Are We Closer to Moshiach

We constantly say that Moshiach is on his way. Yet, there are times when it looks as if we have fallen farther from Moshiach. World events, local events, they are all shocking and disconcerting. And this really bothers us. How can we really say that the world is becoming a more refined place, if these incidents are allowed to take place?

It is actually a part of the process of Moshiach’s arrival! By clearly defining evil, we are able to separate the world into those that are good and those that are wicked and need to change. It is part of the clarity that will happen with the coming of Moshiach, and the start of the times of the End of Days.
