“If they merit [it], ‘I will hasten it’
[Yeshayahu 60:22]” (Sanhedrin 98a).
The holy Zohar on “VaEschanan”
explains that the merit of Torah study hastens redemption. The Gemara likewise
states:
“He who occupies himself with Torah study for its
own sake brings redemption closer” (Sanhedrin 99b), and ‘when they study amongst the nations,… I will
gather them’ [Hoshea 8:10]” (Bava Basra 8a).
“The Jewish people will be redeemed not due to
suffering, servitude, wandering, confusion, pressure, or lack of food, but
by virtue of ten people who sit together and study Torah with each other aloud.”
(Tanna DeVei
Eliyahu Zuta, ch. 14).
When God wants to redeem His people from galus, He
will say to the Messianic king [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)], “Galus has terminated.
The merit of righteousness has come before Me like the
scent of spices: The scholars of the generation sit in study halls learning
Torah! Now arise, and accept the kingship I have secreted for you.”
Then the Messianic king will reveal himself to the
Jewish people, who will say to him, “Come, be our brother! Let us go up to
Yerushalayim and nourish ourselves… with the tastes of Torah.”
(Targum, Shir
HaShirim 7:14-8:1)
