Jewish people anticipated an anointed king (Messiah): Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23, 30
The Messiah will rule and reign (Isaiah 9:6)
Before the Messiah arrives, there is a tribulation of suffering for God’s people
A messenger will proclaim the soon arrival of the Messiah
Nations will ally themselves and fight against the Messiah
Jerusalem will be purified and renovated
Jewish people will come back to the land of Israel and the city of Jerusalem
Israel will become the center of the world and people will worship the Messiah there
