The first redemption correlated to Torah, came to cessation. The final redemption correlates to prayer and will not cease. Our rabbis o.b.m. said (Medrash Tanchuma, Torah portion of Shoftim, and Yalkut Shimoni, Isaiah 499): the first redemption had an end, but the final redemption will not have an end. Because the first redemption is the aspect of Torah, for Israel merited then to receive the Torah, and the final redemption is the aspect of prayer, which is the essential aspect of David and Messiah, and this is the whole construct of the five books of the Psalms which correlate the five chumashim (-fifths, volumes, books) of the Torah. For all the prayers of David, which are the Book of Psalms, which is replete with all the prayers of Israel, it is all just in order to merit to fulfill the Torah completely, and only through this we will merit the complete redemption which is not succeeded with exile. (Likutay Halachos, Laws of Overpricing, law 1).
