2. Jesus Christ, regarded by Christians as fulfilling this promise and expectation. John 4:25, 26.
messiah
c.1300, Messias, from L.L. Messias, from Gk. Messias, from Aramaic meshiha and Heb. mashiah "anointed" (of the Lord), from mashah "anoint." This is the word rendered in Septuagint as Gk. Khristos (see Christ). In O.T. prophetic writing, it was used of an expected deliverer of the Jewish nation. The modern Eng. form represents an attempt to make the word look more Heb., and dates from the Geneva Bible (1560). Transf. sense of "an expected liberator or savior of a captive people" is attested from 1666.

Meshiachists
Chabadniks who believe that the lubavitcher Rebbe (Menachem Mendel Shneerson) is the Messiah and soon will be resurrected and return as the Messiah (sounds familiar?).
Chabadniks are kind people known for their efforts in kiruv, however if you see a yellow flag with a blue crown and moschiach written in hebrew, run. Chabad meshiachists can also be spotted by wearing pins with the same flag, wearing a yarmulke with “ Yechi Adonenu Morenu Ve-rabbenu Melech Ha-moschiach” on it, and the song “yechi adonenu”.

- See that Chabadniks there?
- Yeah
- They’re meshiachists, they’re wearing the pins and the yarmulke
- well, it is understandable to mourn a great rebbe, however their believes are quite heretic. They need to cope

Power Couple
A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.
Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.
In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.

I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.
I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
