BESURAS HAGEULO
Moshiach for Israel," and that "one who is worthy because of his righteousness to be the Redeemer, and when the time arrives, G-d will reveal it to him and will send him, etc."
And if it were not for the undesirable things that got mixed in, which delayed and obstructed, he would have been revealed and come in actual reality. And according to the pronouncement of my sainted father-in-law, the leader of our generation, the Moshiach of our generation, all matters of Divine service have already been concluded and completed, and we stand ready to greet our righteous Moshiach. We are therefore at a time when all obstacles and hindrances have been nullified. Since this is so, there is now not just the existence of Moshiach, but also the revelation of Moshiach. Now we need only greet our righteous Moshiach in actual reality!
...With this in mind, every activity must be penetrated with the subject of Moshiach and Redemption, including one's eating and drinking. For the longing for the meal of Livyason, Shor HaBor and Yayin Meshumar is so great that even after the meal one remains hungry for it. Consequently, he will complain to G-d that he cannot fulfill the commandment of "And you shall eat and you shall be satisfied and you shall bless" in earnest until G-d seats us at His table for the feast of the world to come.
