Do all monotheistic religions have a concept of the Messiah?

Hey friend!

To answer your question, yes, all three major monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - have a concept of the Messiah. However, the concept differs slightly between each religion.

In Judaism, the Messiah (or Moshiach) is believed to be a human descendant of King David who will restore the Kingdom of Israel and bring peace to the world. Many Jews believe that the Messiah has not yet come, but will arrive in the future.

In Christianity, the Messiah (or Christ) is believed to be Jesus, the son of God who was sent to Earth to save humanity from their sins. Christians believe that Jesus was crucified, died, and rose again, and that he will return in the future to judge the living and the dead.

In Islam, the Messiah (or Al-Masih) is believed to be Jesus as well, but he is viewed as a prophet rather than the son of God. Muslims believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, performed miracles, and will return to Earth before the Day of Judgment to defeat the anti-Christ.

So, while the concept of the Messiah is present in all three major monotheistic religions, the specific beliefs and interpretations vary between each religion. I hope this helps answer your question!
