Moish, why do you say that Rabbis don’t have that test. The gemarra talks about the wealth that Rebbe possessed. There is also a chazal somewhere (might be in pirkei avos) that says that one has no excuses for not learning torah. if you claim poverty, Hillel will come and say he was poorer, If you claim affluence, Rebbe will come out and say he was richer. and if you claim the yetzer hara was too strong, Yosef will come to tell you his was stronger and he beat it.
There were Jews who did not want to leave Egypt during the 1st geula. They perished in the plague of choshech. There will be many similarities between that geula and the coming geula. I know many people who would rather stay wherever they are rather than join moshiach in bais shlishi, I hope they do teshuva before another “makas choshech” hits.
If you think I am being extreme, listen to Rabbi Krohn, he has said numerous times that after a shiur on Moshiach, people will come up to him and ask “Is it true we ALL need to go to Israel after Moshiach comes”
