Eighth Blessing >

Blessing Seven: Geulah

Redeem us for the sake of thy Name

The seventh blessing of the weekday Amidah is called Ge'ulah ("redemption") and appeals to the LORD for redemption and deliverance. The Talmud says this blessing's position as seventh in the Amidah points to the future advent of Messiah which will

be preceded by seven years of travail (the time of Jacob's trouble). In the seventh year, the upheaval will reach its climactic stage and the world will totter on the brink of total destruction. Then Messiah will appear and end the horror to usher in an era of unsurpassed shalom.
