| | Jewish Messiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Jewish Messiah, (משיח) or Mashiah, Mashiach or Moshiach, has traditionally referred to a future Jewish king from the Davidic line who will be "anointed" (in Hebrew, mashiach -- משיח ("messiah") means "anointed" with holy anointing oil) and inducted to rule the Jewish people. | | | In Standard Hebrew the Messiah is often referred to as מלך המשיח Méleḫ ha-Mašíaḥ (Tiberian Hebrew Méleḵ hamMāšîªḥ), literally "the Anointed King". | | | For the beliefs of other religions regarding the Jewish Messiah see Messiah) |

| | The Jewish Messiahs (Oxford University Press, 2001) |
| | If "[the messiah in question] is a king who arises from the house of David, meditates on the Torah, occupies himself with the commandments in accord with the oral and written Torah, and prevails on all Jews to do so and fights the battles of God," he may be considered the messiah. | | | Further emphasis on the messiah as mystic is provided somewhat later, also from Iberia, by Avraham Abulafia, who, a messiah himself, brought new relevance to practices of meditation and name and alphabet mysticism. | | | Ultimately, with the loss of the oil of anointment itself in the destruction of the Temple in the eighth century, the application of the term mashiah that identifies its bearer—in particular David and his lineage, also lost in the destruction—as an associate of the divine is sufficient in itself. |

| | Is Jesus Really the Jewish Messiah? |
| | There is nothing in the Bible that states that the Messiah would be a god or God-like, or that he would be born to a virgin. | | | The Bible states that the Messiah will redeem Israel, but 30 years after Jesus died, Jerusalem was destroyed, and the Jews were exiled by the Roman to suffer 1900 years of persecution, mostly by the followers of Jesus. | | | The purpose of the Messiah is to bring us to the day when all the Jews will observe the Torah and to teach it to all humankind who will accept its truths. |

| | Jewish Messiah |
| | The Jewish Messiah must be a descendant of the original Messianic figure, King David of the Jews, who is shown depicted in an illuminated manuscript at left. | | | Messiah needed to be spiritual and political at the same time in order to be able to achieve the Messianic hope. | | | He fights Gog and Magog and falls to them in battle at which time the Messiah ben David comes to defeat the enemies of Israel, bring the Jewish people back to their land, reconcile them with God, and bring about a period of political, spiritual, and physical bliss. |

| | Hanefesh: The Jewish Messiah |
| | The Jewish Messiah is a God fearing, moral human being, who is both a great scholar and leader. | | | The Messiah is a direct descendent of King David (Jeremiah 23:5), and will be anointed by God as the new Jewish King. | | | In fact, the Hebrew word for Messiah is Moshiach, which means "anointed one", there is no source of Messiah meaning "savior." The notion of an innocent, divine or semi-divine being who will sacrifice himself to save us from the consequences of our own sins clearly has no basis in Judaism. |

| | Jesus the Jew |
| | It was inevitable that Jewish scribes and priests, guardians of the faith, would regard Jesus as a threat to ancient traditions. | | | To Jewish leaders, Jesus was a troublemaker, a subversive who was undermining respect for the Sabbath and religious rites, an arrogant man who claimed that he above all other men was favored by God, another in a long line of messiahs who had been condemned and executed. | | | Composed of the upper stratum of Jewish society—influential landed gentry and hereditary priests who controlled the temple in Jerusalem—the Sadducees insisted on a strict interpretation of Mosaic Law and the perpetuation of temple ceremonies. |

| | Quotes from the Jewish Bible cited by some Christians to indicate otherwise are invariably taken out of context and/or interpreted in a sense diametrically opposite from the meaning given to them by Jewish tradition. | | | It is a special curiosity because Messiah is a concept of Jewish origin now at the center of a powerful world religion, Christianity, which most Jews deem antithetical to their heritage. | | | The Messiah is not "God in human form." He is no more, no less, a child of God than any other human being. |

| | FAQ Jewish Response to Christian Concept of Messiah |
| | Indeed, in Jewish thought, the Messianic idea is not the most crucial. However, in Christian thought, the Messiah is paramount- a difficulty in light of its conspicuous absence from scripture. | | | 11) According to the Jewish Bible, the Messiah must be a descendent of King David. (Jeremiah 23:5, 33:17; Ezekiel 34:23-24) Although the Greek Testament traces the genealogy of Joseph (husband of Mary) back to David, it then claims that Jesus resulted from a virgin birth, and, that Joseph was not his father. (Mat. | | | the Messiah) describing a future anointed person to come does not appear anywhere in the Bible. Since the Bible makes no explicit reference to the Messiah, it is unlikely that it could be considered the most important concept in the Bible. |

| | Unfortunately, most Jewish people do not understand who Jesus really is Jewish people think that Jesus is the "Christian god." To a Jewish person, Jesus is the one who Christians look to to find spiritual fulfillment and enlightenment. | | | By helping Christians understand the Jewish roots of our faith, we believe that we are at the same time equipping them to communicate the love of Messiah to their Jewish friends in a sensitive, loving, and effective way. | | | We also spend a lot of our time in the local church teaching the Word of God, the Jewish roots of our faith, and explaining the Jewish holidays. |

| | The Kabala began amongst Jewish priests who were corrupted by the Babylonian Satanic Mysteries while they were serving in Babylon during the 70-year Babylonian Captivity decreed by God as punishment for Israel's repeated sins. | | | The answer is both shocking and revealing: the Pharisees and Sadducees were not traditional Jewish priests, but were mystic priests secretly practicing the Oral Tradition they called the Torah, which about 1300 A.D. circa, became codified and known as the Kabalah. | | | These Rabbis explain in their excited manner that the Persian Gulf War was described in precise detail in Sacred Jewish texts as being the event which occurs as the identity of Judaism's King Messiah is revealed. |

| | Maimonides writes that one of the thirteen principles of faith for the Jewish People is the belief in the coming of the Messiah: "I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah, and even though he may delay, nevertheless I anticipate every day that he will come" [Commentary to Mishna Sanhedrin, chapter 10]. | | | The messiah's goal, at least the first time around, was now not said to be the redemption of Israel (which had clearly not taken place) but the atonement for original sin. | | | Thus we have learned that the Messiah will be the greatest spiritual leader the world has ever known, and will precipitate a global spiritual revolution unparalleled in the annals of human history. |
