It is so real, so attainable. Just the way God has sustained us through all the years of Exile, so will He lead us to the Final Redemption, the day we will be free forever of the hatred of the nations.
Isn’t it time for us to usher in the era that is without death and suffering? Isn’t it time for, in the words of Lecha Dodi, “those who devoured you [to be] cast far off and [for] Your God [to] rejoice over you like a groom rejoicing over his bride”?
It is all in our hands. I am sure our Father in Heaven wants so much to give it to us. Let’s help Him and by our actions merit His eternal reward. At every red light let us study, and, when the light turns green, let us contemplate His Torah. Don’t we say it every day in the Shema? “Let these matters that I command you today be upon your heart . Teach them to your children and speak of them while you sit in your home and while you walk upon the way .”
Then indeed we will have “light and gladness and joy and honor.”
May we see it soon in our days.
