Greetings Sierra2020,
We see you're not able to locate your recent messages on your iMac, and we'd like to help. Are you referring to only text messages, or iMessages as well? Knowing this will help work out what might be happening.
Do you use Messages in iCloud? If you've used it previously, you might want to check the settings below: Use Messages in iCloud - Apple Support
On your Mac
Open Messages.
In the menu bar, choose Messages > Preferences.
Click iMessage.
Select the checkbox next to Enable Messages in iCloud.
On the other hand, if you used text message forwarding before, you'll want to check this resource to make sure you have it configured on both the Mac and iPhone. Keep in mind that while this would forward new messages to the Mac, it will not sync the older messages. However, you can manually forward them using the steps in the following link: How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac - Apple Support
Take care.
