Since it says in the Talmud that Moshiach has to come by the year 6000, so what happens to Judaism if Moshiach doesn't come by the year 6000.
The year 6000 view comes from the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 97a. The Talmud compares the messianic age to the Sabbath and note that a day to God is like a thousand years. So Sunday (0-1000), Monday (1000-2000), Tuesday (2000-3000), Wednesday (3000-4000), Thursday (4000-5000), Friday (5000-6000), and Shabbat (6000-7000).
It has been taught in accordance with R. Kattina: "Just as the seventh year is one year of release in seven, so is the world: one thousand years out of seven shall be fallow, as it is written, 'And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,' and it is further said, 'A Psalm and song for the Sabbath day,' (Ps. 92:1) meaning the day that is altogether Sabbath — and it is also said, 'For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past' (Ps. 90:4)." 2
