Some serious preparations have been taking place for the coming of Messiah. The article below shows just how serious some people take this, though the majority of people in this world may think it is fantasy.
Interesting that people in the know (see article below) can see evidence around us pointing to the prophecies in the Book.

Jews raise millions to be ready for coming of the Messiah

JERUSALEM: Yehuda Glick is a 44-year-old American-born Jew who spends most of every day preparing for the arrival of the Messiah in Jerusalem.
Since he became the executive director of the Temple Institute, Mr Glick's main task has been to supervise the manufacture of the utensils the high priests will need when the day arrives.
Crowns and other instruments made of solid gold fill glass cases in the Temple Institute museum in Jerusalem's Old City.
Other artefacts include an array of copper urns, trumpets made of silver and garments to be worn by the High Priest, woven from golden thread.
Musical instruments, including hand-made harps and lyres, lie ready to be brought to life upon the Messiah's appearance.
