Conversely, the illustrious Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev explains1 that this Shabbos is known as Shabbos Chazon because on this day "every Jew is granted a vision from afar of the future Beis HaMikdash." How are we to reconcile these seemingly opposite interpretations of the "vision" of Shabbos Chazon? And surely it is forbidden to destroy the entire Beis HaMikdash.3 Since G-d is bound, as it were, by the same commandments that He gave the Jewish people,4 how could He have permitted the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash, especially as this was done at His behest?5 If the Jewish people were not worthy of the Beis HaMikdash, He could simply have concealed it, as He did the Mishkan.6 The only time that destruction of a part of the Beis HaMikdash, or even a synagogue, is permitted is 2 Rambam Hilchos Beis HaBechirah 1:17.

Devarim, the first portion of the fifth Book of the Torah, is known as Mishnah Torah - the "repetition of the Torah." Although all five Books make up the one Torah, there is a difference between Mishnah Torah and the first four Books.13 12 Quoted in Reshimos HaTzemach Tzedek LeEichah, fn.
