Through Israel the Heavenly Kingdom Will be Revealed with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

My [music] birthday [singing] [music] [singing] [music and singing] is may be controversial and I I don't know how to say it properly, but uh perhaps people like Candace Owens andQatar Carlson, right? Is that his name? Qatar Carlson. >> Qatar Carlson. >> Yeah. So maybe maybe they're right. That the Jews are running the world. Shalom everybody. Welcome back to the Yanabate Madrash. Welcome home to Torah. This is a great followup to Rabbi Flax's class on Shashanis Yakov in a big way. First of all, let me just introduce the idea here. We're using the rein which is written by Rahim Freellander on the Tilus of Yim which are the prayers for the high holidays. Of course, when we pray for the on during those days, those days of awe, we're dominating for the whole year. We're dominating with a concept of hashk hashkafa the worldview that a Jew should have all year round. So if I'm correct we're starting on the bottom of oh by the way will bizm have a megilla reading I'll give you the for those who are in the area we'll pass around the uh the schedule. Um, but we're also collecting matanisim to distribute to the poor and there'll be a link below if you want to donate and also for sasheko. So the words we we we say these words in our prayer as is written in your holy writings. It's actually in Psalms 146:10. So remember this is the verse we're going to be dealing with a lot. Hallelujah. Which is basically Hashem will reign forever. That's el Godion Zion. Lor means forever. Hallelujah. Praise be the Lord. That is going to be the focus. He claims from these from this PK which is this PK there are two proofs of what of our hashkafa of what we are well first of all what we are aspiring looking towards and it's interesting that we're living in interesting times and it could be very well that these things are coming about right now. So the first idea of what we have a vision for the future proof is according to what we say and this is right we said this earlier that you Hashem will reign alone that's what we pray for and it's coming from this verse the verse says Hashem will reign forever ever. Okay. So that's all in Psalms 146:10. And also according to what we say that on Mount Zion, the abode of your honor and in Jerusalem, the city of your holiness. That's what we're aspiring for. >> [snorts] >> And that's what it means when in this verse when we said your god O Zion what is Zion by the way is a marker right that's why on on a grave right it's on a marking on the side of a book it's a marker Zion the Jewish people are the markers we are the uh everything is graded by us whether it's the world is going well. The world is not going well. We spoke earlier about when Asaf is up. Well, actually, it works the other way. It's when Israel, it's all depends on Israel. It's not like when Asav is up, we're down. It's they're responding to whatever we do. If we're up, which means we're doing the mitzvah, we're doing what God wants. We're doing the Hashem, then as we're not doing the proper thing, then they're up. Okay? It's a response. They're only responding. We don't respond to them. They respond to us. And I want to say on a certain level, I know this may be controversial and I don't know how to say it properly, but uh perhaps people like Candace Owens andQatar Carlson, right? Is that his name? Qatar Carlson. >> Qatar Carlson. >> Yeah. So maybe maybe they're right that the Jews are running the world, right? Maybe they're right. And wait till you see what's going what's going to be here. It seems according to the freelander that you don't need these words just right. could have just written Hashem, King David could have just written it that Hashem will reign forever for all generations. Hallelujah. What does the words your God O Zion add? What is that all about? The intent of this verse is right. They want to know if we're the real Jews. Think about history over 2,000 years. [snorts] Who would want to be a Jew? No, seriously. The the bastin when people convert, they say to him, "Are you sure you want to join the persecuted people? >> They're out of their minds. >> They're out of their minds." So like, who wanted to be a Jew except for the Jews? Uh the truth is like this. All the other religions, they're replacement theology. So they do want to be the Jews without the persecution, right? There's a price to be paid. So here it says the idea of this verse is not just that the kingdom of heaven will return and will reign forever. But where exactly where does the revelation of God take place? Where does this um this expression manifest? Where is it manifest other than inside of what we're going to call Zion which is really it's really means all of Israel but specifically as well. Now, there was a footnote. No, you hear this Candace andQar Carlson that if you believe you're we believe in the Bible, right? The same Bible that we believe in. So, so to speak, that in the future all the nations, they're going to come to recognize Baraku, the Holy One. Blessed be he. Yes, the God of Israel, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. and they're going to come to believe in him. And in addition to this, they're going to come to recognize the kingdom of heaven. I would say drum roll, please. But they're going to understand, they're going to recognize the presence of the it's mainly where resting on the Jewish people and on a place called or whatever stands for alam and by way through them through the Jewish people and through then it will be revealed and accepted by all the nations all over the world in every place and then Hashem's name will be glorified and sanctified hashem that the Jewish people Israel the nation of Israel is the nation of God he hashem and is the city of God they will rec come to recognize it Jordan Peterson was in Israel he gave a speech and he spoke about the city on the hill and he spoke about us being like the canary and the man in the mine but basically we set the standards. We set the bar. Everyone knows there's a double standard when it comes to us. Why? Because we're held to a higher esteem whether you like it or not Jews in this room. We are that's just what we are. We have a lot of responsibility and we should use the Torah as the guide book and through the Jewish people. That is where the perfection of creation comes in to play in terms of serving Hashem because we are the servants of Hashem. the prophets, the prophets, the ancient uh sages, they went at length, they spoke at length about all the nations coming up to Jerusalem. And I'm going to go through some of the verses. They're not on the page. Um, all the rulers and kings and the officers is they will serve AmIrael. No, in what? Because we're a cle. We're a vessel and they're a vessel to a vessel. They're serving Hashem. How is the best way to serve Hashem? Is to serve the priesthood. And that's what Israel is called. AmI is you hear this? It was it's a Jewish people because we clung cleaved. We had this intimate relationship. We didn't leave God during this long and dark exile habri. Therefore, the Jewish people are the crown of creation. name is and we will be you we will beim to Hashem. Now this is interesting because we were supposed to be every single one of us were supposed to be high priests but because of our sins we didn't get there but in the future every one of us are going to be high priests there's a pekk here in Isaiah 61 5 and 6. Uh, I'll read it in English first. Foreigners will stand and tend to your flocks. And the sons of the stranger, that's the non-Jews, will be your plowmen, and your vineyard workers. And you will be called priests of Hashem. Ministers of our God will be said of you. You will eat of the wealth. You hear this, Candace? Don't complain. You will eat of the wealth of the nations and will pride yourselves in their glory. In Hebrew, the amduarim that the nations on their own, we're not going to coersse them. Whoever's left at the time after the war of Gamog or whatever you want to call the end days, whoever's left, they on their own because they are the ones who survive. They're the ones the believers, the real believers. They will stand up on their own. They're going to tend your flocks and the children of the non-Jews, the Gentiles, children, and grandchildren. They're going to be your plowmen and your uh vineyard workers. And it says, "You will be called the priests of Hashem and the ministers of our God." That's what they're going to say. So, you might as well, right? If you can't beat them, join them. Yeah. That's what's uh to be maybe before we go and I'll I'll give you some of the verses because these are famous verses. Everyone should know. Um let me start with uh Isaiah 2:es 2-4 but forgive me it's very small print and it will happen in the end of days. It will happen in the end of days. The mountain of the temple of Hashem will be firmly established as the head of the mountains and it will be exalted above the hills and all the nations will stream to it. Many peoples will go and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of Hashem, to the temple of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For from Zion, this is a very famous verse, for from Zion will the Torah come forth, and the word of Hashem from Jerusalem." Okay, another verse, Zakaria, chapter 14. Chapter 14 verse 16-19. And it shall be that all who are left over from all the nations who had invaded Yaim will come up every year to worship the King Hashem, master of legions, and to celebrate the festival of Sukkot. And it shall be on and it shall be that whichever of the families of the land do not go up to Ushion and da and bow down before the king Hashem, master of legions, there will be no rain upon them. Okay, it goes on and on. You get the idea. Another verse in Mika 4:es 1-5 and that says like this. It will be at the end of days. It will be in the end of days that the mountain of the temple of Hashem will be firmly established as the most prominent of the mountains and it will be exalted above the hills and the peoples will stream to it. Many nations will go and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of Hashem and to the temple of the God of Jacob and he will teach us his ways and we will walk in his paths. For from Zion shall go forth the Torah and the word of Hashem from you shalim." Okay, there's a lot of other verses we're going to get to in the subnotes. Let me just read subnote 21 regarding the the the word from there will go forth not just light not just teachings right instructions the actual instructions will go out to the entire world as we saw in that verse right we said from Zion shall go forth and that's where the happens from because he they'll recognize that he's the king over all and apparently at the end of days there will be a great um judgment over the evil people in a place called Emmit Yhoshaphat. Um just in terms of 22, did we get to that subnote yet? Remind me when we do. In the meantime, let's go forward where we left off. tell us we're gonna be really going to be priests. The theatorium writes on this verse the verse in Exodus 19:6 that says God says in Exodus 196 you will be to me a kingdom of priests. If we would have been if we would have merited we would have each one of us would have been high priests but we we didn't merit it but it's in Isaiah chapter 61 verse I think it's verse 6 where it says you will be called uh priests okay and through the Jewish people becoming great, Hashem himself becomes even greater. That's what it means when we say right and you will reign Hashem alone on Mount Zion the place of your glory the where your glory dwells the amra and the kingdom of heaven will be revealed specifically audion through and the Jewish people this revelation will happen in the future and it will be forever and that's why the PK says hallelujah it's for generations to come praise the Lord 22 don't pass >> okay so 22 brings down Isaiah 60:3 and it reads like this and the nations will walk in your light and the kings will walk in the radiance of your splendor. So the nations will come around full swing. Also chapter 60 verse 10 of Isaiah. And the children of the Gentiles will rebuild your walls and their kings will serve you. Like you just cannot mess around even the English. Also Isaiah chapter 60 verse14. And the sons of your oppressors, who are they? Will go to you submissively. You hear that, Candace? >> And all who scorned you will prostrate themselves to the souls of your feet, and they will call you city of Hashem, Zion, the Holy One of Israel. You believe in the Bible? It's all right there. The prophecies are coming true. We are believers. There is an additional explanation. There's a concept that this verse that we just were discussing could be divided into two promises and two stages. As we said, God will reign forever. Oh God, that in the future the kingdom of heaven is going to be forever. But the whole time that the final redemption did not happen yet, right? This is where we have to have a little bit of pity for these people. Right? that that it has not yet been revealed the full extent of the kingdom of heaven to everyone. Not every eye has seen it. But nevertheless, it will be forever. And through all of our dark and long exiles and all of our troubles like we're experiencing now. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Hashem is rock. We are required. It's necessary that we praise Hashem like we even saw today some disastrous tragedies happen. And yet the way I do see it, it's miraculous because what one ballistic missile could [snorts] do. Okay. And how many did they send at that one moment? 37 in one shot. >> Wow. We know one ballistic missile could kill hundreds of people. So even within the dark exile which we are in, we're still supposed to praise Hashem as as much as we can according to our abilities. However, nowadays right in our exile, we're praising Hashem only with part of the name, the Yudhe because why? You all know why, right? This has to do with that the final redemption will not come that Hashem is not complete. It's only the Yudhe. What about the V and the So, Hashem is not complete until we have wiped out the name of a Malik. You can see rashi at the very end of para's bishalak that would be on chapter exus 17:16 he explains this on that verse the hu meaning a malik is the whole time that a malik is still in existence that means evil is still in existence that means that the the full complete revelation of God is not complete. It's only in the future will be shale will have its full revelation. I I think I spoke about this last week at some point that the word mitzvah and the atbash did I speak about that? I want to drill it home. When every time we do a mitzvah, right, there's a cabalistic incantation where we ask that through doing this mitzvah that we're going to connect the yud and the he to the van and make Hashem's name complete. Meaning through the mitzvah, we're going to bring the revelation of God into the world on some level micro perhaps. Maybe enough micro it adds up to a macro. in atbash. Atbash is one of the many ways of doing gamatria. It's olif tough bet shin. It's why it's called atbash. If you look it up on Wikipedia, it'll tell you. It's an ancient Hebrew gamatria system where the a olive is equal to a tough in gamatria or even the letters can switch like an a you the olive you replace with a tough either it's one or it's 400 or the tough can becomes an af so with the bet and the shin and in fact when the Wikipedia page will say that the American army used the atbash against the Russian against the the Japanese it helped win the because it was like pig Latin. They use it as a code when they were communicating. Okay. I don't know through through um through uh writing. So the the the last two letters of mitzvah first of all what does the word mitzvah mean? It means to connect at sevit at sevit is a gush a bunch of people working for together. Rashi says in the in Shas in the Gmorrah that the word mitzvah means okay so is a group of people working with one goal or right one purpose whether it's to make money whether it's to keep the uh the co the the the customers happy they all have one goal right service whatever it is the word mitzvah the meadic in the atbash is yud so when we're doing a mitzvah The mitzvah itself is combining the yud which is in reverse order in inbash with the v. I mean it's it's really fascinating. There's so many fascinating things about the Hebrew language [snorts] and about the hashkaf itself. Mitzvah are opportunities to serve Hashem and to cleave to Hashem and to bring Hashem and godliness into the world. Now I just want to speak about quickly about the the migilla. We spoke about the king here. Hashem will be king. And Rabbi Flack spoke about it. Where do you see Hashem's name? It's really not there in the script, but there's a lot of illusions all over the place. Uh, one of the illusions are the word melik, king, and it's sometimes it's referring to sometimes it's referring to himself. There [snorts] are migillotes like the one I have where many of the tops of the column begins with the word melik and has crowns on it. beautiful adornments and this ratm this porum I don't know could happen soon I don't want to push it off any but could be this porum we will finally see the total decimation of a malik and um and the the revelation of hashem like the said over there until there is the erraial eraser I don't know how what the word is but eraser see we have an English uh teacher here eraser of a malik that's right uh then that will help us uh to the as the real tas the real goal in our own personal service and our national service of hem anyway have a fraor and have a meaningful fast tomorrow and we'll see you in a few weeks [music] My birthday [music] [singing] party [music] [music and singing] [music] [singing]
