The idea of Messiach, the king anointed by God, is known to be only
jewish idea. I don,t know the same in any other culture. The idea is
presented both in Torah in Tanach and huge rabbinic litterature and
christian litterature ( Christ is greek word meaning messiach).
What these sources saying about topic. Although views are sometimes
contradictory or seem to be so many points unite these books. The
dwelling place of the messiach is always unilaterally Jerusalem. No
other place is mentioned . " Word of God comes from Jerusalem..." etc.
Some Lubavich adherents promote the idea that messiach acts in New
York , that is totally new revelation in jewish rabbinic history.
Secondly Messiach brings the good message of the world peace to the
mankind. Evangelium ( sofar of joy) in Tanach is peace for all. Every
new year many people remind about the coming of the messiach blowing
sofar. Messiach himself is no superhuman , he is a human being as
usual and nobody cann't see difference being Messiach. He/She is a man
of word naturally sending Gods message to the whole mankind. Where
Messiach it is impossible to know for man. There are computer tests
testing who is messiach but they fail , messiach is a man of power and
need not childish tests.
