Let's notice a few more examples of some of the prophecies about Moshiachs' times which once sounded impossible, yet we experience today!
– “Moshiach will teach Torah to the entire nation, from the wisest to the simplest.” Years ago this was inconceivable. How can one person, as great as he may be, teach Torah to millions of people?
Today, with smart phones in each person's hand, Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Periscope etc., it's easy for one person to communicate with the entire world at once!
– In the Messianic Era “there will be no war or strife because all delicacies will be commonplace like dust.” In times bygone, a civilization didn’t exist which didn’t have thousands of dirt-poor citizens who suffered constant malnutrition, and people dying of hunger wasn’t a rare occurrence. Today, in most developed countries, it has been demonstrated that no person must die of hunger. The average underprivileged person in today’s society is better off than the affluent person of the 1800s! The system isn’t perfect – if it were we wouldn’t need Moshiach! – but we can already envision a day when indeed every person is cared for. The resources certainly exist, and we have the means of transporting them throughout the world, wherever they may be needed.
– “The [Jews] will fly [to Israel] on the heavenly clouds.” Another prophecy which certainly was considered mythical before the Wright Brothers nudged our world a little closer to Moshiach’s times!
A person who lived 150 years ago, if brought back to life today and witnessing the marvels which modern science has uncovered within G-d’s creation, would be certain that Moshiach has already arrived. Now it is time for us to wake up to this reality, and prepare ourselves for the special moment. Indeed, we will be the ones who will experience the fulfillment of the dream of the ages!
