LIVING WITH MOSHIACH #2468

In memory of Rabbi Levi Yitzchok ben R' Zalman Yuda Deitsch OBM

Regarding the burnt offering, it says that it had to stay on the fire "the entire night until the morning." The commentator Ohr Hachaim explains, "Until when will Israel be in exile?... 'The entire night' is a reference to the time of exile.... 'Until morning' refers to the time when He will reveal His glory to us and then dawn will come.... This will be after 500 years of the sixth millennium have passed, the shining of the light of the sixth day, Moshiach will come. G-d's day is 1000 years long. The first five hundred years represent the night and the next five hundred years, the day."
