you said the other day that the latest time  moshiach (mashiach) can come is in 18 years   from now in your personal opinion not as prophecy  because i know that you can't act as a prophet   but do you think the moshiach  will come sooner rather than later the exodus happened over a period of 10 months  with all of the plagues history repeats itself so   it will be ten plagues before the moshiach comes  would the plagues be worldwide long question   okay so i didn't say that the moshiach has to come  in 18 years from now the ramban said it and i just   quoted him which is a big difference if i say  something who cares what i said but if the said   something that's something different does that  mean that it has to happen within 8 years 18 years   no no it doesn't mean that he based on  his understanding and his torah and his   he has this timing this particular auspicious  time it could happen before it could happen after   as far as what i personally think  uh what i personally think is that   we need to help a lot more people do  teshuva that's all i can think about   i don't think about mashiach coming  tomorrow in fact i hope he doesn't   come anytime soon because if he came  down now or anytime in the near future then it would be a tragedy it would be a tragedy  because you'll have millions and millions of jews   get killed uh because they didn't do teshuva  so any jew that loves ami slain any gory they   love israel anyone that loves hashem would want  more people to do teshuva more than they want   mashiach to come simply because they know that  the prophecy says the moshiach is going to come   in order to save the bring salvation to those  that have actually done teshuva which means   that anyone that hasn't is not going to get  salvation so i want to help as many people as   possible come back to hashem and i need as much  time as hashem can possibly give me to do that   directly or indirectly so the point being is  that i don't think necessarily about when the   messiah can come or if he's going to come in  18 years or he's going to come in one year   i do know that he can come at any given time but  i hope that we have more time i hope that we have   much more time in order to get as many people as  possible to do teshuva because the argument that   i cried to hashem with is that look you already  waited 2 thousand years we already waited two   thousand years for the same the shamu that are  in this world today these nester are here today   it's not the first time there's virtually no  new neshamot in the world today practically   everybody is a reincarnation of a previous life  or a previous nishama that was here already you've already waited this long if this person is  here again obviously you want him to do teshuva   and if he hasn't given a dunchy life she hasn't  done too long give me a chance to help them do   shiva give me a chance and if they're already  here you already waited two thousand years at   least use me as a vessel to help them do teshuva  that's in essence my argument people that are   focused too much about mashiach have the wrong  understanding of mashiach number one they have   an understanding that mashiach is going to  save the majority of people or perhaps even   even everyone this couldn't be further from the  truth second of all they have a very uh high uh   opinion of themselves in essence being certain  that they're one of the people that will be saved   this is a mistake why because even davina medic  was scared even moshe rabbenu was scared even ramirez was killed was scared practically  everybody was scared of the official last   day of this uh world being in the status that it's  in now everyone was scared but you're not scared   in the year 2020 and 57 81 you're not scared mr  jones you're not scared mr steve you're not scared   mr abraham you're not scared you think  that you're you're a certain shoeing   for when moshiach comes you probably have less  chance of uh of uh surviving masjid comes if you   have such an opinion why because you're arrogant  so people that are so certain about coming uh you   know in their time and they're so excited about it  don't have a real understanding of what it means   next point is that generally they're very very  self-centered why because if a person loves hashem   and he has to love his people too and if he loves  his people then he will want to do everything   possible to get as many people to do shiva as  soon as possible and plead with hashem to give him   some more time will give her some more time to get  more people to do truly why because if the messiah   came right now the holocaust would look like a  kindergarten next to what the world will be like   okay people are crying for 70 plus years  because of 6 million jews that were killed   if the moshiach came today that  would look like child's play   next to what would happen so a person that loves  hashem does not want hashem to kill his own kids   hashem doesn't want to kill his own kids but he  has to if they don't do chew up so rather than   thinking about timing of the mashiach what i spend  my time thinking is how i could get people to set   themselves up to be ready for mashiach by doing  chuva that's what i think about i don't really   spend much time pinpointing a time uh i used to  be much more into the timing and things of that   nature when i was earlier on in my tuva but  then i realized what kind of damage would be   if you would come uh sooner rather than later  and uh i i started to uh change my prayers a   little bit to ask hashem for more time to at  least use me as a vessel so i'm useful in this   world in some way or another to help people do  teshuva at least i'll have something of purpose   even as a choke cheek in the world there's  a screw that hashem uses to help somebody do   they'll at least have some type of meaning  even if that means that i won't get anything   or get something none of that actual  stuff matters to me what matters to me   is that there's going to be more people that  actually survive mashiach and go to heaven   than people that go to genome because the more you  know about genome the more scared you are about it   so 18 years 18 months 18 days i don't know any  of that stuff all i know is that give me as much   time please so i can help more people do  teshuva that's to my thinking uh and then   because of the [ __ ] hashem will listen  to my prayers hopefully it's not the same so you
