When people speak about redemption in times like these, a person may ask himself, "Throughout history, whenever there were wars, people probably said the same thing. There's a war. Redemption must be near." So, what is different about this night from all other knights? What is special about this war or about our era compared to previous generations? The answer is that redemption is not determined by wars alone. Even when we speak about Iran and the United States, and we do have a prophecy that Iran will fall, our sages did not call it Iran. Iran is a modern name less than 80 years old. Its true historical name is Persia. Our sages state that Persia will fall into the hands of Edom. And Edom refers to a Christian power. And only afterward will Mashiach come. Still, in any generation, even if such a thing were to occur, if Persia were to fall into the hands of a Christian nation, we would not be able to state definitively that this proves redemption is imminent unless it joins an entire system of signs. For example, 2,000 years ago, had there been a war between Persia and a Christian power and we were to examine the prophetic framework found in Tanakh, we would have seen that the time had not yet arrived. Why? Because in the book of Daniel chapter 7, there is a complete system of prophecies that spans from the destruction of the first temple until the coming of Messiah. And within that system, there are intermediate stages, milestones that had not yet taken place. But in our time, in our generation, when we examine all of those stages, we see that they are already behind us. And this connects
