== Matters of Service in Exile that Draw Down Revelations in the Redemption == In the Tanya, it is explained:<blockquote>"The ultimate perfection of the Messianic Era and the Resurrection of the Dead, which is the revelation of the Infinite Light in this physical world, depends on our actions and service throughout the period of exile" β Tanya, beginning of Chapter 37</blockquote>Based on this foundation, the Rebbe explains many times that every revelation that will occur in the future is drawn down through similar service in the present time. For example: * Through studying Chassidus with understanding and comprehension, as well as through self-sacrifice that transcends understanding - we draw down the revelations that Melech HaMoshiach will reveal as both "teacher" and "king". Through self-nullification, acceptance of the yoke, and self-sacrifice in our service during exile, in a manner where the service is not from the person's understanding and existence but from the Godliness - we cause the future revelations to be in a manner of limitlessness while still penetrating the physical flesh and body * Through service in two directions - from below to above and from above to below (expressed in services of: prayer and Torah, Written Torah and Oral Torah, and more) - we draw down the revelation that will be in the future "And I will make your windows of kadkod (precious stones)". * Through fulfilling mitzvot with actual deed, and the service of accepting the yoke, we draw down the revelation that will be in the future "deed is greater". * Through revealing the Yechidah as possible now, we draw down the revelation of the general Yechidah that will be complete in the future. * Through offering the sacrifices of Sukkot in the Beit HaMikdash (and reciting the corresponding verses during exile), which correspond to the nations of the world - we draw down the revelation that will be in the future "And kings shall be your nurturers".
