Utopian. Among other prophecies, he will have to fulfill these: * Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred and oppression. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more" (Isaiah 2:4). * Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world. On that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah
* The messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah-observance.
There is no belief in Judaism that the world will end. Judaism believes that when the Jewish Maschiach (messiah) arrives, he will usher in world peace, and 'perfect the world' so that we have G-d's kingdom, right here on earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Judaism the concept of Messiah is within the boundaries of human actions sort of speak or within the historical progress, metaphors or archetypes of the Messiah (although A hero messiah or a prophet Messiah arent exactly the common Jewish phrases) are common within Jewish thinking. the two common archetypes are one from the house of Joseph and one from the house of David - as the historical task of redemption can take many forms many believe that the David like Messiah would be able to bring both real politic achievements and spiritual achievements. a hero and a prophet. Jewish concept: The word 'messiah' is the anglicisation of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. The literal meaning of 'moshiach' is 'anointed' and is a title given to any person who was properly anointed with oil as part of their initiation to serving HaShem (The Creator), examples of moshiachim (pl) are kings, priests, and prophets. There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach.
The word messiah comes from the Hebrew "moshiach" (the ch at the end is hard, like in Bach or Loch) which comes from the root "mashah" meaning anointed. Leviticus 8 describes the ritual by which Aaron was anointed as high priest. First Samuel 10 describes the anointment of Saul as King. High Priests and Kings continued to be anointed for as long as these offices existed. Later, when the last of the Davidic kings was deposed, messianic prophecies emerged ot a future restoration of the monarchy by a divinely appointed messiah. The Messiah would re-establish an independent Jewish kingdom. As time passed, these prophesies grew in grandeur, until they became part of escatology and the messiah was no longer a human king but, at least in Christian eyes, divine.
Something like "half-blood", so in this case, someone who has one Jewish and one non-Jewish parent.

Jewish art are works of art that are somehow reflective or representative of the Jewish religion or culture. Jewish art, like all art, comes in many forms, such as beautifully scribed Ketubot, vivid prints, and vibrant jewelry.
Well, from my understanding, a Messiah is a special being, sent by God; so no normal human being can become a Messiah. In case you mean how to recognize a Messiah, the issue is rather complex. One sign is given in the Bible, where it says (when talking about false prophets), something like: You shall recognize them by their fruits.
The messiah, the beginning and the end, the alpha and omega, holy one, the morning star, light of the world, lamb of god,
The title "Son of David" is used for the Messiah because it signifies the lineage of the promised deliverer. The Messiah was prophesied to come from the line of David in the Old Testament, specifically in passages like 2 Samuel 7:12-16. By calling the Messiah the "Son of David," it emphasizes that he is the rightful heir to David's throne and fulfills the messianic expectations of the Jewish people.
Actually, Christians view God very much the same way the Jewish people do. Christians believe that God is the One God and creator of all things. Christians also believe that Israel are God's choosen people, and that salvation came first for the Jews and then by the Jews. If it had not been for the Jewish people, the Gentiles(which make up the majority of christians) would not have been ushered into God's plan. The Old Testament portion of the Bible is broadly agreed upon by most Jewish people and christians. The differences arise when it comes to the New Testament portion of the Bible. The Christians are followers of Jesus Christ, whom they believe was the promised Messiah, and saviour of all humanity. The Jews however, although they acknowledge Jesus existed, do not except Him as such. The Jewish people believe that the promise of a Messiah has yet to be fulfilled, The Christians believe the promise was fulfilled through Jesus Christ.
