Reply To: Moshiach coming?

I was told that the Lubavitcher Rebbe zt’l used to ask a question of those who talked about their anticipation and preparedness for biyas hamoshiach. He asked – “If Ploni needed to borrow $1,000 from you and he would pay it back after one year, and you had it to lend, would you lend him the money?” The answer was invariably yes, of course. The Rebbe then asked, “And if Ploni needed to borrow $1000 from you and told you he would pay it back when Moshiach comes, would you lend him the money?” That was his benchmark for full emunah in biyas hamoshiach and anticipation bchol yom sheyavo.
