Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

For Np, neville, Sam and others I thought you may find the following Rashi quite interesting as you have been asking on the topic…

Rashi on 2nd to last posuk of Daniel:

“יבאַשְׁרֵ֥י הַֽמְחַכֶּ֖ה וְיַגִּ֑יעַ לְיָמִ֕ים אֶ֕לֶף שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת שְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים וַֽחֲמִשָּֽׁה:
Fortunate is he who waits etc.: Forty five years are added to the above number, for our Moshiach is destined to be hidden after he is revealed and to be revealed again…”

Just because it seems no one here has heard of the concept in classic Jewish sources. Also check out the remainder of the mefarshim on the page who explain how Daniel couldn’t figure out how the end of days calculation etc would work out, but as it comes, the regular yidden will figure it out.
