Who is the Messiah in Judaism religion?

Answer 1

The Messiah is the one who came to this Earth in human flesh. He came to pay the ultimate price for our sins. He came as a sacrifice for us, so that we could have everlasting life Christians believed that Jesus Christ was the messiah.

Answer 2

The Messiah is believed to be a future King from the House of David who will rise to power and lead the Jews through the Messianic Period. He will lead them into the land of Israel, usher in an era of peace, build the Third Temple, and reestablish the Sanhedrin (the court of Torah-sages).

Answer 3

Christian View

The role of the Messiah (Jesus) in Christian belief is that Jesus would be sent by God to deliver them from their sins and wrong doings. Some believed that he was the Messiah but others were worried. Jesus was convicted of treason under roman law and was crucified or executed on a cross outside Jerusalem.

Jewish View

The word "messiah" is the transliterated form of the Hebrew "moshiach." The word moshiach means "anointed." The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of God. We have had many meshichim (plural) in the form of kings and priests. In Judaism there is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach.

That being said, there is a prophecy of a future moshiach; however, this is a relatively minor topic in Judaism and the Tanakh.

The Jewish role of the messiah is to:

* Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28)

* Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6)

* Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease, as it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man 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 14:9)

* The messiah must be descended on his father's side from King David (Genesis 49:10 and Isaiah 11:1)

* The messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah-observance. The Torah states that all of its mitzvot (commands) remain binding forever.

Answer 4

The Jewish understanding of the messiah is that he has not arrived yet and will not be crucified. They believe he will come at a later time and a more apparent entry. This is in contrast to the Christian version which believes Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead. The Jews had a hard time believing he was the messiah since he did not make some sort of grand entrance and appeared as just an ordinary man. This eventually led up to Jesus being convicted of treason by the Roman Empire leading to his crucifixion.

Answer 5

Belief in the eventual coming of the mashiach is a basic and fundamental part of traditional Judaism. Modern scholars suggest that the messianic concept was introduced later in the history of Judaism, during the age of the prophets. They note that the messianic concept is not explicitly mentioned anywhere in the Torah (the first five books of The Bible). Jews use the term "mashiach" which literally means "the anointed one," and refers to the ancient practice of anointing kings with oil when they took the throne. The mashiach is the one who will be anointed as king in the End of Days.

Christians believe the Messianic prophecies were fulfilled in the mission, death, and resurrection of Jesus and that he will return to fulfill the rest of Messianic prophecy.

Answer 6

The word 'messiah' is the anglicisation of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. The word moshiach translates to 'anointed'. The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of HaShem. We have had many moshiachim (pl) in the form of kings, priests, prophets, and judges. There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach. There is a prophecy of a future moshiach, however, there is nothing supernatural about him, he'll be a religious Jew who will lead the country of Israel. The idea of the moshiach is a relatively minor subject in Judaism.

Answer 9

To the Jews, a messiah(meshiha) was an 'anointed person' and this would refer to either a king or a priest. By the start of the first century, the Jews were longing for a messiah king who would rid them of foreign rule and restore the kingdom of David. The Dead Sea Scrolls, generally attributed to a group known as the Essenes, also refers to a hoped-for messiah of the priestly line, who would purify Judea and restore what they imagined to be the true faith.

To Christians, Jesus was the messiah. Since he had to be of royal lineage to fulfil the first requirement of a messiah, the Gospels of Matthew and Luke both provide a lineage for Jesus, back through King David, although there are irreconcilable differences in those genealogies. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says there is little likelihood that either genealogy is strictly historical.
