I suspect some were looking for a prophet type, or Priestly sort of individual....perhaps with the idea of fighting Rome to remove their hardships....so they could appoint him their Kingly Messiah.

No, I mean what was the criteria that one had to meet to be eligible? Like, for instance, think about running for President. You must be 35. You must be a citizen. Think of the controversy surrounding the question of where Obama was born.

As I asked prior...what do you want to know this for?

At any rate google it and you'll find much from the Jewish perspective on what requirements needed to be met .....but do keep in mind most then didn't know what those were for the most part...mostly the religious teachers.

But I think we're pretty much done here....you're going in circles, though no doubt you'll say otherwise.......but there are too many times you are given the answers to what you seek only to then say you meant something else, or those on the thread don't understand what your asking....or you re-frame your question til it's lost in translation....when in fact it looks an awful lot like you're the one who needs to think through your questions and then remain on point..... .
