The Messiah according to Judaism will not bring which of the following?

• A. Worldly power
• B. The gift of God's grace
• C. Peace
• D. Knowledge

Answer: (B)

In Judaism, the Messiah is understood as a human leader—descended from David—whose role is to restore Israel, rebuild the Temple, gather the Jewish exiles, and bring an era of world peace and universal recognition of God. This messianic vision emphasizes political and spiritual renewal within the framework of the covenant and Torah observance. The phrase “the gift of God’s grace” is a Christian theological idea about salvation granted through faith, not something the Messiah is described as dispensing as a new attribute. Judaism does speak of God’s mercy and faithfulness, but the Messiah’s purpose is not framed as delivering a separate divine gift of grace. Therefore, the option that the Messiah will not bring is the gift of God’s grace.
