The concept of the savior in the divine laws (Judaism as an example)

Abstract

The concept of a savior transcends all laws, prevalent in both man-made and heavenly religions, capturing the hearts and minds of followers to become a global idea. It embodies the common dream of humanity, rooted in the hope of oppressed peoples for a global reformer who brings justice and prosperity. The research focuses on the hypothesis that Jewish faith centers around the anticipation of a savior, linked psychologically to the historical suffering of Jews during periods of occupation and captivity. This belief transforms from a mere idea into a doctrinal constant, emphasized in teachings and rituals, expressing a desire for the arrival of a savior to bring justice to a world filled with injustice and oppression. The study clarifies the features of the waiting concept in Jewish religion by citing and studying sacred texts in the Old Testament (Torah). Utilizing a descriptive and analytical approach, the research highlights the entrenched nature of the savior concept in the psyche of every Jewish individual, examining its effects on society and rituals. The researcher concludes, supported by sacred texts, that the notion of a savior is not just a core element of Jewish faith but is firmly established in the psychological aspects of every Jewish individual, shaped by historical disappointments such as captivity and wars leading to their diaspora.
