An Hebrew word for savior in the old testament primarily refers to liberators and/or
liberation, i.e. assistance.
A liberator is typically someone with the wherewithal to rescue people in grave
danger when they themselves are helpless to do anything about it.
Jesus is a liberator in more ways than one. He's primarily on track to take full
political control of the land of Israel and establish a theocratic kingdom; which of
course will eventuate in many beneficial reforms and improvements.
● Luke 1:32-33 . .The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he
will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.
Best of all: Jesus has all the powers and abilities of the supreme being at his disposal
to protect his country from foreign invasion so Israel will finally, once and for all, become
a safe place to dwell.
But before taking the reins, Jesus had to address a very important issue, to wit: his
people's religious association with God is based upon the covenant that the Jews
entered into with God per Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. That
covenant placed many of Jesus' countrymen right smack in the line of fire of the
curses for non compliance listed at Lev 26:14-39, Deut 27:15-26, and Deut 28:15-68
● Matt 1:20-21 . . An angel of The Lord appeared to him in a dream and said:
Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because
what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you
are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.
So Jesus was put on track to not only protect his people from foreign invasion, but
also to protect them from those curses.
