Expecting The Anointed One

The woman said, "I know that the Messiah is coming, the one who is called the Christ. When he comes, he will teach everything to us." (John 4:25 CEB)

Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel." (Luke 2:28-32 NIV)

Was there an expectation that the Anointed One is coming soon during the time of Christ? Just as there is an expectation that Jesus will come back soon today.

After those sixty-two weeks the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the coming ruler will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come with a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations are decreed. (Daniel 9:26 CSB)
