Ep 5. So That Seeing They May Not See

In episode 5 of Messiah season 1, titled "So That Seeing They May Not See," tensions rise as the world becomes increasingly skeptical of Al-Masih, the enigmatic figure claiming to be the Messiah. In Texas, Reverend Rampling struggles to come to terms with his own doubts about Al-Masih, even as his church becomes a hub for the rapidly growing movement of believers.

Meanwhile, Aviram, the Israeli intelligence agent tasked with tracking Al-Masih, grapples with the elusive nature of his target. As he delves deeper into Al-Masih's past, Aviram begins to suspect that the man's motives may be more sinister than he first believed.

As the world watches and waits for Al-Masih to reveal his true identity and purpose, tensions mount in the Middle East. In Syria, a group of refugees take matters into their own hands and attempt to cross the border into Israel, with the help of Al-Masih and his followers. But as they approach the border, they are met with violence and resistance from the Israeli army.

In Washington D.C., CIA officer Eva Geller continues to gather evidence about Al-Masih's activities and supporters. But as she digs deeper, she begins to uncover a web of intrigue and deception that leads her down a dangerous path.

As the episode unfolds, viewers are left wondering who Al-Masih really is, and what his true intentions are. Is he a savior, a fraud, or something else entirely? As the world becomes increasingly divided, with some seeing Al-Masih as a threat and others as a miracle, one thing is clear: the Messiah is a force to be reckoned with, and no one knows what he will do next.
