We lament today the beginning of the end of the Yerushalayim and the Beis Hamikdosh. Much of what we do and don't do these next three weeks is to make sure we never forget the destruction of what once was on that Holy Mountain in the Holy City and the great men who walked there. At times it seems like we're content on remembering the old and not thinking about the new. The Lubavitcher Rebbe, zy"a, asked that during the 3 weeks we learn the Hilchos Beis HaBechiroh of the Rambam, so that we know what we once had and that we look forward to what will be rebuilt, speedily in our days. One might say this idea is very much in-line with the Rebbe's way of thinking, which is to focus on the future, but to use our past as our guiding light. When it comes to Golus/Geulah the Rebbe would focus on bringing the Geulah, hoping for it every day, and doing all that we can to make it a reality. I can see where some of you may be uncomfortable with that, maybe because you think that it somehow lessens the mourning aspect of the 3 weeks, but rest assured: It is possible to balance both, and it needn't be mixed up with current-day Tziyonus either! It is possible to follow all mandated laws of mourning and at the same time hope for redemption, may it be speedily, in our days. The Rebbe showed us how.

The Koziglover says one should learn hilchos yomtov since in the future this will be a time of Yomtov. But others disagree, saying the yomtov will be from tishabeav until 17 of tammuz and the only non yomtov will be the three weeks.
the Chofetz Chaim introduced Limud Kodshim for in case Moshiach comes we should be prepared,He also printed the Likutie Halochas,
(a hidden meschichist)
If not for the efforts of the Zionists , Jerusalem would still be looking as your picture.

Knowing the Rebbe,
you should of add the Rebbe's source in Midrash tanchuma.
to mike: musihach will destroy every thing the Hertzelites built and start from scratch
Shuvu
will moshiach destroy all that Hordois built too?
Will moshiach destroy all properties that Satmar won thru the Arkoas too?
Which mushiach-Mushiach ben Zali or Mushiach ben Aron?I think this is discussed in Sefer "Dor Acharon."
Shuvu,
Does the destruction include all the yeshivas , shuls etc getting money from the Reshoim.
Will KJ survive the Messianic arrival ?
Will the Mashaich destroy all the churches and Mosques too, if so how will you explain this in the Washington Post ?
Mike powers
"Will KJ survive the Messianic arrival ?"
it depends if Moshiach will be a Aroni, he will demolish all Bnie Yoel and Zali institutions, will nullify all Kidushins of the New Hall. Give them a status as Asufi or Shetuki, meaning a Lefkowitz or Yakabovich of these marriages are not the real Mccoy, but not for halachic matters.
If moshiach will be a Zali he will Destroy the other side as well, will hang on the tallest light pole the evil rebetzin Sasha bas Liecha
you meschichistin, moshiach will come and make peace between yiden!like ahoran h'akoan did,but apikorsim? will not even be there and certanley will not even rise from the dead, the same goes to all the collateral they builded wich has the din for a beis avoda zorah or worse! of course will be destroyed its a posik in the tora! oh the washington post i forgot washington who?
