I suppose showMessages() called earlier than you push anything to user_messages array in onSnapshot callback.

onSnapshot lets you listen for snapshots. That means that you cannot guarantee that your handler would have been called even once before showMessages is invoked.
You could reorder your control flow like this:
// ...
user_chats.onSnapshot((querySnapshot) => {
querySnapshot.forEach(doc => {
user_messages.push(doc.data());
});
showMessages();
});
// ...
