Interpretation and reception
Commentary on the Mishnah: Introduction to Helek
Moses Maimonides
Separates messianic political restoration from ultimate world-to-come, reads ready-made bread imagery figuratively, predicts Messiah's death and descendants, and forbids fixing dates. Requires Davidic/Solomonic dynasty and rejects Torah abrogation.
