Tanakh says that nobody can tell when Moshiach is coming because “For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it..” (Isaiah 48:11); “I wrought for My Name’s sake that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations.” (Ezekiel 20:9). So the date is predetermined, but nobody knows exactly when. However---“in its time I will hasten it”: “in its time” means a set date; “I will hasten it” means that it may occur earlier, before “its time.” The contradiction is resolved as follows: “If they are worthy — ‘I will hasten it;’ if not — ‘in its time.’ (Isaiah 60:22)

SO there ARE ways we can speed it up!

Inner Awareness: Be prepared. Think about Moshiach. Become aware of the feelings and emotions which accompany the advent of such an extraordinary time.

Anticipation: Actively waiting for the Geulah hastens its arrival and, although Moshiach may tarry, this merely serves to intensify our longing for him. We know and believe that his arrival is imminent. As such, we should permeate our lives with expectation and hope.

Study about Moshiach: Study topics relating to the Geulah. As we stand on the threshold of a new era we should study the parts of Torah which discuss this theme, and become knowledgeable in all there is to know about this subject. The greatest fear is fear of the unknown. Learning about Moshiach will help us conquer our fears, and will make us feel comfortable with the idea of Moshiach.

Good Deeds: One good deed may tip the scales and bring merit to the entire world. We must increase in performing good deeds, both toward our fellow man and toward G-d, while specifically intending to hasten the Redemption. Every time we assist a needy person, every charitable act, every effort in studying the Torah and fulfilling its precepts - all these actions hasten the Geulah.

Beseeching G-d: When our ancestors cried out to G-d and implored for deliverance, they were redeemed from Egypt. We, too, must entreat and pray to G-d, asking Him to speedily send us Moshiach and usher in the Geulah for every day in Exile is a wasted opportunity.

Unity: Notwithstanding the idyllic ritual observance in the days of the Second Temple, dissension, gratuitous hatred and divisiveness, caused the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash and the present Galut. Rectification of this condition will bring about the restoration of the Beit Hamikdash and the Messianic Redemption.

Peace, and good question.

it somewhat is interior the start of his ministry. people have been already swarming him attempting to get miracles out of him. And undergo in suggestions that the Jews at that factor believed that the Messiah replaced into going to be a effective chief who might overthrow the Roman government. That wasn't everywhere close to what he replaced into there for, and he did not choose to be mobbed by potential of persons who in simple terms needed him to do tricks and save on their time table...it somewhat is why he replaced into continuously going off from the gang. Then later, close to his demise, he enable this is primary who he replaced into. right away up words seen blasphemous, loopy miracles like rasing people from the lifeless, making use of out the crooks who have been attempting to make a dollar on undesirable people interior the temple, conversing back to the non secular leaders, letting the folk freak out whilst he got here into Jerusalem in Messianic form...etc.

When Elijah drinks his cup at Pesach, the Meshiach will not be far behind.

He's not coming. We Jews have to learn to make the best of the situation where we find ourselves, and do our best to be a positive force in the world. We've been given the talent to do it, so why do we look for help from the Messiah?

WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims.

We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no god and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.

There are some Christians who believe that the Second Coming already happened - particularly in 70 A.D. when the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. Not a direct answer, but then again, who can say? :)

nobody knows except God.

Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Messiah was here already. Read all the prophecy He fulfilled. Only God knows when He is coming back. We need to be ready.
