A few quotes from the Rabbi on 'Redemption of Israel'
in which he evokes the love for Zion and mankind as mirroring signs of the redemption

Dear Sons of Zion! We have heard with our own ears how many among our nation's sons, from all ends of the world, have donned the fervent mantle of the Lord of Hosts and have joined in rising with enthusiasm from the torpor of the bitter Exile that had ground the hopes of the People of Israel to dust. They are establishing new societies throughout all Jewish communities on an ongoing basis, and plan to awaken the love of Zion in the hearts of those enduring hardship and to revive their dusty memories. The two main pillars at the foundation of the precious purpose of these societies are love of Zion and love of mankind. People everywhere are contributing to the treasuries of this precious endeavor, each according to their ability, to provide the driving force that is vital to operating these virtuous societies. This precious endeavor reflects the signs of redemption as might a polished mirror illuminated by the lightening of the universe; its praises fill the world. This is indisputable testimony and determining evidence that the LORD has remembered His People and elevated their remnants before His throne. Hurrah! Who could hear of such a thing and not join, body and soul? Who could hear of such a thing and not lovingly take upon himself the yoke of this precious endeavor, this crowning glory?
