Beyond Nature, Within Nature

The Era of Moshiach

“The glory of G-d will be revealed, and all flesh together will see that the mouth of G-d has spoken”
— Yeshayah 40:5

In the time of Moshiach, G-dliness will be clearly revealed in the physical world. The verse says that “all flesh will see”, meaning that this truth will not remain hidden or only understood by the soul. It will be openly experienced in a real and physical way.

This means that people will not only believe in G-dliness, but will actually sense it with complete clarity. Even animals and all created beings will recognize that their life and existence come from G-d.

This revelation will not be something unnatural forced onto the world. Rather, the world itself will become the kind of place where G-dliness is naturally visible. Just as the eye naturally sees what is in front of it, it will naturally perceive the glory of G-d.

This is connected with the number eight. Seven represents the normal order of creation, like the seven days of the week. Eight represents something higher than nature. Yet in the era of Moshiach, even this higher level will become part of the natural reality of the world.

In other words, the world will rise to a state where holiness is no longer hidden. It will be open, clear, and felt by all.
