Abstract:
One of the claims made by Christians is that Jesus Christ is the Messiah promised by Israelite prophets. In contrast, the Jews deny this, claiming that the promised Messiah has not appeared yet, and he is still awaited. In this paper, by investigating the Old Testament, Talmud, and the cabalist mysticism, we try to investigate the Messiah's characteristics in these texts, and check whether they conform to Jesus. What is also discussed here is whether we may find traces of the Messiah's divinity in these sources
