There were Rabbis during World War 2 who said that after 10 Shemitah cycles Moshiach would come. With the war ending in 5705, 1945, the 10 cycles or 70 years brought us to 5775, which was totally consistent with Moshiach being introduced in 5776 after the last Shemitah cycle…
He concludes: It even makes more sense to talk about ten 7 year cycles or 70 years, not after WW2 but the establishment of the State of Israel. 5708 to 5778 is much more believable.
Rav Eliyahu Kramer says that there are 70 words in chapter 20 of Tehillim corresponding to the 70 years of the suffering the Jews will experience before Moshiach reveals himself.
Rabbi Yisroel Moshe Sorotzkin writes: After Chevlei Mashiach, there will be the time of the actual Leidas HaMashiach, the moment of Mashiach’s birth. It would seem from the Zohar that this can take up to another two years. The Zohar and the Gaon say that this is actually the basis for the opinion that Chevlei Mashiach will take seventy-two years and not seventy… (The End Illuminated, page 182).
Menachem Robinson z”l pointed out that 5708 to 5778 is 70 years.
5779 = 71st year
5780 = 72nd year
5781 appears to be the year in which we will witness that actual “birth” or revelation of Mashiach!
The Medrash gives a vivid description of how Klal Yisrael and the world around us, will look in the last year before Moshiach:
In the last year before, there will be terrible suffering, harsh decrees… many diseases… there will be no peace to “the one who goes out and the one who comes in” and the men of faith, will pass away… Klal Yisrael, in that generation, will say, “Is it possible that we are seeing the world functioning as it always has, and yet the Geulah will come this year?” But they do not know that Mashiach will come suddenly! (The End Illuminated by Rabbi Yisroel Moshe Sorotzkin page 28)
Why does the pasuk in Malachi say פִתְאֹם יָבוֹא אֶל־הֵיכָלוֹ - that Mashiach “will come SUDDENLY to his palace”? Klal Yisrael, in that generation, will say, "Is it possible that we are seeing the world functioning as it always has, and yet the Geulah will come this year?” But they do not know that Mashiach will come suddenly (ibid. page 29).
On October 23, 2017, Menachem Robinson z”l, wrote an article entitled Exciting Discoveries about Geula and Moshiach in which he states the following:
