How did the Rebbe view the times we are living in? – the Rebbe saw that Jews completed the avodas habiriruim – in other words refinement of the world, which needed to take place in exile;

(e.g. before the Jews when into exile most gentile nations we’re maybe a bit above cannibalism, and now most, besides very very debased souls – Arabs etc., believe in human rights, democracy, goodness and kindness) hence every time has an avodah (specific mission) hence, based on the time we are in, we need to do things not in exile, rather to bring about the miraculous arrival of Moshaich and primarily this is done through making a lot of money and giving it all to tzedakah, as it states, Zion will be redeemed through justicesness and her people returned to Israel because of the Mitzvah of charity!
