== Eternal Life in Moshiach == [[File:עיתון הגאולה 38.png|thumb|The Redemption newspaper that was published 3 days after the 3rd of Tammuz]] In Chassidut, it is explained that the life of King Moshiach comes from the Infinite One Himself, and therefore it is eternal life and death and interruption are not applicable to it. It is also brought in Torat Chaim, Parshat Vayechi, that the life of Moshiach ben David is eternal life. It is further explained in Chassidut that what our Sages said, "David, King of Israel, lives and exists," refers to Moshiach ben David. It was decreed upon man: "For dust you are, and to dust you shall return." Moshiach is the first person in the world who lives an eternal life, since he is the one who nullifies the reality of death from the world, as it is written, "He will swallow up death forever." The reality of death was introduced through the sin of Adam, and "everyone agrees that the sin and punishment of Adam will be nullified in the days of Moshiach. If so, after Moshiach comes, it will be nullified for all of us, but in Moshiach himself it is completely nullified" as explained in Chassidut, that the entire matter of death is because the soul that is revealed in a person's body to animate it is only the extension of life-force, and in the realm of extension, change and interruption are possible, but Moshiach's soul, which is the aspect of yechidah and is the essence of life-force - change and interruption are not applicable to it, but he lives eternal life. Regarding the question of Moshiach's eternal life, Ramban also believes that Moshiach cannot die, explaining that death was introduced due to the sin of the Tree of Knowledge, and "since everyone agrees that the sin and punishment of Adam will be nullified in the days of Moshiach, therefore, after Moshiach comes, death will be nullified for all of us, but in Moshiach himself it is completely nullified." Ramban also cites the verse that refers to Moshiach: "He asked life of You, You gave him length of days forever and ever."
