Menachem Mendel Schneerson( Fragment)


The Messianic Idea, or the hope for a Messiah, which was created by the Jews, developed out of the intense suffering endured by the people during their early history. Because of their lack of a "glorious past," they look to a "glorious future." The idea states that at a time designated by God, a Messiah, or savior, a descendant of the House of David, will gather the Jewish people to Jerusalem and initiate an earthly reign of peace and harmony, devoid of the oppression that the Jews have experienced in the past.

There is a distinction to be made between a Messianic hope and the hope of a Messiah. The Messianic hope is more general and calls for the "political freedom, moral perfection, and earthly bliss" of both the Jews and the entire human race. The more specific hope of a Messiah calls for a person, or redeemer, who embodies these three characteristics and is able to bring them about during their reign. Different parts of this idea have been emphasized in the past depending on what aspect of Jewish life was being threatened. For example, during the time of the Roman occupation of Jerusalem, the political freedom aspect of the idea came forward as the most important.
Kingdom of the Messiah that will be created is an earthly one, not the heavenly world expected in Christianity. This is because the Jews do not separate faith from social life as can be seen in the three main points of the Messianic Idea stated above.
