The Arizal in the book Vesdik Yesod Olam on the Book of Ruth
On the verse
And if He does not wish to redeem you and your redemption, as I live, the Lord, lie down until the morning
I swear by the name of the Lord that there is a date for redemption, and as the Lord lives, it will not be late
And the date is a foundation of glory (the Lord in the Iyar as it appears in every siddur in the counting of the Omer, counting for each day)
And this is also in the situation of and I will redeem you, I will perform redemption for my sake, because there are no rights (most of them are secular)
And it is the secret of redemption
‘Lie down until the morning’ (5778 in the Gim’ when the Lord goes to the thousands)
After all, we already know that about 500 years ago in the name of the Arizal or at least from his student R’ Chaim Vital about 450 years ago
An oath in the name of God that the date of the redemption will not be later than the 1st of Iyar, 5721;8 (and even, or a prediction that) most of them are secular.
Now to say that this is a
complete redemption does not seem
likely the beginning of the redemption.
Now the question is whether after it has begun it must continue or can, God forbid, go back
In my humble opinion, the broad
opinion is
In my humble opinion, this is reversible and depends a lot on our actions.
If we work to advance the redemption by multiplying good and light, it has a chance to continue until the complete redemption of the Temple, prophecy, etc.
But if God does something stupid and accuses us of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust for the leadership of the people, and we listen to the voice of rabbis who do stupid things and are crazy and insane,
This can deteriorate into further destruction.
And may God help us to repent completely from the corruption and gratuitous hatred that has spread us to the humiliation of the Jewish people, and may we soon return to being a light to the nations.
Amen.
