By Coming to Eretz Yisrael, We Bring the Mashiach
Rabbi Eliezer Berland in a Lesson for the Eighth Day of the Omer

Our teacher, the Gaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, in an emotional lesson from Tzalmon in honor of the eighth day of the Omer, Thursday, April 16, 2020, 22 Nissan 5780. These are his holy words:
"'By their drawing near before Hashem' (Leviticus 16:1), Moshe and Aharon also wanted to be consumed (like Nadav and Avihu), but it is forbidden, because a person must live. They always knew how to stop (from the cleaving to Hashem) at the last second; therefore, in the name Nachman, there are two nuns. One nun is above to know always when to stop the cleaving. In the name Natan, there are also two nuns; he knew when to stop the cleaving."
"Nadav and Avihu continued the cleaving, they continued until they were consumed, and they were certain that Moshe and Aharon were the same, that they would continue until they were consumed. So who will lead the generation now, who will lead the generation? If they had lived, there would have been no spies, the Holy Temple would not have been destroyed. This was on the 1st of Nissan; by the 9th of Av, there was already the sin of the spies. The whole point is to nullify the sin of the spies and to ascend to the Land. They said, 'What, suddenly ascend to the Land of Israel? What, suddenly! We will wait for the Mashiach,' and they do not know that by coming to the Land, one brings the Mashiach. If everyone were in the Land today, the Mashiach would come immediately. The whole point is that today the Mashiach should come, at this hour the Mashiach should come, at this second the Mashiach should come; on the Seder night, it is possible to bring the Mashiach. If everyone were to ascend to the Land of Israel, the Mashiach would come immediately. Everyone needs to ascend to the Land of Israel, to bring everyone back here, small and great alike, rabbis, Admorim, and Chassidim—everyone needs to ascend to the Land of Israel."
"This is for the future to come, when Cheftziba will ascend Mount Nebo, ascend to the peak, and blow a teruah and a tekiah for ten hours without stopping until everyone returns the items. One must return the items, close the businesses. 70,000 ships will come, each ship with a thousand people, and then the whole world will come, a hundred million will come. Everyone will come to stop the Jews; the Jews are coming to conquer the Land of Israel. The Jews are arriving in the Land to take Jerusalem, that it shall be the head of all the nations. Mashiach ben Yosef will come; he will be revealed in the Galilee region, and there he will go to the graves of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, and then they will have four shofars: Mashiach ben Yosef with one shofar, and three more shofars for the three forefathers, Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov. And they will blow a teruah, a tekiah, a teruah, and then they will go to the grave of Rachel Imeinu and wake her, and a fifth shofar will fall from the heavens, and everyone will already arrive at the sea of Jaffa at the port, and there will be a hundred million ships there, and on every ship a thousand people. And then the whole world will come; all the Jews are arriving to inherit the Land, and on every ship of the nations that arrives, there will be a thousand missiles. And they will come to take everyone as slaves and maidservants, and then the sea will split and open in two like at the Splitting of the Sea, and then everyone will say, 'As Hashem lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt' (Jeremiah 23:7)."
"Now is the moment of revelation; Moshe tells everyone to ascend to the Land of Israel, now everyone is gathering their belongings and ascending to the Land of Israel. They will ascend to Meron on Lag B'Omer, the Geulah will be there. Hitler committed suicide exactly on Lag B'Omer, and this is the day that Hashem will cut off the nations of the world. Hailstones surrounded by fire will descend upon the hundred million nations. Devorah was surrounded by fire, therefore we mention Sisera in the Haggadah and Yael; Yael is the High Priest, specifically a woman will be the High Priest. Because the woman is greater than the man, because the men brought everything in the sin of the Golden Calf—the earrings, the gold necklaces, the pendants. The women brought mirrors for the Tabernacle; Moshe did not want to accept them, Hashem told him that this is the most important, it is more important than everything; this is how they upheld the Torah."
"For 80 years there was the decree of 'Every son that is born, you shall cast into the river' (Exodus 1:22), every child must be sent to the river. Streams of tears, all of Egypt was filled with streams of tears. All the angels were with four wings, and they caught the children and transferred them to the other side. All the rocks were filled with honey and milk for the children."
