Our generation is the generation of the days of the Messiah. This is why we have been granted the redemption of our holy land from the hands of the foreigners. We have also been rewarded with the revelation of\u00a0The Book of Zohar, which is the beginning of the realization of the verse, \u201cAnd they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, \u2018Know the Lord,\u2019 for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them\u201d (Jeremiah 31).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, with those two, we have only been rewarded with giving from the Creator, but we have not received anything into our own hands. Instead, we have been given a chance to begin with the work of God, to engage in Torah and Mitzvot Lishma. Then we will be granted the great success that is promised to the generation of the Messiah, which all the generations before us did not know. And then we will be rewarded with the time of reception of both the complete attainment and the complete redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baal HaSulam, \u201cA Speech for the Completion of The Zohar\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though the Creator has delivered the land from the hands of the nations and has given it to us, we have not yet received it. We are not enjoying it. But with this giving, the Creator has given us an opportunity for redemption, to be purified and sanctified and assume the work of God in Torah and\u00a0Mitzvot Lishma. At that time, the Temple will be built and we will receive the land into our own authority. And then we will experience and feel the joy of redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baal HaSulam, \u201cA Speech for the Completion of The Zohar\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judaism must present something new to the nations. That is what they expect from the return of Israel to the land! It is not in other teachings, for in that we never innovated; we were always their disciples. Rather, it is the wisdom of religion, justice and peace. In this, most nations are our disciples, and this wisdom is attributed to us alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baal HaSulam, \u201cThe Solution\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If they (Israel) accept the religion (bestowal upon others in the form of \u201cLove thy friend as thyself\u201d), the Temple can be built and the ancient glory restored. This would certainly prove to the nations, the rightness of Israel\u2019s return to their land, even to the Arabs. However, a secular return, such as today’s, does not impress the nations whatsoever, and we must fear lest they will sell Israel\u2019s independence for their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baal HaSulam, \u201cThe Solution\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you will understand what is written\u00a0The Zohar: \u201cWith this composition, the Children of Israel will be redeemed from exile.\u201d Also, in many other places, only through the expansion of the wisdom of Kabbalah in the masses will we obtain complete redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also said, \u201cThe Light in it reforms him.\u201d They were intentionally meticulous about it, to show us that only the Light enclosed within it, \u201clike apples of gold in settings of silver,\u201d in it lies the cure that reforms a person. Both the individual and the nation will not complete the aim for which they were created, except by attaining the internality of the Torah and its secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baal HaSulam, \u201cIntroduction to the Book,
Panim Meirot uMasbirot,\u201d Item 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The redemption of Israel and the rise of Israel depend on the study of\u00a0The Zohar\u00a0and the internality of the Torah. And vise versa, all the destruction and the decline of the Children of Israel are because they have abandoned the internality of the Torah. They have degraded its merit and made it seemingly redundant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
