==== Cities of Refuge as Proof of Redemption ==== The Rambam in the Laws of Kings brings the commandment of cities of refuge as additional proof for the redemption. The Rebbe explains the need for this additional proof since it strengthens the case against one who denies the redemption, because regarding a commandment in the Torah, one cannot say it will change or that it isn't meant literally. The connection between this specific commandment and redemption: Just as a city of refuge absorbs in space, so too there is absorption in time. The time of redemption will absorb all the problems of exile, and then the absorption and atonement of the Jewish people will be completed.
