SQUARE_ROOT – This means that the State of Israel…
NO IT DOES NOT! According to your logic, all of the bad things mentioned at the end of Maseches Sotah that will happen BEFORE Moshiach comes are, in your opinion, PART OF the Geulah. They aren’t. They are the LAST PART OF THE GOLUS. One could definitely say that the State of Israel is חוצפא יסגא והיוקר יאמיר והמלכות תהפך למינות with all the הידורים according to all the shittos… October 7 could very well be a fulfillment of ואנשי הגבול יסובבו מעיר לעיר ולא יחוננו, is that also אתחלתא דגאולה? Is there a מצוה to try to do all the things listed there in the Gemara to somehow hasten the Geulah? Of course not. These things are a statement of fact that such and such will occur before the real Geulah does. No נפקא מינה whatsoever להלכה. No hetter to fudge any real Torah and Mitzvos obligations to bring any of this about.
