The Time of the Truth

What does it mean that HaShem has forgiven Anshei Knesset Hagedolah? It means that HaShem agreed to apparently withdraw from history. It also means that history follows the plan of the Torah, the five books of Moshe. HaShem as it were endorses the Torah, as far as history is concerned, from the time of Anshei Knesset Hagedolah.

This must end, however. When will it end? It will end when Yerushalayim has been rebuilt. When in Yerushalayim the house of HaShem will have been rebuilt. All this building is the task of Moshiach ben Yosef. But the operation is the task of Moshiach ben David. This must be so, as the Cohanim of Bnei Yosef are not Cohanim of HaShem.

This, then, is the secret of 410-417-420, which is from the Torah of Moshe, and the secret of 420-288-464, which is not from the Torah of Moshe. The two meet at 420, which is 5786, the time of the Truth.

Your Youth Will Return

I brought Tehilim 103:1-5, because David wrote it to "Anshei Knesset Hagedolah":

Your sins are awesome, the pit of destruction is the Din. But, Hashem forgives at the moment of Shoah. Because, I, David, forgive. As I was healed after sin, so will you. Kindness and Mercy overcome the Din. Your mouth will be sated with Chalav and Dvash. Your eyes and your ears will be renewed. Your youth will return, on the eagle’s wings.

Tehilim 103:1-5

לדוד ברכי נפשי את־יהוה וכל־קרבי את־שם קדשו
ברכי נפשי את־יהוה ואל־תשכחי כל־גמוליו
הסלח לכל־עונכי הרפא לכל־תחלאיכי
הגואל משחת חייכי המעטרכי חסד ורחמים
המשביע בטוב עדיך תתחדש כנשר נעוריכי

Of David, bless Hashem, O my soul, and all that is within me - His Holy Name.
Bless Hashem, O my soul, and forget not all his kindnesses.
Who forgives all your sins, Who heals all your diseases.
Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with kindness and mercy.
Who satisfies your mouth with goodness, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

(Artscroll's translation. It is rather wanting.)

The Truth Replaced

What have they done? The Truth they replaced by majority rule. The Halacha was to be determined by the Rov, the majority. That is what the Chachamim have done, the Anshei Knesset HaGedolah. Together we will decide, they said, we, not G-d, together. About this, David HaMelech said (Tehilim 14, see also Tehilim 53):

יהוה-- משמיים, השקיף על-בני-אדם
לראות, היש משכיל-- דורש, את-אלוהים
הכול סר, יחדיו נאלחו: אין עושה-טוב--אין, גם-אחד

HaShem-- From Heaven He gazed down to man to see if there be one that reflects, one who seeks G-d. They have all gone astray, together gotten polluted, none does good, not even one.

Did they do wrong? They caused enormous pain, על ה' ועל משיחו.
