Messianic expectations refer to the beliefs and hopes surrounding the arrival of a Messiah, a savior or liberator figure in various religious traditions. In Judaism, the Messiah is anticipated to restore Israel, bring peace, and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. In Christianity, Jesus is viewed as the fulfillment of these expectations, believed to bring salvation to humanity. Different cultures and religions have their own interpretations of the Messiah. For instance, in Islam, Jesus (known as Isa) is also recognized as a significant figure who will return to restore justice. These diverse beliefs reflect the universal longing for redemption and hope in challenging times.
