No. Our tradition and beliefs call for a human messiah, whom we still await.

The messiah


What do Jews call the Messiah?

Jews call "the Messiah" as "the Messiah" or in Hebrew "HaMoshiach" (המשיח). However, as opposed to other religions, such as Christianity or Islam, Judaism does not believe that the Messiah has come yet and therefore is not identified with any person. For example, Jews don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah and, therefore, do not accept the Christian or Islamic claims that he was a God prophet or God/son of God.

What do Jews and christians disagree about?

Who Jesus Christ was... a good teacher/rabbi or the true son of God and Savior of the World Jews did not believe in Christ as the Messiah, the savior of the world. What they expect for a Messiah is a political messiah that would liberate them from the Romans at that time. They were just disappointed when they knew that Jesus is talking to another kind of saving the world.

Did the Jews expect the messiah to be the son of god?

Messiah means one anointed in holy oils. There have been many messiahs. All of the prophets were messiahs, some kings, and even some non-Jews. When people say 'The Messiah' they mean a future messiah who will be a decedent of King David who will fulfill all the requirements of the messiah. Since the Jewish Messiah has not yet been born, no, the future messiah is not the father of the Jews. Christians see the Messiah as Jesus and they also view Jesus as the son of God and God himself. Jews do not agree. Jews do not think the Messiah will be God or his son and Jews believe that the messiah has not come yet.


Who do the orthodox Jews consider to be the messiah?

Orthodox Jews do not know who the next messiah will be. But the Jewish definition of messiah is that he will be an ordinary human man, who will be a leader (and not a human sacrifice or a half-man half-god hybrid).


What made Jews believe that they were messiah?

Jews do not believe they personally are the messiah. Rather, Jews believe they were chosen to introduce ethical monotheism (the belief in one God) to a pagan and polytheistic world. When Judaism emerged as a religion, it was in fact the first to promote the worship of only one Deity. In the Hebrew Bible (what Christians refer to as the "Old Testament" and Jews call the Tanakh), it says that God (whom Muslims call Allah) will send the messiah, but it does not say when this will occur. Since the idea of a promised messiah can be found in the Hebrew Bible, it is not surprising that some people believe he will be Jewish.Christians believe Jesus (who was in fact Jewish) was the promised messiah, but Jews do not agree with this. Jews believe the messiah has not come yet, and they do not believe Jesus did what the messiah was supposed to do. So Jews wait for the messiah, who will be sent when God decides to send him. What religion the messiah will be is up to God; but the Bible clearly states that in the final days, there will be no more prejudice and everyone will unite to worship the one God together.
