yichusdik -“Rabbi Akiva Eiger taught that if we succeed in growing fruit in Israel then the final geulah is imminent (as related by his student, Rav Zvi Hirsch Kalischer, Shivat Zion, volume 2, pp. 51-52).”
This means without irrigation and this isn’t how most things grow in EY.
“Meseches Megilla (17b) … the final geulah begins with the in gathering of the exiles, followed by t e flourishing of the fruits of Israel, and concludes with the arrival of the Moshiach and the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdosh.”
And acc. to most Gedolim, this hasn’t happenned yet!
If these statements are accurate, then most Gedolim did Not agree with them!
I repeat – acc. to most Gedolim this hasn’t happenned yet!
Perhaps you should rethink your stance that the Medina is the Start of the Geula?!?!
