I knew a young man who had a very strong relationship with his Grandfather. Although he was a wonderful Grandfather to the young man, earlier in his life the Grandfather was not such a good Father to the young man's Mother. The Mother resented the relationship and one day said, "How can you be so close to a man who is such a terrible Father?". The young man said, "He is not my Father. That man is gone and has been replaced by a wonderful Grandfather. He is a different person to me than he is to you. Let me have that." The Mother agreed and the young man benefited and grew through the relationship. So did the mother and Grandfather. The terrible Father was never seen nor mentioned again.
That is word for word what happened to Lucifer, or the Holy Spirit. (not devil or satan)

I’m a gentile Christian believer and I’m finding so much joy in listening & learning from this rabbi/teacher. I’m loving learning the real Hebrew meaning of the Holy Scriptures. May God the Father bless His Special Chosen People the Jews who He says He will have an everlasting love for and God bless Israel and His favourite & important city Jerusalem.
13:30 you just blew my mind. Judge not lest thee be judged comes to mind
Timeless wisdom...we all sin and come short of the glory of God...laugh and make a friend of God...what can I do for God..he who has endless compassion..?Rabbi hold me in your arms...come soon meshach....put your arms around me...
I respect you and love your teaching,Praise God and thanks for sharing.❤️😇
I find your wisdom to be very encouraging Rabbi. Thank you for your compassion.
Thank you, this brought tears to my soul!
First time I hear that Pharo was saved and went to another place
It's midrash (google it). What's even more incredible is this Pharoah would have to be hundreds of years old to be the same one in Jonah's time.
I love listening to this Rabbi I found by accident I’m Irish I’m sixty I’ve been and seen the world. And I envy Jewish folk there way of life I worked for Jewish folk in Golders Green London as a kid or young man. I was taken under the wing of a kind Jewish man who helped me build a small construction company, I still miss him, so my customers are Jewish folk, every year I would build hundreds of huts or wooden style buildings so they could celebrate their first meal after coming out of the desert from years of roaming. Even then I knew being Jewish was something truly special. I was born Catholic and I’m wore this religion like a bad fitting cheap suit, it never fit it was uncomfortable, after years I dropped the pretence. Since the last 20 years I find God in my actions, in nature or people I pray by talking and robbing bits from other holy books . Is this wrong ' I treat people how I like to be treated. O course I’m Irish so I have another world I lived in, the conflict in my country brought me to fight the brits like all my old friends. I been and seen 3 war zones I have seen man at his worst. I have been cruel in my dealings with cruel men and treated them severely because I feared them coming back. Now I seek understanding not forgiveness I feel this to is wrong of me to not want forgiveness but I feel, or know I had no choice and more would suffer if I hadn’t acted. If a Catholic I could go to confession and be forgiven by a priest. See I feel I done my best even though God forbids the taking of life. I hope he lets me argue my case he seems a reasonable sort. If there’s any kind person out there with wise advice please tell me. AM I WRONG TO WORSHIP GOD IN THE WAY I DO.
so few things my man if I may:
God does not forbid taking on life. Heforbids murder. there is a commandment: if you know someone's coming to kill you, it's your responsibility to wake up earlier than them and kill them first. we the Jews also have a saying: he who is merciful to the cruel will be cruel to the merciful. stay interested and stay inquisitive. continue to listen just smart spiritual people from different religions and you will be able to sort out the false teachings from the truth. whatever you believe in as long as you are doing things for the betterment of the world it's all good. you don't need to be a jew to do good in this world but you do need to believe that your purpose in this world is to make it better. Rabbi Freedman has literally hundreds of lectures, they are on various subjects and they are all free. try to make an appoint with something at least one every day have you will see it how you will automatically become a better human being because he answers so many universal questions. best regards and God bless
We all must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling- - - to be one with Him
Thank You Rabbi Friedman Manis we see through EYES of Father Abraham□
Thank you rabbi
Thank you Rabbi Friedman!!
✡️🙏❤️🔥
Wish you and everybody here a great day!!
✌️🙂✌️🎶
I enjoy listening to you.
You make the reasonings of topics so very real and understanding, I feel blessed for finding you👍😃... Thank you.
Shalom. Please show me in the TNK where it says the king of Nineveh was the same pharaoh of Egypt of the time of Moses. Thank you.
It's from the oral tradition which is also considered to be the Torah.
@@gabrielkovalov8966
I already knew.
In other words, not the TNK of YHWH, but the stuff made up by Rabbis, “considered” by them to be the Torah.
@@emmanuelacharithayamim3627 How do you know it is made up?
Why don't you say the tanakh itself is made up as well? You do realize only the jews kept it for a long time and only in aramaic/hebrew.
Any translation you have of the bible is dependent on the oral tradition of the rabbis.... Because only through oral tradition the rabbis taught the meaning of the hebrew/aramaic letters.
The bible did not come with a dictionary.
It is a bit hypocritical for you to believe the oral tradition of the meaning of the words in the bible, but not the other oral tradition.
Just so you know, on mount Sinai it is written that God has given multiple Torah (Torot). As such, the smallest amount of Torah that can be, has to be two or more. For one is a singular number.
Go ask any theologian that knows biblical hebrew. Leviticus 26:46, אֵ֠לֶּה הַֽחֻקִּ֣ים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים֮ וְהַתּוֹרֹת֒ אֲשֶׁר֙ נָתַ֣ן יְהֹוָ֔ה בֵּינ֕וֹ וּבֵ֖ין בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בְּהַ֥ר סִינַ֖י בְּיַד־מֹשֶֽׁה׃
It is written" and the torot "= multiple Torah.
So not only is it impossible for you to read the Torah without the oral tradition, the bible itself tells you God has given multiple Torah.
Just think about it, any given text if it is holy needs people who can understand it's holy meaning.
Nothing in the oral tradition goes against the bible. How do we know that the bible calls adam, Adam because it relates to earth (adama) and blood (blood) and without A which is the first letter in hebrew and signifies God, there is only Dam, which means has become silent like a none living being. This A-dam is the perfect name for the first man.
Anyways, after all this, I will tell you that it is not a requirement to believe that the king of Nineveh was Pharaoh, for the sages are debated in the oral tradition of whether he was spared at the crossing of the red Sea or not.
You'd be surprised to know that even some biblical words the jews are not sure what is the meaning of the words anymore, like the word Thelet. Supposedly it is the shade of some blue color, but since the sages lost the the oral tradition on how exactly to make the color, we do not know today what color exactly it was.
God bless.
@@emmanuelacharithayamim3627said by a believer of the trinity 🤡
Two weeks ago it was the Parasha that God worte that!
But you think you know better..... 🤣
13:51
Pursuit of justice..
Sometimes your stories confuse me your interpretations can be your own and then the truth and then back to your own …
You ask a question about compassion I would think it’s the same as a conscience …
“Conscience, conscience..
if you don’t believe you have one, how can it ever pester you .”
Thank you Rabbi…
Thank you Rabbi, Shalom 🙏🙏
Exodus 14:28 (KJV) And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
A plausible interpretation: Why did the verse give a detailed listing of Pharoah's chariots, horsemen and hosts dying? To allude to the idea that all them died but Pharoah didn't. Pharoah himself isn't in the list.
I Love your message! Praise God!
Thanks Rabbi🎉❤
Thank you, Rabbi! 🎉❤This was so comforting and peaceful. And very helpful! 🎉❤ 🌹
Beautiful said. Thank you
Thank you Rabbi Manis Friedman i never knew this story so beautiful 🙏🏽
Thanks, that was a good sermon
To me, one of the key messages in this story of Jonah /Nineveh is that nobody had to convert to be redeemed/ saved from their deserved destruction. Once warned they turned themself around by becoming decent people.
King David upon understanding he was that rich man in Natan's juridic parable admitted his grave sin before God and was redeemed .. There was no need for animal sacrifice in either case.. This is to teach that God accepts
"at one ment"
from a contrite jew and gentile alike.
We have a saying that ""what is true in other scriptures post tanach is not new, and what is new is not true""
❤
Right on time! 💡
Always a pleasure learning from my people. ❤
Thanks!
Very informative ❤
Cover Job's story. Humility, surrendering, acceptation. J xoxo ❤😊
Reminds me of King Hezekiah and being a prophet not wanting to have Manessah knowing he would be wicked. But, God said, have the child period. And, in the end Mannesah repented.
Thank you
18:45 we're all made in the image. Our Father judges nobody. John 8:15
Very enlightening 🔯✡️🕎
Thanks for the excellent lecture Rabbi! Really wonderful explained the story and everything else! ❤👏👍🙏
I truly appreciate your translation of this. Now I know as Paul Harvey would say.........the rest of the story. Good day!
We say back then, based on time, but what thing laid down in time is true? Meaning the scratches on paper or rock, could have created, when one wakes in the morning. The very act of looking, comes with what one expects, and so can we trust yesterday. Did that memory arrive, this day? Quantum thoughts. Is today, the only day, that matters? I do not normally contemplate this way. No one can hear Jonah, in the whale, except ...( )
This is funny: I checked the social links, like 5 of them, and I do not have those. Not a problem, but it made me laugh.
Thanks.
5:39 skip the intro
12:50 the moral of the story
18:14 it's harsh words that lead to murder. If only we all had a silver tongue.
Was having some interesting discussion with Caaninite Palestinian about when Abraham when he crossed the Euphrates and people callede him evret"My friend, even Jewish experts will tell u The word Hebrew was used later on bec Abraham’s great great grandfather is ‘Eber meaning “the one who crosses” meaning the nomad. Abraham said and it is written in the Bible that his ancestors were roaming Arameans. So Hebrews are Arameans. What we call “Hebrew” is not the original Aramaic language of ancient Hebrew tribes but it is a Canaanite dialect mixed with some Aramaic influence. The garden of Eden is an allegory from Sumer bec Eden is a Sumerian word meaning “the plain” or the meadow. These are symbolisms used by Jewish prophets after the exile of Babylon" 🤔
To be afraid of God,but not the storm or death,that is understandable.
I thank you for your comment today your words are a blessing to me, I’m Irish but I still love the true word of a true God. Thank you your comment helped me make a decision I’ve been hiding from.
If you keep imagining God to be as yourself, you will miss the importance of the testimony of Jonah, and perish in your sins, according to the Word of God.
The secret is that we are Jonah and the Whale is God. Just like the earth in space. And our heart in our bodies. all is one
Diese Geschichte gibt es in allen Religionen in Liebe🙏🤗💕💕💕💕💖
Got to correct you Rabbi. Jonah boarded a ship in Joppa (which you might have heard of) heading for Tarshish. Given that he was trying to get away from Nineveh chances are he was heading for the city in Iberia rather than any place in Anatolia.
Are you sure? The echo is everything in this new age? Jonah just hated the people like I want to…it’s obedience that helps me love. Rabbi help me, I have hell. 💙
God has a sense of humor. If not, then I read Jonah all wrong. I can't read Hebrew but I'd love to try. Maybe the 25% of me that's Jewish will help me learn.
25% how did you come to that?
@MacLevistein lol
Excellent conversation
It seems that the religious teachers, they expect the maximum from everyone .
Leading to people quit all faith,, atheist
Amen
The secrets are beyond the pshat
Thanks to Jonah, the gentiles are saved...
The Rabbi is good at mincing words-citations-phrases to create an hypothesis that's believable But meaningful perfection only manifested by actions & deeds, not with garb, prose, or rituals. His Way!
Another aspect to consider. Nineva was also the capital of the Assyrian Empire (Neo-Assyrians to be exact). By their own records were a brutal, barbaric people and enemies of pretty much everyone, including the hebrews. They were also known for retaliating with disproportionate retribution. The fact, God wanted Jonah to go to Nineva and warn the people to repent should speak volumes.
As note, Nineva is smack dab in the middle of Mesopotamia, modern day Iraq. The complete opposite direction of, well, any sea.
12:30 they're called the Abrahamic religions now. How are we all linked up?
Doesn't servant sound better than slave?
12:40 how do all prophets prove the existence of Abraham?
💗
❤❤❤❤
B"H
What is the Zoom link and time? I'm in Mexico City.
Thank you!!
How do you demonstrate that the king of niniva was pharaoh?? What is your source?
Where does he say that above? I didn't hear him say that. Blessings!
😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😂😂
Nice one Rabbi 👏👏👍
THE USA WILL FACE THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES 40 DAYS AFTER THE ECLIPSE OF APRIL 8 2024 I HOPE ALL WILL HEED THIS WARNING !!!
The sign of Jonah....
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
14:45 enough are worthy of salvation. Science and sociology already explain why. We are creatures of habit.
How was Ismael corrupting Isac?
And how was Ismael wicked?
Jonah is like many, he would rather see a whole city destroyed and watch it from underneath a shrub. Then the worm ate the shade and Jonah was more upset because he was suffering by sitting in the sun and God was sad at Jonas lack of mercy. Some are like this.
The word Hebrew in the quran is ebry in arabic means crossing over
8:17 what if it all is Israel?
DOES NOT MATTER ARE RELIGION FOR OUR SOULS ARE ALL THE SAME IM JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ELEMENTS OUR SOULS ARE MADE OF WHEN THE SOUL LEAVES THE BODY IT HAS TO BE MADE OF SOMETHING WHETHER IT BE OF ATOMS OR NEURONS OR GASES IT HAS TO BE MADE OF SOMETHING WE NEED SUPER COMPUTERS TO FIGURE THIS OUT
🙏🤗💕💕💕💕💖
Thank you i didnt know Pharaoh was king of Nineveh.....?!
I know pharoah survived and went as far as nineveh. But, that pharoah was not alive during Jonah? Maybe another who knew?
how could pharaoh become king of niniveh?
or could it be different pharaoh?
egypt and niniveh is on the whole different side of the map.
😅
Jonah set out to warn of the impending Day of the Lord, is swallowed by the Beast out of the Sea and is spewed out upon the shore as the Beast out of the Earth while the sun beats down upon his head and a burning east wind begins the Way of the Lord in the Desert.
Down I went to the roots of the mountains; the bars of the nether world were closing behind me forever (Jon 2:7 NABO)
For by my wrath a fire is enkindled that shall rage to the depths of the nether world, Consuming the earth with its yield, and licking with flames the roots of the mountains. (Deu 32:22 NABO)
God sent a worm which attacked the plant, so that it withered (Jon 4:7 NABO)
I am a worm, hardly human, scorned by everyone, despised by the people (Psa 22:7 NABO)
He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from the parched earth... He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity... spurned, and we held him in no esteem. (Isa 53:2-3 NABO)
"I would be better off dead than alive." (Jon 4:8 NABO)
the sunrise is the same
17:00 isn't everyone forgiven? Isn't it about spirituality conquering the flesh?
Imagine the people on the coast who see a whale beach itself and then puke up a man. His skin is pure white and he is hairless. Word spreads of this. He walks all the way to Ninevah and then starts preaching destruction in 40 days. Do you repent. Darn right you do.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Why does nobody look at the Books for what they are? Those were the newspaper for their time.
No they are deeper than you or anything you could imagine.
What's up with the gourd
The story in the quran that pharo downed and god saved his body to be seen
12:00 isn't the call to repentance really a "Christian' thing? We are constantly called to redemption. How does G-d ever win one?
xstns toga that repentance from the used to strengthen presented in the wrong way. repentance originates from the Jews
18:20 this fight is older than the pharaoh. Who is the debt owed to? Doesn't the bible talk about some heavy rocks?
The ECHO.
So surprised by the complete manipulation of the stories. Can see that the words of God have been completely changed.
Was that the King Jame's manipulation of the words of god or the other ones. 😇
so are you following Jonah now because your video is reflecting his current reincarnation
What did Jonah eat and drink while captive inside the whale to stay alive ??
You made me look to see how long (3 days), which led to parallels. In a stomach, is there food? Also, do not forget, who else was working this thing.
"Lord had prepared a great fish." - He set the circumstance to occur.
@@Eye_of_state I'm surprised the heat of the animal and possibly no air for Jonah but we know who and what was involved so it makes sense .
Except the 2 pharaohs are 1000 years apart and ignores the people of heber,
They have been killing them all, I don’t believe they were prophets, only Jonah. Yet they killed them all.
This is funny but whales do spit humans out . They don't like the taste .
OR??? Is this saying for a Corrupt and Sinful King/Leader to Repent is the Biggest Fish Story ever told??? 🙂 These Stories are to Help us THINK and LEARN... Blessings!
Rabbi, I need help. I don’t deserve help, I know. Do you believe in the maiden of the house of Judith? Jonah is the New Jerusalem, Rabbi. I need help. I have cancer of the breast. Jonah is the NEW JERUSALEM, a gift to the church.
This explanation is extra Biblical. It has no relation whatsoever to Biblical truth. The story that the Pharoah of the Exodus was later the king of Ninevah is not true. That Pharoah had been dead for centuries by Jonah's time..
What Jonah did had nothing to do with how God dealt with Israel. The part about Ishmael once again had nothing to do with Jonah...irrelevant.
Not a whale..a fish!...it says God prepared a fish....a whale is not a fish
