I am wondering if the Moshiach in Judaism is supposed to be returning in the sense that it is a soul from another figure, specifically King David.
I ask because I see this pattern everywhere including Christianity and current Jewish offshoots. I was wondering if the “returning” element of the Moshiach that I see outside (and even sometimes inside) of Judaism is happening because the concept is already cooked into the true rabbinical Judaism. Does anyone know the answer or where I could get one?
