The Way of G-d

Biblical Faith - with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.

HaShem desired to reveal His will to man, and therefore prepared a process of revelation through which He makes Himself known to mortal man in the physical world. Through this process, HaShem reveals whatever He desires, whether it be His secrets and mysteries, concept of His providence, or decrees that He is issuing regarding the world. This process is called prophecy.

From the “RaMCHaL”–Derech HaShem–Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. Page 381.

Mysteries of the Creation

Biblical Faith - with Sam Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.

Rav K’tina asserts that the world is destined to exist six thousand years. In the seventh millennium it will be obliterated (changed), when the world of this verse (Isaiah 2:11) will be fulfilled, “HaShem alone will be mighty on that day”… There is proof to the opinion of Rav K’tina, for we learn, “Just as each seventh year is Shmitta, a yeay of sabbatical, so the world will have a sabbatical one thousand years in a period of seven thousand, as the novi proclaims, HaShem alone will be mighty on that day.” Another verse, Psalms 92a, indicating the same idea: “A song, a poem for the day of Shabbot,” referring to a day of utter sabbatical. “Day” in these verses means one thousand years, as we learn from, Psalms 90:4, “One thousand years in Your eyes are like a day, like the previous day just passed.”

From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 185–187.
