“The entire of a thing is determined by its ending” is a well-known rule in the Talmud. So it is entirely appropriate that Rambam’s magnum opus, Mishneh Torah, which encompasses all of Halacha conclude with the laws of Moshiach for it is in the Messianic Age that the laws of the Torah will be fulfilled in their entirety.
