Jews have been under duress many times throughout the centuries and the hope has always been to be delivered from these horrific situations by the Moshiach/Messiah. The name messiah or in Hebrew, Moshiach, has gone through a transition in itself, from being just the annointed one such as a king who has received Divine sanction or a High Priest. In post-exilic times such as the Babylonian Exile when Nebuchadnezzar carried away the Tribe of Judah majority population to Babylon in 597-586 BCE and they were kept there for 70 years, the word Messiah came to mean anyone with a special mission from G-d, like the patriarchs, prophets, the Jewish people, even someone such as King Cyrus the Mede of Persia who sent the Babylonian Jews back to Jerusalem.
After the exile there was a prophetic vision of the universal establishment of G-d's kingdom associated with the ingathering of Israel under a scion of King David's house who would be the Messiah. While Rome occupied Jerusalem 100 years before Romans burned down the Temple and Jerusalem, the hope of the Messiah was very strong.
He was expected to be a descendant of King David who would break the alien yoke and establish a Golden Age. King David ruled from 1010 to 970 BCE. He was a descendant of the kinsmen of Naomi and Boaz of the tribe of Judah. This probably means a direct descendant, and David had at least 9 wives; perhaps more, but not as many as Solomon had for he had a 1,000. RASHI, the biblical commentator, was a direct descendant. RASHI (Rabbi Solomon Yitzhak-ben Isaac) was born in 1040 in France, and many Jews of today are his descendants. I have him on my own tree due to DNA findings.
1 kinsman of Naomi Boaz b: in Bethlehem
.. +RUTH of Royalty b: in Moab d: in Bethlehem
. 2 Oved Obed Judah b: in 11th century BCE
..... 3 father of David; Jesse b: in Bethlehem
......... +Ithra's Daughter d: in father J1-Arab line
......... 4 Zeruiah
......... 4 [1] King of Israel David b: 1030 in 1000 BCE Bethlehem d: in 960 BCE
............. +Bathsheba b: in Giloh, Judah
......... *2nd Wife of [1] King of Israel David:
David's son was King Solomon. After he died the kingdom split into two parts, the North, which was taken by Assyrians in 721 BCE, and the South, which were the tribes of Judah and parts of Benjamin. Solomon's descendants ruled from the House of David with his son, Rehoboam to Zedekiah when Judah fell and many were taken to Babylon.
This is the Age of DNA. Many Jews carry the DNA Y haplotype of the Cohen line.
Cohens were the direct descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses, who was a Levite. A descendant of Aaron might have the surname of Cohen or perhaps not. They will have the DNA tag of being a J-M267 or something very close to this.
The Book of Samuel describes God's repudiation of a monarchic line arising from the northern Tribe of Benjamin due to the sinfulness of King Saul, which was then bestowed onto the Tribe of Judah for all time in the person of King David. So David was from the tribe of Judah, the one most remaining today, for Jews are from Judah. The Moshiach will be a Jew with the male haplotype of J-M267. This is my deduction, not a prophecy. I might add that some of us Jews do have different haplotypes, but mostly run in the E, R1, G, I, J1, lines.
There was a widespread Jewish Revolt going on from 115 to 117 CE and the Messiah was wanted then. During the last revolt against the Romans after the end in 70 CE, appeared Aluf (General) Bar Kokhba (Simeon Bar Kosiba) nephew of Rabbi Eleazar of Modiin and reputedly of Davidic descent, who fought against the Romans in order to re-take Jerusalem and did in 132. He held it for 3 years, a miracle in those days against the strongest army of the world, but was killed in battle. Everyone thought he was the Moshiach.
Since then there have been many appearing at bad times thought to be the Moshiach.
Maimonides (Moses Ben Maimon or RAMBAM) wrote a letter to the Yemenites in 1172 describing the messianic doctrine and included this in his 13 articles of faith for Judaism so we are to have this faith. He was a philosopher, halakhist and medical writer who died in 1204 who had left Spain for Palestine. It was he who established our 613 rules or precepts from the Torah.
If he succeeded and built the Holy Temple in its proper place and gathered the dispersed ones of Israel together, this is indeed the anointed one for certain, and he will mend the entire world to worship the Lord together, as it is stated: "For then I shall turn for the nations a clear tongue, so that they will all proclaim the Name of the Lord, and to worship Him with a united resolve (Zephaniah 3:9)."
Building the 3rd Temple is something that remains to be done. When I
made aliyah in 1980, I met my 3rd cousin, Stanley Goldfoot, who was involved
in doing this. He belonged to a Temple group who had blueprints for the Temple,
and I learned that others were working on all the aspects needed to be done.
This is a hot potato issue. I highly doubt if they will build on the Temple Mount
where Muslims have built over the spot where the 2nd Temple had stood. The
Temple Mount is policed by our next-door neighbor, Jordan. A war would break
out if Israel did. Is the Temple group planning on building and having if finished
by 2021?
The last Messiah heard from was in 1889 when a pseudo-messiah declared himself in Yemen.
Through use of a Bible Code, a rabbi has discovered 2021 to be the year that the Moshiach will appear from his interpretation. This is the Age of the Ingathering of Jews from all corners of the world to Israel, and that Israel has been re-born. It is the Age of DNA as well. It's also an age when Israel faces extinction, having a bottleneck of survivors from the Holocaust and now facing extinction from Iran's threats. Muslims do live by a code of honor of needing to warn a country before they attack it. They have warned. It is the Age of Atomic weaponry with the Atomic bomb and Hydrogen bomb. It is normal for Jews to hold in their hearts the hope of the appearance of the Moshiach to bring peace to this planet and change people's hard hearts to contented ones, but without the use of drugs.

made aliyah in 1980, I met my 3rd cousin, Stanley Goldfoot, who was involved

Even though the eventual coming of the messiah is a strongly upheld belief in Judaism, trying to predict the actual time when the messiah will come is an act that is frowned upon. These kinds of actions are thought to weaken the faith the people have in the religion. So in Judaism, there is no specific time when the messiah comes. Rather, it is the acts of the people that determines when the messiah comes. It is said that the messiah would come either when the world needs his coming the most (when the world is so sinful and in desperate need of saving by the messiah) or deserves it the most (when genuine goodness prevails in the world).
This belief was upheld until our age of computers. and of creating
Rips created a Bible Code for the computer by
feeding the Torah into a computer.
A common modern rabbinic interpretation is that there is a potential messiah in every generation. The Talmud, which often uses stories to make a moral point (aggadah), tells of a highly respected rabbi who found the Messiah at the gates of Rome and asked him, "When will you finally come?" He was quite surprised when he was told, "Today." Overjoyed and full of anticipation, the man waited all day. The next day he returned, disappointed and puzzled, and asked, "You said messiah would come 'today' but he didn't come! What happened?" The Messiah replied, "Scripture says, 'Today, if you will but hearken to his voice.'"
A Kabbalistic tradition within Judaism is that the commonly discussed messiah who will usher in a period of freedom and peace, Messiah ben David, will be preceded by Messiah ben Joseph, who will gather the children of Israel around him, lead them to Jerusalem. After overcoming the hostile powers in Jerusalem, Messiah ben Joseph, will reestablish the Temple-worship and set up his own dominion. Then Armilus, according to one group of sources, or Gog and Magog, according to the other, will appear with their hosts before Jerusalem, wage war against Messiah ben Joseph, and slay him. His corpse, according to one group, will lie unburied in the streets of Jerusalem; according to the other, it will be hidden by the angels with the bodies of the Patriarchs, until Messiah ben David comes and brings him back to life.
Kabbala was an avenue in Judaism from the 1600s, found in Safed,
Palestine.Little did they realize how prophetic this would be about hostile powers in Jerusalem, or
expecting Temple worship to be re-established.
The last Messiah heard from was in 1889 when a pseudo-messiah declared himself in Yemen.
Through use of a Bible Code, a rabbi has discovered 2021 to be the year that the Moshiach will appear from his interpretation. This is the Age of the Ingathering of Jews from all corners of the world to Israel, and that Israel has been re-born. It is the Age of DNA as well. It's also an age when Israel faces extinction, having a bottleneck of survivors from the Holocaust and now facing extinction from Iran's threats. Muslims do live by a code of honor of needing to warn a country before they attack it. They have warned. It is the Age of Atomic weaponry with the Atomic bomb and Hydrogen bomb. It is normal for Jews to hold in their hearts the hope of the appearance of the Moshiach to bring peace to this planet and change people's hard hearts to contented ones, but without the use of drugs.
