And even if one claims to not yet understand this concept, how Redemption will occur, nevertheless, since every Jew has complete faith that G-d will bring Moshiach, and that Redemption can and will come any day the blessing is given today therefore ones obligation to publicize and study about the coming Redemption does not depend on ones comprehension of how it will happen.
