1. ... Yeshayah "be'Itah" (in its time) with the next word "Achishenah" (quickly, implying before its time)?
2. ... Daniel "ve'Aru im Ananei Shemaya ke'Bar Inash Asi" (implying that Mashi'ach will come quickly) with the Pasuk in Zecharyah "Ani ve'Rochev al ha'Chamor" (implying that he will take his time even when he comes)?

(a) At first, when Rebbi Yochanan (like Ula and Rabah) said 'Yeisei ve'Lo Achmineih', Resh Lakish ascribed this to a Pasuk in Amos.
What does the Navi say about someone who runs away from a lion and bumps into a bear? What danger did he encounter after escaping from the bear and entering his house?

1. ...the city from the field, having escaped the Senter?

(d) Bearing in mind that the Pasuk in Amos is referring to the pangs of Mashi'ach, what was Resh Lakish saying to Rebbi Yochanan?

(a) He therefore concludes that Rebbi Yochanan's reason must have been based on the Pasuk in Yirmiyah. The Navi there describing the pangs of Mashi'ach, writes "Sha'alu Na u'Re'u Im Yoled Zachar Madu'a Ra'isi Kol Gever Yadav al Chalatzav ka'Yoleidah ... ".
How do we interpret ...

1. ... Rebbi Yanai?
2. ... Rebbi Chanina?

(c) If the Rabbanan, based on a Pasuk in Yeshayah, declare his name as Chivra (meaning a leper, as we learned earlier) de'Bei Rebbi, what do Yesh Omrim call him, based on a Pasuk in Eichah?

(d) What was the name of Menachem's father?

(a) Why did Rav Nachman declare that if Mashi'ach was already alive then, based on the Pasuk in Yirmiyah "ve'Hayah Adiro Mimenu u'Moshlo mi'Kirbo Yeitzei", it would be him (see Agados Maharsha)?

(d) What else might he have meant when he said 'K'gon Rabeinu ha'Kadosh' and 'K'gon Daniel Ish Chamudos'?

(a) What does Rav Yehudah Amar Rav extrapolate from the Pasuk in Yirmiyah "ve'Avdu es Hashem ... ve'es David Malkam Asher *Akim* Lahem"?
