It is said in Isaiah that he will be the Messiah, and in another chapter that he would die for the sins of the world.
The majority of the Jews believed the prophets who said a Messiah would come and free them , but it was to beof their sins, but the Jews wanted the Messiah to be a king and free them of the Roman bondage.
He is considered the messiah because he is the son of God mathew 3:16-17 My church teacher thingy said that and she said because messiah means messenger and that's what Jesus was ; he was a messenger because he was giving the good word of his father.
The Hebrew word Messiah means "the anointed". In earlier times, kings were anointed to show that they were accepted as rightful kings of Judah; the practice was also followed when high priests were appointed. The Greek translation of Messiah is Christ.After the Babylonian Exile ended the Judahite monarchy, the expectation grew that, one day, a new leader would come and would lead Judah to military victory over its enemies. This leader would be anointed and would be known as the Messiah.The Gospels have Jesus saying he was the Messiah, or Christ, not as the military leader that most Jews expected, but a spiritual Messiah who would lead his people to a spiritual victory.
The prophets said tat the messiah would come from the seed of Jessee , and king David was the son of Jessee..
Jesus Christ. His disciples saw Him as the messiah: John 1:41 At once he found his brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah." (This word means "Christ.") other people saw Him as the messiah: John 4:25 The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah will come, and when he comes, he will tell us everything." John 4:26 Jesus answered, "I am he, I who am talking with you." Jesus Himself said He was the messiah: Matthew 16:20 Then Jesus ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
There are different types of moshiachim (Hebrew plural). If you're referring to 2000 years ago, Jews were looking for a King moshiach who would defeat the Romans. According to Jewish belief, the mashiach (Messiah) has not yet come.
Christos, meaning "anointed." In English, "Christ."John 1:41 - He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ). [NKJV]
Like this..... "You have completly taken what I just said out of context".
The 'Messiah' is a prophesied leader of the Davidic line that would rise to rule the world; some other prophesies also relate to what this messiah would do. Because of Jesus' ministry, his early followers believed he was the one to fulfill said prophesies, which he did in part, according to the Bible. It is now a commonly-held (although sometimes disputed) teaching of Christianity that further prophesies will be fulfilled upon his second coming and thus his position, and belief in him, as the messiah are cemented in many people's minds.
eneology payed a big part in both the testaments as prophet said that the messiah would come from the line of David.
