  • The seventh millennium will be a time of peace and renewal, as it is written: ‘And on the seventh day, God rested and was refreshed’ (Exodus 31:17). So, too, the world will rest in the seventh millennium.
  • The world was created with the letters of the Torah. Its times and seasons are fixed, and the end of days is engraved upon the tablets of heaven. Yet, repentance can overturn even decrees written in the stars.
  • The Messiah will come in a generation that either fully keeps the covenant or completely breaks it. In either case, God will act for the sake of His name.
