Jewish law does not allow us to force the final battle. But I think it is drawing apace. Moreover, the government in Israel still believes in political settlements. I think they are woefully ignorant of the obvious, but I can understand why they want to believe there is still hope. It seems like every 30 years about there is a major war in the world. WWI and II were about 30 years apart, and remember that by the Yom Kippur War about 30 years later it was only by hair that the world avoided a world war. Each time the world comes closer to the brink. I remember that Nixon ( a man who really deserves the gratitude of every Jew) put all armed forces internationally on the highest level alert as did the Soviets. The world came that close then. It is 30 years later. I hope Moshiach comes in peace, but if through war, then that is the way it must be. I hope that more Jews realize how hopeless the political broken reed is and turn to G-d. The Jews, the Arabs, the world needs and cries out for Moshiach NOW.

Nostradamus in one of his clearest passages says that it will be 57 years between WWII and WW III, and that is up this spring and summer.

As for the Messianic age, it would have come, and the Indignation ended, in AD 1967 if Israel had had the faith and observance to tear down the abominations standing there, and reinstitute the Temple.

God would like to end the Hester Panim, but cannot while those stand. A date is given in Scripture for them to come down though, a Jewish year, but it is not this year now running.

Okay. But the rest of your statement...

I hope Moshiach comes in peace, but if through war, then that is the way it must be. I hope that more Jews realize how hopeless the political broken reed is and turn to G-d. The Jews, the Arabs, the world needs and cries out for Moshiach NOW.... is IMHO loony. I am Jewish and a strong supporter of Israel but by mixing religion and politics you are coming close to falling into the same trap as the adherents of political Islam.
