The belief in the coming of Melech HaMashiach is a fundamental belief in Torah; many prophecies were spoken about him.

The Rambam in his rulings describes the manner of Moshiach's revelation and his identification by the people. According to his description, there will be two stages in his appearance: Initially, there will be preliminary signs of his kingship, his compatibility with the basic requirements needed from him at this stage makes him "presumed to be Moshiach." However, in this state he is not yet 'Moshiach' because these actions are actions of all kings of Israel. Only afterward, with the completion of Moshiach's tasks, will it become clear that he is "definitely Moshiach" who has redeemed Israel. | The Rambam in his rulings describes the manner of Moshiach's revelation and his identification by the people.
