The beginnings of redemption, in the land of Israel itself

Hi,

"It is true - the beginning of redemption definitely continues to appear before us. However, this revelation did not begin today, but from the time when the revealed end began to be revealed, from the time when the mountains of Israel began to produce branhes and bear fruit for the Jewish nation which had come closer. That is when the beginning of redemption was initiated."

(R' Avraham Yitzchak haKohen Kook, Igrot Ra'ayah 3:155, based on Yechezkel 36:8 and Sanhedrin 98a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
