Isaiah 57.16-ישעיהו 

Yebamot 63.b- יבמות

 Arrival of Mashiach

Rabbi Assi stated: The Son of David [Mashiach] will not arrive until all the souls that are in the “Guf” [body] are disposed of(i.e., until all the souls from the Heavenly Treasury have been born on Earth) since it is said, ‘For the ruach/spirit that is before Me will be detained [only until] the neshamot/souls I have made [will be incarnated in bodies]” (Isaiah 57:16).

אָמַר רַבִּי אָסִי, אֵין בֶּן דָּוִד בָּא עַד שֶׁיִּכְלוּ כָּל הַנְּשָׁמוֹת שֶׁבַּגּוּף, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ישעיה נז) "כִּי רוּחַ מִלְּפָנַי יַעֲטוֹף וּנְשָׁמוֹת אֲנִי עָשִׂיתִי"

The verse in Isaiah 57.6 is encrypted as follows:

6.’ For I [G-d] will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry as the ruach [of theMashiach] which is before Me will be detained Until all theneshamot/souls I have made have been incarnated

-כִּי לֹא לְעוֹלָם אָרִיב וְלֹא לָנֶצַח אֶקְצוֹף כִּי רוּחַ מִלְּפָנַי יַעֲטוֹף וּנְשָׁמוֹת אֲנִי עָשִׂיתִי
