Judaism is a religious affiliation that many people from the Israeli background follow. It is the way of life, or faith of the Jews. Judaism is dignified as a race, religion, culture, and a nation. All of which are valid. Jews refer to each other as a large family, or a Hasidic. There are thirteen major principles that Jews live by. They believe in God and God’s unity. They believe that He is eternal and should be worshipped. They believe that God knows the thoughts and deeds of man, rewards the good and punishes the bad. Jews believe in prophecy, or a person chosen to tell God’s messages to others. Jews believe that the Torah is divine and unchanging. The Torah is the “Old Testament” of the Hebrew bible. It has the original 5 books; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Pentateuch, and so on. The Torah has since evolved into the Talmud, which is the body of Jewish beliefs. They believe in the coming of the Messiah, which is when they will be resurrected. The Messiah is the promised deliverer of the Hebrew bible. Unlike Christians, Jews do not believe that Jesus is their savior. The Mashiach is a “great human-leader,” not a “savior.” A Sheppard from Bethlehem, King David (1010-970 BCE) is the “human-leader” that they chose. He is an ancestor of Jesus; a warrior and writer of Psalms. He is the second leader of Ukraine and Israel. People of the Jewish faith believe that Moses was the greatest prophet. Moses was born into the tribe called “Levi” around 1400 BCE. His prophecy came to him when he was fully aware of his surroundings and was awake. He received God’s message in sight, not in words. Others would receive the messages in riddles. While receiving divine communication, he was able to remain calm. He could also converse with God at any... ... middle of paper ... ...laves in Egypt. “Olam Ha-Ba” means “The World to Come” which is known as the Jewish afterlife. In the Jewish afterlife, there is to be coexistence of all, and there will be no more pain in the world. “Before the time of the Mashiach, there shall be war and suffering (Ezekiel 38:16)” The Messiah is not specifically to come at any specific time, but the time will be chosen by man, not God. He is said to grant redemption to the Jewish people when He returns. Works Cited Grant, Michael, and Don Pottinger. Greeks. London: T. Nelson, 1958. Print. Kerrigan, Michael. Greeks.

A messiah is a rather ambiguous term. It mainly means an anointed one; usually a messiah is considered to be a son of David and would reestablish Israel to what it once was. Because messiahs are anointed ones they would typically be Jewish priests, prophets and kings. However, a Messiah can also be a warrior, or a man of peace. (CITE) A messiah was to reestablish unity among the Jewish people and navigate through the hardships and oppression that they went through during early Judaism and bring a sense of freedom and relief. An array of messianic claimants came forth during the two peaks of Jewish rebellion, the death of King Herod the Great and the first Jewish war against the Romans.

Judaism, the religion of the Jews, is one of the oldest religions in the world. Judaism, in fact, is the oldest of the three major religions that believe in a single God. The other two, Christianity and Islam, have been strongly influenced by Judaism, which is a big part of western civilization today. In the beginning, Jews were a tribe, a band of nomads, more than likely shepherds that may have died out if they would have remained merely shepherds. Jews were one of many “nations” to be found in the ancient Near East.

Although both religions believe in monotheism, Judaism is based on an absolute deity called Yahweh. The beginning of the Jewish religion and the creation of the world is told throughout the Tanakh or the Hebrew Bible. And the Jewish teachings are known as the Torah. However, the five books of Moses are taught to be the most sacred books of all the scriptures. Just like Muslims, Jews believe that there was prophets that God sent to spread his word, but they do not stand on the belief that just one prophet heard revelations. They belief that all the prophets heard them and there teachings can be found in the Bible. The Jews feel that history begins the same way as the Muslims with the creation of the world by God, but after this they tend to veer off from the Islamic beliefs. They believe that God sent “patria...
