What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
answer a question which i had said that uh the meshiach is struggling to come so the question is why so the idea to that really is this there were many sadhikam before they died they said that you know why isn't the mashiach here and what they're going to do is when they pass on and they stand in front of the besden the court then they're going to say to the then they're going to say to the meshiach they're going to ask for an audience with the meshiach and they're going to ask him what's the problem why are you not coming everything else looks so bleak you know the time of mashiach really looks like it's here so he's going to say well there's no problem if you want me to come i can come however if i come now then there's a certain amount of the jewish people that will not merit to see the future that will not merit to see the future world because they don't deserve it and there's not enough time so either i can come now in which many people will get the you know be uh merit to see the future world or i can come after everybody will have merited the future world so of course they all say we'll wait this is the problem only the reversal knows when everybody will get the future world order will get the future world order this is the problem so doesn't come because he wants everybody to get oil you see he doesn't want even if there's let's say even 80 percent no he wants all hundred percent to get oil that is why even though tadhikum have said that they're going to beg the banishment to bring mashiach no he won't do that because then there are jewish people that will be missing
