The Hebrew year 6000 marks according to classical Rabbinical Jewish sources, the latest time for the initiation of the Messianic Age. The Talmud, Midrash, Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer, and Zohar specify that the date by which the Messiah will appear is 6,000 years from creation.
According to tradition, the Anno Mundi calendar started at the time of creation, placed at 3761 BCE. The current (2024/2025) Hebrew year is 5785. By this calculation, the start of the 6000th year would occur at nightfall of 29 September 2239 and the end would occur at nightfall of 16 September 2240 on the Gregorian calendar.
