The idea of 'maschiach' (which means 'anointed') originated in Judaism. The Jewish Maschiach will be a normal, human man; he must fulfill the 23 Jewish messianic prophecies before he dies. Christianity took the concept, changed it, and declared that Jesus was the 'messiah'. As he does not fulfill any of the Jewish criteria for 'maschiach', though, he is not the Jewish messiah. The Jewish messiah is likely to be a man, but there are some Jews who argue that it could be a woman. There is a belief that in every generation, a potential messiah is born. But Jews do not actively 'wait' for their messiah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

∙ 11y agoWith God all things are possible: There comes a time when the rules, stipulations, stringent beliefs of old will be reconsidered so that, yes, Messiah could be a woman. Many religions may not want to accept such a truth; however, if and when it is so, such truth will be made known to all.
