unfortunately, Chassidish, although I would like Romney to win, I think everything you said but the first part is right – Obama will win, Israel will bomb Iran, the whole world will turn against us, it will be a scary time for klal yisroel, and be”H then Mashiach will come – not sure at what price c”v
Rav Elyashiv zt”l said the biggest sakana today is the situation in Iran and people do not take it seriously enough
If we can be chozer b’teshuva and storm the heavens with tefilla maybe we can fix the gezeira and (as the chofetz chaim said in the dream) daven that the geula should come from chesed (ie in a good way for klal yisroel) and not l’fi all the scary nevuos etc if we’re c”v not zocheh.
Everyone on their own level should try to make a bakasha/tefilla to save us and bring us close and do something SMALL to show Hash-m that we just want to be closer to him and do the right thing even though we were put in a generation where we are in the mem-tes (nun?) shaarei tumah. But to show Hash-m that we don’t want to be. We all know what our weak points are – and jumping too high won’t work, we’ll just crash. By doing something small we can show Him we want Him to bring us close and be”H in that zechus hopefully we’ll be zocheh to have any horrible gezeiros against us ripped up and will be”H have b’derech hachesed the geula sheleimah b’meheirah!
