There's a lot of interesting things that have been happening lately. And I'd like to talk about them. But especially in the context of this question. Why is it when you look at the redemption why does it seem to go so slow? You know, it looks like it goes forward and then backwards, forwards and then backwards. It seems to creep along very, very slowly. So, I thought that was important to understand which I really want to explain. And and some of the what's called the biblical or historical antecedents of this in terms of what is happening. Especially in terms of a messianic process. That's really what the shear is all about. The redemption always happens very slow. always happens very slow. So, the first thing you have to understand is because it depends what's the principle behind the redemption. If the redemption would happen miraculously then it would happen much quicker. But if it's going to happen what's called naturally, which is what's happening then it goes much slower. So, that's a fundamental difference between the two methodologies. between the two methodologies. And what we're experiencing is that the redemption itself which is basically in progress is happening, but it happens very slowly. The The question is what's the logic of that? Of why? Whether the the happens naturally depends on how the Jews bring about the rectification of the briah, of the rectification of the briah, of the creation. If the Jews bring about the rectification of the briah, the universe, creation, then the redemption happens what's called through happens through miracle. If the If If the redemption comes about as a result of mitzvahs, meaning that the Jews did a tremendous amount of mitzvahs, then the redemption itself will happen basically miraculously. And as a result of that, of course, it will go much quicker.
