[[File:ืืืชืงืื ืขื ืืขืฆืื.png|thumb|And All Delicacies Will Be Common as Dust]] All delicacies will be common as dust. In the future, during the revelation of King Moshiach, in addition to the abundant spiritual prosperity, there will also be material abundance. == Source of the Promise == The Rambam writes in his book Yad HaChazakah: <blockquote>"Goodness will flow abundantly and all delicacies will be common as dust, and the only occupation of the entire world will be solely to know Hashem. Therefore, Israel will be great sages, knowing hidden matters, and will attain knowledge of their Creator according to human capacity."</blockquote> == Like the Great Wealth During the Exodus from Egypt == It is written "As in the days of your exodus from Egypt, I will show you wonders." The miracles that will occur in the future redemption will be similar to the miracles that occurred during the exodus from Egypt. Just as the Children of Israel left Egypt with great wealth, so too in the future redemption they will leave with great wealth and have extraordinary riches, as the Rambam describes: "and all delicacies will be common as dust." Then the warning and promise "there shall be no poor among you" will be fulfilled - everyone will be wealthy. And it will be much greater than during the exodus from Egypt, because then there will also be wonders even compared to the exodus from Egypt, although during the exodus the minimum that each Jew had was 90 donkeys laden with silver and gold. And as we see, Yosef HaTzaddik hid three treasures; the third treasure will be revealed in the future era, because it is too lofty to be revealed in this time. Similarly, during the time of the First Temple, and even during the time of the Third Temple, the Jews had the greatest abundance and prosperity, to the extent that wheat kernels were as large as kidneys. == Nature of the Promise == The reason that in the redemption material abundance and tranquility of soul and body will be given is so that people will be able to engage solely in the study and contemplation of Torah, particularly since new aspects of Torah that did not exist before (called "new Torah") will be revealed in the future. As the Rambam explains in the previous law: "The Sages of all generations did not desire the days of Moshiach neither for dominion that Israel would then have over the entire world, nor to eat, drink and rejoice, but in order to be free for Torah study," since there will be complete material abundance without the need for work and physical exertion on the part of man. The Rebbe adds that this promise also indicates that spirituality will permeate the world so thoroughly that the physical world will be refined, and therefore it too will be materially perfect. In another place, the Rebbe explains that the reason why delicacies will be common as dust throughout the entire world is precisely because no one will be interested in materiality and physical delicacies, as they will be occupied and immersed in spiritual delicacies and the lofty revelations that will be revealed in the days of Moshiach, as it is written about that time: "the only occupation of the entire world will be solely to know Hashem." A hint to this is that it says "as dust" - just as dust has no value (in addition to being abundantly available), so too physical delicacies will not be considered valuable in the future era. == Our Deeds and Service == * In order that in the future "'''delicacies''' will be common," we must also now serve Hashem with pleasure. * Through giving charity ("you shall surely give" - "even a hundred times"), one brings closer the promise that "there shall be no poor among you." * A Jew should strive to be wealthy (wealthy in spirituality, in Torah and mitzvot, and wealthy in materiality). == A Taste == * Even before the coming of Moshiach, already now there is an influence of livelihood in such abundance and expansion that it does not take up any space at all due to its commonality, which is the meaning of "delicacies are common - as dust." * There is already great wealth in materiality and spirituality, wealth beyond which there is none greater. In addition to this, the Jewish people are foregoing the great wealth. == See Also == * [[Fruit trees will bear fruit in the future]] == External Links == * All articles on the topic of Redemption and Mashiach on the Geulah website * Arik Luzon, Will life in 2021 be more expensive?, Geulah website * Money on trees?
