The period 5774-5776 is 353-355 years before Techiat HaMetim in 6129. This brings to mind the teaching of Rebbi in Talmud Bavli Sanhedrin 99a that the years of the Geula are according to the number of days of a year. A non-leap year counts 353, 354, or 355 days.
Rabbi Meir's term in the Knesset, then, was 383-385 years before year 6129. Leap years count 383, 384, or 385 days. The prophet spoke at an auspicious time. The time was at 63 of Bina, exactly 69 "days" after Yetziat Mitzrayim in year 1329, and would have fulfilled the words of Rebbi. Reagan was president, the Soviet Union was collapsing, and Europe was importing millions of Arab workers.
Finally, rabbi Dosa teaches, also in Sanhedrin 99a, that the years of the Geula are 400. Four hundred years are from 60 of Chochma to Techiat HaMetim.
