The Jewish people for thousands of years have looked forward to the coming of their Mashiach, the hope of Israel. The Torah describes King Messiah: I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
