	Jewish Messiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jewish Messiah, (משיח) or Mashiah, Mashiach or Moshiach, has traditionally referred to a future Jewish king from the Davidic line who will be "anointed" (in Hebrew, mashiach -- משיח ("messiah") means "anointed" with holy anointing oil) and inducted to rule the Jewish people.
		The predominant Jewish understanding of moshiach ("the messiah") is based on the writings of Maimonides, (the Rambam).
		His views on the messiah are discussed in his Mishneh Torah, his 14 volume compendium of Jewish law, in the section Hilkhot Melakhim Umilchamoteihem, chapter 11.

	The Jewish Messiahs (Oxford University Press, 2001)
		The term “messiah,” as it is assumed by a particular human being in an event, and the term “messianism,” which refers to the collection of ideational literature that propounds and argues theologies concerning such terms as the messianic age and the messiah, interact.
		Since the term "messiah" is taken as common to the events and the accounts, some theoretical background to the application of the term should be established as a reference point.
		If "[the messiah in question] is a king who arises from the house of David, meditates on the Torah, occupies himself with the commandments in accord with the oral and written Torah, and prevails on all Jews to do so and fights the battles of God," he may be considered the messiah.

	Hanefesh: The Jewish Messiah
		The Jewish Messiah is a God fearing, moral human being, who is both a great scholar and leader.
		In fact, the Hebrew word for Messiah is Moshiach, which means "anointed one", there is no source of Messiah meaning "savior." The notion of an innocent, divine or semi-divine being who will sacrifice himself to save us from the consequences of our own sins clearly has no basis in Judaism.
		Every generation has a special anointed Messiah waiting, for as stated, the Messiah is alive and present in every generation, "He is ready to be revealed at a moment's notice" (Sanhedrin 98a).

		It is a special curiosity because Messiah is a concept of Jewish origin now at the center of a powerful world religion, Christianity, which most Jews deem antithetical to their heritage.
		For many years, most progressive Jewish thinkers held firmly to the belief in an era of peace and harmony at the "end of days," but shunned the "primitive" idea that it would be brought about through a particular human figure.

		Composed of the upper stratum of Jewish society—influential landed gentry and hereditary priests who controlled the temple in Jerusalem—the Sadducees insisted on a strict interpretation of Mosaic Law and the perpetuation of temple ceremonies.
		It was inevitable that Jewish scribes and priests, guardians of the faith, would regard Jesus as a threat to ancient traditions.

		To do this they often overreacted and distorted the picture of the Messiah in a way that was inconsistent with the picture of the Messiah presented by the the biblical prophets.
		In addition to overlooking an important aspect of the Messiah's atoning role on earth, most in modern Jewish rabbinical studies overlook the genealogy factor.Biblical Judaism teaches that Messiah's lineage will be a key criterion for his identification.
		Therefore, one must conclude that either Messiah came before the Temple was destroyed or else physical proof of his genealogy is unnecessary because he will be recognizable in other ways; or, worse still, that He will not come.

	FAQ Jewish Response to Christian Concept of Messiah
		Indeed, in Jewish thought, the Messianic idea is not the most crucial. However, in Christian thought, the Messiah is paramount- a difficulty in light of its conspicuous absence from scripture.
