- Eliyahu directs Rebbe Yehoshua ben Levi to Moshiach, who says he is coming "היום"
Ulla said: ייתי ולא איחמיניה – “Let [Moshiach] come, but I should not see him!” Rabbah said the same, but Rav Yosef said: ייתי ואזכי דאיתיב בטולא דכופיתא דחמריה – “Let him come, and I should merit to sit even in the shadow of his donkey’s dung.” Abaye asked Rabbah why he did not want to see Moshiach. If it because of חבלו של משיח – the suffering preceding the arrival of Moshiach, but the talmidim of Rebbe Eliezer asked him: מה יעשה אדם וינצל מחבלו של משיח – what should a person do to be saved from the suffering before Moshiach? And he responded: יעסוק בתורה ובגמילות חסדים – he should involve himself in studying Torah and in acts of kindness. Abaye concluded his question, that since Rabbah certainly excelled in both, why was he afraid to see Moshiach? Rabbah answered: שמא יגרום החטא – “I am afraid that perhaps sin will cause me to lose my protection from חבלי משיח.”
