Bab 145: The Messiah will redeem all who believe

Ickapoo will be freed from guilt by an eternal redeemer.

Only the Messiah himself consummates all history, in the sense that he alone redeems, completes, creates its relation to the Messianic. (Benjamin, 1978: 312)

The above quote posits the Messiah as the culmination of history, all the injustices of worldly life will be righted and all the oppressed classes will be redeemed by the Messiah as the Messiah completes history and will represent the culmination of Messianic time which history is moving inexorably towards.

For this reason nothing historical can relate itself on its own account to anything Messianic.(Benjamin 1978: 312)
