Daf Yomi - Megillah 15 - SAYING OVER IN THE NAME OF THE ONE WHO SAID IT

Rabbi Elozar said in the name of Rabbi Chanina: Whoever says a statement in the name of the one who said it will bring redemption to the world. Proof to this is cited from the verse in Megillah [2:22]: The matter became known to Mordechai and he informed Queen Esther. Esther then informed the king of it in Mordechai's name.

The Gemora is always careful in regards to saying statements in the name of the one who said it initially; why didn’t the redemption come already?

The sefer Ohr Lashamayim cites from the Rebbe from Lublin that the Gemora is not referring to the ultimate redemption; rather it is referring to each person’s individual success. Similarly, the blessing of Goel Yisroel in Shemoneh Esrei is referring to the redemption of the individual communities and not for the entire Klal Yisroel.
