From 18th century
Torah Commentary titled Likutey Halakhot
by the well-known scholar Rabbi Nahman:
Influence of the
King Messiah over People
Fine oils and perfumes attract people. Like fine oil, Mashiach will have
the power to draw the whole world to his teachings.
(see Likutey Halakhot,
Birkat HaReiach 3:8; ibid. 4:5)
The “spirit of Mashiach” is the ray of hope to which we can cling, the
sweet smelling fragrance of joy and expectation that everything will turn out
for the best.
(see Likutey Halakhot, Birkat
HaReiach 4:21)
[This is the meaning of
the part in the Torah in regard to the last days], “I will place My spirit with
you, and I will cause you to follow My decrees…” “I will cause…,” means that God will cause – something. Through that
something, “you will follow My decrees.”
(Likutey Halakhot, Birkhot
HaPeirot 5:17)
That “something” is Mashiach. Mashiach will have the ability to attract people by drawing them close
to God.
This is the subject of our Sages statement in
the Talmud (Sukkah 52a), “In the Future the evil inclination will be slain.”
