What does the Rambam write about the era of Moshiach?
The Rambam writes that in the era of Moshiach, the Messianic king will rebuild the Temple, gather the dispersed of Israel, and restore the observance of all Torah statutes, including sacrifices and Sabbatical and Jubilee years [2]. He also states that the world's nature will not change, and prophecies like "the wolf will dwell with the lamb" are metaphors for a continued world order [1]. The Rambam's writings on Moshiach are found in his Mishneh Torah, particularly in the Laws of Kings [4, 5].
