Rabbi Aba said: There is no greater manifestation of the Final Redemption than the verse, "And you, mountains of Israel, you shall give forth your branches and you shall bear your fruit for My people Israel, because they have come near"(Ezekiel 36).

When the Land of Israel will give forth its fruit bountifully, then the Redemption will draw near; there is no greater manifestation of the Redemption than this.(Rashi)
(L'Chaim)
