Messiah = Messenger?
Not intending to argue, just point out a couple things. Messiah (meshiach) literally means "annointed". "Annointed" is sometimes used to mean "appointed" (no pun). This can obviously carry connotations of a "messenger" (e.g. an "appointed [representative]"). This literal meaning can be clearly seen in Leviticus for example ("annointed priest"). Malak is the word that literally means "messenger". It is the most commonly used word for "messenger" and is also used as an expression for angels. Just some facts and thoughts. If you're interested in discussing this, we can do it here or you can hit up my talk page. Be well!! Vassyana 18:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
