...But We Must Reveal Him (Mashiach Redemption Secret Everyone Misses) R’ Botton & Wagshall Q&A

Is it our job and should it be our personal focus to try and bring Msiah? >> The truth is there's a Msiah alive right now, a potential [music] Messiah. Every generation has its potential Messiah, which means there's one person alive right now that God could and maybe will choose to be Messiah. He doesn't even know if he's the Messiah. He could he could realize that he's a scholar. He could realize that he's a a good man. Mashiach will only know his Messiah when God decides for him to reveal himself. And he will let that person that's alive right now know you're the Messiah and I want you to reveal yourself. In every generation there was and in this generation there is a potential Messiah. Someone alive right now that could be that Msiah that we've been waiting for. So they have to hold on to the reality of of a Messiah right now. There is a potential Msiah in every moment we live. That's why the sages command from us that we have to believe and anticipate every day and ultimately every moment that Messiah is coming. [clears throat] We can't make it a tomorrow goal cuz when you set a goal for tomorrow, it never happens. And so our Messiah goal must be a now Messiah goal. It must be a today Messiah goal. on labrevi were at the forefront of this whole so to speak radical but but really simple way of seeing things that we have to make it our business that we do what we can to to bring mashiach ready it's enough how can a people wait 2,000 years of gulas can you imagine telling your kid I have an amazing present for you but wait a day wait two days wait a week wait a month wait a year wait 2,000 years for this unbelievable present of course we're we're going crazy. Of course, the the world is falling apart. Of course, Jews have gone astray. Honey, what do you expect after 2,000 years? We have to beg and plead and almost demand as the shows that it's my opinion that that Hashem should have mercy on us and just bring Mashiach cuz righteous is coming. >> I believe that we all know that Msiah is a process. It is something that is a continuum that is happening always the coming of Msiah. And this is why we say every single day we believe that Msiah can come because it's always in the process of happening. Everything we are doing in our lives, every experience that we have globally as our nation and individually is bringing us closer to the redemption. But the Basha says something very important. He says the verse says I pray to Hashem that he should bring my soul to redemption. And he explains that every single person's life, every single person's experience in this world individually is bringing him closer to his personal Msiah, his personal redemption out of his constrictions, his own personality, out of his constrictions, his addictions, his struggles and bringing him closer to the great light light of Hashem. And our job and our focus in this world is actually to bring our own inner Msiah to bring our nishama to the best place it could be. And the closer we get to Hashem, the closer we are to our personal Msiah. And he says that when the entire world comes to the individual Messiah, the Messiah and the redemption of the individual, each and every one of us, that is when the great Messiah is going to come globally. So on the one hand we should be very focused on bringing Msiah but it should be in the way of dealing with our own redemption. >> We find that the purpose of creation from its inception is really only going to reveal itself at the very end. And so whatever comes at the end really was what was first not only in thought but what came up in God's ultimate infinite desire to have. And so since Msiah is something that we're waiting so long for almost 6,000 years are up, you know, there's a deadline we got to get finished over here. And so since Messiah is really a culmination of the 6,000 years which correspond each day a thousand years corresponds to a day, the six days of work. When it says that we have to work for six days, what it really means is for 6,000 years we have to work. And that's the the day of Shabbat and and the time of Messiah. And so since it's our goal is to reach Msiah, then yes, absolutely everything we do is connected with that. And so our goal and our focus of of life as Jews has always been from from day one. As soon as Adam ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, his new divine mission was how do I fix the brokenness I just created? How do I get back to where I was? Which ultimately will bring us all higher? Because to go back to where we were is like going around in a circle. Doesn't get you anywhere. But if we spiral up a bit, we reach a higher place. Through the fall, we climb higher. Through the darkness shines the greatest light. And the light of Mashiach is the absolute greatest light that God created. There's only one person that's going to top Mosher Renu and that is Mashiach. >> True. And so we are certainly hoping and praying and working toward a goal of the revelation of the actual Messiah which will bring the entire world to a new level of unity w within each other within within ourselves and and of course between God and his world. We're living in a time right now that has a different essential energy that wasn't accessible many many years ago. And we should know the closer we get to the time of the actual revelation of Msiah, things do change, the the Talmud already says, which is 2,000 years ago roughly, that everything has already been fixed and prepared for Messiah. And so what the Ballaya Talmud understood was that Messiah could not come in earlier times. Why didn't the great kings of Israel, the ones that were great, bring Messiah? Why? Why didn't Messiah come in Moses? Why wasn't Moses the Messiah? Why wasn't the great leaders of the past the Messiah? The answer was it was too early. Yakov could have been Mashiach. Actually, that's what Yakov wanted. When it says that Yakov requested tranquility and rest, doesn't mean he wanted to go to the beach with an ice a nice iced tea and a lounge chair. It means he wanted a Messiah. And the answer that God sent out was was no. Not because he wasn't deserving of it, but because the world wasn't ready. He was he was ready but the world wasn't ready. That today the world is ready for Messiah. The spiritual fixing has been fixed. So what's stopping Messiah is a riddle and a mystery because we don't really know exactly what God is waiting for to bring Messiah. What we do know is whether we are righteous or wicked. Messiah will come. So it's not because we're wicked and it's not if we'll be righteous either. Messiah comes regardless because Messiah is the purpose of everything and therefore that we're not strong enough to stop Messiah. Even if we become the biggest wicked people in the world, it'll become an entire nation that rebelss against God, Msiah still comes. This is clear from the sages. So what's stopping Messiah from coming is a mystery. But what we can do about solving this mystery is having absolute faith that Msiah is coming. because we're not doing this for nothing and we have to give it our all in in a personal sense. We have to do what we're supposed to do [music] and just hold on to the amuna of Msiah coming.
