Based on the Dvar Malchus of the Shabbos Parshas Ki Tetze, 5751
In next week's parsha, parshas Ki Savo, the Torah tells us "אל תבוא כי הארץ".... The Jewish nation will live in Israel when each person is peacefully underneath his grapevines and fig tree while at the same time will be learning Torah and worshipping Hashem.
The Rebbe Melech Hamoshiach adds and reminds us that the Torah is eternal. When we read in the Torah "הארץ אל תבוא כי"... we know that it refers to us, the generation that will enter Israel when the complete geulah will take place.
To meet up with the geulah during the war
Parshas Ki Savo explains this week's parsha of Ki Tetze. After reading Shabbos morning about our going out into the galus and our avodas Hashem, we will hear by mincha time the next parsha, Ki Savo, that describes what the war should be like. Even during the last moments of the galus when it's our job to finish up the war and avodas Hashem as we approach the geulah, we should be happy with gladness of heart as is appropriate for the yimos hamoshiach. We can already start receiving our amazing reward for this time.
What do the first words in the parsha "למלחמה תצא כי" have to do with the geulah? The general rule for us to follow is to "live with the times" – live with this week's parsha. The Rebbe Melech Hamoshiach on a regular basis connects the good news about the geulah with this week's parsha.
Our parsha talks about when "You go out to war against your enemy", a time to go out and a time of war. According to Chassidus this refers to the nishama leaving the kisei hakavod and comes down into this world that's full of enemies and things that bother it. This is especially so during the golus, and the situation is getting worse. Under such circumstances the nishama has to put up a fight in order to remain loyal during its shlichus and to carry it out all the way to the end. This is a time when the nishama has to really struggle and to reveal from within itself powers in order to succeed on its mission.
We only remember ourselves from the time we were born in this world and therefore we are used to its limitations. We know that we can't do everything. There are things we have to do that require a lot of effort, even to the point of fighting if necessary in order to do our jobs. That's the way it is in this world.
In the "Dvar Malchus" we learn and are reminded about what the Chazal said, "Who did Hashem consult (when he created the world)? He consulted the souls of the tzadikim." We were once pure souls underneath the kisei hakavod. When Hashem wanted to create the world, He consulted (so to speak) and conferred with our souls. We decided that it was a good idea and necessary that there should be a world. On that occasion, our souls volunteered to go down into it with all of its difficulties. There, below in this world, we would worship Hashem.
On that same occasion, it was clear to everyone that the purpose in doing so was to make Hashem a dwelling place, a nice place where He can stay. By doing so, all of the limitations would just disappear and the entire world would see and recognize that Hashem is One, and He will help us carry out our mission.
In order for our souls to succeed in their job
Hashem gave them special powers and abilities to make sure that in every place and situation the souls find themselves, they will have a direct connection with Hashem, a connection that will remind them of their true and real condition, which is higher than this world and its limitations. The souls can do everything.
Tachlis
Today, we are getting closer to that time and we are finishing up our avodas Hashem. The time period will come when we will receive our reward and sit peacefully with all of the plenty that will be then. Our avodas Hashem has to be appropriate for the yimos hamashiach.
First of all, we have to be occupied with things that have to do with Moshiach, especially to learn more and more about geulah and Moshiach. Most important, the Rebbe Melech Hamoshiach Shlita expects us to feel mamash the yimos hamashiach. We should remember and know that we aren't limited. We should know that nothing in the world can oppose us when trying to do something. We were the ones that decided the world should be created. If there are things in it that are negative elements or bother us, we know that they are there only to strengthen us, in order for us to overcome them, for nothing can stop us.
Another important thing for us to know, a time when we are so close to Moshiach's arrival, is that Hashem already gives us the reward and gives each and every one of us plenty of gashmiyus in order that we will be able to serve Hashem without disturbances.
Publicize everywhere
The Rebbe Melech Hamoshiach Shlita gives us another horaa: Publicize everywhere that we are finishing up our deeds and avodas Hashem and are at the beginning of a new time period when we will receive our reward, "Matan Sicharan shel Tzadikim". As a result, our avodas Hashem has to include things about the yimos hamashiach, starting with Torah teachings that have to do with Moshiach, Geulah, and the Beis Hamikdash. In addition and most important is that it should be done with a peaceful and settled state of mind, happiness, and gladness of heart.
The Rebbe finishes with a bracha: "It should be Hashem's will that from speaking about it and making good decisions in all of the above, we should merit immediately and right away that Hashem will give each and every Jew everything that he needs with His full, open, holy, and expansive hand. Even more so should Hashem give us the most important thing, the true and complete redemption by Moshiach Tzidkeinu."
