EVERYTHING HAS A LIMIT
He set an end to darkness… (Iyov 28:3)
He said, “Go, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end… And you, go to the end, and you will rest and rise to your lot at the end of the days.”
(Daniel 12:8-13)
The keitz (end point) for Moshiach’s revelation is both a time limit and a pain threshold, where the world will no longer tolerate exile. The two are connected. We will only endure so much for so long. Once we’ve reached our limit, exile must end. The best way to reach this point is by learning Chassidus. These teachings make us more sensitive to exile so that our hearts scream, “Enough!”
When that occurs, we cross the line from exile to the beginning stages of freedom.
