مسیح کیست
طبق عهد عتیق, مسیح به یک شخصیت وعده داده شده توسط خداوند گفته میشود که قیام خواهد کرد.
Old testament
از نسل داوود, یک مرد صالح قیام خواهد کرد.
Then a shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit. (2) The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him— the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD. (3) And He will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what His eyes see, and He will not decide by what His ears hear, (4) but with righteousness He will judge the poor, and with equity He will decide for the lowly of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips. (5)
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land. (5) In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness. (6)
در زمان عیسی, اسرائیل تحت کنترل رومی ها بود که نه تنها یهودی نبودند, بلکه قائل به آیین شرکی خود بودند.
