Rav Tzvi Hirsch of Alik zy’a (a student of the Magid of Zlotchov zy’a) related that a group of many souls that had been reincarnated numerous times but had yet to reach their tikkun once came to Hashem and asked, ‘What will be with us? We have been sent to the world in all different forms but have yet to find our rectification. When will it ever end?’
Hashem told them, ‘The generation of the Ikvesah D’Meshicha will soon arrive. At that time, all the neshamos that have been sent to the world many times but have not found their tikkun will be sent back to the world. There will be many challenges in that generation, especially in matters of emunah, and blasphemy will be widespread. Anyone who retains their emunah in such a generation, will be proven to be truly deserving of rectification and all of his soul’s blemishes will be wiped away.’
Rav Tzvi Hirsch concluded by saying that this generation has already begun.
