Messiah Season 1, a Netflix series, explored the life and times of Al-Masih (A.K.A. Payam Golshiri, also known as Mehdi Dehbi) during its first season. He claimed to be the Second Coming Of Christ.

Although the Netflix finale did not provide conclusive evidence that the character was credible or a conman, it answered a lot of viewers’ questions about Al-Masih and suggested that he might not be the only one with such powers.

The final episode, “The Wages Of Sin”, reveals that the character has some powerful, possibly divine powers. He can even bring back the dead. Al-Masih (Tomer Sisley) and Aviram Dahan (ex-Mossad agent) board a plane in which they are traveling.

The U.S. government shoots it down. Al-Masih wakes up in a field of flowers in the middle of the desert. A young shepherd asks him what happened to him. It turns out that Al-Masih, uninjured from the crash, has resurrected his body.

What is Messiah Season 1 about?

Messiah‘s synopsis reads: “When Eva Geller, a CIA officer, discovers that Mehdi Dehbi has gained international attention through acts causing public disorder, she starts an investigation into his roots.

The charismatic figure continues to attract followers, who claim he performs miracles. Geller must unravel whether he is truly a divine entity or a con artist capable of destabilizing the geopolitical order of the world.”

Arabic speakers also saw what they believe to be a plot spoiler in the name and character of the main character. Al-Masih could be a reference to Al-Masih ad–Dajjal, an Antichrist-like figure also known as “the deceiving Messiah”.

Messiah Season 1 REVIEW AND ending explained

Al-Masih does a miracle during the finale of Netflix’s “Messiah.” While one scene suggests that he has divine powers, others suggest that he’s a conman who engages the entire world in the largest grift of all.

Eva Gellar (Michelle Monaghan) learns that the so-called messiah was actually born to a grandfather, who taught him how to con men to survive in their village. This is a backstory Al-Masih actually confirms. Another scene suggests he may have had mental health issues in the past. This seems insignificant when compared with the evidence of resurrection.

Is Al-Masih an Antichrist?

Let’s answer the most important question regarding the ending of season 1 of Messiah. Since before they watched the Netflix series, many have wondered if Al-Masih was the Antichrist. This is because Al-Masih in the Quran is supposedly the Antichrist.

I haven’t read the Quran, and I don’t consider myself a religious person. However, I do believe in God.

We don’t know the answer! Al-Masih could be the Antichrist, according to the Quran. His actions in Netflix’s series are more in line with the Bible’s Messiah.

It appears that he is bringing back people in the final scenes from season 1 of Messiah. This does not look very Antichrist-like. It could also be an indication that he is trying to convince people that he is the Messiah according to the Bible.

Is Jibril Medina really the Messiah?

This is certainly possible. He is the one in the Netflix series who experiences the most trials and tribulations because of his faith. It’s very similar to what Jesus Christ, the original Messiah, did according to the Bible.

But, Jibril being the true Messiah would support the theory that he’s the antithesis to Al-Masih, who would then be the Antichrist.

We don’t know what the future holds, and Jibril could “just” be a true believer.

Are the Messiah series a commentary on Islam versus Christianity?

People have spoken of the series as focusing only on Christianity and Islam. This is obviously not true. It’s also about Judaism.

The Messiah series is actually set in Syria, Israel and the USA. The majority of the people living in these places are Christian, Jewish, and Muslim.

Is Al-Masih a politician?

Are all religions able to have a political agenda? It doesn’t matter if you are pro-life, or want marriage between a man/woman. You don’t even have to sign a Bible in order to be sworn into office as President. The influence of religion on politics has been there for a long time, but rarely in a positive way.

All religions emphasize love and understanding. It’s all about taking care of others and treating yourself and those around us in the best possible way.

All that said, Al-Masih does clearly have a political agenda. He immediately requests the US president withdraw all troops. This is a very politically driven move, even though it should have been a loving religious one.

We also know Al-Masih’s real identity and his affiliations; an anarchist who seeks to disrupt the order of the world.

There are many more questions than these, but they represent the most common ones we’ve seen. Hopefully the Q&A above helped you understand the Messiah ending.
