RAV KOOK ON Anticipating Redemption
There are six measures, the Sages taught, by which we are judged: “When brought for heavenly judgment, one is questioned: ‘Were your business dealings honest? Did you set fixed hours for Torah study? Did you engage in procreation? Did you anticipate redemption? Did you discuss wisdom? Did you discern new insights?'” (Shabbat 31a) Most of these questions indeed are the cornerstones of a life well-lived. But the fourth one — “Did you anticipate redemption?” - why is that so important? Don’t we all hope for the best? What does this trait reveal about how one has lived one’s life?
