Enter Your Chambers


Someone asked me via email if we will be alone in our rooms when Moshiach comes.  This was also mentioned in the comments of the Years of Awe blog, and referenced by Yaak as follows:

Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

Bava Kamma 60b
The Sages taught: If there is plague in the city, gather your feet, i.e., limit the time you spend out of the house, as it is stated in the verse: “And none of you shall go out of the opening of his house until the morning.”

During the first Pesach, we were essentially alone in our homes, with whomever was in our family...waiting for a few days to see if the lamb was unblemished. Comes to my mind in this very situation; Moshiach must be a hair breadth away!
