Avi K:

Regarding R’ Chaim Vital, again, he is not speaking of these gimmel shevuos.

The whole premise is absurd for the following reason:

The oaths are a protection for us in galus, even according to Rabbi Aviner. So, again, as we are still in galus past that 1,000 years, expiring that protection before the end of galus is foolish for obvious safety reasons.

To try to clarify further, however:

He brings the following, in his piece:

The oath in question is a separate oath about the length of the exile.

[than 1000 years]

So, even according to Rav Chaim Vital, that 1,000 year was not a hard limit. But it’s anyways irrelevant because he’s discussing a different oath.

Regardless, it’s not our oaths. Also, even if it were, there are two oaths that Zionism violates, not “just” one. So at least one is still being violated even if you were correct.
