We continue in Pesukei Bitachon from the Maharal . We're now in pesukim that start with a Vav. This one, not as familiar as many others, is from Zachariah 14,11: וְיָ֣שְׁבוּ בָ֔הּ וְחֵ֖רֶם לֹ֣א יִֽהְיֶה־ע֑וֹד וְיָשְׁבָ֥ה יְרוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם לָבֶֽטַח׃ They will dwell in it ( Yerushalayim ) There will no longer be any herem (which refers to destruction) Jerusalem will sit in security, in reliance. This is a haftara that we read on Succot and it's talking about the final war of Gog U’Magog. It’s a Day of God. It describes the destruction and the obliteration of all those enemies of the Jews. In pasuk 9 it says וְהָיָ֧ה יְהֹוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־כׇּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא יִהְיֶ֧ה יְהֹוָ֛ה אֶחָ֖ד וּשְׁמ֥וֹ אֶחָֽד׃ And Hashem will be King over the whole world. On that day Hashem will be One and His name will be One, which means today His name is not One with Himself. The Gemara in Pesachim explains that we don't always react the same way to events. For good events, we say HaTov U’Metiv/ God is good and let Him continue bestowing good upon us, but when a bad thing happens. We say Dayan HaEmet/God is a just Judge , because it's hard to accept it. However, in the future, everything will become clear. It continues to describe how all around Yerushalayim , the land will be flat. The Abarbanel, in his sefer Mayaneh Yeshu a (literally the Wellsprings of Salvation ) section 11,8 explains that even though we say Yerushalayim Harim Saviv la/ Yerushalayim is secure normally in the fact it has mountains around it, in the future it will be totally flat, and Yerushalayim will be totally out in the open. And with all that, וְיָשְׁבָ֥ה יְרוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם לָבֶֽטַח׃ we will sit in peace and tranquility because Hashem Echad UShmo Echad/Hashem is One and His name is One. That is the blessing that we're waiting for. Even though we might be living in Yerushalayim now, we do not have that final beracha of וְיָשְׁבָ֥ה יְרוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם לָבֶֽטַח׃ This is one of the Pesukeh Bitachon for the fact that it arouses in us the belief in that guarantee of the Geula . The time will come, against all odds. With what's going on today, who would ever believe that there will be a time when Yerushalayim will sit securely, just relying on Hashem Echad U’Shmo Echad. No terrorists, no enemies, no United Nations. That's the ultimate beracha that we're waiting for. That's the final beracha of Sim Shalom. We're waiting for that blessing of shalom/peace. And now all we can do is rely on it. One of the reasons we read these pesukim from Navi is because we need to believe that those prophecies and promises will come true. Just like in the time of Mitzrayim, when we had difficulties. The commentaries explaini that the goal of those difficulties is to arouse in us and give us, the opportunity to have bitachon. So too today. we have to walk around with this pasuk and be confident in the fact that the time will come when וְיָשְׁבָ֥ה יְרוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם לָבֶֽטַח׃ And it will not happen through any of our devices or through any of our ideas. The only way for Yerushalayim to be secure is that, like it says in pasuk 9 וְהָיָ֧ה יְהֹוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־כׇּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא יִהְיֶ֧ה יְהֹוָ֛ה אֶחָ֖ד וּשְׁמ֥וֹ אֶחָֽד׃ And Hashem will be king over the whole world. On that day Hashem will be One and His name will be One, That's what we're waiting for. Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokenu Hashem Echad. Rashi says there that we know that now, but it's not apparent to the world. The nations do not realize that. Rashi says the same on the pasuk in Zechariah as well. All the goyim will recognize and say Hashem is One . This is an important concept because a lot of times when people work on bitachon, or pesukeh bitachon, they're working on their own personal problems. But we have to realize the ultimate bitachon is for the all-inclusive redemption. And we have to have that in mind as well, especially in these times when it doesn't look like we have any natural way to get there. We have to believe, וְיָ֣שְׁבוּ בָ
