Will All Jews Live In Israel After The Messiah Comes?

In his sixth lecture on Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor for Torah in Motion, Marc Shapiro says:

For most of us, when we say at the Passover seder, ‘Next year in Jerusalem’, it’s not reality, it’s just an eschatological hope. That the Messiah will come. Who gave you the idea that when the Messiah comes, all Jews will live in Israel? There are all sorts of discussions about yom tov sheni (extra day of Jewish holidays in the diaspora) after the Messiah comes.

I believe that between 25-50% of every serious Modern Orthodox family has at least one child who has made aliyah (moved to Israel).
