Jesus Christ is the designation of Jesus of Nazareth who was an itinerant Jewish prophet from the Galilee in northern Israel. He preached the imminent intervention in human affairs by the God of the Jews, when God would establish his kingdom on earth. The proper name Jesus was Greek for the Hebrew Yeshua (“he who saves”). ‘Christ’ (Greek: Christos) was translated from the Hebrew “meshiach” (messiah). Jesus’ message from the very beginning was that of The Kingdom of God – sometimes called the “Kingdom of Heaven” – was the primary message Jesus proclaimed throughout his early ministry. Jesus’ listeners understood that His message was about a coming kingdom. They misunderstood the timing, but they understood that He taught there was a kingdom coming. This coming Kingdom of God is what Jesus preached for three-and-a-half years prior to His death by crucifixion. The City of Jerusalem is the place where Jesus preached, died and was resurrected. Many also see the city as central to an imminent Second Coming of Jesus.
