Javan 58, what's the message?
"Know that through the Torah, all prayers and requests that we request and pray are accepted, and the GRACE and importance of Jews are elevated and raised up in front of all those who are in need of spiritual or physical matters. For these days with our many sins, the GRACE and true importance of Jews fell, as now the main importance and GRACE can be found with non-Jews. However, through Torah, the GRACE and importance of Jews are elevated, for the Torah is called "a beloved hind inspiring GRACE" (Proverbs 5:19), which elevates GRACE on those who learn the Torah (Talmud Eruvin 54b). Through this, all the prayers and requests are accepted." (Likutei Moharan 1:1)

"Noah found grace in the eyes of Hashem" (Genesis 6:8)
Joseph found grace in the eyes of his Egyptian master following being sold as a slave thanks to his jealous brothers, and was trusted to be appointed over his master's affairs.
Parshat Bo: the Jews found favor in the eyes of the Egyptians when the Jews requested goodies from them, and received twice the amount of what they asked for (see Rashi on this).
A beloved hind INSPIRING GRACE" (Proverbs 5:19) ＝Torah elevates others who study it, helping them to have grace in Hashem's eyes.

(chen) is doubled, thus connecting these verses,
מִי־אַתָּה הַר־הַגָּדֹול לִפְנֵי זְרֻבָּבֶל לְמִישֹׁר וְהֹוצִיא אֶת־הָאֶבֶן הָרֹאשָׁה תְּשֻׁאֹות חֵן חֵן לָהּ׃ וַיְהִי דְבַר־יי אֵלַי לֵאמֹר
"Who are you, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? You shall become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shouts of Grace, grace, unto it.'
Zechariah 4:7
Zechariah 4:7
According to Midrash Tanchuma, this passage is a Messianic prophecy,
"What does it mean, "Who are you O great mountain?" This is King Messiah. And why does he call him great mountain? Because he is greater than the Fathers…loftier than Abraham…more elevated than Moses…and higher than the ministering angels…and from whom will he issue? From Zerubbabel…"

The Sages noted that Yefeth was the ancestor of ancient Greece. As such, Yefeth's blessing relates to the special accomplishments of the Greeks, especially in the realm of the arts and aesthetics (the name 'Yefeth' is related to the Hebrew word yofi, meaning 'beauty'). As the Talmud states in Megillah 9b: "May the beauty of Yefeth reside in the tents of Shem."
"Cursed be the one who teaches his son Greek wisdom" (Baba Kama 82b).

Even for the construction of the holy Temple, we find that King Solomon turned to Hiram, the king of Tyre, for his workers' expertise in cutting down and preparing the wood, "for we have none among us who knows how to hew timber like the Zidonians" (I Kings 5:20). Solomon used artisans from other nations to chop the wood and quarry the large stones for the Temple. But after these external preparations, it was the Jewish people who secured the Sanctuary's inner holiness.
