Salvation Myths: Symbol of Nations Demanding a Messiah
Author(s):
Abstract:
There are symbols among various nations which in spite of their differences have common views and aspirations, such as salvation, fight against oppression,and spread of justice and appearance of a Messiah in total despair which has been mentioned as the myth in the nations’ literature. The present paper is an attempt for humans’ major concern that what is myth in the view of mythologists? Is there any conflict between the myths and the Divine teachings? Can we present a public and instinctive message based on these myths from various nations regardless of their color, race, social class, etc.? It seems the common message in all these symbols and myths is the presence of a saving savior in the darkest and most obscure part of nations’ history, especially in the Apocalypse. The purpose of this paper is to prove the hypothesis that the “myths of salvation” are the symbol of demanding aMessiah for the nations. The important point is in the case of being proven, it can be presented as one of the endorsements of humans’ demand for a messiah alongside the religions’ view.
