ALL THE NATIONS ARE IN TURMOIL AND TERROR

Yalkut Shimoni

Rabbi Yitzchak said:

In the year the King Moshiach will be revealed, the kings of all the nations of the World will struggle with each other: the king of Persia will provoke the Arabian king; the Arabian king will go to Aram for advice. All the nations of the World will be in turmoil and terror; they will fall on their faces, seized by pains like the pangs of childbirth. Israel will also be in turmoil and terror, saying, “Where shall we come and where shall we go, where shall we come and where shall we go?” [God] will say to them, “My children, do not be afraid, all that I have done, I have done only for you sake. Why are you afraid? Do not fear, the time for your Redemption has arrived. It will not be like the earlier Redemptions, this final Redemption, because suffering and subjection to other nations followed the earlier Redemptions. But the final Redemption will not be followed by any suffering and subjection to other nations.”
