==== "Rabbi" - Teacher of Torah ==== ''Expanded topic - [[Moshiach's Torah - Torosoh Shel Moshiach]]'' In addition to being a "king," the Messiah will also be a rabbi who will teach Torah to all the Jewish people, as the Rambam states: "That king who will arise from the seed of [[King David|David]] will be wiser than Solomon. And he will be a great prophet, close to the level of Moses our teacher. Therefore, he will teach all the people and instruct them in the way of God. And all the nations will come to hear him." Through Messiah, the root of the Torah will be revealed as it is above the root of Atzilus - Chochmah Stimaah, which is the inner secrets, mysteries, and reasons of the Torah. Messiah, who will reveal the Torah as it is in its root in the Essence of the Creator, will reveal it in a manner of sight, as the verse states: "Your eyes shall see your teacher," and in this he will reveal the essence of the Torah that will be revealed to all Israel equally. This is why one of the prophecies is that "they shall not teach each man his neighbor... for they shall all know Me" (and this aspect is also related to Messiah being a "king" because his teaching of the people is not through knowledge and comprehension but through sight, "in the light of the king's countenance"). Through teaching in this manner, he will be able to teach all of Israel. This revelation will come through the King Messiah because the root of Messiah's soul is from the inner dimension of Atik Yomin, from the Essence of the Creator. However, along with this, while he will bestow knowledge and Torah upon the Jewish people, he himself will be elevated above them because "to him personally much more will be revealed without end or limit than what he will be able to reveal to the people," and because of this, he will be king over them and exalted above them. For this role and function, Messiah is described as "[[nasi]]" (prince/leader) and by the title "rabbi" and is even called "shepherd." For this reason, his leadership is attributed to King David because specifically in King David did kingship shine in an internal manner. However, this function is not his main purpose. His main aspect is being a "king," and nevertheless, after he completes his role as king "to break the arm of the wicked" and "to repair the world," his main activity will be teaching Torah to all the people, and then his main purpose will be to teach Torah to all the people.
