Editing Yemos Hamoshiach (section)

== Definition of the Time and Its Source ==
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 [[Mitzvah|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).

The prophecy about this time is written in the Torah regarding the redemption of Israel and the ingathering of the dispersed of Israel:<blockquote>"And Hashem your G-d will return your captivity and have mercy on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples, where Hashem your G-d has scattered you. If your outcasts be at the ends of the heavens, from there will Hashem your G-d gather you, and from there will He take you. And Hashem your G-d will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers." — [[Devarim]] 30:3-5</blockquote>Also regarding the return of kingship, the [[prophecy]] is found in the Torah in the prophecy of [[Moshe Rabbeinu]]. In Parshas Balaam, he prophesied that in the future a king will arise who will lead the Jewish people and rule over all nations:<blockquote>"I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh; there shall step forth a [[star]] out of Yaakov, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moav, and break down all the sons of Shes. And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession of his enemies; while Israel does valiantly." — [[Bamidbar]] 24:17-18</blockquote>Although Yemos HaMoshiach themselves are not Techiyas HaMeisim. Sometimes in the Torah Yemos HaMoshiach are mentioned together with Techiyas HaMeisim, thus they interpreted the verse: "And the Tirshasa said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a [[kohen]] with [[Urim and Tummim]]," "which is like a person saying to his friend until the dead are resurrected and [[Moshiach ben David]] comes." Similarly, Yemos HaMoshiach are sometimes referred to as "[[Olam Haba - The World to Come|Olam Haba]]" (the World to Come), or are mentioned in contrast to [[Olam Hazeh]] (this world), or in contrast to Olam Haba. Sometimes Yemos HaMoshiach are called by the term "L'asid Lavo" (in the future to come), and sometimes this title is said about the time after Yemos HaMoshiach.
