Chofeitz Chayim predicted that 25 Years after WW1 there will be WW2.
Furthermore, he predicted that 75 Years later there will be a WW3 and then Moshiach will come.What do you think about this?

Nothing.
Seriously, enough predictions have been made about when Moshiach will arrive that have passed without his arrival that, for practical purposes, I don’t pay attention to any of them anymore.
I simply await the day of his arrival. If he arrives on the day someone predicted him, then good and well. And if he doesn’t arrive then, then I will await the day he does arrive without worrying about anyone’s “predictions.”

March 11, 2018 3:59 pm at 3:59 pm #1486490yid1818Participantoh…and another question….is there any connection to Chafetz Chaim and the Zohar (Midrash Ne’elam – Toldot 140a) which says that Moshiach will come 210 years before the Year 6000
=> Chafetz Chaim – 5780
=> Zohar – 5790March 11, 2018 3:59 pm at 3:59 pm #1486493Reb EliezerParticipantThe Biur Halacha Hilchas Rosh Chodesh about the year תשמג -5743 -1983 writes at the end of Siman 427 ואין לנו לדאוג כל כך יותר כי בוודאי בעת ההיא

March 11, 2018 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm #1486539Reb EliezerParticipantyid1818, I see the number 210 which is the number of years that the Jews worked in mitzraim. It is determined from Yitzchok the difference between ישחק and יצחק. It says כימי צאתינו ממצרים אראנו נפלאות so we see that the final גאולה will be similar to mitzraim.
March 11, 2018 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm #1486541Reb EliezerParticipantThe sefer עמודה שבעה compares it to a mikveh. A so comprises 144 eggs so 40 so is 5760. He said the world will be מטוהר, purified at that time.
March 11, 2018 6:22 pm at 6:22 pm #1486561Reb EliezerParticipantIt says that it is forbidden to count תיפח עצמותיו so how can we count the time when Moshiach will come? Even the Ramban on אשר ברא אלקים לעשות calculates that Moshiach will come in the 5118. The Chasam Sofer explains that this was a suitable time, but we were not worthy of it.
There is a story about someone took along his son and a guest to go to the market in Germany a place called Leipzig. When they started to travel, the son asks how much more do we need to travel? The father gets very upset and tells him, what are you asking me we just got on the wagon. They were traveling a few hours, when the guest was asking the same question. He answered him another hour. The son get upset saying why did you scream at me before when I asked the same question? The father said to him that at that time it was not
appropriate to ask the question. The comparison is obvious that we in the akavta demoshicha so now it become time to ask.March 12, 2018 8:43 am at 8:43 am #1486733yid1818ParticipantI agree, there have been many predictions about Moshiach and they have not become true.
But, the closer we get to the year 6000 the more likely Moshiach will come.
When we see what is going on in the world then there are many signs that we are I a pre-messianic eraMarch 12, 2018 11:07 am at 11:07 am #1486796CTRebbeParticipantDo you have any source that the Chofaetz chaim really said this? If so he was off bec. WWII did not start 25 years after WWI
March 12, 2018 11:07 am at 11:07 am #1486787Reb EliezerParticipantMoshiach is suppose to come unexpected. I think that strengthens the recognizing of a miracle. The Maharal explains that when someone repeats some saying in the name of the sayer will bring the redemption. Hashem wants us to recognize His miracles and give credit for it. When we mention the name of the sayer, we are giving credit to him. So surely we will similarly give credit to Hashem for the redemption.
March 12, 2018 12:31 pm at 12:31 pm #1486955JosephParticipantYaakov Avinu tried to tell us when Moshiach would come. Hashem stopped him from saying.
March 12, 2018 12:31 pm at 12:31 pm #1486959PhilParticipantWhere exactly did the Chofetz Chaim, zt”l, write that WWII would start 25 years after WWI and that WWIII would occur 75 years later? In 1930, R. Schwab, zt”l heard him say that he saw a destruction coming even more terrible than WWI but he never wrote or said anything more specific than that. The Biur Halacha was clearly his expressed hope, not his prediction.
March 12, 2018 1:03 pm at 1:03 pm #1486990Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, look at the Klei Yokor in the beginning of Parshas Vaychi that the reason that he was held back from revealing the coming of moshiach because if people know that it won’t be in their time, they become meyaash and forget that they are in galus building fancy houses and thereby extending the time when he will come.
March 12, 2018 2:00 pm at 2:00 pm #1487458yid1818ParticipantI read about the prediction of chofetz chaim in an article on brakingisraelnews.
