Hearken and hear Israel, [1] this is the time marked for the redemption by Mashiach.
The sufferings befalling us are the birth-pangs of Mashiach.
Israel will be redeemed only through Teshuva. [2]
Have no faith in the false prophets who assure you of glories and salvation after the War. [3]
Remember the word of G-d, "Cursed is the man who puts his trust in man, who places his reliance for help in mortals, and turns his heart from G-d" (Yirmiyahu 17:5).
Return Israel unto the Eternal your G-d; [4] prepare yourself and your family to go forth and receive Mashiach, whose coming is imminent.
