Messiah | July 12, 2004

Messiah is a Hebrew term which means “the anointed one”. In Judaism the rabbinic literature developed extensive discussions about the concept of the Messiah, which is a central eschatological concept. Although it is a post biblical concept there are many references in the bible about what can be called messianic phenomena. The coming of the Messiah, it is believed, will demonstrate the truth of Judaism to the world and usher in an era of universal peace, harmony and justice. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and other religions developed their own messianic concepts.
