Definition of messianic

messianicadjective

cứu thế

/ˌmesiˈænɪk//ˌmesiˈænɪk/

The word "messianic" originated from the Hebrew term "meshiach," which means "anointed one." In Judaism, this term referred to a future religious leader who would bring about salvation and restore the kingdom of Israel. This concept is found in the Hebrew Bible, especially in the Books of Isaiah, Daniel, and the Psalms. The term "messiah" gained new significance in the Christian religion. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Hebrew prophecies about the messiah, who came to die for the sins of humanity and bring about eternal salvation. The term "messianic" is used to describe followers of Jesus who believe in his messianic mission and continue to await his second coming. In modern society, the term "messianic" has expanded beyond its religious connotations to describe anyone with a savior complex or a belief in their own importance. However, in its original context, "messianic" remains a deeply religious and significant term, representing the hope for salvation and the belief in the ultimate triumph of good over evil.
