The time is ripe, and the sages of the Jewish People have confirmed that our generation will witness the final redemption. In order to hasten the coming of the true Messiah, we must endeavor to live in accordance with the new order he will establish. The time has come for the nations of the world to live with the Messiah as well, and, as Maimonides stated, realize that their forefathers bequeathed them a false heritage. This truth can be sensed and accepted only when preceded by the recognition that “My thoughts are not your thoughts,” as quoted above.

The past two thousand years have demonstrated both the special Divine Providence that has protected the Jewish People and the failure of other religions to live up to the role of bearer of G-d’s message that they appropriated for themselves. Enlightened people the world over have acknowledged both these points.

It is now time that G-d’s hidden intention, which has guided all of history to this day, be revealed to all. Only in this way can each and every individual sincerely acknowledge the truth and prepare himself and his surroundings to greet the true Messiah, who will imminently arrive and redeem us all.

We fervently call upon all lay people, religious leaders, and the Pope to acknowledge the truth!

All of us yearn for salvation: we are all aware of the terrible suffering throughout the world, and we all believe that the great goodness and joy humanity is destined to inherit will come with the arrival of the true Messiah. And since the essence of the Messiah’s message is joy, our return to the true faith, the Torah of Moses (in which 613 commandments were given to the Jewish People and 7 commandments to the gentiles) can only be accomplished in joy. Such a return will awaken the messianic spirit within all humanity, and will culminate in the advent of the Messiah himself.

For the sake of G-d and for the sake of the goodness promised mankind, the time has come for all nations of the world and their religious leaders to make a radical transformation, to face reality candidly, abandon their former beliefs and acknowledge the absolute truth! Imagine how gratified our One Father in heaven, our blessed Creator, would be to see such an unparalleled display of courage and dedication.

The greater one’s influence on his surroundings, the greater is one’s responsibility. It is the sacred duty of every religious leader to enlighten and awaken the hearts of his followers to abandon the erroneous beliefs they have inherited from their fathers, to undertake to follow the path of the righteous gentiles as taught by the Torah of Moses, and in joy and goodness of heart to prepare for the imminent coming of the true Messiah.
