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.”
Interpretation concerning the ages made by God, all the ages for the accomplishment [of all the events, past] and future. Before ever He created them, He determined the works of … age by age. And it was engraved on [heavenly] tablets… the ages of their domination. This is the order of the cre[ation of man from Noah to Abraham, until he begot Isaac; ten [unknown period].
The shofar of the Jubilee year will announce liberty throughout the land, just as the shofar of Elijah will proclaim the final redemption.
