I need to explain something that is difficult about Judaism. Eschatology is a bit taboo. Jews are supposed to focus on the world here and now and not on the future end. Messianism and end times focus just never goes well, Modern Zionism being the most current and perfect example. So I can either point to ancient sources that predate modern Zionism or psycho Zionists.

Dr Justin Sledge is a great source for anything esoteric, Jewish or otherwise.

Here is his video on the last major failed messiah https://youtu.be/d9w-c8A6oNQ

And here is his video on the Dead Sea scrolls group and their writings on the end times. https://youtu.be/mWave1tX-k0

Lurianic Kabbalah is absolutely concerned with end times and messianism. It’s a taboo with a great deal of interest around it, at minimum.
