Chazak! Messiah Yeshua

"The Tanna debe Eliyyahu taught, "The world is to exist six thousand years; the first two thousand years are to be void. The next two thousand years are the period of the Torah, and the following two thousand years are the period of the Messiah. Through our many sins a number of these days have already passed, [and the Messiah is not yet.]"
Avodah Zarah 9a, Babylonian Talmud, Soncino Edition
