May The Source Be With You: With Michael Macks

I'm like, guys, do you see this? It's amazing.

See this Zohar quote or like from the Talmud.

Can you believe that? What are things that you're learning now that are just like blowing your mind? You're just obsessed with.

I mean, it's probably everything, but.

Yeah, well, so recently I got into actually kind of going through the Zohar and there's so many fascinating things in there.

One thing I was reading recently is that Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai was talking about what the world's going to look like before Moshiach comes.

and the way that he describes it it sounds exactly like what we were just witnessing here in israel in the war with iran a couple months ago because he literally describes that there's going to be fire in the sky and the fire is going to be fighting the stars in the sky and it's like it sounds exactly like that's what we were looking in the sky and we were seeing fire coming and like you know the iron dome maybe that's a metaphorical star or something fighting that and the people are going to be running into caves for shelter and people are running into bomb shelters so it's just interesting that it sounds like i mean you don't i guess i don't know but it just sounds a lot like you know he was definitely tapped into something you know i would definitely have a new found respect for ravishun after reading some of the stories of him in the zohar

Yeah.

I mean, if he was saying, hey, there's going to be an Iron Dome, we're going to be running into bomb shelters and apartment buildings.

We'd be like, OK, we'd be thrown out, you know.

But no, that's that's really fascinating that he spoke about that.

And we're actually seeing it being played out now and that that was actually written and prophesized in his teachings and his writings.

Yeah, I think the Rambam when he talks about prophecy, if I'm not mistaken, maybe it's someone else, but there's one of the explanations of prophecy is that it's kind of just like there's a wavelength in the world that you're tapped into and you can kind of like the way that a prophet knows the future.

Because what does it mean that Hashem speaks to you? What does that actually mean that like you get a download from Hashem? So my friend told me, I don't know what the source, I think the source might be the Rambam, that what it means is that you're kind of tapped into like a wavelength of the world, you know, like there's a way that there's maybe there's patterns and history is part of the ingredients of that.

And there's just kind of like, you can sense you can intuit just if you're in line with reality in the right way.

And that's one way to tell the future you know it's just like it's there it's like one of the channels available that we could flip into a

frequency

yeah yeah like a frequency um i don't know the rambam also says prophecy is going to come back before mashiach comes

so how does that look like does that like everyone is that specific people does he give any details about that

He, it's just one line.

It's in his Igeret Teman.

He writes that Moshiach, I heard from my teachers, he writes that Moshiach is going to come back before, I mean, that prophecy is going to return before Moshiach comes.

He doesn't explain how, but I don't know.

And like in the Gemara, it talks in the Zohar and the Gemara, it also talks about the idea that prophecy comes through children sometimes.

And so, you know, like back in the day, the rabbis, there's all these stories, rabbis would ask children, what are you learning? What's on your mind? And they would like, you know, understand that God's speaking to them through children.
