WORDS OF THE RABBIS

Rabbi Nachman, the Breslover Rebbe

Once Rebbe Nachman said to someone: “I will now reveal a secret to you. There will be great disbelief in the world. The disbelief will come from Above as a test. Now I know that my people will truly strengthen themselves in faith and remain firm in their belief even without this. However, I reveal this to you now so that they will strengthen themselves even more, knowing that this has been foreseen and discussed.” Words like these were heard from his holy mouth several times. He would heave many sighs about this matter and would say: “Oh, how will a few people be able to stand up against the whole world?”

And since he already made known that this would be the Test, a person should most certainly be able to withstand it. Nevertheless, it will be such a great Test to the point where many will not be able to withstand it. Nevertheless, I am writing about it so that those who seek holy Truth and Faith know that our Rebbe of blessed memory informed us about it in advance, and so that they will be able to console themselves and strengthen themselves in G-d and his holy Torah in the manner we received from our Sages of blessed memory in the Talmud and Jewish legal codes.
