The Philosophy of Evil and the Lesson of Mashiach

In this podcast, recorded two weeks ago on July 15th, 2024, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman reflect on the paradoxical character of the heathen prophet Bilaam, who despite being a great philosopher and ostensibly very 'religious,' was actually evil incarnate. For Bilaam, the greatest religious experience was anger and negativity. NOTE: This podcast is being published late and out of sequence due to Rabbi Richman's recent family circumstances. Rabbi Richman's daughter passed away just a few hours after this podcast was recorded and the family began their mourning period, and thus it was not aired on time. Next week with Hashem's help we expect to return to our regular scheduling of broadcasts.

I think the word you're looking for is doppelganger

And The Shekinah's Moshiach The King David was the reincarnated Adam, he will be born of a human man of tribe Y'hudah, which his dad is Shlomo and his grandfather was Y'hudah, and i heard from Rabbi Sprecher that all Y'hudim from our past were all Sfardim, until the Diaspora took place, and The soon to be Moshiached One will be from Sfardic roots, because he's connected to The Holy Ari'Tz'l, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria.

Also, the parsha Balak was read at the same time as the attempt on Trump. Hashem spared Bilaam just like He spared Trump. So is Trump a Bilaam? Something that shouldn't be dismissed.

Unfortunately Jim, Trump is the epicenter of the hateful rhetoric…
