יברכך ה’ וישמרך (נשא ו:כד)

מדרש רבא (יא:יג) ישמור לך את הקץ 

“He will safeguard for you the End [of Days)”

Maran Reb Yissocher Dov of Belz zt ’l repeated in the name of his father Maran Reb Yehoshua of Belz zt’l. However, tzaddikim were able to pray for the גאולה – redemption to come sooner, they had mercy on the Yidden to prevent them from suffering travails, they would have rather wanted the Geula to come at the right and calm time.  That is why the Anshie Knesses Hagdolah wrote “ולירושלים עירך ברחמים תשוב” – we should return to Yerushalayim with rachmanas and chassadim, and not chas v’shalom with the middah of din.  It says “אבות ה:כ ) “יהי רצון מלפניך שיבנה בית המקדש במהרה בימינו) that the Beis Hamikdash should be built with “רצון” and not through anger.  This is what the Medrash states: “ישמור לך את הקץ” – Hashem should watch and protect the end of days when the geulah comes that it should be מתוך חסד ורחמים ומתוך נחת והרחבה בב’’א.
