Eretz Yisrael During the Geulah

The entry into the Land during the future Redemption will not be through conquest and war, as it was during the first entry into the Land, but rather through tranquility.

In the future Redemption, the land of Yerushalayim and its holiness will spread throughout all of Eretz Yisrael, and the land of Eretz Yisrael will spread throughout the entire world, and the world itself will expand endlessly.

Division of Eretz Yisrael

The conquest and division of Eretz Yisrael in the future will have many new aspects:

1. The division will be done by the Holy One, blessed be He, and in an equal manner, so that there is not a single Jew who doesn't have a portion both in the mountain and in the lowland.
2. Eretz Yisrael will be divided into thirteen portions. The twelve tribes (the tribe of Yosef - Menashe and Ephraim - as one, and also the tribe of Levi (since everyone will be like the tribe of Levi, therefore the tribe of Levi will also receive a portion)), and the thirteenth portion will be for Melech HaMoshiach.
3. The Jewish people will inherit all the lands, including the land of Keni, Knizi, and Kadmoni.
4. It will be "all its inhabitants upon it" in complete perfection, including all Jewish people from all generations.
5. The conquest and division will happen immediately [and consequently they will also bring bikkurim (first fruits) immediately, since "the plowman shall meet the reaper"].

Our Actions and Service

• Through strengthening family purity and kashrut, just as it was before the first entry into Eretz Yisrael.
• Through the completeness of the Land, by holding onto the territories, we merit "Hashem your G-d will expand your boundary."
• "For Elokim will save Tzion and build the cities of Yehuda, and they will dwell there and inherit it," measure for measure, work in Torah, avodah, and acts of kindness.
• Through the work of "Make here (outside the Land) into Eretz Yisrael," which is accomplished first and foremost through building synagogues and study halls ("mini-sanctuaries"), and from them holiness extends throughout all the lands of the nations.

And through this we hasten, expedite, and bring about the fulfillment of the prophecy "In the future, Eretz Yisrael will spread throughout all lands," "that the entire world will then be on the level of the current Eretz Yisrael, and then Eretz Yisrael will be on the level of the current Yerushalayim, and this is what they meant when they said that Yerushalayim will spread throughout all of Eretz Yisrael," where the synagogues and study halls of Babylon will be established, connected to the Temple.

A Taste, a Sample, and a Beginning

The settlement of the tribes of Gad and Reuven beyond the Jordan is a sample of the division of the land of the ten lands in the future.

As long as the Jewish people have not yet merited the complete Redemption - Yericho - "smell and judge," they are still in the 42 journeys. However, the Rebbe determines that we are already standing at the Jordan of Yericho.
