The Jewish Messiah is coming

what then is the role of the Messiah so traditionally we've always thought the Messiah is the savior he will come and fix all our problems that's not the point God didn't create us with problems and then send somebody to fix our problems I mean what what you know what's kind of plan is that and fixing our problems is not a worthy goal purpose for creation we exist in order to fix our problems don't create me I won't have problems I'm going to have to fix up when Earth becomes what it can be it will be holier than Heaven which literally means that all the souls in heaven will come back to earth because this is the place to be in fact in some sense anybody who thinks that heaven is a better place than Earth is a potential terrorist right I mean if you can go to a better place you're dangerous there there is no better place and when this world becomes what God wants it to be or needs it to be it will be much greater than heaven now Heaven is eternal when Earth becomes godlier than Heaven Earth will become Eternal so there will be no death there will be no suffering there will be no pain it will be Heavenly but more Heavenly so once the world achieves its purpose it will become Eternal it will last forever and the closeness to God is also and L infinite and forever you can get closer forever because he is he is Without End so we can get closer know more about him infinitely so I guess the question is similar to you're dating and you're going out and you're meeting and you finally get engaged and then there's a wedding and you're and now you're married so now what now what that's the whole purpose now you're married we'll have to learn and I think this is the primary role of the Messiah as a teacher we're going to have to learn the excitement of a world already good today we get excited when we can fix something something needs fixing something you have to fight the the good fight for cause and for what what if everything was good would we just be bored you wake up in the morning everything's fine you meet somebody how are you fine so boring will'll never be able to say uh pretty good but my back is really and you won't be able to say that anymore what are we going to talk about if we can't quetch about our P aches and pains what are you going to talk about so we will have to learn a whole new way of challenging ourselves to be as excited to go from good to better as we are excited about going from bad to good like today we get excited about going from 0er to 60 after the world is fixed there'll be no zero no zeros it'll either be from one to 10 or from 1 to 60 or from 1 to 100 so it'll only be an increase in goodness how inspiring is that today it doesn't sound so inspiring if I'm good enough why bother but when the world really achieves its Perfection getting better will be more exciting than getting good and for that we'll have a whole new study it's like there's I think there's a subject in college uh how to live in a peacetime economy how do you run a country when you're at peace CU very few countries know what that's like so how are we going to live when the world is at Feast that's when we're really going to need to know our purpose so the Savior uh role of of the Messiah is a little exaggerated of course he'll make World he'll make the world better but primarily it's our job to make the world better what are we doing sitting around waiting for somebody else to make the world better the primary role of the Messiah is a re-education what do we do once our purpose is fulfilled for this we need a great teacher but uh to solve our problems it would be nice because if we didn't have problems we could attend to our purpose more fully but you can't make solving your problems the goal in life it's depressing the harder you try to solve your problems the worse they get you try to do something for God's purpose you're already happier and healthier and better off it's like this guy who's suing his parents for giving birth to him you've heard about the guy Rand he he's on to something he really is saying something that needs a little thought he's saying I didn't ask to be born you decided to give birth to me and now you're telling me that I have to pay the mortgage that doesn't make sense I'm not paying anything you gave birth to me you paid a mortgage doesn't that make sense I apply that to God God creates you doesn't ask you and now you have to worship Him excuse me how did that happen how did it become my responsibility when and I didn't ask for it is that a scary thought for is that liberating it can't be that I am here to have my needs satisfied cuz I didn't need anything you went ahead and created me without without even asking me so I don't need this I don't need any of it so it can't be that I exist to solve my needs I had no needs you went ahead and created me why obviously whoever created me has the need not me so you see we turn everything upside down we're used to the idea that human being beings are needy and depend on God for everything true yes but not interesting depressing and the more you focus on it oh you're so needy you're in such trouble you you need help you need to be saved you need to I didn't ask for this this is not fun on the other hand if he created me doesn't he have a need do that make more sense so the guy suing his parents they threw it out of court cuz that's not a good argument he said I didn't ask to be born so you paid a bill you know what the parents said hey we didn't ask to be born either so Grandpa should pay the bill and grandpa says I didn't ask to be born so we can't sue each other because got to go back to the source God created us it's his problem and you know what the Torah says what the Bible says the Bible is basically God saying I have a problem can you help me I need something can you can you help me how can we help him he gave us seven ways is not to worship idols not to be Blasphemous to disrespect God not to murder not to steal not to commit adultery not to be cruel to animals and to have courts of law
