The orthodox were against the movement on religious grounds, because it was "forcing the end" of Israel's trouble before the destined day of God arrived. But with the "nineties" the movement received a strong impetus.

Such things will happen; we must be prepared for them. It was nothing in myself that dimmed your world." "Another time I will be braver, then," she told him, "and even in the darkness I shall know you close, ah, very close to me...." For a long, long stretch of time, then, they stood joyfully together and watched the lilac growing. They also saw the movement of the sun across the sky.

Inspirited by this success, the Persians rushed upon their enemies, who, disheartened by the loss of their commander, began a retrograde movement, falling back upon their newly-made bridge.
