On Chanukah, we light the Menorah and publicize the miracles that G-d did for us. We should publicize the miracles that G-d does for us in our time too. This will bring the Redemption through Moshiach! G-d wanted to make King Chizkiyahu Moshiach, but the attribute of judgment complained that he didn’t sing thanks for all the miracles that G-d did for him. From this we see how important it is to thank G-d for the miracles that He does for us – this is vital for bringing the Redemption! We should speak about these miracles at the Chanukah parties that we make on Chanukah, in addition to speaking words of Torah – both the revealed and esoteric parts of Torah – and making good resolutions to add in Torah and Mitzvos.
(See talk of the Lubavitcher Rebbe King Moshiach Shlita, Vayeishev 5752 (1991))
In the first stage of the Days of Moshiach, there will be the revelation of G-d as He surrounds all worlds. Although this is a very high level, there are still various levels of this revelation that different Jews will perceive, according to their level. In the stage of the Resurrection of the dead, there will be an even higher revelation, which all Jews will receive equally. G-d’s very Essence, which transcends all division, will be revealed.
May we celebrate the “Chanukah” – inauguration – of the third Beis Hamikdash (Holy Temple) in the Redemption through Moshiach now!
