The coming messianic age starting hebrew year 7000
According to classical Jewish sources, the Hebrew year 7000
(from sunset of 29 September 3239 until nightfall of 16 September 3240
on the Gregorian calendar) marks the latest time for the initiation of
the Messianic Age.
Midrash, and the Kabbalistic work, the Zohar, state that the 'deadline' by which the Messiah must appear is 7,000 years from creation. According to tradition, the Hebrew calendar started at the time of Creation, placed at 3761 BC. The current (2018/2019) Hebrew year is 5779. According to Rabbi Eleazar Rambam, it will take further 1200 years for G-d's chosen people to establish the third temple.
