Résumé

TLDREl video profundiza en la intrigante idea judía del Mashiaj, un concepto que ha fascinado durante siglos. Comienza con el Tanaj, el Talmud, el Midrash y otras fuentes judías, explorando quién es el Mashiaj, sus características y roles. Hay confusión y desacuerdos sobre los detalles del Mashiaj, incluyendo su nombre y cómo vendrá. Sin embargo, hay consenso en cinco cualidades esenciales que debe tener el Mashiaj. El video discute figuras históricas que han sido consideradas como Mesías, como Jesús, Bar Kojba, Shabtai Tzvi, Jacob Frank y, más recientemente, el Lubavitcher Rebbe, abordando cómo se relacionan con estas cualidades y el impacto que tuvieron en el judaísmo. El Ramba'm describe al Mashiaj como alguien que debe restaurar la dinastía davídica, reconstruir el Templo y reunir al pueblo judío en Israel, sin la necesidad de milagros. También se destaca la importancia de ser un guerrero y un músico. Estos requisitos han descalificado a muchas figuras históricas como verdaderos Mesías.

  • 00:00:00
    today we're talking about mashiach
  • 00:00:02
    which is this like fascinating Jewish
  • 00:00:05
    idea that's intrigued the world all
  • 00:00:07
    these centuries and millennia
  • 00:00:09
    and we have a lot of discussion about
  • 00:00:12
    mashiach starting with the Tanakh and
  • 00:00:14
    then the talmud midrash Lazar there's so
  • 00:00:16
    many things said about mashiach who is
  • 00:00:20
    he what does he look like where is he
  • 00:00:21
    from where is he born when is he born
  • 00:00:24
    what's his name maybe and the details
  • 00:00:26
    how's he going to come and the details
  • 00:00:28
    don't always agree
  • 00:00:30
    so even like with the name of mashiach
  • 00:00:32
    right the talmud is a famous passage
  • 00:00:34
    many different possibilities it's this
  • 00:00:35
    name and that name and this so the
  • 00:00:37
    details don't always agree and all the
  • 00:00:39
    different descriptions throughout our
  • 00:00:41
    literature it's not always clear exactly
  • 00:00:43
    what mashiach is like but if you look
  • 00:00:47
    carefully you will find that there's
  • 00:00:49
    five qualities maybe more but there's
  • 00:00:51
    five that I found that everybody agrees
  • 00:00:54
    on
  • 00:00:55
    five qualities of mashiach that for sure
  • 00:00:58
    are non-negotiable anybody wants to be
  • 00:01:01
    mashiach has to have these five
  • 00:01:03
    qualities for sure
  • 00:01:04
    these are the five you have to have
  • 00:01:07
    and so it's a useful to know these five
  • 00:01:09
    it's useful it's kind of like a it's a
  • 00:01:11
    good checklist that if somebody claims
  • 00:01:13
    to be the Messiah or people claim that a
  • 00:01:15
    certain person is the Messiah whether
  • 00:01:17
    past or present or in the future you
  • 00:01:19
    just kind of pull out this checklist and
  • 00:01:21
    you see does this person have these five
  • 00:01:23
    qualities because for sure all the
  • 00:01:25
    sources agree that mashiach must have
  • 00:01:27
    these five qualities
  • 00:01:28
    so if the person has these five
  • 00:01:30
    qualities okay great then it's possible
  • 00:01:32
    let's see you can explore further but if
  • 00:01:35
    the person is missing at least one of
  • 00:01:36
    these qualities then you know that they
  • 00:01:39
    are immediately disqualified and what
  • 00:01:41
    you'll find is throughout Jewish history
  • 00:01:43
    many have claimed to be mashiach many
  • 00:01:47
    five major ones
  • 00:01:50
    yeah so I there's been five major
  • 00:01:53
    figures in Jewish history that either
  • 00:01:55
    claim themselves or were claimed by
  • 00:01:56
    others to be mashiach many minor ones
  • 00:01:58
    the distinction I make between major and
  • 00:02:01
    minor is if their movement outlasted
  • 00:02:04
    their life
  • 00:02:05
    meaning like if it continued past their
  • 00:02:08
    death
  • 00:02:09
    yeah so you have many minor Messianic
  • 00:02:12
    figures who maybe generated some small
  • 00:02:14
    movement but their movement died with
  • 00:02:16
    them or didn't last long afterwards and
  • 00:02:17
    then you have the major figures who
  • 00:02:19
    built something bigger bigger than
  • 00:02:22
    themselves and also Judaism had to
  • 00:02:26
    respond to their movements and Judaism
  • 00:02:27
    was permanently impacted by these
  • 00:02:30
    movements so the first one was Jesus
  • 00:02:34
    historically the first one was Jesus
  • 00:02:37
    2000 years ago now about a century after
  • 00:02:40
    Jesus you had the next major figure who
  • 00:02:43
    was
  • 00:02:45
    right
  • 00:02:47
    who led
  • 00:02:49
    sure declared them to me yeah we don't
  • 00:02:52
    know if he again we don't know what he
  • 00:02:54
    himself said we know that Rabbi Akiva
  • 00:02:56
    for sure declared him to be the Messiah
  • 00:02:58
    and that's that's a big deal if rabi
  • 00:03:00
    Akiva the chief Rabbi of the world says
  • 00:03:02
    that he's a messiah that's a really big
  • 00:03:04
    deal of course even in his day people
  • 00:03:06
    whenever declared to be the Messiah
  • 00:03:08
    there said what are you talking about
  • 00:03:10
    they're one of the rabbis responded and
  • 00:03:12
    told him famously that Akiva you know
  • 00:03:14
    grass will be growing out of your cheeks
  • 00:03:16
    and the Messiah will still not have come
  • 00:03:18
    right meaning you'll be long gone and
  • 00:03:20
    still mashiach will not be here so
  • 00:03:22
    that's one of the people one of the
  • 00:03:24
    rabbis in his day that responded to him
  • 00:03:25
    but anyway rabi Akiva declared to be the
  • 00:03:29
    Messiah because he really did do
  • 00:03:31
    something major he managed to expel the
  • 00:03:33
    Romans he managed to start rebuilding
  • 00:03:36
    the temple even there's a we know for
  • 00:03:38
    sure that he cleared the Temple Mount
  • 00:03:40
    and they he started rebuilding the
  • 00:03:41
    temple in fact there's a theory among
  • 00:03:44
    historians that originally lagba omel
  • 00:03:47
    the holiday of lag bahamir was
  • 00:03:49
    originally instituted by barca to
  • 00:03:52
    commemorate the expulsion of the Romans
  • 00:03:54
    and the start of rebuilding the temple
  • 00:03:57
    it's a very interesting Theory and of
  • 00:03:59
    course
  • 00:04:00
    um
  • 00:04:01
    rashvi Shimon baryohai who today we
  • 00:04:04
    celebrate lagba Omer we celebrate rashvi
  • 00:04:06
    rajbi lived in that generation right
  • 00:04:07
    raspberry was one of the students of
  • 00:04:09
    Herbie Akiva he was a contemporary of
  • 00:04:11
    Barca and then became associated with
  • 00:04:14
    him but there is this theory that it may
  • 00:04:16
    have even started a little bit earlier
  • 00:04:18
    with
  • 00:04:19
    Uma who actually on that day started
  • 00:04:22
    rebuilding the Third Temple it's a
  • 00:04:23
    theory I'm not saying that it's a fact
  • 00:04:24
    but there is some evidence to support it
  • 00:04:27
    eventually the Romans came back and put
  • 00:04:29
    down their their Revolt barcoheri bolt
  • 00:04:32
    and again it had a very serious impact
  • 00:04:34
    on Judaism even in Allah like the fourth
  • 00:04:37
    bracha of birkata Mazon was instituted
  • 00:04:40
    in response to if you remember the
  • 00:04:42
    Battle of beta and beta was one of the
  • 00:04:44
    main battles of the Barca Rebellion
  • 00:04:47
    so it had an impact on even how we
  • 00:04:50
    recite birkata Mazon and if that's so
  • 00:04:52
    that's what I mean that these are major
  • 00:04:53
    Jewish figures because what they did had
  • 00:04:56
    a serious and permanent impact on the
  • 00:04:58
    development of Judaism going forward so
  • 00:05:00
    we had Jesus and then a century later
  • 00:05:02
    barkova and then for a long time you
  • 00:05:04
    don't have any major figures you have a
  • 00:05:06
    lot of minor runs
  • 00:05:10
    one David Ruben mulholl these
  • 00:05:14
    were all kind of minors
  • 00:05:16
    there was in Yemen there was a couple so
  • 00:05:18
    yeah so for a long time there was no
  • 00:05:20
    major figure and then who's next
  • 00:05:23
    in the 1600s
  • 00:05:25
    yeah so in the 1600s then you have the
  • 00:05:28
    notorious Chevy
  • 00:05:29
    again was a major major figure managed
  • 00:05:32
    to convince many many Jews that he was
  • 00:05:34
    the Messiah of course eventually the
  • 00:05:37
    ottoman Emperor the sultan called him in
  • 00:05:39
    and said oh you think you're Messiah
  • 00:05:41
    okay like you're going to convert to
  • 00:05:42
    Islam or we're going to execute you so
  • 00:05:44
    of course he's sold out he converted to
  • 00:05:46
    Islam and his closest followers
  • 00:05:48
    converted with him he convinced them
  • 00:05:50
    that he was doing a tikkun for Islam by
  • 00:05:52
    converting and but he will rectify the
  • 00:05:54
    Muslim world like that but ultimately
  • 00:05:57
    everybody realized that he was a faker
  • 00:05:59
    or the vast majority of the Jewish World
  • 00:06:01
    realized that he was another failed or
  • 00:06:04
    false or Failed Messiah and that was the
  • 00:06:06
    end of it although to this day there's
  • 00:06:08
    many conspiracy theories of like secret
  • 00:06:10
    shabbatan influence in the world I will
  • 00:06:13
    put all those aside generally speaking I
  • 00:06:16
    mean the shabbatsby movement was pretty
  • 00:06:18
    much dead and then the next major figure
  • 00:06:21
    was again about a century after who was
  • 00:06:22
    Jacob Frank in the 1700s who saw himself
  • 00:06:25
    as basically like a second coming of
  • 00:06:27
    shabbatri Poland yes this was in Europe
  • 00:06:31
    and he came from a family of shabbatan's
  • 00:06:34
    and he saw himself as kind of like a
  • 00:06:35
    second coming and started this new
  • 00:06:39
    neoshabate and frankist movement which
  • 00:06:42
    made a splash for a little while and
  • 00:06:44
    then with him as well similar story he
  • 00:06:46
    ended up converting to Christianity with
  • 00:06:48
    his father Jacob Frank so we had Jesus
  • 00:06:50
    we had Shimon we had shaptitsui Jacob
  • 00:06:54
    Frank and then finally
  • 00:06:57
    many many times you can't really say I
  • 00:07:00
    have deal enough times but in our day
  • 00:07:01
    and age the the biggest Messianic
  • 00:07:04
    movement in the Jewish world is
  • 00:07:15
    I think other people
  • 00:07:18
    right so he he's not yeah first of all
  • 00:07:22
    first of all there's no doubt that he is
  • 00:07:25
    one of the greatest rabbis not only of
  • 00:07:27
    the last century but of all time first
  • 00:07:28
    of all uh what he did was incomparable
  • 00:07:32
    revolutionary he did for sure more than
  • 00:07:35
    anybody to advance the Messianic age
  • 00:07:38
    to rectify the world you have to
  • 00:07:40
    understand his vision and his genius you
  • 00:07:43
    know he didn't just talk the talk he
  • 00:07:44
    walked the walk if you think about even
  • 00:07:46
    something like this whole vision of
  • 00:07:48
    having Chabad houses on like every
  • 00:07:50
    corner of the planet and every country
  • 00:07:52
    in the most remotest Villages and
  • 00:07:53
    jungles wherever you know under this the
  • 00:07:56
    shut understanding of that like on a
  • 00:07:58
    simple level why did he want to do this
  • 00:07:59
    because you know to offer Jews wherever
  • 00:08:02
    they might be kosher you know Jewish
  • 00:08:04
    services so that wherever a Jew might be
  • 00:08:06
    anywhere in the world there's access to
  • 00:08:08
    a synagogue to prayers to kosher food to
  • 00:08:10
    a Jewish Community to shabbat and so on
  • 00:08:12
    that's a simple meaning the simple
  • 00:08:14
    reason that he wanted to do this which
  • 00:08:16
    is already incredible but if you
  • 00:08:17
    understand the kabbalistic reason of
  • 00:08:19
    what he was trying to accomplish it was
  • 00:08:22
    more than that it was about absolute
  • 00:08:25
    tikkun like this is the the real tikkun
  • 00:08:28
    olama we talked about this recently with
  • 00:08:30
    reciting brachas we talked about the
  • 00:08:32
    last time about and how we recite on
  • 00:08:35
    everything to rectify to free the Sparks
  • 00:08:37
    there's Sparks of Holiness trapped
  • 00:08:39
    everywhere on the planet within material
  • 00:08:42
    things they are covered in these clipot
  • 00:08:45
    of these physical husks and our job is
  • 00:08:47
    to free the spiritual Sparks Within
  • 00:08:49
    and that's that's something that like
  • 00:08:51
    going back to the Ariza and to the tsar
  • 00:08:53
    and to the Ariza that our purpose on a
  • 00:08:55
    mystical level is to go all over the
  • 00:08:56
    world and to free those Sparks and
  • 00:08:58
    thereby rectify the whole Cosmos
  • 00:09:00
    spiritually and that's how we bring
  • 00:09:02
    about the Messianic age
  • 00:09:04
    um and the laboratory took that into
  • 00:09:07
    overdrive and literally sent people
  • 00:09:09
    everywhere on the planet on a
  • 00:09:11
    kabbalistic level to rectify to free the
  • 00:09:13
    Sparks wherever they might be in the
  • 00:09:15
    jungles of Southeast Asia or wherever in
  • 00:09:17
    deserts in Africa and South America
  • 00:09:19
    everywhere to rectify the world to make
  • 00:09:22
    sure that all the Sparks wherever they
  • 00:09:23
    might be will be liberated and freed
  • 00:09:26
    through mitzvot and prayers and good
  • 00:09:29
    deeds and all these things that we're
  • 00:09:30
    all supposed to do so it was nothing
  • 00:09:32
    less than actually rectifying the entire
  • 00:09:35
    planet and preparing it spiritually for
  • 00:09:38
    the coming of mashiachen for the
  • 00:09:40
    Messianic age which is incredible
  • 00:09:41
    because again you didn't just say that
  • 00:09:43
    he would do it he was able to accomplish
  • 00:09:45
    it he was able to inspire people to do
  • 00:09:47
    that so that's an incredible incredible
  • 00:09:49
    achievement and genius that's right
  • 00:09:52
    that's right and so it's understandable
  • 00:09:53
    why there's such a huge Messianic
  • 00:09:55
    movement around him despite the fact
  • 00:09:57
    that it's been almost three decades
  • 00:09:59
    since he passed away so there's no doubt
  • 00:10:01
    that he's a great figure I personally
  • 00:10:02
    have a portrait of him in my office as
  • 00:10:05
    well
  • 00:10:06
    however the question of being mashiach
  • 00:10:09
    that's a separate topic that needs to be
  • 00:10:10
    discussed
  • 00:10:11
    and so as I was saying that a person who
  • 00:10:14
    claims to be mashiach or who whoever
  • 00:10:17
    will be mashiach needs to have these
  • 00:10:19
    five qualities that's just basic
  • 00:10:21
    fundamental based on all of our sources
  • 00:10:24
    and so we have to see if any of these
  • 00:10:27
    five people from the past have these
  • 00:10:28
    qualities all five of these qualities
  • 00:10:30
    and anybody who claims in the future to
  • 00:10:33
    be the Messiah are in the present or in
  • 00:10:34
    the future do they actually have these
  • 00:10:36
    five important qualities so I want to
  • 00:10:39
    share those five with you and explain
  • 00:10:40
    them and why they are important and
  • 00:10:42
    where they come from
  • 00:10:43
    and then go from there
  • 00:10:45
    so before that just quickly to review
  • 00:10:48
    the actual Allah as brought down by the
  • 00:10:52
    rambam maimonides mosheban maimon who
  • 00:10:54
    was also considered
  • 00:10:56
    um you know we say that from
  • 00:11:00
    the time of Moses until Moses maimonides
  • 00:11:04
    there never arose one like Moses he's
  • 00:11:06
    considered he's the great codifier of
  • 00:11:08
    Jewish law and so we will hopefully in
  • 00:11:11
    about a month devote when his yard side
  • 00:11:13
    comes devote some time just to the
  • 00:11:15
    rambam because he's such an important
  • 00:11:16
    Monumental figure so in the mishna Torah
  • 00:11:19
    and in his code of Jewish law he
  • 00:11:21
    actually outlines the Allah
  • 00:11:22
    of kings and specifically the Allah in
  • 00:11:26
    chapter 11. so this is just to
  • 00:11:28
    understand how do we know for sure when
  • 00:11:30
    somebody is mashiach what is the job of
  • 00:11:33
    mashiach so this is what he says right
  • 00:11:35
    from the beginning
  • 00:11:39
    number one that the Messiah is really
  • 00:11:43
    just a Jewish King his job number one is
  • 00:11:45
    to re-establish the davidic dynasty
  • 00:11:48
    that's God's chosen Dynasty like it says
  • 00:11:51
    clearly in the Tanakh it's the only
  • 00:11:52
    legitimate line of Kings is the line of
  • 00:11:55
    King David and the job of the Messiah is
  • 00:11:58
    number one to re-establish the davidic
  • 00:12:00
    dynasty the Jewish Kingdom the throne in
  • 00:12:04
    Jerusalem
  • 00:12:06
    number one
  • 00:12:08
    and then he has to rebuild the Temple he
  • 00:12:11
    has to rebuild the Temple so we await
  • 00:12:13
    the Third Temple the next job of
  • 00:12:16
    mashiach is to rebuild the Temple number
  • 00:12:18
    two
  • 00:12:19
    maybe there is one idea that the Third
  • 00:12:21
    Temple will descend from heaven but
  • 00:12:23
    that's that's not the rambam didn't hold
  • 00:12:25
    by that kind of midrash the simple idea
  • 00:12:27
    is on the simplest level mashiach has to
  • 00:12:31
    just physically start the project of
  • 00:12:33
    rebuilding the temple
  • 00:12:35
    and number three is um and to gather to
  • 00:12:39
    end the Exile of the Jewish people and
  • 00:12:42
    to bring the Jews back to Israel so
  • 00:12:44
    these are the three go the three jobs of
  • 00:12:46
    mashiach and then the rambam makes sure
  • 00:12:48
    that you know the Aliah
  • 00:12:51
    do not think that mashiach has to be
  • 00:12:54
    some miracle worker that is not
  • 00:12:56
    important that is not a requirement
  • 00:12:58
    there's no need for mashiach to work
  • 00:13:00
    miracles and the Rumba makes it very
  • 00:13:03
    clear that he doesn't even have to be me
  • 00:13:05
    team he does not have to resurrect the
  • 00:13:07
    dead that's not a sign that a person is
  • 00:13:09
    the Messiah that's not important those
  • 00:13:12
    are not the important things the
  • 00:13:13
    important things are that the Messiah
  • 00:13:14
    re-establishes the Kingdom of Israel the
  • 00:13:16
    davidic dynasty rebuilds the temple
  • 00:13:18
    brings the Jews back to Israel he does
  • 00:13:20
    not have to be a miracle worker he does
  • 00:13:22
    not have to revive the dead you know
  • 00:13:24
    there's an old Hasidic saying that
  • 00:13:26
    what's the big deal in Reviving The Dead
  • 00:13:28
    Right anybody can revive the dead so
  • 00:13:30
    there's any any second-rate Rabbi can
  • 00:13:31
    revive the Dead the Hasidic saying goes
  • 00:13:34
    that a real Rabbi knows how to revive
  • 00:13:35
    the living right that's that's what's
  • 00:13:38
    challenging Reviving The Dead is easy
  • 00:13:40
    you have to know how to revive the
  • 00:13:41
    living so mashiach is not somebody who
  • 00:13:44
    can revive the dead it's somebody who
  • 00:13:45
    can revive the living that's the idea
  • 00:13:46
    you don't have to be a miracle worker a
  • 00:13:48
    miracle worker that's not the
  • 00:13:50
    requirement
  • 00:13:51
    okay now what is important the rambam
  • 00:13:54
    continues that how do we know if
  • 00:13:56
    somebody is mashiach so imia David if
  • 00:14:00
    you have a king somebody who is a king
  • 00:14:02
    and who can prove that he's from the
  • 00:14:04
    line of David
  • 00:14:05
    and this person is he's constantly
  • 00:14:08
    meditating upon the Torah
  • 00:14:10
    and is full of engaging in mitsvilletan
  • 00:14:13
    fulfilling the Mitzvahs Aviv like King
  • 00:14:16
    David his forefather which needs its own
  • 00:14:19
    explanation what does it mean to keep
  • 00:14:21
    the Torah like King David
  • 00:14:23
    but of course mashiach is a is a direct
  • 00:14:26
    descendant of King David in some ways he
  • 00:14:27
    is King David it's like the return of
  • 00:14:29
    King David
  • 00:14:30
    that's right yeah it's hard to be able
  • 00:14:33
    to prove your lineage but the truth is
  • 00:14:35
    that and we'll talk more about this
  • 00:14:36
    later like probably every Jew has some
  • 00:14:39
    direct line unless there's converts I
  • 00:14:43
    guess but most Jews are probably have a
  • 00:14:46
    direct connection to King David in some
  • 00:14:48
    way simply because King David lived so
  • 00:14:50
    long ago and he had many kids you know
  • 00:14:53
    the talmud in one place said that he had
  • 00:14:54
    like at least 400 kids so you can and
  • 00:14:56
    then King Solomon
  • 00:14:58
    at least and then King Solomon and then
  • 00:15:01
    his son King Solomon had a thousand
  • 00:15:04
    wives the tanaks of that so imagine how
  • 00:15:05
    many kids King Solomon had so imagine
  • 00:15:07
    how many descendants of King David there
  • 00:15:09
    must be and that was three thousand
  • 00:15:10
    years ago so imagine over 3 000 years of
  • 00:15:13
    people marrying
  • 00:15:15
    exactly so there's some millions and
  • 00:15:17
    millions of people in the world after
  • 00:15:19
    three thousand years would be descended
  • 00:15:20
    from King David so that's not really
  • 00:15:22
    that's probably not the hardest thing to
  • 00:15:24
    find because uh I bet many Jews are
  • 00:15:27
    actually in some way
  • 00:15:29
    connected to King David after all these
  • 00:15:31
    years
  • 00:15:32
    but but mashiach really is David like he
  • 00:15:35
    is the King David is the Prototype of
  • 00:15:38
    mashiach and as we'll see in the five
  • 00:15:39
    qualities that we discuss these are
  • 00:15:41
    qualities that that David had mashiach
  • 00:15:45
    has the qualities that King David had
  • 00:15:48
    and he the the rambam continues that
  • 00:15:51
    mashiach of course has to know all that
  • 00:15:54
    he has to follow the whole written and
  • 00:15:57
    oral Torah
  • 00:16:00
    and he will encourage and inspire all of
  • 00:16:04
    the Jewish people to return to proper
  • 00:16:06
    Torah observance and the next thing is
  • 00:16:08
    really important
  • 00:16:09
    and he'll fight the wars of God as we
  • 00:16:12
    know we talked about Goku Magog and all
  • 00:16:14
    these prophesied wars that will happen
  • 00:16:16
    at the end of days and mashiach is not
  • 00:16:19
    just somebody who is you know a great
  • 00:16:22
    scholar but he also fights the wars of
  • 00:16:24
    God
  • 00:16:25
    he's also a warrior so a person who does
  • 00:16:28
    these things
  • 00:16:30
    so the rambam says that a person who
  • 00:16:32
    does these things is the presumptive
  • 00:16:34
    Messiah we're still not sure if he's for
  • 00:16:37
    sure the mashiach but he is the
  • 00:16:39
    presumptive Messiah until if he does
  • 00:16:43
    if he does all these things and succeeds
  • 00:16:47
    and he builds the temple in its right
  • 00:16:50
    place in Jerusalem
  • 00:16:52
    Israel and he gathered all the people of
  • 00:16:54
    Israel all the Jews to Israel then you
  • 00:16:57
    know
  • 00:16:59
    the only time where you're certain that
  • 00:17:02
    a person is the Messiah is if these
  • 00:17:04
    things have been accomplished he
  • 00:17:06
    defeated the enemies of Israel
  • 00:17:07
    re-established the dynasty rebuilt the
  • 00:17:10
    temple brought all the Jews back to
  • 00:17:11
    Israel so how do you know if a person is
  • 00:17:14
    we are only certain if he did all these
  • 00:17:17
    things rebuilt the temple brought all
  • 00:17:19
    the Jews back to Israel fought all the
  • 00:17:20
    wars re-established the davidic dynasty
  • 00:17:23
    if a person succeeded in doing this then
  • 00:17:25
    you know that he is and until then you
  • 00:17:28
    know it would be very premature to
  • 00:17:30
    declare anybody mashiach if they have
  • 00:17:32
    not fulfilled these things and that's
  • 00:17:34
    how we only then will we know for sure
  • 00:17:36
    that a person is Messiah and if if they
  • 00:17:38
    seem to be heading in that direction
  • 00:17:40
    like somebody like balkova did defeat
  • 00:17:43
    the Romans he fought the words of God he
  • 00:17:45
    started rebuilding the temple he was
  • 00:17:47
    apparently a great scholar perhaps one
  • 00:17:49
    of the students of rabi Akiva rabi Akiva
  • 00:17:51
    did declare him to be the Messiah so
  • 00:17:53
    that he was the presumptive Messiah
  • 00:17:55
    because he seemed to be fulfilling all
  • 00:17:57
    the roles but one seat died and the
  • 00:17:59
    rambam explains this once he he's dead
  • 00:18:02
    and he did not fulfill all these goals
  • 00:18:04
    then you know for sure that the person
  • 00:18:06
    is not mashiach
  • 00:18:10
    yeah so we have an idea that in every
  • 00:18:12
    generation there is somebody who has the
  • 00:18:14
    potential to be the Messiah right God
  • 00:18:15
    keeps up at least one or perhaps more in
  • 00:18:18
    every generation people who are
  • 00:18:19
    potential Messiahs
  • 00:18:21
    and if the generation merits it and the
  • 00:18:24
    time is right then God will call on that
  • 00:18:26
    person okay
  • 00:18:32
    no because he's supposed to re-establish
  • 00:18:33
    the davidic Dynasty and Rule as king
  • 00:18:35
    eventually he will die after 40 years
  • 00:18:38
    According to some sources like King just
  • 00:18:41
    like King David ruled for 40 years King
  • 00:18:43
    Solomon ruled for 40 years that seems to
  • 00:18:45
    be the standard term Moses was the
  • 00:18:48
    leader of Israel for 40 years
  • 00:18:49
    so the standard term is one generation
  • 00:18:52
    is defined as 40 years so after mashiach
  • 00:18:55
    fulfills these goals he still needs to
  • 00:18:58
    rule for 40 years and then pass away
  • 00:19:06
    eventually yes So eventually also there
  • 00:19:08
    will be a resurrection of the dead
  • 00:19:10
    that's true after a certain period of
  • 00:19:11
    time it doesn't have to be right away
  • 00:19:12
    though at some point in the future
  • 00:19:16
    complicates things a little bit now too
  • 00:19:18
    right because now that you can meet a
  • 00:19:20
    whole new criteria now I want to keep it
  • 00:19:23
    simple and I want to avoid the
  • 00:19:25
    discussion of mashir benicef versus
  • 00:19:27
    because truly there is also a discussion
  • 00:19:30
    of whether there are really two Messiahs
  • 00:19:32
    or not is it really one messiah in just
  • 00:19:36
    two phases
  • 00:19:38
    um or is it to distinct individuals
  • 00:19:42
    so that's that needs its own discussion
  • 00:19:44
    but the simple I'm going to keep it as
  • 00:19:46
    shut as possible that there's one
  • 00:19:48
    mashiach for the purp maybe another day
  • 00:19:50
    we'll discuss uh various other
  • 00:19:52
    possibilities but assuming that there's
  • 00:19:54
    only one
  • 00:19:57
    and it's important to remember
  • 00:19:59
    that there's no need for a second cup
  • 00:20:02
    second coming because we're saying here
  • 00:20:04
    the rambam says very clearly that a
  • 00:20:05
    person's only mashiach when they
  • 00:20:07
    fulfilled these roles if they have not
  • 00:20:09
    fulfilled these tasks they are not the
  • 00:20:11
    Messiah and all these other groups that
  • 00:20:14
    have claimed somebody is the Messiah
  • 00:20:15
    they had to deal with this problem
  • 00:20:17
    because if you're saying let's say Jesus
  • 00:20:19
    is the Messiah or whoever but they
  • 00:20:22
    clearly did not fulfill these basic
  • 00:20:25
    tasks so what do the people have to say
  • 00:20:28
    oh well he'll come back right the
  • 00:20:31
    shabbatayan said well shabbat's me will
  • 00:20:33
    come back because he clearly did not
  • 00:20:34
    fulfill any of these tasks so that means
  • 00:20:37
    he must come back in the future and of
  • 00:20:39
    course 400 years later he's never come
  • 00:20:41
    back same thing with Jesus two thousand
  • 00:20:43
    years ago the original disciples of
  • 00:20:44
    Jesus were expecting him to fulfill
  • 00:20:47
    these tasks and he didn't so they said
  • 00:20:49
    well he will come back to fulfill these
  • 00:20:51
    roles and they were expecting him to
  • 00:20:53
    return imminently
  • 00:20:56
    that's that's right
  • 00:20:59
    whatever it is whatever it is they have
  • 00:21:02
    to claim a second coming because clearly
  • 00:21:04
    the person did not fulfill those tasks
  • 00:21:06
    clearly today in real time this has not
  • 00:21:10
    been done there is no Third Temple there
  • 00:21:12
    is no davidic Dynasty the majority of
  • 00:21:14
    Jews are not living in Israel in a
  • 00:21:16
    proper holy Torah Kingdom so clearly
  • 00:21:18
    none of these things have been fulfilled
  • 00:21:20
    which means simply the Messiah has not
  • 00:21:22
    yet come that's kind of obvious so how
  • 00:21:24
    do these people continue to believe in a
  • 00:21:26
    messiah when it's so obvious that a
  • 00:21:28
    messiah has not come well they say that
  • 00:21:30
    well he's came he did he started the
  • 00:21:33
    work but didn't actually get very far
  • 00:21:34
    but he will come back and so Christians
  • 00:21:37
    have been waiting for two thousand years
  • 00:21:38
    for him to come back and shabbatan were
  • 00:21:41
    waiting for a long time for him to come
  • 00:21:42
    back and so on everybody's always
  • 00:21:43
    waiting and again
  • 00:21:45
    who thinks that the rebius mashiach are
  • 00:21:48
    waiting for him to come back even it's
  • 00:21:50
    though it's been so long so having said
  • 00:21:52
    all that what kind of person should we
  • 00:21:55
    expect mashir to be what are those five
  • 00:21:57
    qualities that mashiach must have
  • 00:21:59
    number one
  • 00:22:01
    and the First Quality is the most
  • 00:22:03
    obvious and needs the least explanation
  • 00:22:05
    is that this is a person who's of course
  • 00:22:07
    a talmith who obviously knows
  • 00:22:11
    he knows Torah inside and out and
  • 00:22:14
    doesn't just know it but can teach it
  • 00:22:16
    and can spread it and inspire people so
  • 00:22:19
    it's like a genuine Torah teacher who's
  • 00:22:21
    a very inspirational figure and an
  • 00:22:24
    authentic real scholar and we talked
  • 00:22:26
    about last time that just plain is not
  • 00:22:28
    enough to be a computer is not enough
  • 00:22:31
    what do I mean a computer can also a
  • 00:22:33
    hard drive can also store all the
  • 00:22:35
    thousands of texts and all the whole
  • 00:22:37
    talmud and everything can recall it
  • 00:22:40
    instantly so it's not enough for a
  • 00:22:42
    person to just you know be blessed with
  • 00:22:44
    a photographic memory and to just have
  • 00:22:45
    all of Chess in their head and to be
  • 00:22:47
    able to recall it instantly that's nice
  • 00:22:49
    it's a nice feature but uh does not need
  • 00:22:53
    to be a computer he needs to be somebody
  • 00:22:55
    who understands who has Beena and Dutch
  • 00:22:57
    right it's not enough to just have the
  • 00:22:59
    plain and to just be able to MRI is a
  • 00:23:02
    great deal of information it also
  • 00:23:04
    requires a much deeper level of
  • 00:23:06
    understanding and being able to relate
  • 00:23:08
    to it and synthesize and apply it and
  • 00:23:11
    actually have that wisdom and to inspire
  • 00:23:13
    people and to be able to relay that
  • 00:23:14
    information to others properly
  • 00:23:17
    and honestly and truthfully and so on
  • 00:23:20
    so that's quality number one number two
  • 00:23:23
    though and this is the the one where a
  • 00:23:26
    lot of people who claim to be mashiach
  • 00:23:29
    or are claim to be this is where a lot
  • 00:23:30
    will fail because as we saw as the
  • 00:23:32
    rambam said he has to fight Hashem he
  • 00:23:35
    has to be a warrior he's a warrior
  • 00:23:37
    Messiah and in the tanak mashiach has
  • 00:23:40
    described as a warrior mashiach and it
  • 00:23:44
    connects to our Parsha this week and to
  • 00:23:46
    the whole story of yaakov and Asaf and
  • 00:23:49
    Israel what does this whole if you think
  • 00:23:51
    about what is this whole story about
  • 00:23:53
    yaakov and the transformation of yaakov
  • 00:23:55
    from yaakov to Israel
  • 00:23:58
    think about that yaakov is born and the
  • 00:24:01
    Torah tells us that he's a Tom person
  • 00:24:03
    Tom he's an innocent guy yes he sits in
  • 00:24:07
    tents all day and he just wants to like
  • 00:24:08
    learn and pray and meditate and his twin
  • 00:24:11
    brother Asaf is a man of the field he's
  • 00:24:14
    an ishade that he's he's hunting he's a
  • 00:24:18
    man on the field he's taught he was born
  • 00:24:20
    physically strong muscular hairy and so
  • 00:24:24
    they're twins and yet yaakov is this
  • 00:24:26
    like soft soft-spoken soft guy sitting
  • 00:24:29
    intense just wants to be left alone just
  • 00:24:31
    wants to read his books read pray
  • 00:24:33
    meditate and ASAP is the exact opposite
  • 00:24:35
    he's this Hunter this Warrior this great
  • 00:24:37
    strong figure what was the point of that
  • 00:24:39
    originally they were meant to serve God
  • 00:24:41
    together right the Asaf was given the
  • 00:24:45
    these qualities to be physically strong
  • 00:24:48
    and to rectify the world physically and
  • 00:24:50
    yaakov was given the ability to rectify
  • 00:24:52
    the world spiritually yaakov would be
  • 00:24:54
    the teacher the person who does mitzvot
  • 00:24:56
    and all these things and ASAP would be
  • 00:24:57
    the person who has to fight somebody has
  • 00:24:58
    to defeat evil too somebody has to build
  • 00:25:00
    somebody has to do those physical things
  • 00:25:02
    so ASAP would have been the physical
  • 00:25:04
    Builder the fighter somebody who
  • 00:25:06
    confronts the darkness and yaakov is the
  • 00:25:08
    person who's spiritually who's educating
  • 00:25:10
    who's spreading the light they were
  • 00:25:11
    supposed to work together
  • 00:25:13
    but ASA failed in that attack he
  • 00:25:15
    couldn't really channel that physical
  • 00:25:17
    strength in the right direction and then
  • 00:25:19
    what yaakov did is he said okay if
  • 00:25:21
    you're not going to do this Mission I
  • 00:25:22
    will do it and he took the birthright
  • 00:25:25
    from him he took his Yakov took asab's
  • 00:25:27
    Birthright which means what does that
  • 00:25:28
    mean that he took his birth right it
  • 00:25:30
    means he took his mission he took his
  • 00:25:32
    actual purpose upon himself and he took
  • 00:25:35
    his Blessing too and he made sure that
  • 00:25:37
    he yaakov is basically saying I will be
  • 00:25:40
    ASAP also and that what henceforth what
  • 00:25:43
    God does is is he tells yaakov prove it
  • 00:25:45
    and for the next 20 plus years he makes
  • 00:25:49
    the Alcove even more it really really
  • 00:25:51
    for the rest of his life he makes Yakov
  • 00:25:53
    work to prove that he can be Asaf so
  • 00:25:56
    what do you see yuck of doing henceforth
  • 00:25:58
    he works for Lavan he's shepherding God
  • 00:26:01
    he makes the outcome of work hard be a
  • 00:26:04
    Shepherd work for Lavon do this do that
  • 00:26:06
    build this whole Enterprise with these
  • 00:26:09
    sheep and the goats and everything and
  • 00:26:11
    then he makes him fight he battled Lavan
  • 00:26:13
    the Torah says that Yakov wrestled with
  • 00:26:15
    Lavan and then he wrestles with the
  • 00:26:17
    angel
  • 00:26:18
    he wrestles with people he wrestles with
  • 00:26:21
    Divine beings and finally when he proves
  • 00:26:23
    that yes he can fight that he's not just
  • 00:26:25
    gonna run away originally what was he
  • 00:26:27
    doing he was always running away ASAP
  • 00:26:29
    said he's gonna hunt him down what does
  • 00:26:31
    yaakov do instead of confronting him he
  • 00:26:33
    runs away from him
  • 00:26:34
    yaakov starts by running away and then
  • 00:26:37
    he learns that he can't run away from
  • 00:26:38
    his problems anymore he even runs away
  • 00:26:40
    from Lavan at one point and then you
  • 00:26:42
    realize that he can't keep running away
  • 00:26:43
    and finally he confronts Lavon and
  • 00:26:45
    wrestles with him and defeats him and
  • 00:26:47
    then he wrestles with the angel and then
  • 00:26:49
    he confronts ASAP and he learns to fight
  • 00:26:51
    he learns to become a warrior not just
  • 00:26:53
    somebody who is Yeshiva Alim who sits in
  • 00:26:56
    tents but somebody who can also fight
  • 00:26:58
    and prove his physical might this is the
  • 00:27:01
    true Israel this is when God renames him
  • 00:27:03
    Israel this is the person that the Jew
  • 00:27:06
    is supposed to be not just a scholar who
  • 00:27:08
    is Yeshiva Alim but also somebody who's
  • 00:27:11
    an Isha somebody who can be a man of the
  • 00:27:13
    field and can fight and this was
  • 00:27:15
    actually perfectly embodied in King
  • 00:27:18
    David this is why King David is so
  • 00:27:21
    special why was King David unique why
  • 00:27:23
    was King David God's beloved David means
  • 00:27:26
    beloved his very name means that he's
  • 00:27:28
    God's beloved why did God choose him and
  • 00:27:30
    say that he is the forefather of
  • 00:27:33
    mashiach and he's the only one his line
  • 00:27:35
    is the only legitimate line of Kings
  • 00:27:37
    what's so special about David David is
  • 00:27:40
    that yaakov and a sub in one person he
  • 00:27:43
    is the perfect Israel
  • 00:27:44
    and what's even crazier this is really
  • 00:27:46
    going to blow your mind there's only two
  • 00:27:48
    people in the whole Tanakh that the
  • 00:27:50
    Tanakh calls them admoni
  • 00:27:53
    Asaf was that money and King David was
  • 00:27:57
    admoni that's not a stem connection
  • 00:27:59
    that's not a coincidence right remember
  • 00:28:00
    there's no coincidence physical
  • 00:28:03
    characteristics yeah King David was
  • 00:28:05
    described as almoni as well
  • 00:28:09
    so King David is described like ASA
  • 00:28:12
    physically like Aesop he was this
  • 00:28:13
    incredible Warrior
  • 00:28:15
    that could defeat that that defeated 200
  • 00:28:18
    Philistines single-handedly in one
  • 00:28:19
    battle right his father-in-law put him
  • 00:28:21
    to the test said bring me a hundred
  • 00:28:23
    Philistine I won't say what he asked
  • 00:28:25
    them to bring but he wanted him to fight
  • 00:28:27
    a hundred Philistines and King David
  • 00:28:29
    fought 200.
  • 00:28:30
    hey he was a warrior and he was this
  • 00:28:33
    incredible scholar and this composer and
  • 00:28:36
    this musician he wrote talim and he
  • 00:28:38
    wrote all these beautiful Psalms and and
  • 00:28:40
    you retail him and you see how close he
  • 00:28:42
    was to God how he was constantly you
  • 00:28:44
    know put God before him and everything
  • 00:28:46
    so he is that perfect embodiment of
  • 00:28:48
    Israel he is the Yakov and ASAP in one
  • 00:28:51
    he is spiritual Yakov and physically
  • 00:28:53
    Asaf the Tanakh describes him physically
  • 00:28:56
    like ASAP he's the only other person
  • 00:28:57
    who's called admoni like asaph
  • 00:29:00
    so the connections made very clear in
  • 00:29:03
    Nintendo that's King David and that's
  • 00:29:04
    mashiach and by the way really all of
  • 00:29:06
    our great Figures were warriors avraham
  • 00:29:08
    was a warrior he fought the Kings you
  • 00:29:10
    remember he went up against these Kings
  • 00:29:12
    he he took them on he fought them in
  • 00:29:14
    battle
  • 00:29:15
    uh yahushua
  • 00:29:16
    even Moses we'd mentioned that recently
  • 00:29:20
    that he fought Ugg he went head to head
  • 00:29:22
    and he fought the giant Ugg and he was
  • 00:29:23
    the one that single-handedly defeated
  • 00:29:25
    this giant in battle so even Moses went
  • 00:29:28
    to fight so all of our great Heroes were
  • 00:29:31
    warriors
  • 00:29:32
    so that's where a lot of the
  • 00:29:35
    um
  • 00:29:35
    people in the past didn't really fulfill
  • 00:29:38
    this role somebody like Jesus was is
  • 00:29:40
    considered described like a pacifist you
  • 00:29:42
    know turn the other cheek and all that
  • 00:29:44
    was not was not really a fighter not in
  • 00:29:47
    his generation again if they'll argue
  • 00:29:50
    well he'll come back to fight those in
  • 00:29:51
    the second coming but like we said we
  • 00:29:53
    can't wait for a second coming
  • 00:29:55
    he physically fought he like literally
  • 00:29:57
    fought off the Romans and defeated them
  • 00:29:59
    in battle miraculously took on the
  • 00:30:01
    biggest empire in the world and was able
  • 00:30:03
    to defeat them at least temporarily so
  • 00:30:05
    he's the only one that really fulfilled
  • 00:30:07
    this particular requirement
  • 00:30:09
    somebody likes updatesv never fought
  • 00:30:10
    Jacob Frank never fought and now to
  • 00:30:13
    answer your question when you look at
  • 00:30:14
    somebody like the lubavitcher review
  • 00:30:17
    obviously knew this requirement and what
  • 00:30:20
    you find and this has been pointed out
  • 00:30:22
    by others actually that's right Not only
  • 00:30:25
    was the lubavator be consulted uh by the
  • 00:30:29
    IDF regularly he he often gave advice to
  • 00:30:33
    IDF generals and Israeli Prime Ministers
  • 00:30:35
    that's very well known he met with many
  • 00:30:37
    prime ministers with many generals with
  • 00:30:39
    many people in Israeli intelligence and
  • 00:30:41
    so on he didn't advise them in military
  • 00:30:44
    strategy they often didn't listen to him
  • 00:30:46
    but he gave the right calls that's one
  • 00:30:48
    thing where he was in some ways a
  • 00:30:51
    military strategist and did consult with
  • 00:30:53
    the IDF but it's more than that the way
  • 00:30:56
    that the rebbe built Chabad is with a
  • 00:30:59
    lot of military language and symbolism
  • 00:31:03
    right so like for example the youth
  • 00:31:06
    movement of Chabad is called sivot
  • 00:31:08
    Hashem right Siva sashem the the armies
  • 00:31:10
    of God
  • 00:31:11
    and they give them like military ranks
  • 00:31:13
    even and the laboratory instituted
  • 00:31:15
    having a parade every year like a
  • 00:31:18
    military-style parade
  • 00:31:20
    right specifically on like a Bowman
  • 00:31:22
    which really if you ask the historians
  • 00:31:25
    may be first done by Barca right uh so
  • 00:31:28
    he instituted a military parade his
  • 00:31:29
    campaigns
  • 00:31:31
    The rebbe Institute attend campaigns in
  • 00:31:33
    English the word campaign doesn't really
  • 00:31:35
    necessarily mean something military but
  • 00:31:37
    the Hebrew word for them the myth time
  • 00:31:40
    they are military campaigns you know the
  • 00:31:43
    10 campaigns of the rebbe he wanted to
  • 00:31:45
    encourage Jews he that he he told his to
  • 00:31:49
    go and Inspire others to do these 10
  • 00:31:51
    main things like putting on fill in on
  • 00:31:53
    people you know how the Chabad nikkims
  • 00:31:55
    stand on street corners and ask hey are
  • 00:31:57
    you Jewish let's put on Finland that's
  • 00:31:58
    one of the campaigns and the ladies go
  • 00:32:00
    and ask to other women if they litch
  • 00:32:02
    about candles and so he did 10 such
  • 00:32:04
    campaigns
  • 00:32:06
    where he told history
  • 00:32:08
    to go out and reach out to people to
  • 00:32:10
    fulfill these 10 big Mitzvahs and
  • 00:32:13
    they're called he called them if same
  • 00:32:14
    like military campaigns so he used a lot
  • 00:32:18
    of military language a lot of military
  • 00:32:21
    symbolism in his organization in his
  • 00:32:23
    style and some people say it was done
  • 00:32:25
    deliberately to fulfill this need of
  • 00:32:28
    being a warrior Messiah but he was not a
  • 00:32:31
    physical Warrior it was being a
  • 00:32:33
    spiritual Warrior a Mitzvah Warrior
  • 00:32:35
    spiritual so is that enough though
  • 00:32:37
    because the implication of the tanah and
  • 00:32:39
    of the rambam and of all the original
  • 00:32:41
    sources that mashir is really a physical
  • 00:32:43
    fighter like King David fought
  • 00:32:45
    physically and we do expect a physical
  • 00:32:47
    gogu magogo conflict so we expect mashir
  • 00:32:50
    to fight in that conflict to lead
  • 00:32:54
    and his troops essentially in battle
  • 00:32:57
    Yeah
  • 00:33:00
    now one of the people who fulfilled so
  • 00:33:02
    far all these qualities and was a
  • 00:33:04
    warrior and was a great time and should
  • 00:33:06
    have been mashiach
  • 00:33:08
    it says
  • 00:33:10
    he should have been mashiach but he
  • 00:33:12
    wasn't because he was missing quality
  • 00:33:14
    number three that's King Hezekiah
  • 00:33:18
    King Hezekiah should have been the
  • 00:33:20
    Messiah the talmud says that God wanted
  • 00:33:22
    to make him mashiach and the angel said
  • 00:33:24
    no because he was missing one important
  • 00:33:28
    Quality Music
  • 00:33:31
    that's what the talmud says
  • 00:33:34
    uh he was a musician mashiach has to be
  • 00:33:38
    a musician King David was a musician he
  • 00:33:40
    played the harp and the liar and so on
  • 00:33:42
    and wrote all these songs and the talmud
  • 00:33:44
    says
  • 00:33:45
    page 94. first of all it says all the
  • 00:33:49
    Prophecies of Isaiah
  • 00:33:51
    which Christians use to support to
  • 00:33:54
    describe Jesus but who was Isaiah
  • 00:33:56
    actually talking about
  • 00:33:58
    2700 roughly 28 2700 years ago who was
  • 00:34:02
    he actually talking about
  • 00:34:04
    Isaiah Isaiah was talking about Hezekiah
  • 00:34:07
    Isaiah was the prophet the leading
  • 00:34:09
    Prophet the court prophet in the time of
  • 00:34:11
    King Hezekiah and his father King ahaz
  • 00:34:14
    and his prophecies on the shut level on
  • 00:34:17
    the simple understanding king or Isaiah
  • 00:34:20
    the prophet was actually talking about
  • 00:34:21
    Hezekiah and Chris fulfilled us so the
  • 00:34:25
    talmud says fulfilled the Prophecies of
  • 00:34:28
    Isaiah Christians say no Isaiah was
  • 00:34:30
    talking about Jesus the truth is
  • 00:34:33
    like around 27 roughly 100 years ago I
  • 00:34:36
    mean there's a little discrepancy
  • 00:34:37
    between secular dating and Jewish
  • 00:34:39
    traditional dating but let's say roughly
  • 00:34:41
    2700 years ago King Hezekiah was one of
  • 00:34:44
    the descendants of King David he was one
  • 00:34:45
    of the kings of Yehuda the kings of
  • 00:34:47
    Judah and he was extremely righteous and
  • 00:34:50
    in his day the Torah was learned and he
  • 00:34:52
    was very learned himself and actually he
  • 00:34:56
    ended up marrying he was an in-law of
  • 00:34:59
    Isaiah eventually and he was his great
  • 00:35:01
    leader and he stood up to he fought Wars
  • 00:35:04
    he stood up to sanib if you remember
  • 00:35:06
    this Assyrian King who destroyed the
  • 00:35:09
    Northern Kingdom of Israel and God made
  • 00:35:12
    a miracle and sanif was unable to defeat
  • 00:35:15
    yeah get him as a finger he didn't have
  • 00:35:18
    to but in this particular conflict but
  • 00:35:20
    he was a military King as well in that
  • 00:35:23
    particular battle with sanjariv he
  • 00:35:25
    didn't God made a miracle for him and we
  • 00:35:27
    actually have historical evidence for it
  • 00:35:28
    we have found the pillars that were
  • 00:35:31
    inscribed by The King by San kherif that
  • 00:35:34
    talk about this actually and that he he
  • 00:35:36
    doesn't admit that he couldn't take
  • 00:35:38
    Jerusalem but he says that he had
  • 00:35:39
    Hezekiah hold up in Jerusalem that's how
  • 00:35:42
    he describes it in his own Victory
  • 00:35:43
    tablets
  • 00:35:45
    so we do have archaeological evidence
  • 00:35:47
    for this
  • 00:35:48
    in Isaiah there's a place where the word
  • 00:35:51
    where there's a word that has a mem so
  • 00:35:54
    feet in the middle of the word with a
  • 00:35:57
    mems of feet in the middle of the word
  • 00:35:59
    which doesn't make sense why would why
  • 00:36:02
    would it say that so the talmud says
  • 00:36:03
    that it's actually referring to Hezekiah
  • 00:36:06
    and how he was supposed to be mashiach
  • 00:36:08
    and God wanted to make him
  • 00:36:14
    that the Angels kind of that symbolize
  • 00:36:16
    the the strictness of God
  • 00:36:18
    master of the universe
  • 00:36:21
    King David David
  • 00:36:24
    he said so many songs he composed so
  • 00:36:27
    many songs for you and you lost it you
  • 00:36:30
    didn't make him and now Hezekiah
  • 00:36:35
    you did all these miracles for him and
  • 00:36:37
    yeah he might be a great guy
  • 00:36:39
    but he didn't even sing one song for you
  • 00:36:42
    now you're gonna make him
  • 00:36:44
    and so
  • 00:36:46
    God said Okay God was almost like
  • 00:36:48
    overruled that Hezekiah was not made the
  • 00:36:51
    Messiah because he was missing this
  • 00:36:53
    critical feature which is to be a
  • 00:36:54
    musician first of all why is music so
  • 00:36:56
    important we see for example the
  • 00:36:58
    prophets in in the Tana they needed
  • 00:37:00
    music to enter a state of Prophecy music
  • 00:37:03
    is something very spiritual it can
  • 00:37:05
    actually put you into a trance and
  • 00:37:06
    Elevate you really highly spiritually we
  • 00:37:10
    see for example the prophet Elisha who
  • 00:37:11
    was one of the greatest
  • 00:37:12
    he says he when he wanted to get into a
  • 00:37:15
    prophetic State he said again
  • 00:37:18
    again
  • 00:37:21
    that God's the spirit of God only came
  • 00:37:24
    upon him when the music was playing he
  • 00:37:26
    needed music to get into a trance in
  • 00:37:29
    fact there's one place that suggests
  • 00:37:31
    what was the difference between Moses
  • 00:37:32
    and all the other prophets we know that
  • 00:37:35
    Moses's Prophecy was unique Moses was
  • 00:37:37
    the greatest prophet he was different
  • 00:37:38
    than all the other prophets according to
  • 00:37:40
    one explanation how was he different
  • 00:37:42
    what made him different Moses was the
  • 00:37:44
    only Prophet that didn't need music to
  • 00:37:47
    prophesy that all the other prophets
  • 00:37:49
    actually needed some kind of music to
  • 00:37:51
    get into a prophetic trance and Moses
  • 00:37:53
    did not right he was fully aware he was
  • 00:37:55
    fully conscious and he did not need
  • 00:37:56
    music that's according to one opinion
  • 00:37:58
    but music in general something very
  • 00:38:00
    spiritual it can uplift the soul it can
  • 00:38:02
    get a person into a very deep prophetic
  • 00:38:04
    State and King David used music to get
  • 00:38:07
    into that kind of state
  • 00:38:08
    and what what instruments might mashiach
  • 00:38:11
    play if you think about if we want to be
  • 00:38:13
    more specific so King David he played
  • 00:38:15
    two instruments the harp and the liar
  • 00:38:18
    which is like a little harp a liar
  • 00:38:22
    he mentions that many times in Thailand
  • 00:38:28
    also also schminate yeah did he play all
  • 00:38:33
    those instruments it's possible we know
  • 00:38:35
    for sure from the
  • 00:38:36
    beginning
  • 00:38:39
    from the actual remember King David's
  • 00:38:42
    career in the Tanakh begins as the
  • 00:38:44
    musician for King Saul Tallman says that
  • 00:38:46
    he had over his bed right a harp that
  • 00:38:48
    when the night the wind when the
  • 00:38:50
    midnight Breeze would blow it would be
  • 00:38:52
    like his alarm clock I'll tell you one
  • 00:38:54
    very beautiful gimatria for what it's
  • 00:38:57
    worth if you look at novel and Rino
  • 00:39:00
    these two instruments do the guimate of
  • 00:39:02
    navel noon is 50 that is two lamid is
  • 00:39:05
    30. 82 and Rino if you add them up it's
  • 00:39:09
    358. 300 Novelle Andor is 358 which is
  • 00:39:14
    the gematri of mashiach so mashirk's
  • 00:39:17
    instruments are the novel and the grino
  • 00:39:19
    the harp and the liar the harp is bigger
  • 00:39:21
    the liar is more of a portable string
  • 00:39:24
    instrument the question is what is a
  • 00:39:27
    novel in hinor today because nobody
  • 00:39:29
    really today plays the harp and the liar
  • 00:39:30
    maybe there's a handful of of musicians
  • 00:39:33
    that play these antique instruments in
  • 00:39:35
    the world but these are not common so if
  • 00:39:37
    we were to ask well what is a modern day
  • 00:39:39
    harp how did the harp evolve
  • 00:39:41
    historically the harp was eventually it
  • 00:39:44
    got so big that they laid it down you
  • 00:39:47
    know by the Middle Ages they laid it
  • 00:39:49
    down horizontally
  • 00:39:50
    and then they made they made a
  • 00:39:52
    harpsichord and then after the
  • 00:39:54
    harpsichord they wanted to be able to
  • 00:39:56
    regulate the sound better so they added
  • 00:39:58
    Hammers and that was really the birth of
  • 00:40:00
    the piano right if you look at a grand
  • 00:40:01
    piano it still has the shape of a harp
  • 00:40:03
    right it's a harp lying on its side so
  • 00:40:05
    the heart became the harpsichord which
  • 00:40:07
    became the piano and so the modern day
  • 00:40:09
    harp would be a piano and what is the
  • 00:40:12
    liar the liar is a small
  • 00:40:14
    portable string instrument in the Book
  • 00:40:17
    of Daniel Daniel lists in chapter three
  • 00:40:19
    various instruments that the king
  • 00:40:21
    nebuchadnezza that his uh
  • 00:40:24
    choir or whatever that is his band used
  • 00:40:26
    and it lists a whole bunch of
  • 00:40:28
    instruments and one of them is called
  • 00:40:29
    the kitaras
  • 00:40:31
    is the origin of the guitar yeah the
  • 00:40:34
    guitar started off as as it's like a
  • 00:40:36
    portable string instrument right so
  • 00:40:38
    uh perhaps the liar and the harp are the
  • 00:40:42
    piano and the guitar which are really
  • 00:40:43
    the two most common instruments musical
  • 00:40:46
    instruments today that's how they
  • 00:40:47
    evolved historically
  • 00:40:50
    so that's music so that's the third
  • 00:40:51
    quality of of mashiach is to be a
  • 00:40:54
    musician remember God wanted to make it
  • 00:40:56
    bless you God wanted to make Hezekiah
  • 00:40:59
    the mashiach and the angel said no no no
  • 00:41:01
    no he's not a musician end of discussion
  • 00:41:03
    right if he's not a musician he can't be
  • 00:41:05
    Monica there was a harp turned into the
  • 00:41:07
    what the heart became the harpsichord
  • 00:41:09
    which is the piano yeah and the liar
  • 00:41:11
    really became the guitar
  • 00:41:14
    so that's quality number three
  • 00:41:16
    and then quality number four is a really
  • 00:41:18
    big one and it's a big one and you'll
  • 00:41:21
    find something really incredible with
  • 00:41:22
    this one and it seems so simple quality
  • 00:41:24
    number four is that mashiach has to be a
  • 00:41:27
    family person a family man that he has
  • 00:41:29
    to be married and he has to have
  • 00:41:31
    children okay we know that the Zohar
  • 00:41:34
    talks about it in several places where
  • 00:41:36
    it says about mashiach that mashiach and
  • 00:41:39
    his wife they are a person has to come
  • 00:41:42
    it says the world will continue
  • 00:41:44
    until will come
  • 00:41:47
    a woman like Eve
  • 00:41:50
    and a man like Adam
  • 00:41:54
    they will outsmart the serpent if you
  • 00:41:57
    remember we mentioned before that the
  • 00:41:59
    nahash the serpent was the force that
  • 00:42:01
    took us out of Eden and mashiach is
  • 00:42:03
    supposed to bring us back to Eden and
  • 00:42:05
    the gimatri of nahash is 358 just like
  • 00:42:07
    mashiach is 358 and the Tsar says that
  • 00:42:10
    it's going to take a man like Adam and a
  • 00:42:12
    woman like Eve to do the tikkun for Eden
  • 00:42:15
    and to outsmart to reverse what was done
  • 00:42:17
    in Eden so mashiach's wife we're talking
  • 00:42:20
    about the man mashiach but also his wife
  • 00:42:22
    plays an equally important role here or
  • 00:42:24
    almost equally important in terms of
  • 00:42:26
    going restoring mankind to the Garden of
  • 00:42:29
    Eden so mashiath is for sure married
  • 00:42:34
    well let's see and in another place in
  • 00:42:37
    another place in Missouri it talks about
  • 00:42:39
    the
  • 00:42:42
    pasuki
  • 00:42:44
    all right
  • 00:42:47
    says
  • 00:42:50
    just like a palm tree they're not going
  • 00:42:53
    to grow if unless you have a male and
  • 00:42:54
    female that pollinate each other and you
  • 00:42:57
    need to have a minimum of two palm trees
  • 00:42:58
    in an orchard so that they give fruit so
  • 00:43:00
    just like a palm tree because we say
  • 00:43:02
    it's
  • 00:43:02
    the righteous one the Messiah will will
  • 00:43:05
    flourish like a palm tree just like a
  • 00:43:08
    date palm needs both male and female so
  • 00:43:11
    too so too the righteous one
  • 00:43:15
    has to have both male and female haves
  • 00:43:18
    husband and wife just like
  • 00:43:21
    they will be like avraham and Sarah if
  • 00:43:24
    you remember the Torah says they made
  • 00:43:25
    Souls
  • 00:43:27
    they were able to inspire people and
  • 00:43:29
    work together to do mitzvot so mashiach
  • 00:43:32
    and his wife are like a a team just like
  • 00:43:34
    avraham and Sarah just like Adam and Eve
  • 00:43:36
    and how do we know will he will have
  • 00:43:39
    children well that's implied by the fact
  • 00:43:41
    that he has to re-establish a davidic
  • 00:43:43
    dynasty so if you have a dynasty that
  • 00:43:45
    implies more than one ruler and that's
  • 00:43:48
    what actually the rambam says very
  • 00:43:50
    clearly the rambam says he will die
  • 00:43:56
    after mashiach will die his son will
  • 00:43:58
    rule and then his son will rule so there
  • 00:44:00
    will be a minimum of three generations
  • 00:44:02
    in the Messianic age of the davidic
  • 00:44:05
    dynasty because it's supposed to be a
  • 00:44:06
    dynasty it's not a dynasty if you only
  • 00:44:08
    have one one king so there has to be a
  • 00:44:10
    re-establishment of a dynasty and this
  • 00:44:12
    is something really amazing because if
  • 00:44:14
    you think about it
  • 00:44:15
    [Music]
  • 00:44:17
    they came supposed to last 40 years then
  • 00:44:20
    it'll be 120 years that's going to go
  • 00:44:22
    home that's right so if you think about
  • 00:44:24
    the years we've said this before it's
  • 00:44:26
    57.83 so we only have like 200 and some
  • 00:44:29
    years left and if the rambam's telling
  • 00:44:31
    us we need three kings and if if each
  • 00:44:33
    one rules 40 years then you need you
  • 00:44:35
    still need to leave time for 100 until
  • 00:44:37
    the year six thousand you need to leave
  • 00:44:39
    like 120 years minimum of uh of of a
  • 00:44:43
    dynasty
  • 00:44:45
    also by the year 6000 the resurrection
  • 00:44:48
    needs to happen so but certainly we only
  • 00:44:50
    have 200 and some years for all this to
  • 00:44:53
    occur these three you know mashiach to
  • 00:44:55
    be the king then his son then his son
  • 00:44:57
    and there's a resurrection of the dead
  • 00:44:58
    at some point so there's all this stuff
  • 00:45:00
    that still needs to happen so there's
  • 00:45:01
    really not that much time
  • 00:45:03
    but what's really amazing about this is
  • 00:45:06
    if you note how the five major figures
  • 00:45:09
    in history that we talked about
  • 00:45:11
    Jesus did not have children Jesus was
  • 00:45:13
    not even married did not have children
  • 00:45:16
    had multiple wives didn't have children
  • 00:45:19
    finally after he already converted to
  • 00:45:21
    Islam he did have a son who he called
  • 00:45:24
    Ishmael of course but that son died
  • 00:45:27
    after just a few years as a child and so
  • 00:45:30
    he never actually had again any progeny
  • 00:45:32
    left over and again many many times also
  • 00:45:36
    did not have children he had a beautiful
  • 00:45:38
    marriage for sure so that's a major
  • 00:45:42
    quality that mashiach has to have so
  • 00:45:46
    quality number five
  • 00:45:48
    quality number five is that mashiach is
  • 00:45:49
    about so he's somebody that was not born
  • 00:45:52
    religious that he becomes religious this
  • 00:45:55
    is discussed in in multiple places why
  • 00:45:57
    is this necessary because and we talked
  • 00:45:59
    about this before that when you have
  • 00:46:01
    this a great Soul like that the sitra
  • 00:46:04
    the forces of evil are always going to
  • 00:46:06
    try to prevent that it's their job like
  • 00:46:08
    God programmed these forces to kind of
  • 00:46:11
    prevent and oppose the positive there's
  • 00:46:13
    good angels and there's there's angels
  • 00:46:15
    that do good and there's angels that do
  • 00:46:16
    not so good and it's meant to maintain
  • 00:46:18
    the Free Will and God programmed them to
  • 00:46:20
    do this and so if there's a possibility
  • 00:46:23
    for a soul to be mashiach then the sitra
  • 00:46:25
    the forces the opposing forces are going
  • 00:46:28
    to do everything possible to make sure
  • 00:46:29
    that that soul is not born
  • 00:46:32
    to keep it from coming into this world
  • 00:46:35
    and so as the arizal explains and many
  • 00:46:36
    others that Soul has to be covered up in
  • 00:46:39
    many clip there is also the same thing
  • 00:46:41
    about avraham the Ariza talks about how
  • 00:46:43
    avraham was born a Ben Nida his mother
  • 00:46:46
    was of course and he does she she
  • 00:46:47
    conceived him in a state of menstrual
  • 00:46:49
    impurity and for obvious reasons because
  • 00:46:52
    avram was the first Jew so how could he
  • 00:46:54
    not be he was by by default of Benida
  • 00:46:56
    but the resources was necessary to allow
  • 00:46:59
    the soul to enter the world
  • 00:47:04
    well he's the first Jew so he they
  • 00:47:06
    wouldn't have known the laws of Mikvah
  • 00:47:08
    and all that
  • 00:47:09
    we consider him the first Jew like the
  • 00:47:12
    first person that made a covenant with
  • 00:47:13
    God that was circumcised and that began
  • 00:47:15
    the Torah tradition
  • 00:47:17
    so their Israel talks about how even
  • 00:47:19
    avram had to be a Ben Neda on purpose to
  • 00:47:21
    because that Soul had to be covered up
  • 00:47:23
    in a lot of klipot to kind of cover its
  • 00:47:26
    light to allow it to enter this world
  • 00:47:27
    and the the idea with mashiach is very
  • 00:47:30
    similar that mashiach is born in a not
  • 00:47:32
    so holy spiritual environment and you
  • 00:47:34
    know the whole lineage of mashiach this
  • 00:47:35
    is very famous our sages point this out
  • 00:47:37
    all the time the whole lineage of
  • 00:47:38
    mashiach is full of strange
  • 00:47:40
    relationships lot and his daughter
  • 00:47:43
    produced who's then the group the great
  • 00:47:45
    grandfather I guess of Ruth and Ruth is
  • 00:47:47
    the great grandmother of King David
  • 00:47:50
    into the convert and Yehuda and Tamal
  • 00:47:52
    and there's all these weird
  • 00:47:54
    relationships with David and bacheva so
  • 00:47:56
    in the whole lineage of mashiach there's
  • 00:47:58
    all kinds of seemingly sins involved and
  • 00:48:01
    it's done on purpose to cover up the
  • 00:48:04
    soul of mashiach in a lot of klipot so
  • 00:48:07
    that his soul will not be prevented from
  • 00:48:09
    entering this world so the midrash
  • 00:48:11
    famously says
  • 00:48:15
    that there's four people that don't have
  • 00:48:19
    Arabi that didn't have a rabbi that
  • 00:48:21
    found God on their own
  • 00:48:25
    that four people were able to find God
  • 00:48:29
    on their own the first is avraham
  • 00:48:39
    and that's another enigmatic figure that
  • 00:48:41
    we have to discuss who exactly was job
  • 00:48:43
    and who what's his story we will do that
  • 00:48:46
    in the future so avraham was first
  • 00:48:48
    obviously and then eov and the third was
  • 00:48:51
    like we said who God wanted to make
  • 00:48:55
    mashiach no because if you read the
  • 00:48:57
    Tanakh where was he born his father King
  • 00:49:00
    ahaz
  • 00:49:02
    was one of the most wicked Kings of
  • 00:49:04
    Yehuda he was a horrible idolater and he
  • 00:49:07
    expunged Torah in his generation he
  • 00:49:09
    turned the Tanakh says that he made the
  • 00:49:11
    temple a place of idolatry and Chris was
  • 00:49:13
    born in that environment into that
  • 00:49:15
    context in a world where Torah Scholars
  • 00:49:17
    were hunted down there was no Torah it
  • 00:49:19
    was all idolatry the temple was
  • 00:49:21
    idolatrous and Chris came to God himself
  • 00:49:24
    and when he became king he cleaned up
  • 00:49:26
    the country re-established the Torah
  • 00:49:28
    schools and did all this great stuff to
  • 00:49:30
    restore Torah to the land and so like we
  • 00:49:33
    said was one of the potential Messiahs
  • 00:49:35
    and he was one of these people who was a
  • 00:49:37
    balchuva and found God on his own and he
  • 00:49:39
    was supposed to be mashiach as well and
  • 00:49:41
    so we had Abraham found God on his own
  • 00:49:43
    EO found God on his own found God on his
  • 00:49:46
    own and the last one
  • 00:49:48
    is also will himself come to God he's
  • 00:49:51
    not somebody that has a rebbe he finds
  • 00:49:54
    God
  • 00:49:55
    by himself so he's born into an Unholy
  • 00:49:57
    into a let's say atheistic environment
  • 00:50:01
    into a secular environment and comes to
  • 00:50:04
    God on his own so those are the five
  • 00:50:06
    qualities that mashiach must have so the
  • 00:50:09
    scholar part the Warrior part the
  • 00:50:11
    musician part the family and being a
  • 00:50:14
    balchuva the truth is being about chuva
  • 00:50:16
    it doesn't like even if somebody born in
  • 00:50:18
    the religious world could be about chuba
  • 00:50:20
    the truth is that unfortunately not
  • 00:50:22
    every religious household is really a
  • 00:50:24
    hundred percent religious and there's a
  • 00:50:26
    lot of wayward households and and even
  • 00:50:28
    somebody born into a religious family
  • 00:50:30
    could kind of go off the Derek and
  • 00:50:34
    certain rules but they're not correct
  • 00:50:36
    exactly exactly so the truth is that
  • 00:50:38
    even doesn't have to be like necessarily
  • 00:50:40
    somebody was completely secular and
  • 00:50:41
    became although that seems to be the
  • 00:50:43
    implication
  • 00:50:44
    um but it doesn't have to be that way
  • 00:50:45
    but those are the five qualities so
  • 00:50:47
    somebody like also like the
  • 00:50:48
    lubavitcherbi he would not qualify as a
  • 00:50:50
    balchuva he was born into the holiest
  • 00:50:52
    possible environment his father was a
  • 00:50:53
    great
  • 00:50:55
    yeah he Comfort his father-in-law of
  • 00:50:58
    course what was his rebbe so to say that
  • 00:50:59
    the laboratory didn't have Arabia of
  • 00:51:01
    course he did he had many he studied
  • 00:51:03
    with some of the greatest rabbis he
  • 00:51:04
    studied with the rogge over gone and he
  • 00:51:06
    had the greatest teachers the finest
  • 00:51:08
    teachers then he was born in the holiest
  • 00:51:11
    finest environment anyway so these are
  • 00:51:13
    the five qualities and we'll just
  • 00:51:15
    conclude if we were to put some numbers
  • 00:51:17
    to this just as a fun little thought
  • 00:51:19
    exercise if we were to actually
  • 00:51:21
    statistically look at how many people
  • 00:51:24
    actually have these five qualities like
  • 00:51:27
    if we were to look at the world today
  • 00:51:28
    how many people would even qualify not
  • 00:51:31
    even a handful so let's see let's put
  • 00:51:33
    some numbers let's do this real quick
  • 00:51:35
    you have about 15 million Jews in the
  • 00:51:37
    world
  • 00:51:37
    we said before that maybe 20 percent can
  • 00:51:40
    be described as being religious in some
  • 00:51:42
    way let's say 20 let's be a little
  • 00:51:44
    liberal with our numbers let's say it's
  • 00:51:46
    20 that are connected to God in some way
  • 00:51:49
    and are like living a Torah life
  • 00:51:52
    as necessary so out of 15 million
  • 00:51:57
    out of 15 million you're down to about 3
  • 00:51:59
    million right and if we're going to
  • 00:52:01
    focus specifically on the man the
  • 00:52:03
    woman's like we said the woman also
  • 00:52:04
    plays the role the wife is just there
  • 00:52:06
    just as much but if we're talking about
  • 00:52:07
    one individual then you got to cut that
  • 00:52:09
    number in half twenty percent of the
  • 00:52:11
    religious that brings you down to three
  • 00:52:12
    million let's add of those half as male
  • 00:52:15
    half as female you're down to about one
  • 00:52:16
    and a half million we know that mashiach
  • 00:52:18
    has to be a direct descendant of King
  • 00:52:20
    David which technically disqualifies KOA
  • 00:52:22
    name sorry and uh it disqualifies Levine
  • 00:52:25
    because there cannot be this assuming
  • 00:52:27
    you're a genuine Cohen then you have a
  • 00:52:29
    direct descent from Aaron and you're not
  • 00:52:31
    a direct descendant of King David the
  • 00:52:33
    good thing is that you can serve in the
  • 00:52:34
    temple when it's rebuilt it shouldn't be
  • 00:52:36
    a genuine Cohen or a levite and also not
  • 00:52:39
    a convert because somebody who converted
  • 00:52:41
    they're not a direct descendant of King
  • 00:52:43
    David also if they're father converted
  • 00:52:45
    or their grandfather or their
  • 00:52:46
    great-grandfather because once you have
  • 00:52:48
    in the paternal line a convert then
  • 00:52:50
    you're no longer a direct descendant of
  • 00:52:52
    King David so if we were to put some
  • 00:52:55
    number on it if we have one and a half
  • 00:52:57
    million in you can definitely take out
  • 00:52:59
    about a third about a third you can
  • 00:53:01
    probably take out right if you consider
  • 00:53:03
    all the coin name the Levine and
  • 00:53:05
    Converse people who have a convert in
  • 00:53:07
    their paternal lineage the truth is
  • 00:53:09
    there's some other tribe too right we
  • 00:53:12
    don't know also who might not be we're
  • 00:53:15
    assuming everybody is a yehudi is from
  • 00:53:17
    the tribe of Yoda although it's true
  • 00:53:19
    that there could be many people that are
  • 00:53:20
    not necessarily
  • 00:53:21
    from the tribe of Yoda it's possible so
  • 00:53:25
    let's say you're down to about 1 million
  • 00:53:28
    and then so you have about a one in a
  • 00:53:30
    million shot if you're a religious Jew
  • 00:53:32
    who's not a Cohen Levy or convert you
  • 00:53:34
    know assuming that you're from the tribe
  • 00:53:35
    of yudah from the descendant of King
  • 00:53:37
    David you already have a one in a
  • 00:53:39
    million shot
  • 00:53:40
    if you add up I looked up the statistics
  • 00:53:42
    of how many people are musicians that
  • 00:53:44
    are proficient in a musical instrument I
  • 00:53:47
    found different numbers uh in terms of
  • 00:53:49
    how many people have taken music lessons
  • 00:53:50
    or how many people or whatever but it
  • 00:53:53
    seems like that about 10 of the
  • 00:53:55
    population is proficient in at least one
  • 00:53:58
    instrument ten percent I don't know if
  • 00:54:00
    that's too generous or not but that's
  • 00:54:02
    the number I found so that one million
  • 00:54:04
    if you take 10 you're down to a hundred
  • 00:54:06
    thousand
  • 00:54:08
    now the biggest one is really who is a
  • 00:54:10
    real talmit who's a Torah teacher
  • 00:54:12
    mashiach is supposed to be an inspiring
  • 00:54:14
    Torah teacher who really truly knows
  • 00:54:18
    so how do we figure out how many people
  • 00:54:20
    know their stuff and can teach it King
  • 00:54:24
    Solomon said in coelet King Solomon said
  • 00:54:30
    I was my soul was looking and I didn't
  • 00:54:33
    find Adam
  • 00:54:35
    I only found one real man in a thousand
  • 00:54:39
    so the midrash rabba says what does that
  • 00:54:41
    mean when King Solomon said I only found
  • 00:54:43
    one real man out of a thousand
  • 00:54:47
    so the the midrashaba says
  • 00:54:51
    the way of the world is
  • 00:54:54
    a thousand people
  • 00:54:56
    will start learning Torah we'll start
  • 00:54:59
    learning scripture
  • 00:55:02
    a hundred will really be able to grasp
  • 00:55:04
    it and graduate to learn mishnah
  • 00:55:14
    only ten will graduate to properly
  • 00:55:17
    understand talmud and everything and
  • 00:55:19
    that implies
  • 00:55:21
    and out of those
  • 00:55:24
    that one will come out to be able to
  • 00:55:27
    teach so there's a rule that the
  • 00:55:29
    midrashram says based on King Solomon
  • 00:55:31
    what does it mean when King Solomon said
  • 00:55:33
    I only found one man in a thousand it
  • 00:55:34
    means out of a thousand people who learn
  • 00:55:36
    Torah one will actually know what
  • 00:55:38
    they're talking about will end up
  • 00:55:39
    graduating and we'll know to be able to
  • 00:55:42
    actually teach Torah and talmud and all
  • 00:55:44
    of that and mishna and Kabbalah and
  • 00:55:46
    whatever one in a thousand so and that's
  • 00:55:49
    why
  • 00:55:51
    that's the meaning of I found King
  • 00:55:53
    Solomon saying I found one in a thousand
  • 00:55:55
    so if you have a hundred thousand
  • 00:55:57
    potential
  • 00:55:58
    and you're only saying that one in a
  • 00:56:00
    thousand is capable of being a genuine
  • 00:56:02
    real
  • 00:56:03
    scholar teacher then you're only down to
  • 00:56:05
    100 people
  • 00:56:07
    out of a hundred thousand so you have
  • 00:56:09
    maybe a hundred people that are
  • 00:56:10
    musicians that are real Torah teachers
  • 00:56:13
    that are not calling him Levine that are
  • 00:56:16
    religious connected to Hashem maybe a
  • 00:56:19
    hundred
  • 00:56:20
    and then still yeah then you still need
  • 00:56:23
    what you were saying that they have to
  • 00:56:25
    be married that they have to have
  • 00:56:26
    children and that they have to have some
  • 00:56:28
    kind of warrior potential that they have
  • 00:56:30
    to be physically physically strong not
  • 00:56:33
    just your Chevrolet but also somebody
  • 00:56:35
    who's both your Chevrolet
  • 00:56:37
    so how many do you really have right
  • 00:56:39
    maybe a small handful of people that
  • 00:56:43
    would actually even qualify so it's not
  • 00:56:45
    so simple we said last time that there's
  • 00:56:47
    maybe 36 hidden in siddiquim in the
  • 00:56:49
    world that might be the number there
  • 00:56:50
    might be maybe 36 people that have the
  • 00:56:52
    potential and it doesn't really matter
  • 00:56:55
    who it is we just want that person to
  • 00:56:58
    come and hopefully we Merit to be the
  • 00:57:01
    generation where the Real the true
  • 00:57:02
    mashiach finally shows up okay we'll end
  • 00:57:05
    there thank you thank you
