Christians counter that Jesus will fulfill these in the Second Coming, but Jewish sources show that the Messiah will fulfill the prophecies outright; in the Bible no concept of a second coming exists.
"If a king arises from the House of David who meditates on the Torah, occupies himself with the commandments as did his ancestor King David, observes the commandments of the Written and Oral Law, prevails upon all Israel to walk in the way of the Torah and to follow its direction, and fights the wars of God, it may be assumed that he is the Messiah. If he does these things and is fully successful, rebuilds the Third Temple on its location, and gathers the exiled Jews, he is beyond doubt the Messiah. But if he is not fully successful, or if he is killed, he is not the Messiah."
esus' genealogy, as we have it in the Christian Scriptures, does not allow him to be the Messiah. This point cannot be stressed strongly enough. No other "prophecies" one thinks Jesus fulfilled are relevant without this crucial brick in the wall.

You fight the freedom of Jesus now and think you are right.
When the new world order establishes a one world religion that is NOT Jesus,
then you will truly know what the word control means and find that you are wrong.
People who desire freedom, and free thinking and love life need no such religious text to guide them.

and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
THERE IS LIBERTY." 2 Corinthians 3:17 (Caps added for emphasis, mine)

Does anyone really believe the Bible was written by someone other than a few men and what THEIR beliefs were??? Come on. If the Bible was from "the word of God" don't you think God would have come out with some addendums or updates in the last 2000 years or so?

Well who knows. Judaism is about National Revelation. We would have to wait and see. You can take this Rabbi's word which goes against mainstream Judaism's view on the Messiah concept. Let's just give it time. I would love to talk to you about this, but I am quite busy now. However, very soon the Holy Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt, and Jews from all corners of the world will once again be living Jewishly and peacefully in Israel. If at that time it is apparent to you that Jesus had anything to do with it, or if you even happen to see him around at that time, meet me in a Jerusalem Café and we will discuss it then.
• The idea of mashiach (messiah) is an ancient one in Judaism • The Jewish idea of mashiach is a great human leader like King David, not a savior • There is much speculation about when the mashiach will come • The Bible identifies several tasks that the mashiach will accomplish • Jews do not believe in Jesus because he did not accomplish these tasks

" For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book:
If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away
his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
Revelations 22: 18-19
God has already given the complete instruction manual.
When Jesus ascended back to His Father after The Resurrection,
The Holy Spirit that had been promised came to earth to help all believers.
It is this Spirit that will guide you into all understanding;
"But the anointing which you have recieved from Him abides in you, and you do not need
that anyone teach you:
but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has
taught you, you will aide in Him." 1 John 2 :27
Jesus did His part by dying on the cross for us. ALONE. Even His Father had to turn His back on His One
and only begotten Son; as all the sins and evil of all time for all eternity were heaped upon Him.
God has given you The Word. He has given The Holy Spirit to help ALL those who ask, help in learning.
It's the wooses and the babies, the self-centered pleasure seeking hedonists: that do not have the
courage and the guts to follow Jesus's path. Your time here on earth is a trial. God's waiting to see what
you do with the life He gave you.
