The Torah and prophets speak about "The End of Days" as a time of peace and harmony.
Finally, this era is just around the corner.
There are two things that can be said about this world we live in. Either, it's a hotchpotch of objects and events going nowhere in particular. Or, there's a plan. A method buried somewhere in all the madness, a goal towards which all this is headed.
For thousands of years, Judaism proceeded to convince the rest of the world that the Creator has a plan, and that life has purpose. That all this is leading somewhere-and somewhere good.
Moshiach is a leader who will redeem mankind from meaninglessness, and teach the purpose of life to the universe.
When the Lubavitcher Rebbe was asked if he had a message for the world, the Rebbe said, as he did on numerous other occasions: "Moshiach is ready to come now, we all must only do something additional in the realm of goodness and kindness… if we do a little more Moshiach will come immediately".
'Goodness' is like water collecting in a cup—drop by drop, deed by deed. When the cup is full, it overflows. When we fill this world with enough good, G-d sends Moshiach. G-d gave us the Torah as a tool to do good and G-d is waiting for our move. Let’s work together to bring Moshiach, now.
Let’s do good!
