The actual date of the Messianic redemption is a guarded mystery unknown to man. It will happen “in its time,” predetermined from the beginning of creation. Every generation has a special “time” of its own, for, as stated, Moshiach is alive and present in every generation, albeit concealed. He is ready to be revealed at a moment’s notice. In the course of history prior to “its time” there are especially auspicious times when it is easier to effect his coming. To take advantage of these, to hasten the redemption, that depends completely on us.
