Themselves transform to become good as the Possuk כִי בְרַבִים הָּיוּ עִמָּדִי “Because the many were with me”, that the existence of the masses became 'with me.' And not only that but this matter will be achieved without as much as a fight (unlike in the era of Chanukah where they did need a [literal] war) but it shall be achieved in a fashion of פָּדָּה בְשָּלוֹם redemption in peace, also in the times of the 'Avodah of prayer and charity.
