Tradition Today: Waiting for the messiah

JERUSALEM POST




The origins of the concept of a messiah are in the hope for the restoration of the Davidic dynasty of kings.

EXCERPT

Obviously there is no consensus in Judaism concerning the messiah. The most we can say is that the messianic ideal asserts that there is hope for the future and that God will somehow bring about an age of perfection and freedom. How that will happen, when it will happen and by what means, all remain in the area of speculation.
