Why around 168 BCE did the Jewish religion start become increasingly messianic?
The belief in the coming of the eventual messiah has always been part of Israelite belief (Rashi commentary, Genesis 49:10). Whenever troubles increase, the hope for the messiah, and the fervor in the relevant parts of our prayers, may tend to increase. Around 168 BCE, the Second Temple was despoiled by the Seleucids. However, the term "Jewish religion...increasingly messianic" is a bit off. The significance of the awaiting of the messiah has never changed in principle; it is only its outward expression that is sometimes increased by some. That is a manifestation of (some of) the people, not the religion itself.
