• THERE WILL BE A FLOOD OF IMMORALITY BEFORE THE COMING OF MASHIACH

• THE EVIL INCLINATION CONCENTRATES ON THE LEADERS OF OUR NATION 

• THE EREV RAV WERE THE SORCERERS AND MAGICIANS OF EGYPT WHO MOSES TOOK OUT OF EGYPT IN SPITE OF G-D’S WARNING NOT TO TAKE THEM ALONG

• JUST AS THE EREV RAV (THE MIXED MULTITUDE) WERE PRESENT AT THE TIME WHEN THE JEWS LEFT EGYPT, SO IN OUR TIMES MOST OF OUR LEADERS BELONGTO THE SAME CATEGORY 

• THE EREV RAV BRING THE WORLD TO THE STATE OF TOHU VABOHU

• AT THAT TIME THE SHECHINAH WILL NO LONGER BE UNDER THE YOKE OF THE EVIL SIDE

• THE TRIAL FOR THE JEWS IN THE LAST 70 YEARS OF EXILE And this is the trial with which the Jews shall be tested during the 70 years of the final exile. For a poor man is considered like a dead man, and as if he had given up his soul [NOTLIM NAFSHO] The body the soul and money are all considered equal. And with that which is most beloved to the person, that part he has to sacrifice for the love of His Master. And at that time when he sacrifices himself he ties the word AHAVA [LOVE] which is BERESHIT (For BERESHIT in Gematria is 913 and in small numbers equals 13 just like the word AHAVA equals 13). And he who is not ready to give up his body, his soul or his money to His Master at the time of destruction SHMAD is considered as if he had reversed the world to TOHU va BOHU
