How will we know when Moshiach has come (may it be speedily in our days)? Is it one single moment – he’s here and that’s it, or will stuff happen over a long period of time?
Will we know it automatically, or will we have to read it on the news? I think that the great shofar will be sounded, right? Who will sound it? Will the deaf and blind know as well? Once Moshiach comes, how do we get to Jerusalem?
when Moshiach is here, hashem will make sure that we are well aware of it. We will feel it in our bones. It’s part of ourselves.
Stay tuned, you might read it in the coffee room…
We are already witnessing Ikvei DeMoshiach (Moshiach’s footsteps). We are in golus Yishmael, the last golus…
The Gemara in Nazir entertains the possibilty of Moshiach having arrived and people aren’t yet aware. The Rambam writes that there are many and conflicting depictions of Moshiach’s arrival in Navi and Medrashim. We can’t tell until he comes, very soon.
The Mesora is that we will be notified beforehand. Also, since there is Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben David we will be aware by the time Moshiach ben David comes.
No one knows.
Don’t worry about it.
Have faith that when it comes, you’ll know just like everyone else.
Don’t worry! You’ll get an email!
It has always seemed to me that Moshiach must be alive right now as he must also be in every generation. How else could he come any day?
Haleivi,
I heard bsheim the talmidim of the gra that klal yisrael in eretz yisrael is moshicah ben yosef and lav davka does he (do they) have to die (I’m not going to go into arichus)
The part that he doesn’t have to die is famous. The Arizal says we should Daven for Mashiach ben Yosef not to die, in the Bracha of Vilirushalayim.
The Ramban describes Moshiach as being an activist speaking to different politicians, and many Yidden will be mocking him and saying that he just wants our money.
The Ramban writes (Milchamos Hashem siman 24) that nobody is born Moshiach. When Hashem decides that Moshiach should come, someone who is already living is chosen. That is, one cannot know who is Moshiach until the time of the Geulah. Even the one who is chosen does not know about it until that time.

just keep checking in on the YW. They will let you know.
Please don’t stalk Moshiach. He has to come Behesech Hadaas.
A big question is WHY do you want Moshiach?
