[…] And, most of them live abroad in a land — America — that just happened to be nicknamed "Midbar" — Desert — by the rabbis of the previous centuries. Ironically, it was first called "Midbar" because it was, at the turn of the previous century, void of Torah Judaism. However, by the end of that century, it came to resemble the midbar of the Jews who left Egypt: a comfortable and self-sustaining environment in which to learn Torah that led to their rejection of Eretz Yisroel!
Is this what Rava predicted in the Talmud over 1,000 years ago about the time of Moshiach?
It was taught in a brisa: Rebi Simai said, "It says, ‘I will take you to Me as a people’ (Shemos 6:7), and it says, ‘And I will bring you to the land’ (Ibid. 8). Just as the coming to the land was with two of the 60 myriads (1 myriad equals 10,000 people), so too was the leaving of Egypt with two of the 60 myriads."
LEAVING EGYPT . . . TWO OF 60: From all the 60 myriads that were in Egypt, only two remained from them and they went out . . . and the rest died in the three days of darkness. (Rashi)
Rava said, "It will be likewise in Yemos HaMoshiach, as it says, ‘She will dwell there as in the days of her youth, and as on the day of her ascent from Egypt’." (Sanhedrin 111a)
LIKEWISE IN YEMOS HAMOSHIACH: From all the 60 myriads, only two will survive. (Rashi)
No one seems to argue the point either. On the contrary, Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein, zt"l, built upon it and warned:
"The exodus from Egypt liberated only one out of five Jews — and some say one out of every fifty — because all those who were bound to Egypt and did not want to depart died in the three days of darkness and were not privileged to leave. That is, only those who desired redemption with all their hearts were redeemed. The Final Redemption, likewise, depends upon our yearning." (Ohr Yechezkel, "Emunas HaGeulah," p. 288)
For, once we accept that the souls powering the bodies and minds of the generation at the time of Moshiach will be those of the Jews from the time of the going out of Egypt, we can also accept that history, then, will repeat itself in one way or another, though we may be unable to recognize this at the time. This is crucial for free-will and tikun.
Rabbi Moshe Yess
„Messiah Watch International“, Oregon, December 10th, 2002, published on April 4th, 2003. Yess quotes Schneerson from „Sichos In English“, Volume 47, Shabbos Parshas Bo, 4th Day of Shvat, 5751
Rabbi Schneerson now continues his discourse:
The only nations which will remain will be those which help and support the Jewish people, as it is written, "I will send refugees from them... and they shall bring their brethren from among the nations an offering to G-d... upon My holy mountain Jerusalem." At that time, "I will transform all the nations to a pure tongue, so that they will all call upon the name of G-d, to form a single block." see footnote [284]
The Zohar that is being cited states that God will bring about a transformation of all the nations and that this will occur in the time frame of a multi-national war against the descendents of Ishmael. …
Now...here is the same Zohar in much fuller citation. (thanks to my friend, Rabbi Ariel at
http://www.bostonchabad.com/)
Zohar Torah portion of Va'era page 32a
...In the future, the children of Yishmael will rule over the Holy land for a long time while the land is empty, just as their circumcision is empty and without completion. And they will hinder the children of Israel from returning to their place, until their merit in the Holy land runs out.
In the future the children of Yishmael will stir great wars in the world.
And the children of Edom [the West USA] will gather against them, and make war with them, one on the sea, and one on the land, and one by Jerusalem; and each one will prevail over the other but the Holy land will not fall to the hands of Edom.
At the same time, a nation from the end of the world will be awakened against wicked Rome.(Rome here is said to refer to the spiritual center of western civilization) and it will make war against her for three months, and many nations will gather there, and they will fall by her hand, until all the children of Edom will gather against her from all corners of the earth. And then G-d will awaken Himself against them, as it says, "a sacrificial slaughter for the Lord in Batzra", and it says, "to shake the corners of the Land". And after this, the children of Yishmael will be finished from the world. And all the supernal powers of the nations will be broken, and no power will remain above except for the power of Israel alone.
From the most prominent Lubavitcher website:
[…] In simple terms, we are at war. It is not a struggle merely for power, wealth, or some other material advantage; it is a titanic clash over the future of world civilization. The world must now choose, for all time, between the eternal holiness of the Messianic kingdom--for which Jews have tirelessly worked for thousands of years--and the utter nihilism of the darkest evil ever to threaten the planet. This war has already spread into every nation, every social institution, every human activity. It has thus become a world war in the ultimate sense. The Jewish people have the unique power of victory, to liberate the world from its current road to complete self-destruction ... The ancient nation of Amalek is condemned in the Torah as the ultimate personification of evil, a nation so full of hatred toward G-d and the Jewish people that it cannot be transformed into good, but must be utterly destroyed along with all traces of its influence. Rather than simply being ignorant of G-d, Amalek has a clear knowledge of its Creator, yet chooses to rebel against Him without any reason--not even for power, pleasure, wealth, or any other conceivable benefit. In this way, Amalek stands clearly apart from the other seventy gentile nations who, despite idolatry, immorality in general, and even anti-Semitism, nevertheless have the potential to be influenced by the Jews to become righteous gentiles who follow the Seven Noachide Laws. Amalek represents the ultimate barrier to the revelation of G-dliness within the physical world. Its descendants have, for thirty-three continuous centuries, carried on their scheming and machinations to rid the world of Jews and Jewish influence. The very presence of Torah in our realm represents an influence that refines and elevates the gentile nations and all physical elements, preparing for the day when Moshiach arrives to lead a purified world. The Amaleki conspire to send the Torah back into the heavens and reduce the world back to the darkest, most primitive state of idolatry and evil. But there is one major problem: Amalek has always been far too small and weak to defeat the Jews directly. It has suffered painful defeat in every battle it has fought openly against Israel. This forces Amalek to mobilize other gentile nations, who do not themselves bear an intrinsic hatred of the Jews, to wage war on his behalf ... More importantly, the Amaleki can only prey upon those gentiles who have not yet chosen actively to side with the Jewish people, the Torah, and the Seven Noachide Laws. But those gentiles who have consciously chosen to follow Torah halacha as it applies to them (without actually converting to Judaism) simply cannot be mobilized by Amalek. The Torah also teaches us that Amalek's methods involve pure deception and psychological warfare; only when the Jews are fooled can Amalek actually launch a physical blow ... In essence, the Torah is showing us that Moshiach cannot come until tile entire world--including the gentile nations--is ready. On the other hand, the gentiles are essentially ready now, requiring only a small Jewish effort to complete the task. The Jewish people and Amalek are waging a final struggle over the future of the gentiles; those whom the Jews fail to teach the Seven Noachide Laws will automatically fall into the hands of Amalek and its world revolution. Therein lies the key to reversing the "peace" process. The war, contrary to popular opinion, lies not in the land of Israel itself, but rather in the United States and other gentile nations. G-d is giving the Jewish people a tremendous opportunity to perform mitzvos and carry out a primary goal of Torah: To elevate and bring holiness into the gentiles, preparing them for the Messianic era when "on that day Hashem will be one and His name one"--meaning that all other religions will disappear, and the entire world will learn G-d's wisdom from the ingathered Jewish exiles in Israel, with Moshiach as the world's king. ...to bring Moshiach immediately. Judaism has always been a conquering religion, not for the purpose of converting gentiles to become Jews, but rather with the mission of returning the world to the universal covenant between G-d and Noah. For halachic reasons too numerous and detailed to list here, gentiles today who follow Christianity, Islam, or other religions are not, for the most part, "righteous gentiles" who inherit the World to Come. That status belongs only to those gentiles who carefully observe the Seven Laws of Noah, including following the halachic authority of the oral Torah and the rabbis. (For those who find the concept confusing, we hasten to point out that this is not part of a conversion to Judaism, nor even a step in the process. The Children of Noah have their own, independent role to play in assisting the Jewish people and refining the world. Those individuals who wish to convert may do so, but there is no such requirement. In the Messianic era, these righteous gentiles will worship in the Jerusalem Temple and celebrate certain Torah holidays, but will maintain a separate court system and not intermarry with Jews ... The very fact that Amalek can stir up such chaos in the world is proof that gentile society no longer presents true opposition to Jewish teachings. One now sees anti-Semitism only where Amalek is provoking trouble, which is precisely where gentiles are the most desperate for guidance. As Christianity spirals downward into strife and theological confusion, it becomes a vacuum unable to defend itself against either the lies of Amalek or the truth of Torah. Amalek can exploit the worldwide collapse of Christianity only by default--that is, only when the Jewish people do not seize the unprecedented opportunity. And as the Lubavitcher Rebbe has explained, by transforming the gentiles we can quickly create a vast army of supporters who will help us reveal Moshiach and bring all Jews back to the Torah. Specifically, the Rebbe has emphasized that the "peace process" in Israel will be defeated only through our influence on the gentiles--especially through the campaign to teach the Noachide Laws (see Sichos in English, vol. 16, [19 Kislev 5743]). Our most pressing task, to put it simply, is to launch an international Noachide revolution without delay. The process has already begun, with dozens of tiny Noachide communities having appeared throughout the United States, generally composed of former Christians who have abandoned that religion. The task of organizing the revolution can be divided into two broad stages: I) We must first create a new Noachide society as an international network of communities and organizations functioning inside, but separately from, the surrounding society (based on halachic requirements and directives, Noachide institutions function quite differently from their Christian and secular counterparts). This starts with an aggressive outreach program, by Jews and Noachides ...
2)In the second stage, the growing Noachide movement will seize political power—using only peaceful, lawful means—in the capitals of the Western nations. This, of course, will not take place until the Noachide society has grown to some threshold size. We do not know how large this needs to be nor which nations will join the revolution first, although the United States, as a fairly religious, conservative nation, certainly tops the list of prospects.
Upon seizing the reins of government, the new Noachide leaders will move quickly to implement a full agenda of reform. All economic and technological aid to the Communist Bloc, including the PLO, will be terminated immediately. Full support will be given to Israeli forces to reinvade PLO-controlled areas, with military assistance offered where necessary. Jewish courts (the batei dini of the rabbis) will be granted full legal sovereignty over Jewish citizens within each country, who will no longer be subject to the authority of gentile courts. The pre-existing Noachide judges and courts will replace the existing court system of each country, and the legal code will be drastically rewritten to conform to halacha; in the United States, the emphasis will be on restoring the authority of the Constitution and abolishing all unconstitutional government programs and agencies. The national debt will be foreclosed, probably by paying off creditors with government land holdings, thus averting economic disaster. And law and order will be fully restored through the establishment of internal security measures, again in accordance with Torah law.
Almost as soon as aid to the Communist Bloc stops, the international Communist revolution will plunge headlong into crisis. The captive peoples, seeing their liberation at hand, will genuinely rise up to throw their brutal dictators out of power, and the armies of Gog and Magog—ranging from the Soviet Communists to the PLO—will self-destruct before the eyes of the entire world.
Naturally, Amalek's agents will scream hysterically to intimidate Jews from carrying out the above campaign, hoping to delay this victory. They have no power, however, to prevent our successful action; they can only try to create doubts and hesitation.
As the world plunges headlong toward the imminent revelation of Moshiach while the last walls of the exile disintegrate, the number of confused gentiles ready to change is rising exponentially. If the Jewish people immediately begin preparing adequate structures for the Noachide movement, this tide will be channeled directly into a glorious revelation of Truth. But if we allow ourselves to be caught unprepared, this same overwhelming force for social change can, G-d forbid, be diverted to empower Amalek's final assault on holiness. It is not a matter of whether gentile society will explode in the face of the growing crisis; this event is an inevitable, and fast-approaching, reality. We do not want to miss this incredible opportunity to provide light in the final moments of darkness.
The world has reached its ultimate point of decision, and the power to succeed belongs entirely to the Jewish people. We can wait until Moshiach comes on his own, following a world war, or we can bring him through our own actions, as the Lubavitcher Rebbe has stated is our mission. The choice is ours.
There is not a minute to waste. Jews everywhere, unite!

Talking about the End of Days (pt.10):
The Centrality of Eretz Yisroel (pt.4)
ThirtySix.org, Apr 07, 2003

When?
„Messiah Watch International“, Oregon, December 10th, 2002, published on April 4th, 2003. Yess quotes Schneerson from „Sichos In English“, Volume 47, Shabbos Parshas Bo, 4th Day of Shvat, 5751

At that time, "I will transform all the nations to a pure tongue, so that they will all call upon the name of G-d, to form a single block." see footnote [284]
Footnote [284] The nullification of the gentile powers and the positive transformation of those who remain is reflected in the Zohar's statements at the conclusion of Parshas Vaeira:
"There will come a time when the descendants of Yishmael [All Arab peoples trace their lineage back to {Y}Ishmael who was one of Abraham's sons.] will stir up great battles in the world.... At that time, a nation from the ends of the world will be aroused... and will wage war with them ... and at that time. [NOTICE THESE 3 WORDS MOST CLOSELY AGAIN:-"AT THAT TIME"] ...and at that time I will transform all the nations to a pure tongue, so that they will all call upon the name of G-d, to form a single block." …
The Zohar that is being cited states that God will bring about a transformation of all the nations and that this will occur in the time frame of a multi-national war against the descendents of Ishmael. …

Footnote (not from the text given above):
Enigmatically, the messiah "will smite the head of all the descendants of Seth" (Numbers 24:17). The problem is that the entire humanity has descended from Seth through Noah, including the Jews. So there is an interpretation that the messiah will fight the entire world. That's something Zion might be eventually forced to do. This could be the last crucial consequence of Israels Samson-Option, an official military doctrin which says, that any country, that endangers israels safety - even by being neutral or too diplomatic - can be eliminated.

From: www.noahide.com/finalwar.htm[…] In simple terms, we are at war.
