All religions are waiting for The Savior King at the end of time, there are many ways to wait, but the idea is the same.

This book focuses specifically on Judaism and its sources, because Judaism is the cradle of the Abrahamic monotheistic religions.

In the Jewish sources, opinions full of contradictions about The Savior King are received, so here is the rabbi Haim Mevlagin describing the coming of The Savior King and saying: "I will be sitting in my court preoccupied with the Torah, and then my wife suddenly and panickedly pushes me and says: Haim! Are you sitting here preoccupied with the Torah? And The Savior King had come! I cleared my throat 3 timeses and asked, "Where did you get this from?" My wife says to me, "Come, go out to the market and you will see, for everyone has gone out towards The Savior King, even the child in his cradle has not waited," And we benefit from this, that when The Savior King comes, no one will doubt that he is the true Savior King.

On the contrary, Rabbi Schaborch says that the true king (King Ben David) will also be subject to criticism, and we will not accept him until he proves that he is the true Savior King, and we become sure that he is the awaited king, just as Moses was forced to prove that he is the true Savior and no one else. Hence it is clear that our Savior King will be faced with doubt and suspicion, because there are many people who falsely claimed to be the Savior King, such as Shabtai Tsvi, whose name the Lord wiped out.

What a strange contradiction, which makes me wonder, which of the two groups is truer? Will The Savior King be confronted with doubt or not?

In return for this, the rabbi Maimonides wrote in the document of Yemen: Know that The Savior King whose identity is unknown, and it will not be said about him that he is the son of so-and-so and from the family of so-and-so, but there will come a man who has not seen before, and that the miracles and proofs that will appear on his hands are the proof of his sincerity...."

While the rabbi Maimonides is the same one who wrote in the Torah in his Mishnah: Do not think that The Savior King must bring proofs and miracles, and bring things into this world, or revive the dead, and similar things that fools and idiots say, for this is not the case, for here is the rabbi Aqifa, one of the greatest sages of the Mishnah, and the bearer of the seals of King Barkokhaba, who says of Barkokhba that he is the Savior King. He and all the wise men of his time were under the illusion that he was the Savior King, and when he was killed by sins and sins, it became clear to everyone that he was not the Savior King, and the wise men did not ask him for neither proof nor miracle.

Which leads me to wonder again and again, are the miracles and proofs that will appear on his hands the proof of his sincerity, or did he join the sect of idiots talked about by Rabbi Maimonides?

We have divided this book into three chapters:

In the first chapter, we dealt with the nature of The Savior King in various Jewish sources.

In the second chapter, we dealt with the doctrine of the Savior King among all the major Jewish communities.

In the third chapter, we dealt with the subject of people who claimed to be the Savior King or the awaited Messiah.

This book quotes from various Jewish sources, and if there is praise or slander of some holy figures, it is not from us and we have nothing to do with it, but it is honesty in copying and translating.
