Am Yisrael: HaShem's Moshiach

So I have decided to quit sitting idly by as Moshiach draws near and hopefully influence others by way of the Internet. I know there are plenty of great End of Days blogs out there already, yet I feel the need to lend my own voice to the crowd. My first thought or set of thoughts are:

Moshicah means the anointed, yet that is just what Am Yisrael is, we are HaShem's anointed and for this reason it is really Am Yisrael that is the Moshiach. We are conduits for the divine will and yet we are asleep as if in a great trance awaiting the moment when we can be told---Wake Up! And that is exactly what Moshiach will do:

"Melech HaMoshiach will stand on the roof of the Beit HaMikdash and say, "Humble Ones, the time of our Redemption has arrived." --Yalkut Shemoni

Why wait?
