[Avodah] mashiach/hesech hadaas

[Ben Waxman]

Well, in an indirect way maybe. The Rambam writes that dealing too much with 
the Mosiach doesn't bring anyone to yirat shamayim. If that is the case than 
the lessening of yirat shamayim would push things back. I don't know if this 
has anything to do with keter.
