Mireille Hadas-Lebel, « Depuis quand existe-t-il un messianisme juif ? », Bulletin du Centre de recherche français à Jérusalem, ID : 10670/1.b50i1x
From when is there a Jewish Messianism?Contrary to a common belief, the Messiah is not found in the Hebrew Bible. What has been called “messianism” is eschatology, hope for a better future or later interpretations given to obscure verses. The messianic idea is clearly linked to historic circumstances due to the disappointment caused by the instauration of illegitimate kinship in the time of the Hasmoneans and of Herod. It developped against Roman rule in the beginning of the first century in certain Jewish circles. It really became part of the Jewish creed after the destruction of the Temple in the year 70, as testified by Jewish apocalypses (II Baruch, IV Esdras) probably written like John 's Book of Revelation around 100, and made its way in Judaism till our days bringing both misfortunes and consolation.
