Who is the new Messiah?

The new messiah hasn't come yet. The Jews are waitng for Him for example and the Christians think he will come again but no one so far has come forward as the messiah or at least with proof.

Cyrus was king of Persia (560/559 - 530BCE). Darius was king of Persia (522 - 486BCE). Cyrus was credited (correctly) in the Book of Isaiah with conquering the Babylonian Empire and freeing the Jews. Darius was credited in the Book of Daniel with conquering the Babylonian Empire and freeing the Jews.


Which book is right, the Torah, the Quran, or the Bible Why?

Jews consider the Torah to be the word of God and consider the Christian additions to the Hebrew scriptures to be spurious. Christians generally consider the Torah to be the word of God, since they include it as part of the Christian Bible (the books of Genesis through Deuteronomy), while Christians generally consider the Koran to be spurious. Islam considers both Christianity and Judaism to be divinely inspired and accepts the Christian Bible (including the Jewish Bible) as being largely the word of God, except that they consider Jews and Christians to have made mistakes in transmitting some of the stories, notably where there are conflicts with the Koran. Note that, while Jews consider the Christian and Islamic scriptures to be spurious, they do not deny that these contain genuine wisdom and that they can be used to teach a righteous path in life that is acceptable to God. Christians generally have a harder time with non-Christian religions because Christianity has long taught that it is the only path to salvation.

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).


Why did the Jews not like Cyrus rule?

The supposition of this question, namely that Jews did not like Cyrus the Great, is very wrong. The Book of Ezra/Nehemiah shows how happy the Jews were that Cyrus the Great had come to power and gave them the freedom to return to Judea and rebuild the Great Temple. Cyrus the Great is still highly regarded in the Jewish community for his positive stance towards the Jews of his empire.

Does the Old Testament refer to the Persian King Cyrus as messiah?

A:The Jewish notion of a messiah arose during the centuries of foreign rule that followed the Persian period, and was for a great military leader who would defeat Judah's enemies and gain independence. When King Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to their homeland and paid for the Temple to be rebuilt, the concept of a messiah had not yet arisen and so Cyrus is not called the messiah. However, the Book of Isaiah (II Isaiah's contribution) does acknowledge the role that Cyrus had played in freeing the Jews and allowing their return. Verse 44:28: "That saith of Cyrus. He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid."Verse 45:1: "Thus saith the Lord to his appointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden ..."Verse 45:4: "For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee even though thou has not known me."
