Response to your lectures on messianism

Hello,
I recently discovered your philosophy, and it makes me very happy. As a new immigrant, I thought that only abroad did rationalist (even extreme) thinking exist with orthodox (or more precisely, orthopraxic) observance of the commandments. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it did not.
For our purposes, I saw your series on messianism and I must say that there is a central thing that you never get into, and that is what is the precise definition of messianism and redemption? In my opinion, this flaw in the entire series makes all the discussions there peripheral and fail to properly decipher the problematic.
So I ask this here: What is the definition of redemption in your opinion? Are Messiah and redemption synonymous? And according to these definitions, is it possible to diagnose our reality and give it a halachic definition?
 
Thanks in advance.

Hello. I didn’t understand the question. When we talk about redemption, we mean the return of the people to the land, a king, and a temple. What will actually happen? I have no idea. If you listened to the lessons, you could understand that I don’t give metaphysical diagnoses of reality. You can also see in my column on messianism. One of the last ones. I have to say that if this seems like a flaw in the series to you, then you didn’t understand it at all.
