B'surat HaGe'ulah — THE REBBE'S PROPHECY
At the time that the first Gulf War
looked imminent (late summer 1990) the
Rebbe, Grand Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson of Lubavitch, announced that
"The
time of our Redemption has arrived!" and that "The
Mashiach is on his way!"
The Rebbe stresses that he is saying this as a
prophecy, and he asks us all to prepare ourselves for the Redemption, especially by doing more acts of
goodness and kindness.
Let us all heed the Rebbe's call.
The announcements of the Previous Rebbe during and after World War II are below.
Instructions from the Lubavitcher Rebbe for handling this time leading up to the full
revelation of the Messiah and the Messianic Era:
-
Do not be afraid / Have no fear / Don't show any fear
-
"Everything that I [G-d] am doing is for your sake"
—Yalkut Shimoni
-
Publicize how the Messiah is coming very soon
-
Strengthen faith and desire for the arrival of the Messiah
-
Stand strong against any idea of "Land for Peace" and against any capitulation to the
enemies of Israel
-
No one has seen any benefit from the strategy of giving Arabs parts of
the land that the Israel Defense Forces took over during the Six Day
War (summer of 1967). The hostile Arab elites do not want to live
with Jews anywhere in the Middle East, and they have clearly said
so. These hate-filled Arabs have taken over the education of their
young and promoted suicide terror. The elites have also given
funding to Islamo-Fascists. They have given the terrorists free
reign for pursuing the strategy of indiscriminate suicide terror
against Israeli residents alongside the strategy of a war of attrition
against Israel. (And let's not forget that a number of the
murdered have been Arabs, both Muslim and Christian, or have been
non-Jewish guest workers.)
-
Increase the quality and quantity of our Torah study as well as our observing the Mitzvot
-
Bring Torah knowledge and study to people who are less knowledgeable than
ourselves; Teach them secrets of the Torah — Chasidism with its explanations of
the Kabbalah — as well as the facets of the Torah that inspire Jewish pride and Torah observance
