The Protection of HaShem

In Shemot 38:28 we read:

ואת האלף ושבע המאות וחמשה ושבעים עשה ווים לעמודים

We interpret, following Yaak,

ואת האלף - Rashei Teivot for ואם תמנה ה'אלף - and if you will count 5000
ושבע המאות וחמשה ושבעים - and 775
עשה ווים לעמודים

What could be the message of P, what will happen in the year 5775? I propose that the answer is in this, and this, the priests will (start to) lose power.

The background is that some Jews were outside of the camp, "Shevet Dan", because they preferred their Avoda Zara. After the work of P, this would be Klal Yisrael. Why did Klal Yisrael prefer to be outside of the camp? Because the voice of the prophets is not heard there. They preferred to be independent. However, the independence had a price. The Truth could no longer be accessed. And the enemies of the Jews, Amalek, had an easy prey in the years of Galut. Until P, there were prophets, Klal Yisrael belonged to the Mishkan, and were protected by the Ananei HaKavod.

In 5775, things will change:

עושה ווים לעמודים - gematria 643

The Vavim are fixed to the Amudim. That is, they will come under the protection of HaShem. The work of P and D has caused Shechichat HaTorah, the Torah came to be "forgotten." But Klal Yisrael is not forgotten.

The Vavim are missing, as starting letters, in Tehilim 25 and Tehilim 34. These chapters of Tehilim are alpabetically ordered, except for the Vav, and the last pasuk, which starts with Peh, פודה הי נפש עבדיו, in the case of Tehilim 34. This has also gematria 643, just like עושה ווים לעמודים. It is a Remez to the connection.

The question is how P could know what would happen in 5775. The answer is that P is the name of a group of authors. There were prophets among them. A prophet inserted the above pasuk, which can be read, in terms of the above "drasha":

"In 5775, HaShem will save the soul of his servants."
