The apocryphal Old Testament motifs of the belief in Messiah
Author(s):
Abstract:
The belief in Messiah, as an idea and the issues around it, is one of the most important considerations for the Jews. Jews look up to it, like their other teachings, within the framework of cultural traits, social and religious rituals. Jewish Messianism, has made their long-term suffering throughout history tolerable.
The term has been mentioned in their sacred writings of Jews about the Promised Saviour and the Jewish community have always put at heart with the word "Messiah" as a saviour. This term, the word "Messiah" is taken from Hebrew, which means "anointed". Although the Messiah is a title for the old king of Sons of Israel; after the time period, the ideal Jewish king has also been called this way.
Tanakh is the Christians as the Old Testament, and is described as the Jewish Bible. Along the Old Testament, a large collection called "Talmud" is also used in which many of the details of beliefs and doctrines of the Jewish have been taken from it. Among the Jewish religious texts, a major collection called "apocryphal" was considered an authoritative text for about three centuries.
This paper attempts to review themes and origins of the belief in Messiah among Jewish people in apocryphal book. The survey shows that apocryphal books have been influenced from the Old Testament on the belief in Messiah, and from multiple origins of this idea (belief in Messiah) in the Old Testament, the origins of the city of Jerusalem is more significant than others.
