Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4899: מָשִׁיחַ (Mashiach) - Anointed, Messiah

Usage: The term "Messias" is used in the New Testament to refer to the "Anointed One," the promised deliverer and king prophesied in the Old Testament. In the context of the New Testament, it specifically identifies Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of these messianic prophecies. The term is synonymous with "Christ," which is the Greek equivalent.

Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish tradition, the Messiah was expected to be a divinely appointed leader who would restore Israel, bring peace, and establish God's kingdom on earth. This expectation was rooted in various Old Testament prophecies, including those found in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Daniel. By the time of Jesus, many Jews were eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Messiah to liberate them from Roman rule and restore the Davidic kingdom.
