Elijah the prophet said to Rav Yehuda, brother of Rav Sala Ḥasida: The world will exist no fewer than eighty-five Jubilee cycles, or 4,250 years. And during the final Jubilee, the son of David will come. Rav Yehuda said to Elijah: Will the Messiah come during the beginning of the Jubilee or during its end? Elijah said to Rav Yehuda: I do not know. Rav Yehuda asked: Will this last Jubilee cycle end before the Messiah comes or will it not yet end before his coming? Elijah said to him: I do not know. Rav Ashi says: This is what Elijah said to him: Until that time do not anticipate his coming; from this point forward anticipate his coming. Elijah did not inform Rav Yehuda of the date of the coming of the Messiah.

-Sanhedrin.97b.2
  • I am praying on behalf of them. I am not praying on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.
  • On that day Messiah’s feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west forming a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and the other half toward the south. And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him!
  • If Israel repents for even a single day, the Son of David (Messiah) will come immediately. If they do not repent, the redemption will come in its appointed time.
  • The seventh millennium will be a time of peace and renewal, as it is written: ‘And on the seventh day, God rested and was refreshed’ (Exodus 31:17). So, too, the world will rest in the seventh millennium.
  • Elijah will not come until the generation is entirely guilty or entirely righteous.
  • In the time of the Messiah, there will be no difference between this world and the next except for the burdens of exile. All other things will align with God’s appointed times.
