“The only fault I find in your most recent post is that “moshiach has to come”. It’s true of course that he has to come because Hashem has promised as much, but he doesn’t “have” to come because people have decided that he does, which I believe is what you and other lubavitchers believe.”
Hashem wants us to cry out for the Geula. It’s not a great thing were in golus – not at all!! We’re exiled from Hashem’s Presence, the world doesn’t recognise Hashem to the extent it could, and when moshiach comes the world will function at its very best as everything will be used to serve Hashem. We just want the Geula already. Chazal established that we should ask for the Geula many times in every tefilla, not only once a day. Not only should we ask for whenever Hashem wants but we should ask Hashem to speed it up – meheira satzmiach….
The Rebbeim were just telling us where the world is holding as far as being ready for the Geula goes… But the Frierdiker Rebbe, he said if we immediately do teshuva then Geula will come immediately… And that we have the buttons to polish (like the last task in the army when getting ready for the generals inspection) ie a little bit of avoda was left on the world scale.
By the 90s, the Rebbe told us the world is all ready for the Geula, everything that was needed has been accomplished, and the only thing he could think of why were still in golus is because it has to come from us! The normal regular people have to want moshiach and get the Shechina out of golus. So it’s up to us. Not the tzaddikim.they did their part.
