Puritan Board Freshman
As I was studying John, I noticed John 1:45 where Phillip finds Nathanael and says to him that they found the Messiah, the one that Moses and the prophets wrote about. I know there was a lot of talk about the coming Messiah in Israel at that time due to Roman occupation where even Jewish laymen were familiar with the prophecies concerning the Messiah. But since then, after Jesus, has Christ's coming cooled the Jewish fervor for a Messiah's appearance in the future? Or is it still a major theme in orthodox synagogues?
