כ"ח פ"ה

The Midrash teaches that Israel's power (כח) is in his mouth (פה). Perhaps this concept is related to Chazal's teaching that Moshiach will come in Yovel period number 85 (פ"ה). In any case, the following is remarkable.

The time זי"ת ז"ך is after one Shmita of Yovel פ"ה. It is also two Shmita periods into the current Machzor Gadol, in its year Samech, right in the middle of its כ"ח years.

Now, this Machzor Gadol, the appointed time for the restoration of Israel's כח, is number פ"ה since 3417, which was very likely the first year of the first Machzor.
