Firstly, it is the place to which everything returns in the “great” Jubilee, i.e. the completion of the world’s cycle of 7000 years. We are familiar with the basic concept from the Torah’s יובל (jubilee), the jubilee year legislation. The second reason is that a certain “inner spirit” reposes in that region. This is a spirit which comes directly from the emanation חכמה (wisdom), which in turn is fed by the אין סוף (eternal), the ultimate of all causes, G–d’s Essence, at all times. The philological origin of the expression תשובה (repent), is derived from Isaiah 30,15, בשובה ונחת תושעון, “Through returning and rest will you be saved.”
But don’t forget this one thing, loved ones—that with Yahweh one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. Yahweh is not slow in keeping His promise, as some consider slowness. Rather, He is patient toward you—not wanting anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance. But the Day of Yahweh will come like a thief. On that day, the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will melt in fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be exposed.
