“Moshiach, When Will You Come?”

The famous story about the Baal Shem Tov asking Moshiach when he would come begs a question. What exactly was the Ba’al Shem Tov asking? Isn’t the answer for this already mentioned in the Gemara?

What is the difference between serving Hashem out of love versus fear?
Will we have to daven when Moshiach comes?

In this Geula and Moshiach shiur, Rabbi Sholom Zirkind discusses the encounter the Baal Shem Tov had with Moshiach. When asked “when are you coming?” Moshiach answered: “when your wellsprings will spread outwards.”
