The Year Melech haMoshiach Appears

Rabbi Yuval Ovadia

"We are living through the famous words in the Yalkut Shimoni, but many are asleep and do not realize.  We are living history: the past, the present and the future. This is the year that the King Moshiach appears! That's what the Midrash says, it is not me saying it!  This is an ancient Midrash which has been studied for thousands of years, studied, quoted and we have waited for it to come true. Because this Midrash speaks of a year in which the Moshiach will appear. It explicitly says it will be in that year!"

[In its section on the biblical Book of Isaiah and the prophecies contained therein, a Rabbi cited by the Yalkut Shimoni states]: 

“In the year Moshiach comes all the nations of the world will provoke each other and threaten with war. The king of Persia (Iran) will provoke the King of Arabia (Saudi Arabia) with war. The King of Arabia goes to Edom (The Western Countries, headed by USA) for advice. Then the King of Persia destroys the world. And all the nations of the world begin to panic and are afraid, and Israel too is afraid as to how to defend from this. G-d then says to them “Do not fear for everything that I have done is for your benefit, to destroy the evil kingdom of Edom and eradicate evil from this world so that the Messiah can come, your time of redemption is now.”
