Exciting Facts that we’ll have by Geula

Gadolhadofi, judging by your posts, the source, (a sicha of The Rebbe with footnotes to other sources, but it’s the Rebbes chiddush) most likely wouldn’t interest you. But it’s exciting for me. I’d love to hear what you find most exciting about the geula.

And sly Fox, why do you think that? The internet is pareve- it’s how you use it, unless your personal Rav assured it so it’s an Aveira for you?

Gadol hadofi the source is Sefer HaSichos 5751, Sichas Tazria Metzora, last ois (יד). See the footnotes as well for other sources brought

AAQ

“I am confused – to what degree we expect rules to change in bm3? Chofetz Chaim wanted Yidden to learn kedoshim to be ready. Now, we here that radom CR posters will wander around like they are kohanim gedolim as long as they see themselves “on the level”

are you familiar with the 2 time periods of ימות המשיח? The first 40 years will be עולם כמנהגו נוהג, and the second will start with תחיית המתים and be miraculous.

I’m not sure which time period it would fall into- it would make sense that it would be the second for several reasons. But I don’t have an explicit source though for when, just logic.

Even someone who was a kohen couldn’t just become a kohen gadol because he wanted to (except for the time of corruption when the kohen gadol died every year). I assume there will be some sort of committee set up to ensure only people who are at the proper level will be allowed entry. It makes no logical sense that the holiest place in the world would be disrespected by being open to anyone to randomly walk in, when even the smallest Rebbe has a shamash who ensures there’s order and respect.

Sly Fox- holiness in Yiddishkeit doesn’t mean secluding yourself from the world (although a period of that is necessary) we are not monks. The purpose of living in this world, instead of staying as neshamos, is to elevate everything permissible that we can. So I still don’t see the contradiction between using the internet as a means of spreading Torah etc. and reaching a high level

Bob what makes you think I’m a troll?

Some more exciting features of the geula:

1) we’ll be able to SEE Hashem (like a sixth sense will be added to detect Elokus in everything)

2) we’ll learn directly from the greatest teacher of all times- moshiach himself will teach every single Yid

3) moshiach will teach in a visual experiential way (I a holograms are a good preparation for this idea)

Btw if anyone is concerned about gashmius, we’ll have so much gashmius (as a result of the elevated level of ruchnius) that it won’t have value anymore- it’ll be the price of dust.

But it will still be best quality gashmius- for example, chazal tell us that an ear of grain will be the size of an ox’s kidney, and that clothing and pastries will grow on trees (exact citations welcome).

And in case you’re worried about adjusting to a different world, most likely the first 40 years will be the same nature that we’ve been used to until now. People will still die, although 100 years old will be considered a young age to die, etc.

But we won’t have a yetzer hara although there will still be evil around us. So it’ll be a very cool time to advance in avodas Hashem and prepare for stage two which will be kicked off by the famous seuda and tchias hameisim.

Besalel- I’ve referred to that quote from the Rambam in other posts. Point being?

Hi, I may not be as active for the next while, but will try to respond to posts when I’m on. A gutte voch from my locality.

To Motcha: allow me to reframe your post:
(Kalla teacher). Hi kalla. I heard that you’re very excited for your wedding and building your bayis neemon and that got me somewhat worried so I’m calling to set you straight. Let’s start with the wedding. You know, the one you’re dreaming of all day. Here’sa reality check: many families have disputes on at least something during the engagement period, so there’s likely to be hard feelings between them. Also, mothers in law are known not to like daughter in law, and she’s likely to offend you at the wedding, if not earlier. Did you know there’s been many chassanim who have had to miss most of their wedding because they got glass in their foot?

And don’t get me started on after the wedding. The shana rishona is the hardest year of marriage. (Etc etc)

Pregnancy? Morning sickness, no energy, you may need bed rest etc.

Birth? You want to give birth??? Are you mad??? You could die!!

Motcha, the point of my previous post is to emphasize that this is totally the wrong attitude. The Rebbe educated us about moshiach in a way of how exciting it is, how every Jew will be included, how it s the best thing for us bgashmius uvruchnius etc. Learning about moshiach and geula from this angle helps us to be truly excited and anticipate his coming.

Motchas depiction is very negative. One who thinks of the geula in this way will definitely find it hard to look forward to Moshiach’s coming. Just like we wouldn’t speak to a kalla in a realistic but negative way about her upcoming marriage etc, so too with geula.

That being said, the Frierdiker Rebbe referred to the Holocaust as chevlai moshiach, so hopefully we’re past that already and can just look towards the positives. And even if there would be a price to pay, if we know all the particles it outweighs the negatives, and we want moshiach nonetheless….

Ysiegel (very possible we’ve met in person) I’m not sure what you’re writing in response to. If quoting the Rebbe/ following The Rebbes directives to learn about inyonei geula umoshiach, and share with others, in order to be excited for the geula, is shameful to you, maybe find a rebbe/ rosh yeshiva that you’re not embarrassed by…

Although there is time to wind down, for me at least, but I guess if no one’s sharing anything interesting here, I’m better off learning from the sources… gnite

This is yeshaya 30:20 with Rashi. Chassidus discusses this at length in many maamarim
