heh. That reminds me of an argument I got into with some Israeli friends about Obama. At one point they were saying that President Obama could be the antichrist. I laughed and said "You canât have an antichrist wihtout a christ. Since when do Jews believe in Christ??What is the Jewish understanding of the antichrist and the final days?
Actually, I was just repenting of my annoyance over the Dome because it is a magnificent monument, and it enshrines a key place of Jewish & Christian veneration as well as of Muslim belief.
Sounds more like The Ring Of The Nibelungen to me, except that Siegfried and BrĂźnnhilde are dismissed somehow!!!Frodo gets to the Cracks of Doom, then Gollum seizes The Ring but falls into the fire and The Ring is destroyed.
Basically.
In other words, bit of a silly question.
Well, if Christ means Messiah (or Moshiach), and if the Jews are waiting for the coming of the Messiah, would there also be the idea of an anti-Messiah according to Judaism? (Whether the Messiah is Jesus or anyone else would not be specified then, of course!)There was a really interesting documentary on UK Channel 4 about âRevelationâ and âmagic mushroomsâ- itâs all somebody elseâs preoccupation, anyway and, obviously, if you donât believe in the Christian âChristâ the idea of the Christian âanti-Christâ is pretty absurd to say the least.
Hereâs the Wikipedia article on Jewish eschatology.
The same question I asked Kaninchen I am asking you, Valke2. And arenât the Jews expecting the coming of the Messiah? Isnât that part of Judaism as well (âChristâ is greek for Messiah or hamoshiach if you prefer. --I wonder if the Sephardim spell it differently when writing in English?)
I donât think there is such a concept. Although we have plenty of experience with false messiahs. The Jewish belief in a messiah is different from a christian belief. We are not expecting a good vs. evil showdown and we do not ascribe the Messiah with Divine attributes.
We await the Messiah, yes. For us, he will be a leader that unites the Jewish people in a time where all the world worships the One God and the Jews return to Israel, and the Temple is rebuilt. We do not await God to come to earth in the form of a man.
PEACE you have got to be joking , How can you have peace if a fanatical religious group demolish the Mosque, peace will only come --when the world has had enough ,-- the Zionists can not have it all their own way,
Zionists are by and large not interested in demolishing anything. Every post you have made is against judaism and against Israel. I get that you hate us. So letâs call it a day and ignore each other.
I maybe wrong but I think youâve been reading a lot of anti-israeli propaganda. Just curious, where are you getting this thing that the zionist want to demolish the Mosque and build the temple on that site? As far as I know the zionist are talking about bullding the Temple around that area, but not necessarily at the exact place where the Dome is?
On the net you will find thousands of Zionist sites who,s members proclaim the Holy Mosque will be demolished, forcing Palistinians out of Jerusalem is part of the plan, I see the Athiest Jews in Russia call Israel. Bastardistan
I will get back to you on this as I donât have a complete answer off the top of my head.
Iâm not aware of any means of proving this, other than if a person fullfills all the other conditions associated with the Messiah, we (Jews) would assume the lineage.
Thank you
