The noun moshiach (translated as messiah) annotatively means annointed one; it does not, however, imply savior. The notion of an innocent, semi-divine being who will sacrifice himself to save us from the consequences of our own sins is a purely Christian concept that has no basis in Jewish thought or scripture. In Judaic texts, the term messiah was used for all kings, high priests, certain warriors, but never eschatological figures. In the Tanach, moshiach is used 38 times: two patriarchs, six high priests, once for Cyrus, 29 Israelite kings such as Saul and David. Not once is the word moshiach used in reference to the awaited Messiah. Even in the apocalyptic book of Daniel, the only timemoshiach is mentioned is in connection to a murdered high priest. TheDead Sea Scrolls, the Pseudepigrapha, and Apocrypha never mention the Messiah. The man destined to be the Messiah will be a direct descendant of King David (Isaiah 11:1) through the family of Solomon, Davids son (1 Chronicles 22:9-l0). He will cause all the world to serve God together (Isaiah 11:2), be wiser than Solomon (Mishnah Torah Repentance 9:2), greater than the patriarchs and prophets (Aggadah Genesis 67), and more honored than kings (Mishnah Sanhedrin 10), for he will reign as king of the world (Pirkei Eliezer). Amongst the most basic missions that the Messiah will accomplishduring his lifetime (Isaiah 42:4) are to: · Oversee the rebuilding of Jerusalem, including the Third Temple, in the event that it has not yet been rebuilt (Michah 4:1 and Ezekiel 40-45) · · Gather the people from all over the world and bring them home to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 11:12; 27:12-13) · · Influence every individual of every nation to abandon and be ashamed of their former beliefs (or non-beliefs) and acknowledge and serve only the One True God of Israel (Isaiah 11:9-10; 40:5 andZephaniah 3:9) · · Bring about global peace throughout the world (Isaiah 2:4; 11:5-9and Michah 4:3-4). There are over a dozen additional prophecies which the Messiah will also achieve (there is no mention of any “second coming” in the Tanach or the New Testament). In order to avoid identifying the wrong individual as Messiah, the Code of Jewish Law dictates criteria for establishing the Messiahs identity (Mishnah Torah Kings 11:4): If a king arises from the House of David who meditates on the Torah, occupies himself with the commandments as did his ancestorKing David, observes the commandments of the Written and Oral Law, prevails upon all Israel to walk in the way of the Torah and to follow its direction, and fights the wars of God, it may be assumed that he is the Messiah. If he does these things and is fully successful, rebuilds the Third Templeon its location, and gathers the exiled Jews, he is beyond doubt the Messiah. But if he is not fully successful, or if he is killed, he is not the Messiah. This is the belief The BODY of MESSIAH Ministry: WE, MESSIAHS BODY / HIS BRIDE / HIS Third TEMPLE, are responsible to move as HIS BODY, here on earth, and accomplish these things to get ourselves ready for HIS RETURN. · Oversee the rebuilding of Jerusalem, including the Third Temple, in the event that it has not yet been rebuilt (Michah 4:1 and Ezekiel 40-45) We, HIS BODY, ARE HIS FINAL TEMPLE, THAT HE IS BUILDING. =-=-=-=-=-=-= · · Gather ALL HIS PEOPLE from all over the world and bring them home to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 11:12; 27:12-13) HE WILL GATHER HIS WITNESSES, from all over the world, and BRING THEM TO BE ONE IN HIS NAME and POWER and STAND AS HIS PRESENCE, in this world. =-=-=-=-=-=-= · · Influence every individual of every nation to abandon and be ashamed of their former beliefs (or non-beliefs) and acknowledge and serve only the One True God of Israel (Isaiah 11:9-10; 40:5 andZephaniah 3:9) All that SUBMIT to HIM are MADE HOLY, and HIS, by the BLOOD of the HOLY ROOT, YHSHWH/JESUS; the SEED of the woman, the SEED of ABRAHAM, the SON of DAVID, The ONLY TRUE BLOOD of ISRAEL. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Then the 1,000 years Bring about global peace throughout the world (Isaiah 2:4; 11:5-9 andMichah 4:3-4).
