Why did Moshe Rabbeinu erect and dismantle the Mishkan anew during
                   each of the first seven days of the inauguration? Why did he not leave it
                   standing and wait until Hashem would rest His Shechinah upon it? This
                   is because Moshe knew that Hashem desired to rest His Shechinah among
                   His children on condition that they clearly yearned for His Presence.
                   Therefore, Moshe dismantled the Mishkan every evening, in order to
                   arouse Am Yisrael to do complete teshuvah, demonstrating their yearning
                   for Hashem’s Presence. In this way they would merit having the
                   Shechinah reside amongst them.

                   Similarly, Eliyahu Hanavi told Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi that Mashiach
                   is ready to arrive each day. However, his arrival is on condition that Am
                   Yisrael fulfill the words “Even today, if we but heed His call!” This
                   implies that on the day that Hashem’s call to fulfill His mitzvot is heeded,
                   we will merit the everlasting redemption, since the Mashiach is already
                   prepared and waiting to appear.
