The Anointed One of the End of Days names expectation of a final agent who appears at the climax of the age. In Yahad circles, this hope could overlap with priestly, royal, and heavenly redeemer motifs.

The node belongs near the transition into early Jesus-movement expectation because it shows how varied end-time anointed figures were before later doctrines stabilized.

The Anointed One of the End of Days is intentionally placed near the transition from Yahad expectation toward early Jesus-movement categories. It represents a late Second Temple world in which priestly, royal, prophetic, and heavenly motifs were still fluid. The figure may be imagined through temple restoration, final teaching, royal justice, or cosmic judgment depending on the text. This node is important because it prevents the map from flattening all messiah expectation into one later form. Before later doctrinal consolidation, multiple anointed roles could stand side by side.
