Mashiach: Wealthy or Indigent?

Hi,

"R' Yehoshua ben Levi asked about two competing texts [regarding Mashiach]: "He came with the clouds of heaven, like a son of man (Daniel 7)" and "a pauper, riding on a donkey (Zecharyah 9)"!

"If they merit, "with the clouds of heaven". If they do not merit, "a pauper, riding on a donkey"."

(Talmud, Sanhedrin 98a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
