"The Great Redemption" (59)

"The Great Redemption" by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto

-- A Discourse on The End of the Exile and the Beginning of the Great Redemption

Translated by Rabbi Yaakov Feldman
_____________________________________________

59.

There'll come to be a day of great judgment at the end of days which will then finish (the process of) purifying all souls and all creation. But since this is explained elsewhere, I won’t go into details about it here.

All of creation will become utterly pure as a result of that judgment, and evil will be undone. The world will be recast as a new edifice from that time on in a way that’s neither explicable nor knowable, and it will go on forever.

Behold, I have thus presented you with everything that has happened and will happen in the world from its inception to the final generations. But just know how deep G-d’s thoughts are, and how much more lofty than and utterly incomparable to man's ways are His ways.

(c) 2006 Rabbi Yaakov Feldman
