Note 67 — “WHEN MESSIAH COMES” (1907) “When Messiah comes, impudence will be rife.”

[The Hebrew word translated above “devotees” is chassidim = “pious ones.” This name is specifically given to a mystical sect which arose early in the 18th century. The Rabbis of this sect were called by their followers tsaddikim (= “righteous ones”) and were credited by them with supernatural powers.]
