The Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe wrote a Torah magazine in the 1940s and mentioned, based on Tehillim (Psalm) 93, that before the era of the Messiah and G-d’s Light being revealed on Earth, that if people didn’t listen, there would be the “many waters” mentioned in the Psalm until the world would have to admit that all was coming from G-D Almighty. May we be awakened to true repentance first.
That was then. It’s the fire next time!
