And by the hand of Your servants, the Prophets it is written: “All who inhabit the world of man and who dwell on earth— when the banner is raised on the mountains you will see it; and when a shofar will be sounded, you will hear it.”⁸¹Yeshaya 18:3. And it is said: “And it will be on that day, that a great shofar will be sounded, and they will come— those who were lost in the land of Ashur,⁸²Those who were exiled to Assyria were referred to as lost because they never returned to their land and their whereabouts was never determined (Etz Yosef, Dover Sholom). and those who were outcasts in the land of Mitzrayim, and they will prostrate themselves to Adonoy, on the holy mountain in Yerushalayim.”⁸³Yeshaya 27:13. And it is said: “And Adonoy will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning; and my Master, Adonoy, will sound the shofar and go forth in the whirlwinds of the south.⁸⁴Hashem will appear as a storming whirlwind to destroy Antiochus and his army. Others interpret this as a reference to the nation of Aram which will be destroyed (See Rashi to Zecharyah 9:14). Adonoy Tzevaos will protect them.”⁸⁵Hashem will protect the nation of Yisrael.
