The Chofetz Chaim and the current times

By Elie Soble

There's a very interesting connection between the Chofetz Chaim and our times. The Chofetz Chaim had a student name R' Shachna Zohn who passed away in 2012. In 1968 he wrote a sefer called pirkei Geula. In this sefer he described how Moshiach begins his work with Am Yisroel and not everyone recognized him and that he is already at work. He records a conversation with R' Moshe Feinstein in which he asks him what his opinion is which R' Moshe responds " Er is shoin gevis da" , he's already here. Now in 2007 R'Zohn was interviewed by Mishpocha magazine and he said he had a dream twice in which the Chofetz Chaim told him the Geula is close and he has to be mfarsem to everyone to prepare. When the interviewer asked him if Moshiach is here , he said I answered that in the sefer pirkei Geula!
