== His Death == In the Gemara, it is stated that Mashiach ben Yosef will go to war against the descendants of Esav, and during the war, he will be killed by Armilus, the king of Edom, thus fulfilling the prophecy: "And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esav stubble, and they shall kindle in them and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esav, for Hashem has spoken." Chassidim relate that R' Hillel of Paritch said that he does not understand the words of our Sages that Mashiach ben Yosef will die in battle, and perhaps the intention is that the light of Chassidus will not shine so brightly in the footsteps of Mashiach.
