Everything is a preparation for Moshiach
The Baal Shem Tov tells us geopolitical events are God winking like a father who can wink and a clever sun understands.
What does this wink mean?
This wink in my humble opinion means as follows.
Greece is the notorious fountainhead of an idea which is relevant today as it was then and hence today it burns as we’ll explain.
The Greeks had no trouble with the Jews studying Torah “we too are cultured people, we gave birth to Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, we too love the culture of using minds for deduction, for exploration, for knowledge” but there is a single all encompassing difference between what Athens, Greece represents and the Torah represents.
