[Ba'al Shem Tov, Vayechi 1:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ba%27al%20Shem%20Tov/s/Vayechi/r/1:1)

**ויקרא יעקב אל בניו ויאמר האספו ואגידה לכם את אשר יקרא אתכם באחרית הימים.**בשם הבעל שם טוב, אשר יקרא דרך מקרה, שכל אחד ואחד ישב על עבודתו, בהיסח הדעת, ופתאום יבא משיח:
(ילקוט משה פ' ויחי).

**Ami Silver, 2020:**
**And Jacob called to his sons and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what will happen to you in the end of days.** (Genesis 49:1)
Jacob said, “What will happen” – because the redemption will seem to just happen.⁶⁷ in Hebrew means “an occurrence,” and has the implication of a chance happening. Everyone will be busy with their work, not thinking about it at all, and suddenly, the Messiah will come.
*Yalkut Moshe, Vayechi*
