ly quoted in Targum, Talmud Sanhedrin 98b)

The Messiah [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)]—as it is written, and the spir-
it of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and under-
standing, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge of
the fear of the Lord... Rabbi Alexandri said: "This teaches that He
loaded him [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] with good deeds and suffering as
a mill [is laden]. [Isaiah, 11:2] (Talmud, Sanhedrin 93b)
