MessianismeLe messianisme, sur le plan religieux, est la croyance en un messie, un sauveur ou rédempteur. Les religions ont souvent un concept de messie, comme le messie juif, le Christ du christianisme, Îsâ (Jésus de Nazareth) dans l'islam, l'avatar Kalki hindou et le maitreya bouddhiste. Le nom messie en français (en arabe Massih, en anglais Messiah) vient de l'hébreu מָשִׁיחַ, mashia'h, qui signifie l'oint, c'est-à-dire la personne consacrée par le rite de l'onction, réalisée par un prophète de Dieu.

Holy anointing oilThe holy anointing oil (shemen ha-mishchah) formed an integral part of the ordination of the priesthood and the High Priest as well as in the consecration of the articles of the Tabernacle (Exodus 30:26) and subsequent temples in Jerusalem. The primary purpose of anointing with the holy anointing oil was to sanctify, to set the anointed person or object apart as qodesh, or "holy" (Exodus 30:29). Originally, the oil was used exclusively for the priests and the Tabernacle articles, but its use was later extended to include kings (1 Samuel 10:1).
