The Messianic age is characterized by universal peace, the elimination of evil and confusion, and a world governed not by human institutions but by divine truth and inner freedom — is deeply rooted in classical Jewish sources, especially in Tanakh, Talmud, Midrash, Kabbalah, and Chasidus. Let's look at supporting sources from each:

---

1. Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)

Isaiah 11:6–9
וְגָר זְאֵב עִם כֶּבֶשׂ... לֹא יָרֵעוּ וְלֹא יַשְׁחִיתוּ בְּכָל הַר קָדְשִׁי

> “The wolf shall dwell with the lamb... They shall neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.”

Isaiah 2:4
וְכִתְּתוּ חַרְבוֹתָם לְאִתִּים... לֹא יִשָּׂא גּוֹי אֶל גּוֹי חֶרֶב

> “They shall beat their swords into plowshares... nation shall not lift up sword against nation.”

Zechariah 14:9
וְהָיָה יְהוָה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ

> “And the LORD will be King over all the earth; on that day the LORD will be One and His Name One.”

2. Talmudic Sources

Sanhedrin 98a–99a – Signs and roles of the Messiah:

> "Great is peace, for all the blessings and prophecies culminate in peace.”

Shabbat 63a – About swords turning into tools:

> "In the future, weapons will be repurposed for constructive uses, as it is said: ‘They shall beat their swords into plowshares.’"

Avodah Zarah 24a

> “In the future, the Holy One will remove the evil inclination from the hearts of humanity.”

3. Midrashic Sources

Midrash Tehillim (Psalm 85:11)
חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת נִפְגָּשׁוּ

> “Kindness and truth will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss.”
This midrash speaks of the world in complete moral alignment, where evil has been transcended.

Midrash Rabbah (Devarim 2:4)

> “In the Messianic age, all rulership will return to Heaven alone.”

---

4. Maimonides (Rambam)

Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Melachim 12:5

> “In that era there will be neither famine nor war, neither envy nor competition... The occupation of the entire world will be solely to know G‑d.”

He adds:

> “There will no longer be a government of oppression. The knowledge of God will flow like water.”

---

5. Kabbalah and Chasidus

Zohar I:117a

> “In the days of the Messiah, the world will be filled with the light of wisdom... and the Sitra Achra (evil side) will be nullified.”

Tanya (Igeret HaKodesh 26)

> “When Mashiach comes, all concealments will be removed, and the inner Divine will be revealed in the physical world.”

Likutei Torah, Tzav

> “The final redemption is the soul's return to its Source, free from external coercion — a state of ultimate spiritual liberty.”
