In Chapter nine, Job recognizes the chasm that exists between him and God: “ For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together .” Job ’ s regret is that he has no arbiter to act as a go-between ; that Job cannot reconcile himself with God anticipates the need for the Messiah to become incarnate.

The capitalization is used in preference to the idea that the passage references the Messiah.

Christ () ( ancient Greek:, Christós, meaning ' anointed ') is a translation of the Hebrew מ ָ ש ִׁ יח ַ ( Māšîaḥ ), the Messiah, and is used as a title for Jesus in the New Testament.

Christ was originally a title, but later became part of the name " Jesus Christ ", though it is still also used as a title, in the reciprocal use Christ Jesus, meaning " The Messiah Jesus ".

Jesus is not accepted by the majority of Jews as their Messiah.

Christ has now become a name, one part of the name " Jesus Christ ", but originally it was a title ( the Messiah ) and not a name ; however its use in " Christ Jesus " is a title.

Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied in the Hebrew Bible, referred to as the " Old Testament " in Christianity.

The central tenet of Christianity is the belief in Jesus as the Son of God and the Messiah ( Christ ).

The Christian view of Jesus as Messiah goes beyond such claims and is the fulfillment and union of three anointed offices ; a prophet like Moses who delivers God's commands and covenant and frees people from bondage, a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek overshadowing the Levite priesthood and a king like King David ruling over Jews, and like God ruling over the whole world and coming from the line of David.

Christians believe that Christianity is the fulfillment and successor of Judaism, retaining much of its doctrine and many of its practices including monotheism, the belief in a Messiah, and certain forms of worship like prayer and reading from religious texts.

Christadelphians believe that Jesus is the promised Jewish Messiah, in whom the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament find their fulfilment.

The concept of the Messiah is important in Christianity.

In the Book of Malachi, Elijah's return is prophesied " before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord ," making him a harbinger of the Messiah and the eschaton in various faiths that revere the Hebrew Bible.

The idea of the Messiah as an Arab is also found in another chapter of Gospel of Barnabas:

Matthew's gospel tells how Israel's Messiah is rejected by Israel, withdraws into the circle of his disciples, passes judgment on those who have rejected him so that " Israel " becomes the non-believing " Jews ", and sends the disciples instead to the gentiles.

The title Son of David identifies Jesus as the healing and miracle-working Messiah of Israel ( it is used exclusively in relation to miracles, and the Jewish messiah is sent to Israel alone ); as Son of Man he will return to judge the world ( a fact his disciples recognise but of which his enemies are unaware ); and as Son of God he has a unique relationship with God, God revealing himself through his son, and Jesus proving his sonship through his obedience and example.

The miracle stories in Mark do not demonstrate the divinity of Jesus, as this is an idea not found in that gospel, but rather confirm his status as an emissary of God ( which was Mark's understanding of the Messiah ).

* In Chapter 7: 41-42, and again in 7: 52, John records some of the crowd of Pharisees dismissing the possibility of Jesus's being the Messiah, on the grounds that the Messiah must be a descendent of David and born in Bethlehem, stating that Jesus instead came out of Galilee ( as is stated in the Gospel of Mark ); John made no effort to refute or correct ( nor did he affirm ) this, and this has been advanced as implying that John rejected the synoptic tradition of Jesus's birth in Bethlehem.

Handel is regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time, with works such as Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks and Messiah remaining popular.

The usage here is consistent with the definitions used by Messiah, Griffiths, and Mathematica.

The movement states that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, and generally that he is part of the Trinity, and salvation is only achieved through acceptance of Jesus as one's savior.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries the trend has been towards authenticity ; most contemporary performances show a greater fidelity towards Handel's original intentions, although " big Messiah " productions continue to be mounted.

Handel's Messiah has been described by the early-music scholar Richard Luckett as " a commentary on Christ's Nativity, Passion, Resurrection and Ascension ", beginning with God's promises as spoken by the prophets and ending with Christ's glorification in heaven.

In contrast with most of Handel's oratorios, the singers in Messiah do not assume dramatic roles, there is no single, dominant narrative voice, and very little use is made of quoted speech.

In fact, as Burrows points out, many of Handel's operas, of comparable length and structure to Messiah, were composed within similar timescales between theatrical seasons.

The first published score of Messiah was issued in 1767, eight years after Handel's death, though this was based on relatively early manuscripts and included none of Handel's later revisions.
