Is it a guarantee that Mashiach will come by year 6000? If Mashiach doesn’t come by year 6000 does it mean Judaism is not true?

No, it's not. It's just one theory.
And the gemara has very sharp things to say about people whom theorise about the time before Bereishit and about the time of moshiach. So I wouldn't base my Judaism on either. Focus on the present, and do the best you can here and now - THAT is Judaism.

We believe moshiach is on it's way and WIll be very soon. Not think "what if"? Hashem is the one who has his plans if need be. We need to do whatever we've got to do , speed up gaula, and not worry any further.

It's a daas yachid. A single opinion in the Gemara. And an extremely dangerous thing to be publicising IMHO, exactly because of the question that you ask. And R Shimon Schwab has a whole paper on how our counting of the years IS actually wrong and we are something like 165 years into the future (I don't remember the exact number).

So we are actually 165 years past the 6000 years ?

What I believe is, that after 6000 will be L'usid Lovo. Every 1000 years is like a day, so before 6000 is friday, and then will be the yom shekulo shabbos. Mashiach will hopefully come very very soon.
I feel like the tragedies that are happening are the chavlei mashiach.

Why?
Isn't that the way the meforshim explain
B'Ito Achishena?

I think Rav Schwab was not a fan of the 6,000 deadline. Not at all.

By year 6000 Moshiach will have had to come already. The question is how he will come with our merit or not. That will also reflect how milchamos gog umgog will be. Will Moshiach come easily or with strife?
The Jews in Mitzrayim were in מט share tumah, they anyway got freed for otherwise they would just drop even lower.

As I said above, this is a daas yachid in the Gemara.

Exactly. And there are very strong injunctions in the gemara not to try to calculate a date, because when we're done with our silly calculations and the date passes with no Moshiach, then people may throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Nothing will happen.
Why do people care about predictions for the far future? Judaism was always about ethical behavior in this world, and basta.
