"Five things brought about the redemption of the Israelites from Egypt:
(1) The sufferings of the people
(2) their repentance;
(3) the merits of their ancestors
(4) the expiration of the time fixed for their captivity
(5) the mercy of their G-d.
These same causes will operate towards the realization of Israel's Messianic hopes and lead to the last redemption through Messiah." ~ Deuteronomy Rabba 2
