'''Yemos HaMoshiach''' ('''The Days of Moshiach''') is a general term for the period when a king from the House of David will come, redeem the Jewish people and the entire world, build the Beis HaMikdash in Yerushalayim, gather all Jews to Eretz Yisroel, and restore the kingdom of David. The savior is called Melech HaMoshiach (King Messiah) based on the custom of anointing kings with the anointing oil. In the sources, additional events are mentioned that will occur during Yemos HaMoshiach, such as the announcement of redemption by Eliyahu HaNavi, the war of Gog and Magog, and Techiyas HaMeisim (resurrection of the dead). Some will occur before the coming of Moshiach, some after or during his coming, but it is not clear exactly when and how this will happen. | '''Yemos HaMoshiach''' ('''The Days of Moshiach''') is a general term for the period when a king from the House of David will come, redeem the Jewish people and the entire world, build the Beis HaMikdash in Yerushalayim, gather all Jews to Eretz Yisroel, and restore the kingdom of David.

Yemos HaMoshiach is the time of the future redemption that will come through the redeemer called "Moshiach." During this time, the exile will end and the subjugation of Israel will be abolished, and the kingdom of the House of David will be restored to its former glory, and the Beis HaMikdash will be built. In halacha, Yemos HaMoshiach is mentioned regarding the time when the fulfillment of mitzvos will be complete, because all the laws that only apply when the Beis HaMikdash exists, or when all inhabitants of Eretz Yisroel are in it, and were suspended during the exile, will return to practice (and some will have their laws changed, through special teachings). | Yemos HaMoshiach is the time of the future redemption that will come through the redeemer called "Moshiach."
