Messianism, which believes that the prophecy of Jesus Christ as the coming Saviour of the world was prophesied in the Old Testament Scripture, is an important element of the Christian faith. More than half a century ago, a renowned biblical scholar Roland E. Murphy wrote : \u201cIt is a fact that the term 'messiah,' as a terminus technicus<\/em> designating the ideal king who was to come, does not occur in the OT. It received this connotation only towards the beginning of the Christian era, whereas in itself it means merely the 'anointed,' referring to kings and priests.\u201d\u30021<\/sup> Barton has even gone further to declare that \u201cthe Messiah was not an important theme in most Old Testament books.\u201d\u30022<\/sup> In their studies, many scholars have arrived at the similar conclusion that \u201cmessianism\u201d becomes a major theme only during the Second Temple period, which, however, has different connotations to Christians and Jews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article is divided into three parts. The first part is a survey of the term \u201cmessiah\u201d and its cognates. It is followed by an analysis of the scriptures which are commonly used to construct \u201cmessianism\u201d in the Old Testament. Finally, it concludes with a brief description on the development of \u201cmessianism\u201d in the Second Temple period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
