The heavens and the earth were created with specific cycles and times, and the Torah is their blueprint. The redemption is written within these cycles.

  • May the spirits of those who attempt to calculate the final time [in Daniel for the coming of the Messiah] die!
  • The sentence of the generation of the Flood lasted twelve months, the sentence of the Egyptians lasted twelve months, the sentence of Job lasted twelve months, the sentence of Gog of Magog lasts twelve months, the sentence of the wicked in Gehenna lasts twelve months. Nebuchadnezzar was three and a half years. Sennacherib was over three and a half years. Vespasian was three and a half years.
  • The school of Eliyahu (Elijah) taught: Six thousand years is the duration of the world. Two thousand of the six thousand years are characterized by chaos; two thousand years are characterized by Torah, from the era of the Patriarchs until the end of the mishnaic period; and two thousand years are the period of the coming of the Messiah. Six thousand years is the duration of the world, and it is in ruins for one thousand years. The duration of the period during which the world is in ruins is derived from a verse, as it is stated: “And the Lord alone shall be exalted on that day” (Isaiah 2:11). That is the course that history was to take, but due to our many sins, the Messiah did not come after four thousand years passed, and furthermore, the years that elapsed since then, which were to have been the messianic era, have elapsed.
  • Truth will spring from the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven. In the days of the Messiah, the times of God will become clear, and the righteous will walk in His light.
  • Elijah will resolve all disputes in the end of days, including those about the calendar and the times appointed for redemption.
  • If Israel merits it, the Messiah will come early. If not, he will come at the last possible moment, as ordained by God’s calendar
