Friedman notes that “at the end of the Mishnah Tamid (Rosh Hashnah 31a) we read: ‘A Psalm, a song for the Sabbath day - a song for the time-to-come, for the day that is all Sabbath rest in the eternal life.’ The Sabbath, the Gemara asserts, is one-sixtieth of the world to come” (ibid., p.443).

A similar view is found in Genesis Rabbah 17:5: “There are three antitypes: the antitype of death is sleep, the anticype of prophecy is dream, the antitype of the age to come is the Sabbath.” Cf. Genesis Rabbah 44:17.
 56. Mishanh Tamid 7:4. The viewing of the Sabbath as the symbol and anticipation of the Messianic age gave to the celebration of the weekly Sabbath a note of gladness and hope for the future. Cf. Genesis Rabbat 17; 44; Baba Berakot 57f. Theodore Friedman shows how certain Sabbath regulations established by the school of Shammai were designed to offer a foretaste of the Messianic age (note 53, pp. 447-452).
