God will eventually expand the boundaries of Jerusalem.
And it shall come to pass on that day
that there shall not be light,
but heavy clouds [yekarot]
and thickness [vekippaon]
Question: What is the meaning of [yekarot][vekippaon]?
Answer: This is the light currently provided by the sun,
which is significant [yakar] in this world
and insignificant [kafuy] in the World to Come,
when the moon will shine as brightly as the sun does
now and the sun will be 7 times brighter than it is currently.
