messianic

Ten thousand years later, Paul Atreides will become the messianic hero of “Dune.”

What do we know about Trump’s messianic martyr appeal for his White Christian right-wing followers?

When, in preparation for this interview, I spoke to over a dozen people who know him well, including former prime ministers, the word they most frequently attached to him was "messianic".

He pledged to serve all Americans if elected then recounted, in a subdued, but almost messianic tone, his brush with a spray of bullets.

The concern is that the attempt on his life will propel him to new levels of messianic power over his slavish followers.
