  • May the spirits of those who attempt to calculate the final time [in Daniel for the coming of the Messiah] die!
  • 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.
  • In Nisan they were redeemed, and in Nisan they will be redeemed in the future.
  • Elijah will resolve all disputes in the end of days, including those about the calendar and the times appointed for redemption.
  • If all of Israel were to observe two consecutive Sabbaths properly, they would be redeemed immediately.
