Abba_S: Is that why men are chiyuv to have children and pru ur’vu is a monumental mitzvah?
Pru ur’vu is the first Mitzvah in the Torah given to Noah after the flood and is there to populate the earth. This is a commandment that is on both Jew and Gentile and has nothing to do with the Mashiach.
As far as Mashiach is concerned, would Hashem bring him early and deprive some souls from being born? I don’t know. It is also possible that he hasn’t been born yet and you or one of the other female posters maybe his mother.
Ahron – “explain to them how enjoyable it is to have children”
Hashem made them cute and lovable otherwise they wouldn’t survive, people would throw them out like garbage as they are to much trouble especially as they get older.
“So the answer is no, saying that they are delaying the Moshiach’s arrival is just a way to add pressure but it really just comes down to, Because Hashem said so?”
The thread was, how to convince someone to marry early not why you should have kids.
