האלף

We saw that האלף לך שלמה (Shir HaShirim 8:12) refers to the extra one thousand years that make the period of Bayit Rishon until Bayit Sheni into 480*10/3 years. This is the period in which Malchut rose upwards towards Zeir Anpin but could not raise the physical world. Alternatively, האלף לך שלמה refers to the spiritual level reached by Shlomo, האלף of Chochma. The word שלמה is a permutation of למשה. This reflects that Shlomo's level was similar to the level of Moshe, who attained האלף of Bina. Had Shlomo reached האלף of Keter, the physical world would have reached permanent wholeness. Moshiach will attain this level.
