THE MESSIAH WILL COME AFTER 4,000 YEARS SINCE ADAM

Talmud: Sanhedrin 97a / b

The Tanna debe Eliyyahu teaches: The world is to exist six thousand years. In the first two thousand there was desolation; two thousand years the Torah flourished; and the next two thousand years is the Messianic era [Messiah will come within that period] but through our many iniquities all these years have been lost. [Messiah should have come at the beginning of the last 2,000 years. The delay is due to our sins.]
