Biblical texts and prophecies describe several events preceding the arrival of the Mashiach, including a climactic war and the appearance of a new star. It is believed that Eliyahu HaNavi will announce the Mashiach's arrival. While some believe Mashiach can come at any time, others suggest more evils must occur first.
Resolved YES if a figure widely identified as Mashiach is announced by a major, globally recognized religious authority (e.g., the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, Chabad-Lubavitch leadership) or if Eliyahu HaNavi is widely reported by major news outlets (e.g., AP, Reuters, BBC) to have announced the Mashiach's arrival by the resolution date. Resolved NO otherwise.
