Now at the opening and commencement of the "International Convention of Shluchim."
We must come out with a resolution and an announcement to all shluchim that the work of shlichus now and for every Jew is to their capacity to lead to the greeting of our righteous Moshiach.
This means that all the details of the work of shlichus in spreading the Torah and Judaism and spreading the Wellsprings of the inner teachings of Torah outward must be permeated with greeting our righteous Moshiach.
As emphasized in the program of the convention - "all the days of your life to bring the days of Moshiach."
All aspects of Divine service (every day of your life, and in every day itself - in every detail and hour of the day) must be permeated with "to bring the days of Moshiach." It's not sufficient "to increase" (as stated in many places), or that he (the shliach) should stand and wait until Moshiach will come, at which point he will take part and have the satisfaction. Rather he is "to bring." He does all that depends on him to bring "the days of Moshiach." [The word "days" is] in the plural, [meaning] not only the beginning of one day but the days of Moshiach (and not only when Moshiach is "presumed to be Moshiach," but all the days of Moshiach - also the completion of "absolutely Moshiach" etc.)
From the international convention must come and be brought good resolutions such that every shliach must prepare himself and prepare all Jews in his place and city, etc. to greet our righteous Moshiach. This should be done through his explanation of the concept of Moshiach, as explained in the Written Torah and the Oral Torah, in a way that it will be received by everyone according to his intellect and understanding. This includes in particular learning the subject of Moshiach and Redemption, and specifically in a manner of Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge.
And since this is the Divine service of the time, it's understood this applies to every Jew without any exception whatsoever.
...Further and fundamental: since the work of shlichus has already ended, every Shliach needs to approach the true M'Shalayach - G-d - and declare: I have done my shlichus and now the time has come that You, as it were, should do Your shlichus (for G-d is also a shliach (He tells His word to Yaakov, etc.) and together with the ten Sefiros (G-d, Himself, it is essence and being, as it were, is our righteous Moshiach), is the essence and being as it were of our righteous Moshiach). "Send now the one You will send" - send us our righteous Moshiach in actual reality.
