Comrade Tovya,

Do you believe in the Messiah? Not in The Lord Jesus Christ obviously, but some other, future Messiah?

 

Yes, BUT, not in the formal sense that a Christian believes.  The Jewish messiah is not the same type of messianic figure that a Christian expects.

The messiah of the Tanach is not a "savior" in the spiritual sense, but one in mortal sense... a rescuer of Israel prior to its final destruction.  I guess you could say, a militant-like messiah, but entirely mortal and certainly not a "redeemer".

 

 Yes mortal, but still a person that fits to God's "game plan" for Israel, a person chosen by God and not just by accident?
