How Our Righteous Mashiach Will Appear - Words of Holy Fire from the Kabbalist Rabbi Daniel Stavsky shlit"a

Rabbi Daniel HaKohen Stavsky shlit"a, in a conversation held a few years ago, reveals secrets in the name of a hidden tzaddik and paints the image of our Righteous Mashiach - these are his holy words.

"If our actions, God forbid, are not good and there are acts of separation, then it causes separation in the worlds, a wall of iron is spread between the Creator and the creation - judgments prevail, may we not know - but, when there are great evil deeds, a desecration of Hashem occurs, a void is created in creation, and a decree is formed. A decree is when two levels in the worlds are cut in two and the abundance does not pass. The nullification of the decree is through the teshuvah (repentance) of Israel, and then their cry will rise to Hashem, and this reconnects what is cut."

Another possibility is through great tzaddikim who know where the decree is, they ascend there and sew it together, they do the spiritual work. If even this does not succeed, then various acts of self-sacrifice are performed."

"If nothing helps to rectify the decree, then - tzaddikim take upon themselves various acts of self-sacrifice. And if even this does not help and there are very harsh decrees, then the tzaddik must depart, and his neshamah (soul) is what seals the breach, and through it, through the neshamah of the tzaddik - all the abundance descends to the world. As the holy Baal Shem Tov says about the Gemara (Taanit 24b), "The entire world is sustained for the sake of Chanina my son, and Chanina my son is satisfied with a measure of carobs" - that the whole world is nourished and sustained because he is Chanina, who is like a son of Hashem. The tzaddik is like a path, like a conduit, and Hashem passes the abundance through him to the world."

"On the eve of Shavuot, a letter arrived from Aharon HaKohen, he is 105 years old, who spoke of difficult things that were decreed and asked us to go out and pray, we did so but it was not enough. An hour before the holiday, we received another letter in which the tzaddik said he could not describe what awaits us."

In the 42nd minute of the lesson, Rabbi Stavsky begins to speak about the revelation of the Mashiach: "The moment we are strong to be attached to Hashem and His Torah, then the true leader will appear. None of the known ones is the true leader, we pray every day for the arrival of our Righteous Mashiach and Hashem will reveal him."

"It will not be one of the known rabbis, he will be very different from what people usually imagine, because the prophet Isaiah already described him: "Despised and rejected by men, a man of pains and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised, and we esteemed him not" (Isaiah 53:3). "Rejected by men," he will not have an impressive personality. "But he was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed" (ibid. 53:5), he will appear very repulsive, as it is written "he was pierced for our transgressions." "A man of pains and acquainted with disease," such a sickly man, he will not have a tie, and according to the description, he will not appear symmetrical."

"And he will smell with the fear of Hashem, and he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by what his ears hear" (Isaiah 11:3). "And he will smell with the fear of Hashem," Mashiach will have great emunah (faith). And whoever deals with him with all sorts of concepts, it is written: "He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked" (ibid. 11:4)."

"Our leader is not from here, it will be like the Exodus from Egypt. Moshe Rabbeinu who redeemed us from Egypt was not someone who influenced from within the leadership of the oppressive exile. No, he was from outside, 40 years in Cush and another 7 years in Midian! Aharon HaKohen, who was a prophet, knew to go out to the desert and bring him, he told the elders of Israel that this was his brother, the one who killed the Egyptian, because Moshe was wanted in Egypt."

"Moshe Rabbeinu had a police record, Moshe Rabbeinu killed one of the Egyptian rulers. He was not one of the consensus people, he fled, the whole country wanted to murder him - the enemy of the state Moshe Rabbeinu. When he returned at the age of 80 after 47 years, no one remembered him."

"He also did not study in the established frameworks and yeshivas, he studied in Pharaoh's yeshiva, and with Yitro, not in the prestigious yeshivas, who knew him at all? Also, he stammered a bit, did not know how to speak."

"He came from outside - because someone inside needs to be redeemed himself, he certainly cannot redeem anyone. Therefore, we are waiting for someone corrected who has not been contaminated with all this world, all the laws that humans invented, all the inventions of human beings."

"We pray that Mashiach will come and redeem us - he is ready, but we need someone to receive him. We need someone who will have a bit of non-human concepts, not of politics, but divine concepts of the Torah. Therefore, we need preparation of rectifying the imagination, to disconnect from these human concepts, from human laws, from the Knesset and all that the wicked have built. The moment we disconnect from this, pure air will enter the heart and the neshamah, the mind, the intellect, let us make space and then divine values will enter, and we will be ready to receive our Righteous Mashiach."
