Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said to Elijah the Prophet: When will the Messiah come? Elijah said to him: Go ask him. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi asked: And where is he sitting? Elijah said to him: At the entrance of the city of Rome. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi asked him: And what is his identifying sign by means of which I can recognize him? Elijah answered: He sits among the poor who suffer from illnesses. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi went to the Messiah. He said to the Messiah: Greetings to you, my rabbi and my teacher. The Messiah said to him: Greetings to you, bar Leva’i. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said to him: When will the Master come? The Messiah said to him: Today. Sometime later, Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi came to Elijah. Elijah said to him: What did the Messiah say to you? Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said to Elijah: The Messiah lied to me, as he said to me: “I am coming today,” and he did not come. Elijah said to him that this is what he said to you: He said that he will come “today, if you will listen to his voice.” (Psalms 95:7) בשלום Rabbi Susan
