The term "Messianic" refers to beliefs and practices related to a Messiah, a savior or liberator figure in various religious traditions. In Judaism, the Messiah is expected to be a future leader who will restore Israel and bring peace. In Christianity, Jesus Christ is recognized as the Messiah who fulfills Old Testament prophecies. Messianic movements often emphasize the coming of a redeemer and the establishment of a new era of peace and justice. Messianic Judaism combines Jewish traditions with the belief in Jesus as the Messiah, creating a unique expression of faith that honors both Jewish heritage and Christian beliefs.
