Dear Friends,

I don't want to argue semantics or commit the phoenitic fallacy but I
couldn't help notice the close phoenetic similarity between MASHIACH
(annointed one; messiah) and MOSHIYAH (deliverer; saviour). Could this
similarity in words have developed the idea of the Messiah as a deliverer?
