Editing Chezkat Mashiach (section)

==== And He Will Fight the Wars of Hashem ====
These wars will be physical wars against the enemies of Israel. However, it is possible that they will occur in a peaceful manner, and in a miraculous way through speech alone, as it is said about Mashiach: "He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked." For example: They say to Mashiach: A certain country has rebelled against you! He says: Let locusts come and consume it—and not through an army.

Among his wars will also be the wars to cut off the seed of Amalek, as Mashiach will clarify who is the seed of Amalek and fight with them and cut them off. And after he brings peace in the world from all enemies, the next stage will arrive—certain Mashiach—he will build the Holy Temple and gather the dispersed of Israel. The spiritual aspect of Mashiach's war against Amalek in divine service is the spiritual battle of the Jewish people at the end of the time of exile. This war is against the coldness that the klipah of Amalek tries to instill in Jews, from which stems the claim that involvement in worldly matters should be with consideration for the world and nature.

In the year 5752 (1992), the Rebbe said: "Mashiach has already begun these wars, and in several matters he is already victorious."
