Reply To: When Moshiach Comes

Rav Yechezkel Abramsky ZT”L, is quoted to have said in the name of the Vilna Gaon that Milchemes Gog U’Magog will last 12 minutes.

That being said, we don’t know what kind of suffering it will lead to, but now is our chance to do the right hishtadlus to make sure we (personally) are zoche to be on the geulah side.

According to the gedolim of our time, we are going through tremendous suffering–the birthpangs of Moshiach, and like in Mitzrayim by Makas Choshech (when 4/5 of yidden died because of their lack of emunah), we are losing thousands of yidden spiritually, to assimilation.

I try to focus on what will be afterwards, so it will motivate me to daven for Moshiach. I heard recently from a prominent speaker, that we should daven for Moshiach for Hashem’s sake–we can’t even fathom the pain Hashem is in.
