Regarding “However, בַּעֲוֹנוֹתֵינוּ שֶׁרַבּוּ יָצְאוּ מֵהֶן מַה שֶּׁיָּצְאוּ מֵהֶן – due to our many sins, what has been been taken from them has been taken from them.”
As I remember you mentioned another time that you were a Levi; also considering I am not acquainted with you, therefore you have no obligation to answer my question.
Notwithstanding, I seem to be gifted with chutzpah to ask: Regarding Haftaros Shabbos HaGadol, [question:] Is there a compelling reason that It begins with verse (4) of Malachi Chapter (3)?
Because of the current events and troubles of Israel, etc.,
The first three verses have been my mind’s background continually for a while.
I did wonder if a Levi would care to describe experiential evidence of this purification—
Regarding “The meaning of this last statement is that we are already in potentially messianic times. Mashiach hasn’t arrived yet, so we are eating into those two thousand years.”
This answers my amazement after having read a book about expected Messianic timing in which dates were predicted by a handful of religious sources, including a Jewish calculation 200 years behind all the others! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I feel so privileged to read your researched articles.

any testimony of how HKBH has made one kadosh.
Sorry, right now I don't have the time to answer. It is one of those times when I am being pulled in 15 different directions...
Thank you for answering.

Disturbing, to say the least.
