Blowing the Shofar on the Jubilee

25. At that time OF REDEMPTION, it will be a precept to blow the Shofar on the Jubilee. As it is written: "see, when he lifts up a banner on the mountains; and when he blows a Shofar, hear!" (Yeshayah 18:3). For as with the blowing of the Shofar of Jubilee all slaves go free, so is the final Redemption. Through the blowing of the Shofar, all of Yisrael will assemble from the four points of the earth, since they are slaves until the Jubilee, THE SECRET OF THE LIGHT REDEMPTION. Among masters of Torah there are ALSO slaves on the condition of receiving payment, and they are called 'slaves of the King and Queen.' But of the children of the Holy King, it is written: "I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself" (Shemot 19:4), MEANING on the wings of the living creatures of the Chariot.
