The word "Messiah" comes from
a Hebrew root "Mashach." mean-
ing to "stroke" in the sense of
drawing the hand over something.
From this comes the Biblical ex-
pression "Mashiach" which orig-
inally meant "anointed" in the
sense that the oil was spread over
the object. Holy objects were thus
anointed to make them sacred.
The priests were thus anointed.
as was the king. (Exodus 28:41:
I Samuel 9:16). Anointing the king
would thus establish that he was
recognized 140-the Almighty. Ac-
tually the king was referred to as
"the anointed one of the Lord."
In the Apocalyptic literature we
find the term "Mashiach" or
"Messiah" referring to the Mes-
sianic king. With the termination
of the Jewish State and the
cessation of Jewish kings who
personified the state of Israel, the
hope for redemption and salvation
became symbolized by the antici-
pated reappearance of a king over
Israel who would again be anointed
and stand as a symbol of a
sovereign state and an independent
people. We do find a picture of
the ideal king in the Book of
Isaiah already (Isaiah 9:1-6). In
time, it was the Messiah's role of
the deliverer which was em-
phasized more than the role of
the kingship. It was this vision
and hope that kept a persecuted
people together.
