The messiah Jewish principles of faith

-


judaism acknowledges afterlife, not have single or systemic way of thinking afterlife. judaism places overwhelming stress on olam hazeh (this world) rather olam haba (the world come), , speculations world come peripheral mainstream judaism. in pirkei avot (ethics of fathers), said 1 hour of penitence , deeds in world better life of world come; 1 hour of spiritual repose in world come better life of world, reflecting both view of significance of life on earth , spiritual repose granted righteous in next world.


jews reject idea jesus of nazareth messiah , agree messiah has not yet come. throughout jewish history there have been number of jewish messiah claimants considered false jews, including notably simon bar kokhba , sabbatai zevi, followers known sabbateans.


the twelfth of maimonides 13 principles of faith was: believe perfect faith in coming of messiah (mashiach), , though may tarry, still await him every day. orthodox jews believes future jewish messiah (the mashiach, anointed 1 ) king rule jewish people independently , according jewish law. in traditional view, messiah understood human descendant of king david (that is, of davidic line).


liberal, or reform judaism not believe in arrival of personal messiah ingather exiles in land of israel , cause physical resurrection of dead. rather, reform jews focus on future age in there perfected world of justice , mercy.
