With all that’s been going on in the world lately, and all the talk about us being in the footsteps of Moshiach, it’s hard not to think about it. But can I honestly say it’s on my mind constantly? – no. Am i sitting here in anticipation and trepidation? not really. I know it sounds terrible. But I guess I’m not on such a high madrayga. I think it’s also because we don’t really know what to expect and also the idea of a war of Gog U’magog sounds so scary – who wants to really think about it? I guess I go back and forth on this topic. It would certainly be wonderful to live in a world of peace with Moshiach as our leader and of course we’d all be in Eretz Yisroel. It’s just… we don’t know what we will have to go through before that. So i guess as humans we just go about our regular daily routine.
Since it’s Elul now – let’s all try to improve ourselves as much as possible and daven very hard that the coming of Moshiach will not first bring about disaster. May we all merit the coming of Moshiach very very soon.
