The Meshech Chochma (Vayikra 26:44) says:
“If the Jew thinks that Berlin is Jerusalem … then a raging storm wind will uproot him by his trunk and subject him before a faraway gentile nation… a tempest will arise and spread its roaring waves, and swallow, and destroy, and flood forth without pity. Therefore, you will not be calm, nor shall there be a resting place for the sole of your foot is a blessing, for as long as the Jewish People are uncomfortable in exile, they will yearn to return to their homeland.”
The same goes for Brooklyn, Monsey and Lakewood. Galut and geula are not black and white. The geula comes slowly in stages (Yerushalmi, Berachot 1:1). The Zohar says that each 1,000 years of Creation are parallel to one day of the week. That means that we are now in Mincha Gedola of erev Shabbat.
