Various sources in Jewish texts, tradition, belief, and practice about the imminent coming of Moshiach (speedily in our days!)

Amen!

didn’t he have something to do with the book of Esther?

[Ezekiel]

>>>Why is the coming of Moshiach so central to the Jewish belief system?

Because the Torah teaches us that there is purpose to our world. And the Messianic Era is the actualization of that idea.

There are those who maintain that this crass physical world is merely a strategic challenge; one that the soul must battle and transcend en route to a heavenly paradise. According to this line of thinking, the physical and mundane has no intrinsic worth, it retains no value whatsoever once its function has been fully served—it is a means to a spiritual end.

While Jewish belief also speaks of the soul's reward in the hereafter, earned through its toil in the course of life's journey, it sees the refinement of the physical and the infusion of holiness and purpose into the mundane as the paramount objective. It is the sanctification of the human body and the world at large that constitutes the very purpose of its creation.<<<

Good luck. Prepare to be inundated with Judaeo-chrstian “Hebrew restorationists.”
