I also want to draw your attention to one other thing that needs to be better exposed, which relates closely to this matter of The Messiah. It is that the Greek word for mashiach is christos. When we translate the Hebrew to English it literally means “anointed one”. So, both mashiach and cristos mean “anointed one”. The historical reality is that in the Old Testament era when Greek speakers used the term christos, they meant it in the same way Hebrews did when they used the term mashiach; it was referring to an Israelite king or prophet. Even more, once Yeshua was born and later revealed Himself, and a few Jewish Synagogues in the Holy Land and the Diaspora began to understand who He was, it was then that the term The Messiah took hold, still using a similar term (ha mashiach). So, it is no surprise that His followers became known as Messianics… mashiach-anics to coin a word). In fact, we’re told that it was in Antioch where they first called themselves by this name. But, Church doctrine revised history to say that they started calling themselves “Christians”, and we’ll even find that word edited into our Bibles. This is incorrect; such a term never existed the New Testament era. Let me say it this way: Christians and cristos are not the same thing. The early Believers never called themselves Christians. Rather, at one point they did start calling themselves Messianics, indicating people who followed Yeshua. Tom Bradford
