The third most common End Times Prophecy is that after the great global tribulation a Messiah or Christ will come.
 
  The meaning word Messiah and Christ are critically important to understanding the literal nature of this prophecy. Messiah comes from Hebrew (Moshiach) and later Christ comes from Greek (Christos) meaning precisely the same thing -"the Anointed One".
 
  The title and concept of Moshiach (Messiah/Christ) originates from title given for the Kings of Judah and blood descendents of the House of David from around the 11th Century BCE to the end of the 7th Century BCE when Nebuchadnezzar had Zedekiah and all but one of his family (Princess Tamar/Tephi) executed.
 
  A frequent misunderstanding by many Christians is that the title Messiah or Christ is exclusive to Jesus. A similar misunderstanding exists amongst a number of Jewish sects who believe a person “appointed” by God in the tradition of the prophets can also be called Messiah. This is completely untrue. You cannot become a Messiah - you have to be born a Messiah of the bloodline of the House of David. All the Kings descended from the bloodline of the House of David were Messiahs.
 
  Another misunderstanding is equating "messiah = saviour" which is also literally and interpretatively incorrect. A person can be a savior and not be a messiah. But to be a true messiah, you have to be born of the bloodline of the House of David.  
  The third misunderstanding by many Christian sects is the belief that this prophecy is fulfilled other than a flesh and blood person. There is no evidence in historical and credible traditional prophecy to suggest that the Messiah appears as anything other than flesh and blood.  
  While many religious leaders over the centuries have claimed to be the “Messiah”, this common prophecy is actually very difficult to fulfill, mainly because the only credible evidence of the continuation of the bloodline exists in the legends of Jeremiah taking Princess Tamar/Tephi to Ireland to the Holly High Kings, the oldest priest bloodlines of history and the bloodline of the Messiah Kings continuing in their veins.
 
  So in order for this common prophecy to be fulfilled in its accurate literal and non-literal sense, the person must possessing within their veins the bloodline of the House of David.
