Talmud Bavli Sanhedrin on the Powers of the Messiah

"Bar Koziva ruled two-and-a-half years.  He declared to the Rabbis: I am the awaited Messiah!  They said to him: Regarding the Messiah it is written that 'he sniffs and judges'.  Let us see for ourselves whether he can 'sniff and judge'!  Once they saw that he could not 'sniff and judge', they killed him."

-- Talmud Bavli, Sanhedrin 93b


The powers of the Messiah are enhanced by becoming a son of Aaron the priest and performing the incense service in the Tent of Meeting.

Mishnah Sanhedrin on the Mold of the First Adam

"Therefore was man created singly, to teach you that whoever destroys a single life from Israel is considered by Scripture as if he had destroyed an entire world; and that whoever preserves a single life from Israel is considered by Scripture as if he had preserved an entire world. [...]

"And to teach the greatness of the Holy One, Blessed is He: For a man mints many coins from one mold, and they are all similar to one another; but the King of kings, the Holy One, Blessed is He, minted all men from the mold of the First Adam, and not one of them is like his fellow man. Therefore each and every one is obligated to say, 'For my sake was the world created'."

-- Mishnah, Sanhedrin 4:5
