TRADITIONAL JEWISH BELIEF REGARDING THE TRIBULATION - ITS SORTA LIKE THE MESSIAH’S
According to the traditional Jewish belief as found in the Talmud and other early Jewish literature, the coming of the Messiah will be preceded by a time of great suffering and tribulation. This period is commonly referred to as the "pangs of the Messiah."
The various evils predicted to take place during this time include famines, wars, earthquakes and moral deterioration.
One tradition holds that this period will last for seven years. Later texts, however, suggest that it will last for 45 days.
According to some rabbinic authorities, a person could escape this period of distress through study of the Torah (the Pentateuch) and through deeds of charity.
It is also stated that when Gog and Magog, the final great enemies of Israel, arise (see Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39), a foe called Armilus will also arise. Then the Messiah Himself will appear, and He will vanquish these enemies and usher in a final time of peace.

The old testament revealed the coming of Christ Jesus. The new testament forfilled the coming of Christ Jesus.The messiah has come and has offered eternal salvation to whom so ever will.
