(b) On what grounds does Rebbi Yochanan object?

(c) So how does Rebbi Yochanan interpret "li'Veli Chok"?

(a) Considering that Shem was the third son of No'ach, and Arpachshad, the third son of Shem, how does Resh Lakish explain the Pasuk in Zechari'ah, which states that, in the days of Mashi'ach, only one third of the sons of the people of the world will remain?

(a) Based on the Pasuk in Yeshayah "ba'Yom ha'Hu Yiheyeh Hashem Tzevakos la'Ateres Tzvi ... ", what does Rebbi Elazar Amar Rebbi Chanina say will happen to those who 'do the will of Hashem and hope for His Glory'?
