. must be a consensus of the world, a vote of the world nations of the world's nations and we go after the majority. There had to be a vote of the world's nations in which a majority would decide that there should be a Jewish state. There has to be with the acquiescence of the nations of the world. And in fact, this United Nations partition plan which occurred on the 29th November 1947, that was critical as far as the Talmud is concerned because we're not allowed to create a state where the majority of the world's nations vote against it. So that was critical. We may look at this as just an oddball event in history. It was an odd bull event in history where the vote ultimately was uh 33-13. And then the final element of this the nations of the world must oppress the Jews more than we deserved. Its correlary is that the nations of the world are forbidden to oppress the nation of Israel more than we deserve. And this of course is Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah chapter 30:7. Jeremiah 30:7 tells us that there will be at this it's messianic chapter before this. Now Jeremiah lived in a really bad time. So it's not like Jeremiah is looking into the future, something much worse. Jeremiah lived during the destruction of the first temple, right? The Babylonian destruction of the first temple. But Jeremiah is looking far into the future. And he's saying that there will be an asarily. There will be a time of tribulation for Jacob and there'll be nothing like it. But from the great tribulation, you will be you will be saved. Your redemption and your restoration will occur. So those are precursor events. There are many people who who interpret these who misunderstood these things. And there are people who get offended when I say that and they should not. They should not because you have to go according to the prophets in Tanakh. You can't and I think people who misunderstand these things are misunderstanding them because they feel like a certain rabbi can't be wrong or can't be mistaken. And that's a mistake. And I pun intended in a sense I'm going to share something I never shared with you in my life. There is something very odd in Tanakh. There are people in Tanakh who are prophets. The Nim were the were the greatest men and women that ever lived. They are the greatest examples of humanity that ever existed. The greatest. According to our tradition, there were 1.2 million Nivem prophets that lived in history. Only a small number of the of their prophecies survived because for most part prophets lived where they were speaking to their generation, but what they were teaching were not was not relevant to future generations. This is very intriguing. This is going to surprise you. So, you want to just put down your cell phone. There are times when prophets actually made mistakes and miscalculations. Now, they were not speaking in prophecy. People just asked them what they thought and God wasn't speaking to them. These were the greatest people that ever lived or they were trying to interpret what they were observing but they were not receiving prophecy and they made mistakes and God told them right away you're making a big mistake change. Okay, I can give you quite a number of examples of this but I'll give you two. You should all be familiar with them. 2 Samuel chapter 7. Nathan thinks that David's request to build the basic the temple should be honored and he said go ahead and he's told immediately go back and tell me he can't build it why is that important Daniel very famously miscalculates prophecies of Jeremiah two in particular 25:12 and 29:10 he conflates them and does and does not understand the redemption and this is recorded in Tanakh. Now listen very carefully. I know you're saying to yourself, "Okay, that's surprising. I thought prophets are perfect." They're perfect people, but a person cannot know the case, the end unless you have it from God. From God. And these people made the best possible decision based on what they were observing. And what they were observing for the best of their understanding was what they expressed. And Hashem right away jumped in and said, "Let me explain to you what's going on." In the case of in the case of Daniel, an angel Gabriel was sent to him to convey to him to correct him how to properly understand these passages. The question, my holy brothers and sisters, you should be on your tongue, is why is this recorded? Fine. I understand the point that a prophet is these are the greatest people that ever lived these men and women. But if they were giving their best opinion based on what they were observing and it happens to be it was not correct and God interceded why is that in the Bible? You remember what I've taught you? If it's in scripture that means it's relevant to every generation. You understand? It has to be relevant. So, how is this relevant? How and why? Why does the Bible record this? Why do I need to know this? Now, you figured out the answer already. I know you figured it out already. Because unless it's prophecy, forget about it. You can't make judgments. Unless it's prophecy, that's it. This is not a issue of Jewish law. And that's why you will not find it in these the issue of when Msiah comes and when they return to the land of Israel and the hisalta the beginning of the redemption. It's not in the code of Jewish law. Why not? Because it's nva and you have to go back to the novi. You have to go back and could a person mis who is the the greatest people who ever lived. Can they misapprehend what was happening for a wide variety of reasons in good faith? Yes, they can. And that's why you have to default back to prophecy. And that's why sometimes you have great people who were observing the same spectacle and had two opposite views regarding Israel, the state of Israel. They could have different, doesn't matter. It has to be from prophecy. And and here's where I think people get choked up. caught up on as they say if this person was really a great person then he can't be wrong. This is a mistake person could be very great but misinterpret events that are incurring in front of them. So my dear friends, so my dear friends, these are the the events that will ha will are the precursor events. The coming Messiah, the Jews must return before remember when the Messiah comes, there'll be no war, right? There'll be just use your head. When the Messiah comes, war will come to an end. There'll only be peace on earth. See Mika chapter 4. So there's wars and the Jews are returned back to land and they have an army, right? So therefore, this is a precursor. There's what's called ah you're going to tell me this rabbi said that and this right they're great people has nothing to do with that. And the proof is and notice holy brothers and sisters that what when the Tanakh records what might seem to be at first glance an embarrassing event meaning that a prophet misconstrued what he was observing or she was observing because it wasn't God didn't tell them these were just great people and they were doing the best they could. These are the greatest people. The answer is so if somebody misunderstands so they misunderstand has no bearing on their greatness. This is very important. I think people feel ah this rabbi is greater than that rabbi and therefore he must be correct. Mistake big big mistake. And remember the three vows that we find in the Talmud have a corollary and there are people who misunderstand who don't investigate the corollary. All three vows are turned on this point. And it is for this reason, my friends, that we are told in books like Ezra, it's really one book, that the first Jews who came to rebuild the second commonwealth were largely non-religious Jews who didn't even keep the Sabbath. Why is that in Tanakh? And why would God take a person probably a Zorastian, Cyrus, and take a person who's not a Jew, not a religious Jew, and he's the one that tells the Jews, "Go back to the land of Israel." It's all prophecy. That's why it applies today. When Messiah comes, there will be a in gathering of the exiles. Hashem will to the north, give back to the south, hold not back. Hashem will find you from the ends of the earth and bring you home. See Isaiah chapter 43. Very openly the return of the exiles and the lost tribes. Ezekiel chapter 37. The the vision that Ezekiel had whether it was a veritical or nonveritical of the dry bones that resurrect. We are told explicitly that this is a symbol, a sign of the resurrection and the restoration of Israel openly and take two sticks in your hand, one for Ephraim, one for Yehuda. Put them in your hand, they become one. The restoration of lost Jews from all over the world. It's the in gathering. And Ezekiel continues a chapter that's pregnant with Messianic prophecy. tells about the Messiah himself, calls him, identifies the Messiah as David, that's his name. And verse 24 and 25 tells us that the Jewish people will be keeping all the commandments when the true Messiah comes. The Messiah is called the NSI in Tanakh. Nussi, know that word Nussi, it means the prince. Okay? That word is used very frequently about Messiah in Tanakh. And it's used at the end of the book of Ezekiel, I believe, 21 times referring to Messiah. So, it's a big word. I want you to get to know it, holy brothers and sisters. Cuz some Why have to grab the hem of a Jew? What? Why? Jews wearing a shirt and the non-Jew has to grab it. Why do they grab Why can't they just walk over the Jew? Because Jews don't know what to do sometimes. I'm telling the Jews. I want to tell you, if you're not sure you're Jewish, not you assume you're not Jewish. Maybe you are, maybe you're not. Who knows? But Jews don't know how to handle those who embrace the Jewish faith. They're going to say, "We demand to know." And today, there's such a huge Noahide movement. These are people who embrace the Jewish faith. They don't join the Jewish nation, but they embrace the Jewish faith. It's huge today. I don't even know the numbers. In fact, there's a there are even dating there are Noahites who are single. Noahites who are single who want to marry another Noah. And I'm just telling you there's dating Noah.com. I'm not kidding. There's a whole site for people who are Noahides who want to marry someone else who's a No, who believes in the one God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Could you imagine dating Noah.com? Amazing. When the true Messiah comes, the most critical and central event that will unfold is that the whole world will know the truth. >> Thank you so much for watching. Please subscribe, like, and share.
