The daily chizuk from The Rav, the holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a – everyone wants peace, but what will bring peace?

Tuesday, 13 Tammuz 5782 – the prophet Daniel searched through the sefarim for the year of the Geulah; these are his holy words:

“For so said Hashem: When seventy years for Babylon are completed, I will remember you, and I will fulfill for you My good word—to return you to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think about you, says Hashem—thoughts of peace and not of harm, to give you a future and hope” (Yirmiyahu, chapter 29, verses 10–11)

I know all the thoughts—thoughts of peace. You want peace?

Fine—there will be peace. Stop serving idolatry, and there will be peace!

It is written in Daniel (chapter 9, verse 1): Where is this prophecy? Where is the prophecy?

It says 70 years—so why isn’t it being fulfilled?

“In the first year of Daryavesh son of Achashverosh, of Median descent, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans—in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, gained understanding from the sefarim”—I searched through all the sefarim—“the number of the years about which the word of Hashem came to Yirmiyahu the prophet, that the desolations of Jerusalem would be completed in seventy years” (Daniel 9:1–2).

Now we have already been waiting two thousand years—this year will already be the Geulah.
