Editing Dor Hashvei - The Seventh Generation (section)

== The Seventh Generation ==
This fundamental discourse opened the way for the Rebbe's comprehensive work to spread Judaism and Chassidism throughout the world through emissaries and mitzvah campaigns - work whose purpose is to complete our generation's task and bring redemption. Countless times during his years of leadership the Rebbe expressed that this generation is the last generation of exile and first of redemption, and in it the required work in exile will be completed.

The term "The Seventh Generation" did not recur often in the Rebbe's teachings, appearing only on rare occasions. One of them was in a talk from Shabbat Parshat Vayigash 5747.

The Rebbe compared our generation to the sefirah of Malchut - the final sefirah in the count of sefirot, which receives all the lights from the sefirot before it and draws them down below to the lower worlds (while the Previous Rebbe's generation corresponds to the preceding sefirah, Yesod).
