It is written in the Megillah, “And Esther spoke to the king, in the name of Mordechai.” (Esther 2:22). The Sages learn from here that when one says something over in the same of the original person who said it, he brings redemption to the world (Avos 6:6).
There is a famous question on this: We see that people many times say over a statement in the name of the person who said it, yet the redemption still hasn’t happened yet. Why not? Why hasn’t Moshiach come yet?
The answer to this is because there are two redemptions. There is a redemption for the masses that will happen, and there is a private redemption for each person which must also happen.
When a person says over something in the name of the person who said it, he brings for himself a private redemption, not the public redemption. When will all of Creation have its redemption? It will only be when everyone in the world is saying that everything is all for Hashem’s name.
Let us explain this matter.
In exile, we are cut off from our root. We only see branches of the root as we are in exile – and we never see the root, which is the source of all the branches. In the redemption, however, unity will come to the world – and all of the branches will become unified through the root. All of the branches will return to their root, and then all of the branches will become unified.
Thus, when a person says over something and makes sure to mention who said the statement, he has somewhat of a connection to the source, but it’s only his private connection. The connection has begun, but it’s not complete yet.
The redemption which will take place for the masses, however, will be an integration with the root of all roots – Hashem. In the redemption, G-dliness will be revealed in everything, and there will thus be unity amongst everything. Everyone then will be saying over Who the source of all information is – Hashem. People will feel that everything is all for Hashem, which will unify all of Creation together.
