5786 is Starting Off Wild

שופר is gematria 586.

Add the 100 Kolot from the first day of Rosh Hashana and the 100 Kolot from the second day of Rosh Hashana and you get 786 - corresponding to the year 5786.

Before blowing Shofar, Sepharadim recite the piyut ה' בקול שופר.

Note how the entire piyut talks about Mashiah, but this stanza talks about the Ketz of Mashiah being revealed:

ה' בְּקוֹל שׁוֹפָר יְגַלֶּה קֵץ וּזְמַן

עֵת יִתְקַע וְהָלַךְ בְּסַעֲרוֹת תֵּימָן

וּמַלְכוּת הָרִשְׁעָה אֲזַי תִּהְיֶה פְרוּעָה

עָלָה אֱלֹהִים בִּתְרוּעָה ה' בְּקוֹל שׁוֹפָר

So the Ketz of Mashiah is revealed in the Kol of the Shofar.  Does that possibly mean the 200 Kolot we said on Rosh Hashana plus the gematria of Shofar - 586?

Note also how this stanza talks about the סערות תימן - referring to Zecharia 9:14 at the time of the Teki'a.  On the second day of Rosh Hashana, when shofarot were being heard, Yemen struck Eilat and injured over 20 people.  The next day, Israel struck back against the Houthis' military targets in Yemen.  Sounds like סערות תימן to me.

Meanwhile, in the Mediterranean, Italy (and Spain) have sent warships to aid the flotilla that is headed to Gaza.  וְצִים מִיַּד כִּתִּים, anyone?

May we all be blessed with Mashiah's arrival speedily and with mercy in 5786.
