Our generation is the ninth from the Ba’al Shem Tov. This generation has something new compared to all the generations before, including even the eighth one. Since the Redemption didn’t come then in an actual way, the wild revelation of all the lights (the spiritual source of Pharaoh) was not in the ultimate perfection, as a soul in a body – the soul passed away from the body, and even the soul in the body was in a state of “the speech is in exile” etc. (The father-in-law of the present Lubavitcher Rebbe King Moshiach Shlita, the Rebbe Rayatz the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe passed away, and before that he had difficulty speaking.) However, in our generation, the last generation of exile and the first generation of the Redemption, we receive the great wild revelation of all the lights while being souls within bodies.
(The Rebbe King Moshiach Shlita does not pass away!)
