The host, Chosia, introduces the episode, highlighting that they will be discussing Rabbi Eli Yahu Kin, a rabbi who practices Kabbalah. She encourages viewers to grab popcorn and subscribe to the channel.
Lecture Overview and Context
Rabbi Kin begins by referencing a lecture he gave seven years prior about the crisis in Israel, intended to provide an overview of global events. He states that the current lecture will focus on what to anticipate in the future, describing the times as exciting due to the approaching of Mashiach. However, he also warns of terrifying events to come, prompting listeners to decide if the times are truly exciting. He acknowledges that these are troubling times, not only for Israel but for the entire world.
The Question of Redemption
Rabbi Kin discusses a tradition where, after death, Jews are asked if they looked forward to redemption. He differentiates between "waiting" and "looking forward," emphasising that looking forward demonstrates care and focus on the real purpose of life: bringing about the kingdom of Hashem. He laments that not everyone is focused on this, and that some may be more interested in personal gain.
The Importance of Looking Forward
The rabbi explains that looking forward to redemption shows care and interest, and focuses one on the real purpose and mission of humanity, which is to bring about the kingdom of Hashem. He contrasts this with those who are not focused on this mission.
The Consensus on Mashiach's Arrival
Rabbi Kin shares that he recently returned from Israel, where he found a consensus among rabbis and mikubalim that they are at the threshold of Mashiach's arrival. He notes that this sense of urgency is new to him, and he feels compelled to share what needs to be done to prepare for the redemption.
Prophecies and the End of Days
The rabbi mentions that the prophets speak at length about what is going to happen, and there are many prophecies about the end of days. He references the Rambam, stating that many details will not be understood until closer to the time. He also mentions Danielle, whose prophecy is sealed but will become clearer as the time approaches.
The "Bir" - A Process of Refinement
Rabbi Kin introduces the concept of a "bir," which means a refinement or filtering process where the good will be separated from the bad. He acknowledges that some Cabalistic concepts can be difficult to understand and promises to simplify them.
The Imperfect World and Free Will
The rabbi explains that the world is imperfect, allowing humans to rebel against the almighty, which is part of free will. He references the story of Adam and Kaba (Eve), which reminds us of the ongoing struggle between right and wrong until Mashiach comes.
Abraham's Discovery
Rabbi Kin states that Abraham discovered that there is a "boss" who wants us to believe in him and do what is right and just. He asserts that the Jewish people received this responsibility and mission to disseminate to the world that Hashem is one and expects compliance with his commandments.
Mashiach's Role in Repairing the World
The rabbi explains that Mashiach's job is to redeem us, bring us back to the land of Israel, and rebuild the Beta Mikdash (the Temple). He says that when Mashiach comes, the world will be perfected, returning to Hashem's original blueprint of a perfect paradise.
The Mixture of Good and Evil
Rabbi Kin describes the current state as "anuvia," a mixture of evil and good created by Hashem to allow for free will. He says that these forces coexist, and it is up to us to choose between them. He laments that humanity has often chosen the forces of evil, leading to wars and slaughter.
The Impending Separation of Good and Evil
The rabbi states that right before Mashiach comes, there will be a "bir," a separation between good and evil. He says that this separation is coming to an end, and evil will cease to exist. He references Zakarani, who said that two-thirds of the world will disappear, with only one-third remaining to be purified.
The "Rav Erev" - Those Who Joined from Evil
Rabbi Kin discusses the "Rav Erev," those who joined the Jewish people when they left Egypt. He explains that their source is evil, and they lack divinity in their souls. He says that they have caused tremendous problems throughout history, referencing the golden calf as an example.
Souls and Divinity
The rabbi explains that, according to the Cabala, some souls are more divine and automatically attracted to doing the right thing. He says that some non-Jewish souls are also attracted to Judaism due to this divinity, while others lack this divinity and are not interested in doing the will of Hashem.
Identifying the "Birionim" - The Strong Fellows
Rabbi Kin identifies a group called the "Birionim" from the second temple era, whom he describes as strong fellows or mafia who tried to impose their will on the majority. He says they forced the rabbis to fight the Romans, contributing to the destruction of the second temple.
Reincarnation and the Return of Souls
The rabbi discusses reincarnation, stating that the Zohar says many souls will return right before Mashiach comes, including souls from the time of the flood and the tower of Babel. He says that some of the souls of the "Birionim" will also return and live with them at the time of Mashiach, becoming leaders.
Hypocrites and False Leaders
Rabbi Kin warns that hypocrites with great facades will be their leaders before Mashiach comes. He says that these leaders are leading the Jews astray, taking them away from the Torah. He accuses them of robbing Jews of their traditions, claiming that this is not Jewish and belongs to the other camp.
The Filtering Process and Identifying the Sides
The rabbi reiterates that there will be a filtering process, and the evil will be attracted to the evil, while the good will be attracted to the good. He says that they will be able to tell who is on which side, referencing Danielle and Ezekiel.
The Gates of Holiness and the Truth
Rabbi Kin states that when Mashiach comes, all the good promised through the prophets will be received, and the gates of holiness will open up completely. He says that in order for the truth to come out, everything false and evil must be removed.
Natural Disasters and Their Meanings
The rabbi says that right before Mashiach comes, there will be tremendous natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. He explains that earthquakes happen because Hashem is upset that his Beta Mikdash is not built yet, or because of homosexuality. He says that floods are meant to purify the impurities of idol worship and prostitution.
Surviving the Impending Events
Rabbi Kin addresses the question of how to survive the impending events, stating that those not involved in the camp of evil will be saved. He says that people will have to make a decision to be on the righteous camp or the opposing camp, and Hashem will give them a chance to awaken.
The Collapse of Empires and the Economy
The rabbi warns that all the empires they knew will collapse, including a tremendous collapse in the economy. He suggests that the weakening of the dollar may be related to this. He references Jacob's dream, stating that all powers will eventually come down, except for Israel.
The Battle Between Good and Evil
Rabbi Kin describes the wars to come as a battle between good and evil forces. He says that the frightening events will awaken people and give them a final chance to realise not to put their trust in materialism, which is the greatest obstacle in the service of Hashem.
Materialism vs. Spirituality
The rabbi contrasts materialism with spirituality, stating that they are totally different. He says that those involved in a materialistic lifestyle are not sensitive to that which is spiritual and are detached from their real mission in life.
The Blessing and the Gentile
Rabbi Kin discusses the blessing where Jews thank Hashem for not having made them a gentile. He explains that this is not meant to discriminate against non-Jews, but to express happiness and pride in the opportunity to serve Hashem. He says that whether one is Jewish or not will depend on their conduct throughout life.
Assimilation and the Call for Unity
The rabbi warns that many Jews have assimilated to the ways of the goim and may be more like goim. He calls out to his brothers and sisters in the conservative and reform movements, urging them to re-evaluate who they are and to return to true authentic Judaism as written in the Torah. He says that very soon, there will not be any more chance to do teshua (repentance).
Outro
The host concludes the episode, encouraging viewers to comment and share what they learned. She also promotes the podcast's website and merchandise, and ends with "Christ is king and always always always always free Palestine."
