"R. Y'hoshu'a ben Levi once found Elijah standing at the entrance of the cave of R. Shim'on ben Yohai…He asked him: "When will the Messiah come?" He said to him: "Go, ask him himself" "And where does he sit? "At the entrance of the city [of Rome]" "And what are his marks?" "His marks are that he sits among the poor who suffer of diseases, and while all of them unwind and rewind[the bandages of all their wounds] at once, he unwinds and rewinds them one by one, for he says, `Should I be summoned, there must be no delay.'" R. Y'hoshu'a went to him and said to him; "Peace be unto you, my Master and Teacher!" He said to him: "Peace unto you, Son of Levi!" He said to him: when will the Master come?" He said to him: "Today." R. Y'hoshu'a went to Elijah, who asked him; "What did he tell you?" R.

Judaism teaches that God gave three special gifts to the Israelites in the wilderness. These three were 1) the Manna 2) Miriam's Well and 3) the "Clouds of Glory".These three are at the mystical Messianic understanding of the Beshallakh section of the Book of Shemot (Exodus). These three gifts are of Messianic significance.

The Manna is a sign of the Messianic Living Bread who in John 6 is revealed as the Messiah Jesus himself.
