What is th e mea ning o f sh alom? T he use o f th e word is quitevaried and c omplicated in the Old Testament. Although the basic meaning of shalom is ‘wholeness,’ the derivatives of the word are verycomprehensive: welfare, completeness, reward, prosperity, satisfaction,health, and so for th. So it is not easy to set its meanings in orde r. Moreover, scholars vary in their opinions of the meaning of the word. Nevertheless, the interpretations given it by most scholars can begenerally classified into two categories. One way to understand thevarious meanings of shalom is in terms of ‘relationship, ’ and the other isin terms of ‘state.’ The meanings of shalom, therefore, can be grasped interms of both ‘relationship’ and ‘state.’On the basis of the two categories, this study intends to analyze themeanings of shalom and its theological significance in the prophetictexts. First, the various opinions of scholars are reviewed in order toset out the g eneral meanings of shalom and their categories. Then,the meanings of shalom are deciphered within the selected prophetictexts. Finally, two selected messianic texts (Isa 9:6-7 [MT 9:5-6]; Zech9:5-10) are analyzed. I seek to analyze whether the definitions andtheological significance of shalom changed through time, based on whatis emphasized in these two messianic texts, one of which is from the 8thcentury BCE, while the other is from the post-exilic period. In the course of exegesis, first of all, I will show that shalom in themessianic texts refers increasingly more to ‘wholeness’ in relationshipwith God, which can be completed only through His intervention. Ipropose that, although shalom refers to ‘state,’ ‘health,’ ‘prosperity,’it is de fined more w ithin a relationship w ith God, and t hat it saccomplishment rests upon God. This is supported by the fact thatrighteousness (hqdc) and justice (jpvm), representing the relationshipwith God, are closely related with shalom. I suggest that, although the messianic texts predict the coming of a human messiah for bringingshalom to fr uition, his role is limit ed in ope ning the age of God’sshalom. Nevertheless, I assert that his participation in bringing shalom tofruition is necessary, because his limited role functions as a lens throughwhich God’s shalom can be anticipated. Finally, I will str ess that weshould make every effort to accomplish a harmonious ‘relationship’-oriented shalom in a world full of persecution and injustice resultingfrom self-interest.
