Examination of the Evolutionary Trends of Salvation and Messianic Beliefs in the Jewish Religion until the Era of Dispersion

The concept of "salvation" and the "appearance of the Messiah" is one of the most important teachings among the Jews, which researchers have addressed from various perspectives, but it seems that all aspects of it have not been thoroughly explored. One of these aspects is the examination of the evolution of this doctrine among the Jewish people, which has been accompanied by intensity and weakness throughout the ups and downs of Judaism's history, and has undergone significant changes. The advancing research employs a descriptive-analytical method and data collection in a library-style manner to revisit the history of the Jews from the beginning to the time of dispersion, examining the development of this doctrine among the Jews. The research findings suggest that within the Jewish community, during this period, the concept of a savior initially had a transcendent nature with earthly and material functions. Throughout this time, due to various events and incidents, the perspective on the savior and the concept of salvation evolved from a transcendent state, which was the salvation by Yahweh, to the belief in the advent of a human savior with an eschatological outlook.
