Neto, Hello! This is about the ERA of MOSHIACH. I think this Era is a time past with a future coming FULL CIRCLE with the past.
ERA: Ami Steinberger wrote a blog for Jewish Press called, "How to say Era in Hebrew." Ami says, "In Mishnaic Hebrew, it (Era) refers to a period of time that repeats itself."
Ami further states, that Era's "root – ק.ו.פ (k.w.p), is the same root as the word for to encompass - לְהָקִיף
The root ק.ו.פ is about coming full-circle. Thus a תקופה, even in Modern Hebrew, is a period of time – with a beginning and an end."
So, I'm adding a few sayings from Torah that may match Ami's research on the word "Era."
THE RETURNING WORD
In Isaiah 55:11---HASHEM say,"so shall be My word that emanates from My mouth,
it will not return to Me unfulfilled unless it will have accomplished what I desired
and brought success where I sent it."
Genesis 1:26 provides an "end of Days." The sixth Day is at the end & next to seventh & G-d's Day of rest.
Torah records G-d saying, "Let us make man in "Our image, after Our likeness. They shall rule........
HASHEM'S GLORY & IMAGE (Exodus 34.5) provides thirteen Attributes of Mercy.
If this Image is the same as G-d provided man In Gen. 1:26, then the man is a collective
of "they" & we can also call him Israel because the name Israel means "He will rule as G-d."
We should begin to see Israel as ruler from the Beginning when the fullness of time returns
full circle to Genesis record of Creation & Beginnings.
In Isaiah 55 & 56 the word "eternal" is found at least three times.
The chabad.org website records Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory (1902-1994)
teaching why the Talmud states, "Jacob Our Father Never Died."
The Rebbe continues, "From where do we know this? From the verse: ‘Fear not, Jacob…
for I will save you from afar and your seed from their captivity’ — just as his seed is alive, he too, is alive.”
This is very interesting reading. Time gathers up the righteous & takes them with it.
I think G-d circles Time around to begin all things new & doesn't march on into some unknown infinity.
The ending melding with the beginning, IMHO.
