Im not sure what you thought my intention was by cutting and pasting this but my intention is certainly not clear without my elaboration so I will explain.

I see in this a very powerful message for our generation. We are certainly living in the times of moshiach and a 3rd world war in not that far off on the horizon. The world is focused on the economic problems but the fact remains that Ahmadinejad Harasha is still working full force towards building a nuclear arsenal and is pretty close to getting his way. If he got a nuke that could certainly spark a world war, although I can imagine other scenarios leading to war as well. Things are very shaky in the world.

We recently suffered 2 terrible tragedies lo alaynu. 2 butchers went to work, one killed an innocent sweet child and one killed an older man, a big Tzaddik one who was pure like a child. Unfortunately, in the aftermath of the story there were many people asking questions. All kinds of questions, but many were basic Emunah questions. It is scary to see that Klal Yisroel has such shaky Emunah and the second something shocking and difficult to accept occurs we start questioning Hashems ways and start doubting Him.

It seems like Rav Chatzkel Levenstein and the Chofetz Chaim ZATZAL believe that the dor of Moshiach will be a dor that suffers from lack of Emunah. That doesnt mean that we need to fulfill that prophesy. On the contrary, the Chofetz Chaim gave us the secret to being saved from the Chevlei Moshiach. That secret it Emunah in Hashem.

In the zchus of strengthening our Emunah may we all be saved from the Chevlei Moshiach and may we all be zoche to see the Binyan Beis Hamikdosh Hashlishi Bimheyra Biyameinu Amein!
