The anticipation of the coming of the Messiah, particularly in Jewish tradition, was characterized by the hope for a divinely appointed leader who would restore Israel, bring peace, and establish God's kingdom on Earth. Prophecies found in the Hebrew Scriptures, such as those in Isaiah and Micah, fueled this expectation, portraying the Messiah as a savior figure who would deliver the people from oppression and injustice. In Christian belief, this expectation was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is seen as the Messiah who brings salvation to all humanity. This anticipation has played a significant role in shaping religious thought and cultural identity throughout history.
