כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֥י תֵבֵ֖ל וְשֹׁ֣כְנֵי אָ֑רֶץ כִּנְשֹׂא־נֵ֤ס הָרִים֙ תִּרְא֔וּ וְכִתְקֹ֥עַ שׁוֹפָ֖ר תִּשְׁמָֽעוּ׃ (ס)
세상의 모든 거민, 지상에 거하는 너희여 산들 위에 기호를 세우거든 너희는 보고 나팔을 불거든 너희는 들을지니라

Genesis 49,9., “Yehudah is like a lion’s whelp; you have grown from merely capturing prey, my son.” Rashi’s commentary on this verse draws attention to the fact that in the first half Yehudah is described as גור אריה, “an immature lion”, (as in Samuel II,5,2 describing David, while King Sha-ul was still alive, whereas later on when he was on the throne he is described as אריה, a fully mature lion).
We have explained repeatedly, that the principal purpose of the Jewish people having been sent into exile is to “save” some of the “sparks” that had descended from the “Shechinah” so that they could return to their celestial habitat. [Compare reference to this concept on pages 21-22. Ed.] As soon as this purpose of the exile will have been accomplished, and, as a result, evil will have been expunged from our regions, seeing that had it not been for Adam’s sin, it would never have been possible to feel “at home” on earth, the final redemption will follow in its wake.
