R. Jose the Galilean (pre-Hadrianic) says:
Also, the Messiah’s name is called Peace, for it is
written (Isa. 9:5) “Everlasting Father,
Prince (called) Peace.”
[Pereq ha-Shalom
(Chapter on Peace)]
In connection with the saying of R. Jose the Galilean
quoted above, concerning Messiah’s name, stands this further statement of the
same Rabbi:
Great is peace,
for in the hour when the King-Messiah is manifested to Israel, he will begin
speaking with words of peace, as it is
written (Isa. 52:7), “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that proclaimeth peace.”
[Derekh Erets Zuta, Chap. 11 (the “Chapter on Peace”);
M. Higger, op. cit., p. 101, and
note, p. 148; Lev. R., Chap. 9.]
