Do the Jews believe in a savior who will emerge at the End of Time?

In the Torah and the Gospel, there are some glad tidings about the emergence of a promised universal reformer who will appear at the End of Time. In following we refer to some of them:

In Psalms:

In more than 35 places of 150chapters of Psalms we can see glad tidings about the Promised Savior:

Psalms, 37:9, “For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

Psalms, 37:17, “For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.”

Psalms, 37:18, “The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever.”

Psalms, 37:38 “But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.[1]

In Isaiah:

In some parts of this book, God promises His servants that it won't last too much for justice to be implemented in the earth and that afterwards, peacefulness will last there forever:

Isaiah, 56:1, “Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

Isaiah, 32:17, “And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.

Isaiah, 32:16, “And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

In Zechariah:

Zechariah, 14: 9, “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

In Daniel:

Daniel, 12: 1, “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation  even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Daniel, 12: 2, “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame  and everlasting contempt.[2]

Daniel, 12: 3, “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Daniel, 12: 4, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,  even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

Daniel, 12: 12, “Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

In Habakkuk:

Habakkuk, 2: 2, “For the vision  is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuk, 2: 5, “… but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people.
