Changes

The pouring ( MaSHaH) of oil on the head of a person was often the sign of the chosing of  the person for fulfilling  a role according a role given by God. Kings and prophets were annointed, even Kings that were not of Israel That is why the Persian King Cyrus was an Annointed of God M'SHiiHi (My annointed), as he would be used to bring the exiled people of God back home. As time went on, it was understood that One would come to fullfill the will of God for His people. Sometimes, in the Hebrew and Aramaic Biblical and Post Biblical periods, the Messiah of God was identified by the prophets and the rabbis after them with a Servant who seemed to emerge more clearly from the pages of the Tenakh (Old Testament) as time went on, and sometimes with a "Son".  Yet, there seem to be a parting of the ways as far as the roles of the Messiah as shown in the Scriptures. On one hand, it was clear that He was to be of the line of Abraham, through Judah, and on down through King David, and He too would be endowed with royalty, with honor, and with the obedience due Him and His rule in the affair of men would be absolute, ushering in the time of peace, righteousness, stability, and fruitfulness among the society of men and of nature itself, even changing the very norms of the natural - the lion and the lamb, the child and the viper, together with out harm, in all of God's holy mountain.  On the other hand, both prophet and rabbi recognized, along with this King Messiah, the son of David, there was someone else, someone hidden, then revealed, bit by bit, only to be rejected, not only by the kings of the earth, but by His own people, but in some strange way, only dimly realized, His rejection was the very Will of God and the purpose of it was to bear sins and transgression for His own people, to sacrifice Himself to bring forgiveness and healing, to die. But even more dimly, they would see His life regained once again and because of that a benefit to the world to all that come to Him that would receive it and the way of God through Him. These "two Messiahs" remains two for orthodox Judaism, with by far, the emphasis on the Royal King Messiah, whereas in Christianity, they find their resolution the Death and Resurrection of the One Messiah,Jesus of Nazareth.  Commenting on the Son of Psalm 2, "The Rabbis have said that this means the Messiah, the Son of David, who is to come quickly in our time. The Holy One will say to him: ‘Ask of me, and I will give it to you,’ as it is said... ‘this day I have begotten you; ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance.’ And because he saw the Messiah, the Son of Joseph, who was killed… I will ask you for nothing more than life…" (Sukka 52a) Here in summary are some of the two lines of prophetic Scriptures, the one of Messiah ben David, and the other of Messiah ben Yosef.
