Tell Everyone: There's A Prophet

Dvar Malchus for Kids | June 20, 2025

Based on the Dvar Malchus of the Shabbos Parshas Shoftim, 5751

Let's start off with a question. In the beginning of the parsha it says, "You will set up judges and law enforcement officials for yourself," while about the geulah it says, "And I will restore your judges as at first and your advisors as in the beginning..." The police disappeared and in their place are advisors. Why (during the geulah) will the police disappear and advisors appear on the scene?

The judge's (Rav's) job is to make a decision and give a psak according to the Torah. The policeman's job, in contrast, is to make sure that this decision is carried out. If someone refuses to do what was decided, the policeman comes with a stick and strap and enforces the law.

During the geulah, the yetzer hara, something that bothers and tries to stop a person from listening to the judge or Rav's decision, will disappear. People will be happy to carry out what the Torah says on their own. The police will no longer have to force them do what they are supposed to do.

The police will now have a new job. They will announce what the judge decided and help carry out this decision. They will be able to direct traffic and divert it if necessary when witnesses who saw the new moon have to hurry up and report what they saw to the beis din...

Advisors will take up the position the police once had. An advisor will be like a mashpia or a good friend who shows and explains the good and virtue of following a Torah way of life, thereby encouraging and instilling within him the will to continue on such a path.

The advisor – the mashpia, causes a Jew to want with all of his heart to follow in the ways of the Torah. Good will isn't always enough, for there are always difficult jobs that are seemingly impossible.

Now the judge – the Rav, steps into the picture. He's way above us in all aspects, and doesn't relate to what a person wants. When he gives his psak halacha and decides upon a certain way of conduct, Hashem gives the person the strength and ability to carry out the Rav's decision. When the time will come for the judges and advisors to return and they will do their job, there will no longer be a need for the police.

Throughout the generations the Jewish nation prepared for the geulah. There were Rabbanim in place of judges who instructed us how to act and what to do. Every community also followed and had what it says in Pirkei Avos, "...Asei licha Rav..." referring to a mashpia who gives advice in matters of yiras Hashem and avodas Hashem. The Rabbanim and mashpiim cause a Jew to serve Hashem with every limb in his body, suitable for the time of our geulah.

Raboseinu Nisieinu – The judges during the redemption

What we just mentioned was applicable when we were really deep in golus. Now let's talk about the real judges and advisors of the geulah who are already here!

As such, Raboseinu Nisieinu Nisiei Chabad, starting from the Baal Shem Tov and the Alter Rebbe until our generation, are the real and authentic judges, for they are really way above us. One cannot compare or appreciate them at all. When they say something we have to do it. We are given the strength and ability to do so. They are also the real advisors, because they revealed to us toras hachasidus, something that influences our intellect and feelings to go in the ways of Hashem. They also give personal advice and guidance. Almost three hundred years have passed and under their influence and merit Jewish hearts all over the world are being aroused to serve Hashem.

They are also the true nivieem who can give advice in business, health, family, and any matter that requires us to know what to do.

Our generation merited and is ready for the complete geulah with the real judges and advisors, and as such the police can already go home. At this point in the sicha, the Rebbe Melech Hamoshiach Shlita gives each and every one of us a special job...

"...We have to let everyone in our generation know that we merited that Hashem chose and appointed a person that has free choice who on his own is incomparably higher than those in generation. He gives directives and advice regarding a Jew's service to Hashem and for others in this generation in all matters of Torah and mitzvos as well as (giving directives and advice on) daily life and conduct issues on a general scale, in addition to (giving directives and advice) 'Bechol dirachecha daeihu' (knowing Hashem in all of your ways) and 'Vichol maasecha yihiyu lishem shamayim' (and all of your deeds should be for the sake of Heaven)...Until the most important prophesy, the prophesy of 'Lialter Ligeulah' (the geulah should take place immediately) and immediately mamash 'hine ze moshiach ba' ("Moshiach has come")."

Our job is to be policemen during the geulah, to let everyone know that we have a judge, the prophet of the generation, the Rebbe Hamelech Hamoshiach; he is so much higher than we are, but he chose to lower himself in order to lead and direct us. Every Jew and non-Jew should turn to him for direction and guidance regarding his purpose in life, how to act on a daily basis, whether in personal or family matters. Most important is to listen to and realize the importance of the prophesy of "Behold, Moshiach has come."

First of all I have to act and do according to the Rebbe Shlita Melech Hamoshiach's holy directives and influence my family members to do likewise. Furthermore, I have to make sure that every Jew in this generation throughout the world and across humanity, including non-Jews, follow the Nasi Hador's, the tzaddik yisod olam's directives and instructions.

In the merit of this work, we should merit our judge's return back to us, to the Holy Land and to the Beis Hamikdash, immediately and right away, mamash.
