Jewish Messiah

The Jewish Messiah, or Mashiach, or Moshiach, has traditionally referred to a future Jewish king from the Davidic line who will be "anointed" (in Hebrew, mashiach ("messiah") means "anointed" with holy olive oil) and inducted to rule the Jewish people. In Standard Hebrew the Messiah is often referred to as ??? ????? Méle? haMa?ía? (Tiberian Hebrew Méle? hamM??îª?), literally "anointed king".
