Description of the Jewish messiah - a future king like David, one of his descendants, would reestablish the Davidic kingdom and make Israel once more a great and glorious independent state, the envy of all other nations. He will be a mighty warrior and skilled politician, like David. The more apocalyptic Jews believed that the future kingdom would be no run-of-the-mill political system, but rather a kingdom of God, a utopian state with no evil, pain, or suffering.
