However, Jewish belief is that there is, at all times, at least one person who does live up to the standard God sets. When the time for the Messiah is here, that person will step forward. If that person dies, then there is another person up to God's standards, available, if there is need.Interesting. Can you tell me where that is written? I find that the more I understand ancient Jewish beliefs and tradition, the better I understand the teachings of Yeshua and Paul in the New Testement.

It's been a while since I learned that -- may even be my childhood. I want to say Maimonides had something to do with it -- certainly belief that Messiah will come is part of his 13 Principles of Faith -- but I cannot say for certain.
I don't have time to research it at this moment, but I will, if I remember, when I have the time.
