@Eirikvi Kind regards.
@davidrieff @nils_gilman It's a theological category; one of major significance to the Overton Window. Moltmann: "The messianic hope was never the hope of the victors and the rulers. It was always the hope of the defeated & the ground down. The hope of the poor is nothing other than the messianic hope."

“For the rebirth of messianic thinking out of the catastrophe of Christian humanism in World War I, we are indebted to Martin Buber, Ernst Bloch, Frank Rosenweig, Walter Benjamin, Theodore Adorno, Gershom Scholem, Margarete Susman and, after World War II, Karl Löwith and Jacob Taubes. Out of the ruins of historical rationality they rescued hope as a theological category. Without their messianic thinking, eschatology today is literally unthinkable." Jüergen Moltmann
