messiahship
Anointed leader status
Messiahship is the state or condition of being a messiah—a divine or prophetic deliverer.
The term appears primarily in religious contexts discussing whether someone fulfills the role of savior: Jesus's messiahship is central to Christian faith.
It can extend to secular contexts where someone claims or is granted savior-like status: His supporters believed in his political messiahship.
