Get the Mashiach mug.1. the promised and expected deliverer of the Jewish people.
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.

Get the Moshiach mug.by Frenzor May 25, 2020
Get the Masiachi mug.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
