Naftali and Future Fruit






When Jacob blessed Naftali, he described him as “a swift gazelle” (49:21). The Midrash reads this as an allusion to the Valley of Gennesar within Naftali’s portion—an area where produce matures with striking speed. This unusual fertility is linked to a powerful spiritual radiance flowing from the realm of Atzilus (God's Essence) which intensifies the earth’s natural capacity to bring forth growth.

The teaching points beyond the present, hinting to the Future Messianic Era described by the Midrash—when trees will yield fruit on a daily basis . In a similar spirit, the prophet Amos depicts breathtaking abundance: “Behold, days are coming,” says G-d, “when the plowman will catch up to the reaper, and the one treading grapes will catch up to the sower of seed” (9:13).

This accelerated productivity will be driven by an exceptionally intense Divine revelation, one that will fully unite with the physical world.

Redemption timing




The Rebbe’s strong assertion is that the Redemption will occur instantly: “the codifiers of Jewish law have already acknowledged that the true and complete Redemption via Moshiach Tzidkeinu needs to be
instantaneous (דימו ףקת), and it will indeed occur that way in actuality...the
beginning of the Redemption and its completion come immediately,
‘without the delay of the blink of an eye’.”

According to the Rebbe there is no truth to the popular misconception that the Geulah is a gradually unfolding process, because “Those who say that the Geulah of Israel will come in a natural way and slowly...they are hiding from the reality and also the past…that in the blink of an eye the army of Hashem went out from Egypt...carried on wings of eagles...in this way will come the transformation of the entire Creation…”
