What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yitzchak Botton’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

there are many ways we can get to the end goal that we're trying to reach which is Msiah Habah a perfect world a world full of peace a world where Hashem is back in his world where it's his world because we gave it back to him right now we stole most of it from him but we we give back Hashem his world and we want to reach that point and there are two essential general ways we could reach that point it is through our involvement doing our part becoming better people becoming a better world and then there's less Hashem has to do what what does that mean so the more Hashem has to do what really unfortunately turns out in reality is more judgment and more punishment if there are rockets flying through my sky that I'm underneath that that is a sign from Hashem if we only watch the news we only understand what's happening in the world but if we read the Bible with that news we understand that it's all Hashem and so it's important when you read the Bible what's the one thing that sticks out when a person reads the Bible you read a beautiful story but there's one thing that sticks out that doesn't stick out when you read the news this is a story about God
