In the last prayer we asked that Jerusalem come to house the throne of David and become the headquarters for a worldwide spiritual renaissance. We now ask for Mashiach, the offspring of David, who will bring about global teshuvah when nations will no longer war with each other and everyone will live according to the Torah’s values and ideals. In this prayer, however, we not only express concern for global salvation, but also for God’s own redemption. At this point in the Amidah, our stature and confidence has evolved to a very high level. We began the Amidah requesting personal redemption. We then turned our concerns towards national redemption and to the world at large. But now we pray for the salvation of God Himself. May You cause the offspring of David, your servant, to flourish quickly, but not to appear too suddenly. May his coming be like a growing flower, giving us time to appreciate the process and be prepared. And may his power be enhanced through Your salvation, that is, Your salvation that comes from You and Your salvation that happens to You, because for Your salvation and not just our own we hope all day since we have transgressed Your will and banished Your presence from our lives. May the power of Mashiach be enhanced by Your salvation when Your exiled presence is restored on earth and acknowledged by us all. Blessed are You … O how bountiful and abundantly present You are in our lives. O what an ever-flowing wellspring of blessings You are to us, YHVH, Timeless Ultimate Reality, who causes salvation ours and Yours to flourish right now. The more we believe and acknowledge that God is causing the flourishing of salvation, and the more we sincerely want salvation—His and ours—the more the blessings for an all-inclusive salvation can become manifest.
