Moshiach & Redemption
The arduous journey of life leads toward a light brightened by our travel. This destination keeps us going.
Today, physical matter is empirical and divine sublimity is innovated. We strive for a time when divine sublimity will be empirical and physical matter will be innovated. Today, the world is covered in bacteria, particles, and molecules. We work towards the day when the world will be covered with Divine knowledge as the waters over the sea. As wine is to grape, tomorrow’s Redemption is to today’s exile. At night a world slumbers, intact, breathing, dreaming, alive, but unaware and unconscious. When the sun rises the world awakes and the world smiles, suddenly aware that all its dreams had become conscious reality.
