Moshiach Now: Preparation for Moshiach

The Baal Shem Tov writes in a letter that on Rosh HaShanah of the year 5507 (1746) his soul ascended to the heavenly realms, where he was granted the privilege of entering the palace of Moshiach. He asked Moshiach, "Master, when are you coming?"

And he replied: "When your wellsprings will be disseminated outward."

We see from this that the wellsprings of Chassidus are a preparation for the coming of Moshiach.
