Derivation
, of 'Messiah'

I

By RABBI SAMUEL FOX

(Copyright 1978, JTA, Inc.)

The term "Messiah" in
Jewish tradition as it was
originally used iri the Old
testament, was an adjec-
o tive which referred to both
special humans and special
objects to signify that they
were "anointed."
This indicated that these
peop' nd objects were con-
,tecr, to the Almighty
and were to be viewed and
treated as such. With the
destruction of the temple in
Jerusalem the role of
anointing was abandoned.
Therefore, thereafter the
act of anointing or having
either people or objects
anointed, would signal that
the temple had been re-
stored and Israel re-
instated to its ancient glory
and holiness.
It was thus that this
,term came later to be as-
signed to the human fig-
ure who would come
forth as the deliverer of
the people since he would
herald the reinstatement
of the original consecra-
tion unto the Almighty.
To be able to carry forth
this official mission he him-
self would have to be an
anointed one to indicate
that he himself was an offi-
cial of the Almighty or an
"anointed" one.
