Musar su Isaia 59:20
וּבָ֤א לְצִיּוֹן֙ גּוֹאֵ֔ל וּלְשָׁבֵ֥י פֶ֖שַׁע בְּיַֽעֲקֹ֑ב נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָֽה׃
E un redentore verrà a Sion, e per quelli che si allontanano dalla trasgressione in Giacobbe, dice l'Eterno.

And inasmuch as He had created all of these, it was necessary to create the Temple and the name of the Messiah before creating man. For in the days of the Messiah, the earth will be filled with knowledge and there will be no evil desire among men. And all people, great and small, will know the name of God, may He be exalted, with a great knowledge and then they will know, all of them, that the principal reason for the creation of the world was service to the Creator, may He be exalted. Therefore, He first created all of these seven before He created the world. "And saviours shall come up on mount Zion (Obad. 1:21) and "a redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob" (Is. 59:20). Amen. And thus may it be His will.

To get back to our subject. Perfect repentance is performed with a totally sincere heart. Such repentance is welcome and eagerly accepted by G–d. When Israel was purified in Egypt it returned to G–d and was redeemed. A similar process will occur in the future, as the Torah has assured us. Our sages have extolled the importance of repentance saying (Yuma 86) that it hastens redemption, as we know from Isaiah 59,20-21: "And a redeemer shall come to Zion and to them that turn from transgression in Jacob, says the Lord." Amen.

In order to survive in our lengthy exile we must employ the weapons of repentance, prayer and charity so as to mobilize the support of G–d on our behalf. The equivalent of "war" is repentance, which reflects the battle with our evil urge. He who can conquer his baser urges has proved himself to be a mighty warrior. This condition will prevail until the prophecy that we will conquer Mount Se'ir will be fulfilled. The redemption will come as a result of repentance, as we know from: ובא לציון גואל ולשבי פשע ביעקב "The redeemer will come to Zion and to those in Jacob who have repented their iniquities" (Isaiah 59, 20).
