My understanding of Mashi'ach related to this question:
- According to one of Maimonides's principles, we are to expect it to come at any time
- The Temple will be rebuilt and sacrifices will be offered, there as before.
Thus, we would assume that there will be Cohanim and Levi'im ready to offer these sacrifices. They should be prepared and knowledgeable regarding how to do this - at least a few should so that they could teach the other ignorant.
While everyone should study these laws as they are part of the Torah, I wonder if there is a special obligation for Cohanim and Levi'im to prioritize and emphasize their studying of these laws more than their studying other Torah laws? These groups of people have to be ready to perform their duties, so, perhaps, they should master their knowledge in this subject prior to mastering other subjects?
