At The Brink of Mashiach [#14219]

August 3, 2021

Question:

1) I have heard in the name of a certain hidden tzaddik who said that Mashiach can come now and fight with his power of tefillah (as R’ Nachman of Bresslov taught, that Mashiach will fight the final war through his tefillos alone) but he needs the tefillos of regular people to assist him, and now the time has come to reveal the order of 10 chapters of Tehillim to say (31, 35, 36, 60, 68, 80, 83, 88, 89, 109). What does the Rav think about this?

Answer:

There are several different revelations from tzaddikim about saying varying different orders of 10 specific chapters of Tehillim, and this is one of the possible ways.

Question:

2) With the closer we get to Mashiach, will the Gedolim be revealing secrets and certain revelations to the tzibbur of Klal Yisrael, to prepare Klal Yisrael for Mashiach’s arrival? And what if we hear about certain revelations that come from certain tzaddikim (or at least from those who are known as tzaddikim) but the revelations aren’t being confirmed by famous Gedolim who are guiding the Torah world? Should we still follow those tzaddikim or should we suspect that it’s not the way of the Torah?

Answer:

During the current 6000 year period that we are in, the generation is led by those who mastered the Pshat (simple understanding of Torah) and Halachah, and the mantle of leadership is not given to those who have mastered the sod, the secret dimension of Torah. It will be this way until Mashiach comes.

Question:

3) Now that there is an evil government in Israel, do we need to see it all as a terrible decree on Torah Jewry because this is a government that wants to destroy the entire Torah world? Are we supposed to be broken over this and doing teshuvah? Or should we instead rejoice that their end is near, because “Before brokenness is pride”, and therefore the more successful the “Erev Rav” becomes, the faster their downfall is approaching?

Answer:

We should add onto the pain of all the pain from until now, for the pain is indeed very great. And we should yearn for and daven, for the Geulah.

Question:

4) Is the new prime minister the “head of the Erev Rav”, the soul of the wicked Armelos who will appear in the end of days to fight Mashiach, since his hatred for the Torah is unmatched by anyone else before him?

Answer:

No.

Question:

If a bochur or kolel avreich just learns Torah as usual these days and doesn’t seek to build his pnimiyus (inner world) and doesn’t try to actively do teshuvah, and instead he just learns 3 sedarim a day and davens all 3 tefillos a day and behaves as usual, is he doing enough to merit Mashiach?

Answer:

If he does it earnestly (with temimus), Hashem will open up his pnimiyus properly!

Question:

Only the “tzaddikim” will be zocheh to the Geulah, so what makes a person today from the tzaddikim? Is it determined by having nothing to do with Internet? Is not having Internet the single factor that makes a person into a tzaddik today? Is having Internet versus not having Internet the deciding factor that determines the difference between the righteousness or wickedness of a person?

Answer:

It is the main and most fundamental aspect of what determines one’s level, but there are also other branching aspects that are additional factors in determining if one is from the tzaddikim or not.
