Today we count the 42nd day of the Omer, which is six weeks. We reached the completion of the long waiting period for the seventh week, the time of Man, the time of Adam. Sof Ma'aseh B'Machshavah Techilah.
We have seen that 128 years of the seventh millenium are in a sense not within time. Sof Ma'aseh B'Machshavah Techilah. It seems to me that the 128 years repair for the breaking, as it were, of the Name of 45, caused by the time taken up by the first king. For this repair to be perfect, 128/1000 days of the first king would have had to be within time, a little more than the 2.5/24 days posited in the previous post. The small correction makes the age of the Universe grow another 7264519 years, to 13755317922 years (45128*304805 + 73440 + 4442) ...
Space and time were created. The Universe exploded. Stars were born and died. New stars were born and also they died. Hundreds of billions of galaxies arose - assemblies of hundreds of billions of stars. After 9 billion years, the Sun was born and spew the Earth and the planets. Life arose. Countless numbers of species of life appeared and went exinct, one after the other. Then. after 13.75 billion years of waiting, man arose. Man evolved, understood, invented, progressed, and forgot and regressed. Progressed and regressed. Cultures appeared, and disappeared. Empires arose, and fell. Sof Ma'aseh B'Machshavah Techilah. No matter how erratic and undirected history appears to be, no matter how random and redundant evolution may seem to have been, in truth there is a plan, and the plan is precise.
How great is the Chesed of the Creator. How awesome is His plan. How great His patience. How long is the distance between Techila and Sof. Yet, they will come together, because they are complementary - the awesome beginning and the awesome end. G-d and man. The Shechina and Knesset Yisrael.
Contemplate: Every single letter in the Torah stands for 45,000 years. The lifespan of man is a mere 120 years. Yet, all things that preceded man, all of these letters of Torah, were just for his benefit. It happened for you. All that occurred was to create a perfect world for you, so that you, the purpose of Creation, will observe, and understand, and will be able to learn to know the Creator.
