In this lengthy article called "The Secret of the Vav in Hashem's Name" posted by Dov Bar-Leib at this Kabbalist website athttp://www.yiddishkeit.org/PageLaunch.asp?ItemCode=814 it is interesting to note that they expect their messiah (mashiach) anywhere between Passover (Pesach) 5765 (2005) and Passover 5767 (2007).  Please keep in mind that Kabbalism is a false religion because they believe in reincarnation, and Hebrews 9:27 tells us, "And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement."  However, while the Christians are watching the signs of the end times and waiting for the rapture and to meet the real Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the air, at the same time that the Kabbalists are awaiting a false messiah in Israel.  Below is an excerpt from the article that states the following:
 
  "Well the next verses in the Zohar comfims our suspicions about when Mashiach comes. In the year 66 (5766) Mashiach will appear in the land of the Galil (near Tzfat according to other sources). This verse also indicates that he can come any time during the year from Pesach 5765, which is 5766 if Rosh Chodesh Nissan were Rosh Hashana, until Pesach 5766 or maybe even until Rosh Hashana 5767. The Zohar is unclear about whether he becomes the anointed king in that year. It could be that it is Mashiach ben Yosef who becomes king this year while Mashiach ben David makes his appearance in the Galilee. A star in the east will swallow 7 stars in the north, (war between Persia and Edom or between North Korea and Edom? Edom prides itself as being a malchut (kingdom) of 7 industrial powers.) and a flame of black fire will hang in the Heaven for sixty days, and there shall be wars toward the north in which 2 kings shall perish. Which 2 out of 7 princes of Edom will perish is only a guess. For this we will need to wait until this battle happens. Then all the nations shall combine together against the daughter of Yakov in order to drive her from the world. I have a hunch that this is the battle described in Zechariah 12-14. I believe, according to the Gaon of Vilna, this year will be a Sabbatical year. In our present seven year Sukkot cycle that Sabbatical year is 5768. I am not sure when the battle in Yechezkel 38 and 39 takes place, potentially in the same year. It is of that time that it is written: "And it is a time of Trouble for Yakov, but out of it he shall be saved." (Jer. 30:7) The very next verse is: In the year 73 all the kings in the world will assemble in the great city of Rome, and the Holy One will shower on them fire and hail and meteoric stones until they are all destroyed, with the exception of those who will not yet have arrived there."
