The article explains the meaning of the term "Messianic Jews" through a literal analysis of each word component. The term "Jew" is analyzed first. The root of the word originates from Judah, biblical character, son of Jacob and party to God's covenant. The analysis talks about what Jewish identity is and presents some of significant views on the issue. The article follows then to focus on the term "messiah", originally a royal title which later went on to mean "chosen" and became closely associated with Jesus Christ. The analysis of those two word components serves as a basis for explaining the movement as that of Jews who accept Jesus Christ as a messiah – a movement which has successfully developed since its inception in the 1890s.
