if Mashiach comes at a time we are not ready it will not be pleasant.
Rav Dror Moshe Cassouto told a story of the leader of the 36 hidden tzaddikem. Rav Yehuda Zev Lebowitz of saintly and blessed memory who was a Kabbalist and hidden tzaddik as well as a Holocaust survivor.
Rav Stern who’s helper of Rav Yehuda Zev Lebowitz told a story of three Gedolim that had an appointment with Rav Yehuda Zev. Each came separately, Rav Yehuda Zev Lebowitz asked Rav Stern his helper, as each arrived separately, “Who has arrived? Rav Stern would say; ”Rav So and So from So and So. Rav Yehuda Zev asked; “Did this Man lived through the Holocaust?” Rav Stern would say; “No, He was not in the Holocaust.”
The next Rav arrived Rav Yehuda Zev Lebowitz asked Rav Stern his helper, “Who has arrived?”
Rav Stern would say; “Rav So and So from So and So.”
Rav Yehuda Zev asked; “Was this man in through the Holocaust?” Rav Stern would say; “No, He was not in the Holocaust.”
The next Rav arrived Rav Yehuda Zev Lebowitz asked Rav Stern his helper, “Who has arrived? Rav Stern would say;Rav So and So from So and So. Rav Yehuda Zev asked; “Was this Man in the Holocaust?” Rav Stern would say; “No, He was not in the Holocaust.”
Rav Yehuda Zev Lebowitz turns to Hashem and asks “So Why are they coming to me to bring Mashiach if they have not lived through the Holocaust?”
The Gedolim can bring Mashiach.
Rav Mordechai Eliyahu wife asked him;”Why has Mashiach not arrived yet?” He said that Mashiach was meant to be here already, but the Gedolim are delaying Mashiach.” Because who knows if we can stand the test of Mashiach?
The world of Mashiach is the world of Truth!
