what I'd like to talk about today which i think is a really very important topic and that is that what is not commonly known or understood you know is what happens in the era before the Messiah comes and that will give us a much greater understanding a bit much greater picture what's happening today picture what's happening today because really you know when you think about it from what I've said many times is we are really now in the era before the Messiah comes so the question is what really happens and also of course how do we understand that what's the logic of it of why this should happen and that's what I'd like to talk about you know and of course to point out those things which are happening as a result of that in order to understand result of that in order to understand really what happens before the Messiah comes it's it's a very important just understand certain fundamental eyes the ideas which over the years I've I've mentioned but just to get back into it you need this kind of framework now we ask ourselves who is God really and I once gave a whole sure about that but essentially what we realize in many ways essentially what we realize in many ways that this is really the principle that determines what's happening who is God and I I said a long time ago that there are there many ideas but very simply are not simple but God is the existence itself that means that everything that exists really has God in him or in horror or in the thing itself no it's
