Messiah Messiah or “anointed one”‚ the one promised by God to be the Deliverer of Israel. “Those who fight against the Lord will be shattered. He thunders against them from heaven (1 Samuel 2:10).

Scripture tells us that when Joshua and the Israelites arrived at the gates of Jericho‚ they could not enter. The walls of the city were too steep for any one person to climb.
