Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

“CS, The Klei Yokor says that Yaakov Avinu could not reveal the time of redemption because if people know that it will not be in their time, they stop hoping, be meyaesh, give up and forget that they are in galus and will not do anything to bring it and thereby they are postponing it more.”

Yes that is brought in the sicha. But the Rebbe asks why would Yaakov Avinu want to tell them to begin with? He couldve figured that out himself.

So the Rebbe explains that the ketz then was yetzias Mitzrayim, which could have been the final one if they were zoche (not the Geula were still awaiting) and he wanted to encourage them to put in special effort to ensure that no chataim would prevent it from being the final one.

However Hashem wanted it to be completely by their own efforts so by him not telling them, they would have a more complete Geula.
