i read at the judaism 101 site more about the mosiach and basically it states that the eventual coming of the mosiach is a basic and fundamental part of traditional judaism and is part of rambam's 13 principles of faith
"i believe with perfect faith in the coming of the mosiach, and though he may tarry, still i await him every day" principle 12 of rambam's 13 principles of faith
also stated is that modern scholars suggest that the mesianic concept was introduced later in the history of judaism, during the age of prophets, and that the messianic concept is not mentioned anywhere in the torah but is inherent in traditional judaism.
on my own path i look at symbols and their meanings as the link between all ancient traditions and ways in terms of spiritual knowledge and the concept that there will eventually be the coming of a mosiach and the 12 lost tribes will regather and there will be a return to the golden age of peace is a powerful focus for the future and for now .... let me state that i deeply believe with all my heart and soul that there will be a 'regathering' and it will take place in the 'promised land' and the 'mosiach' will return, but my interpretation of all of this is not from a literal perspective but a symbolic one.
the literal interpretation, again in my view, plays itself out in the world today through division of people, division of faith, hate, and war .... the side of chaos .... another interpretation of the same words, through my view again, can bring people together in one understanding and bring about harmony and peace .... the symbolic role of the 'twins' ....
how do others understand the words "i believe with perfect faith in the coing of the mosiach, and though he may tarry, still i await him every day"? i was hoping that people would share their personal views as well as biblical quotes on where we are today and what our future holds on this concept of the return of the mosiach ....
