The Messiah will come in the year of the Shemitah (Sabbatical year), and the wars of Gog and Magog will precede him.
Elijah will not only announce the Messiah but will also explain the mysteries of the years and the cycles, for all things have their appointed time.
If Israel merits it, the Messiah will come early. If not, he will come at the last possible moment, as ordained by God’s calendar
The year 6,000 is the end of the current world, and the beginning of the World to Come. Until then, the footsteps of the Messiah will grow louder.
