"He is approaching with the sound of the trumpet of war. "<b>Beneath Him, the Mount</b> of Olives will <b>split,</b> just as the prophet Zechariah promised would happen when the Redemption arrives!" the voice of Elijah announces. "<b>He is knocking and peeking</b> through the cracks, He is ready to redeem the Jewish Nation from exile, <b>and He is shining</b> with the light of the Redemption.<sup>1</sup> "<b>Half of the Mount</b> of Olives <b>is moving from the east!</b>" the voice of Elijah announces. "God <b>has fulfilled all His promises,</b> and <b>He has come with all His holy</b> angels!" the voice of Elijah announces. "<b>A heavenly voice will be</b> by all the people on earth!" the voice of Elijah announces. "The <b>descendants of</b> the Jewish Nation, who have been <b>carried</b> by God and protected as if in the <b>womb, have been</b> newly <b>born like a baby from its mother's stomach!</b>" the voice of Elijah announces. "She—God's Divine Presence—has <b>suffered and given birth.</b> <b>"Who has</b> ever <b>heard</b> of a nation being redeemed all at once <b>like this?</b>" the voice of Elijah announces. "<b>The Pure</b> One—God—has <b>done all this.</b> <b>Who has</b> seen wonders <b>like these</b> that are happening at the time of the Redemption?" the voice of Elijah announces. "<b>The time of the</b> Redemption has been <b>set. Can an</b> entire nation and their home-land be <b>born in one day,</b> as will happen when the Redemption arrives?" the voice of Elijah announces. "Without the help of God, the One <b>Who is mighty in the</b> higher and lower worlds, can an entire nation be born at once?" the voice of Elijah announces. "When the <b>Beautiful</b> One—God—redeems <b>His nation</b> from exile, even the usual darkness <b>of evening-time will be light,</b> because the light of Mashiach will shine!"

the voice of Elijah announces. "The saviors of the Jewish Nation <b>will go up to Mount</b> Zion in Jerusalem, <b>because Zion has struggled</b> during exile, and now it <b>has given birth!</b>" the voice of Elijah announces. "<b>You will hear throughout your borders: 'Increase the size of</b> Jerusalem—the <b>area of your tents!'</b> Make enough room for all the Jewish Nation returning from exile," the voice of Elijah announces. "Jerusalem, <b>extend your living quarters as far as Damascus.</b> Get ready to greet your sons and daughters!" the voice of Elijah announces. "the Jewish Nation, which is called the <b>Rose of Sharon</b>—a rose that never withers—should <b>be happy, because</b> the Patriarchs who are buried in Hebron have risen up!" the voice of Elijah announces. "God is telling you, <b>'Turn to Me and</b> repent; <b>you will be saved today if you listen to My voice!'</b>" the voice of Elijah announces. "A man has appeared; his name is Tzemach. He is Mashiach, who has in him the soul of King David <b>himself!</b>" the voice of Elijah announces. "God is saying to the dead people, <b>'Those who are in the dust</b> of the earth—get <b>up! Those who dwell in dust—wake up and rejoice!'</b> The time for the Resurrection of the Dead has come," the voice of Elijah announces. "<b>When</b> Mashiach <b>is established as king</b> in Jerusalem, the city with many people, God <b>will be a tower of salvation for His king—</b>Mashiach!" the voice of Elijah announces. "The name of the wicked will be destroyed, and He will <b>show kindness to</b> King <b>David, His anointed one!</b>" the voice of Elijah announces. "God, save the Jewish Nation, <b>the everlasting people;</b> save King David and his descendants forever!" the voice of Elijah announces.
