"Technically, the whole Messiah concept is a late development in Judaism. It was a tactic used by Rabbis of the time to help Jews accept the injustice of Roman occupation. So too is the idea of resurrection."
I think there is some truth to that according to my studies, any other ideas??? I think the Messiah idea may have had some influence around the Maccabean time, just prior to Rome's occupation, as well but I am not sure...
