The office of Messiah is a unique one. Messiah comes from the Hebrew word Mashiach, which means “anointed.” This is also where we get the word “Christ.” The Messiah is spoken of throughout the Scriptures, starting in Genesis 3:15 and continuing through the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings.
The picture gets clearer as we read God’s word, and yet many have usurped the title or been declared messiahs by others. None has come even close to having the credentials Yeshua has because He is the only Messiah who checks all the boxes.
The ultimate false messiah is known as the Antichrist, and he will play a key role in the end times. Before we look at what the Bible says about this individual, we should also look at a couple of others who have been disqualified over the centuries.
