This message builds on the Genesis 3:15 Torah teaching confirmed in Rabbinic Exegesis. See :
•(see top URL p.1226) “PINAH MENU MOSHIACH TZIDKENU…Moshiach our Righteousness has turned away from us. We are crushed and there is none to justify us. He loaded on himself our sins and the yoke of our transgressions, and he was thrust through because of our transgressions. He loads up our sins on his shoulders so that he might find forgiveness for our iniquities. There is healing for us in His wounds, O Eternal, it is time to create him anew, make him ascend from the circle of the Earth, bring him up from Se’ir (the world of the Gentiles) to proclaim to us again on Mt Levanan by the Hand of Yinnon (Moshiach; see Ps 72:17)” Moshiach in the Prayer Book supplied to the
OJB translator by Rachmiel Frydland in 1980, with notes in his own hand; taken from a Mahzor published long ago but derived from an ancient source.
