Waiting for the Messiah.
Hello Rabbi.
There is the well-known mishna in the Sutta (9:15).
Which says: “In the footsteps of the Messiah, the arrogant will retreat, and the proud will speak.”
The vine will yield its fruit, and the wine will be precious.
And the kingdom will turn into a kingdom, and there will be no end.
The house of the covenant will become a harlot, and Galilee will be destroyed, and the border will be destroyed,
And the men of the border will go from city to city and will not spare us,
And the wisdom of the scribes will be ashamed, and the fear of sin will be disgraced,
And the truth will be absent.
Young men will be humble before old men, old men will stand up before young men.
A son who disobeys his father, a daughter who rebels against her mother, a daughter who is angry with her mother-in-law, a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
In the face of the generation, as in the face of a dog, the son is not ashamed of his father;
“And to whom shall we pray? To our Father which is in heaven.”
Now, I know that the rabbi doesn’t like to address these things.
But I would still be happy to ask, because many of the things here were not true until a few decades ago, and suddenly in a relatively short time – we see everything (or at least most of it) coming true before our eyes, like a prophecy.
Can we conclude from this about our time?
Because what is the probability that everything that was written then will happen now within a very short period of time?
