Messianic Times-Closer Than You Think

There is a Mishna in Masechet Megilla that describes the beginning of the Messianic period. It says that, “There is no difference between this world and the days of Mashiach, except for שעבוד מלכיות, subservience to other nations.”

This is explained to mean that the Jewish people will no longer be threatened or attacked by any other people. It means that there will be absolute security for the people of Israel, in the Land of Israel. This period will be followed by other wonderful changes of peace and prosperity for the Jewish people.

During these turbulent times, things tend to be very troublesome without a clear picture of how all of this will play out.

If we gain enough clarity to see the Hand of G-d in a blatant manner since October the Seventh, we will realize that we are closer and closer to seeing a fulfillment of that statement of the Mishna.

We are witnessing the fall of our enemies, one by one. Iran, Lebanon and Hizballah, Syria, and Hamas, are all incredibly weaker in a relatively short period of time. With Hashem’s help, we will see these threats crippled entirely.

We must not lose faith and our optimism despite all of the difficulties that have come our way. We have never been closer to this first stage of the coming of Messianic times. If we stay strong and open our eyes, we will realize that these times are much closer than we realize.
