| dc.description.abstract | The figure of the Messiah played a crucial role in Israel's understanding of God's salvation plans for her future. As a result, Judaism, at that time, knew of a list of figures such as Elijah, Moses, perhaps the Son of Man, the Anointed Priest, etc. All these figures were expected to appear at the time of God's definitive intervention on behalf of Israel. But the real transition to the expectation of a Messiah was brought about by the Old Testament idea of a king. The king was regarded, alongside the priests, and later the prophets, as the anointed (I Sam 10:1, 16:3, 2 Sam 2:4), as Yahweh's representative.' But the title 'Messiah' in general was undefined, even unclear; hence, subject to many forms of interpretations and misinterpretations. But to some extent the Messiahship that would be attributed to Jesus is best confined to a specifically defined idea, which is, the anointed King of the Davidic dynasty who would establish in the world the definitive reign of God.' The Messiah was mainly seen as the royal Son of David who would bring victory and prosperity to the Jewish nation and who would also set up his throne in Jerusalem. | en_US |
