I have read and reread the Tanakh and due to my interpretations, I disagree that maybe a real 'messiah' is on the way. And think about this. I say that Moses is the true leader of Kl'al Yisrael. Why would there be someone to trump him??? And in fact, if Moses is buried in an unmarked grave, why would G-d send us a man to lead us that is so special and so perfect that he would be revered for 100s of years? I suggest that this will not be and there will be no kever of a messiah ever because aside from the fact that Hashem most certainly has his own servants in every generation, there will be no servant that is to be over the top and working as someone higher than Moses ever. No kever for a messiah. No worth going to a rabbis kever and declaring he is the moshiac. The point is to WAIT UPON YOUR G-D. That message is clear in Tanakh.
Here is an article to illustrate my point:

In this the ChaBaD rabbis all go to their rebbes graveside. They do it year round and it is well known that many have declared him the messiah Ben David. I think that perhaps if there was a real messiah and he eventually became niftar (died), he would not likely be someone that our G-d wants the world to revere and make graveside concessions as the whole world would feel that was due. That is why Moses was not buried in a marked grave.
