Descent for the Purpose of Ascent
No Pain No Gain
נס - Nes - Miracle
ניסיון - Nisayon - Trial
"All the affairs of the world, whether for the good or for the bad, are trials [nisyonos] for a man"… [Mesillat Yesharim* (Path of the Just) Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto]
When a person is destined to reach a level which is much higher than his present rung, it is necessary for him to undergo a descent first. [The Lubavitcher Rebbe]
Before a person experiences a miracle - נס - , he is given a trial - ניסיון. There is no ascent (aliyah) without a prior descent (yeridah). The lower the descent, the higher the potential ascent.
G-d tries the righteous, for knowing that the righteous will do His will, He desires to make them even more upright, and so He commands them to undertake a test, but He does not try the wicked, who would not obey.
Thus all trials in the Torah are for the good of the one being tried. [Nachmanidies, Commentary on the Torah; Genesis, p. 275; Chavel translation; ]
From here, we learn a number of important points. First, the purpose of a nisayon is not to reveal anything new to G-d, but to increase the spiritual reward of the person by bringing forth his or her latent greatness into actual deeds of righteousness.
Second, a person is only sent a nisayon that he or she has the potential to "pass," provided the person uses his free will properly.
Third (and this is implicit in the first point), the nisayon is intended for the good of the person—to elevate the person spiritually.
Nes can also be translated as "banner": The test is meant to "lift a banner" and reveal to the world, and to the person himself, the potential hidden within a human being.

Does anyone remember the Lubavitcher Rebbes sichos about the 3rd temple in america and the cliud over 770? Like where he is quoted. I know someone here knows bc they mentioned it but I dont remember what post that was.
I don't remember either Margolis. It was from a comment by Jem Stone I think. I can't do a search for comments here, and I can't remember where I found the link to it. Maybe later I'll remember where it was.
From Ron's video link:
"the secret of redemption is known in kabbalah. The secret of redemption depends on clarifing the sparks of Rafah.
The name is not Rafiah, in Arabic they call it Rafah.
What is Rafah Nitzot? ..... "
and the rest you'll have to watch and see because I have no strength to keep typing it up. Maybe later I'll type it all up if I feel better.
It does have english subtitles if you navigate to english, and it's only 3 minutes long,
Some tzadik the rav knows predicted last year all the major events that happened in Israel and he said geulah on pesach or if we don't merit it on pesach then, on Shavuot

Hi Devorah - look at the Sicha "Beis Rabbeinu Shebibavel"
https://chabadinfo.com/beis-medrash/kuntres-beis-rabbeinu-shebibavel/
Thanks Aharon. That's for you Margolis.
Ron, these constant predictions are dangerous and take away peoples Emunah and Hope in Moshiach. No such thing that if Moshiach didn’t come on Pesach, then we will have it on Shavuos as that would means Moshiach can’t
come today. Every Jew is obligated to away and believe that Moshiach can come any day. It can come today.
-Elisheva
Elisheva, it's a geula blog, people are interested in what others are saying, even if they don't agree with it.
I suggest you just ignore anything that doesn't sit well with you and stick to your expectation of Moshiach at any time.
Some of the videos Ron posts are excellent.
Elisheva the rav actually said at the end that : so everything is open till Shavuot. By open he means possible.
Ron
Thanks Aaron

It's the yellow moon belonging to the planet Isatum. At least that's what Sam Hofman says it is, but whatever it is, it's something pretty close to us.
