Scholars debate whether one of these people kills someone, or is killed, in the Dead Sea Scrolls text 4Q285, which is nicknamed for a “Pierced” one. In a parable, Joshua ben Levi meets one of these people “at the gates of Rome.” The Sefer Zerubbabel (“seffer zuh-ROO-buh-bell”) describes one of these people being killed by the bug-eyed king Armilus, who is then killed by another of them. Rabbinical texts identify two to three of the “Four Craftsmen” in Zechariah with these people and distinguish an unfortunate “ben Joseph” one from the son of the warrior Hephzibah (“HEP-zih-buh”). The only non-Jew to be called one of these people was Cyrus the Great. One of these people from the line of David defeats Gog and Magog in Ezekiel. For 10 points, name these “anointed ones,” the last of whom will build the Third Temple and serve as a Jewish savior. ■END■
ANSWER: Jewish Messiahs [or moshiakh or mashiakh or meshikhim; accept sprout of Jesse or Son of Man; accept Son of David until “David” is read; accept anointed ones until read; accept Messiah ben Joseph; prompt on kings or rulers or equivalents; prompt on saviors until read]
