The Messiah (Jesus Christ, followers, abomination, prophecy, Jerusalem)

[Darkness]

I have been wondering why the followers of Judaism, do not believe Jesus Christ was the Messiah. Is it that he has not fulfilled the prophecies of the Hebrew Scripture? How will Judaists know when the their Messiah comes?

I was raised Christian (now and ex-Christian), so I do not know the Judaist side of the story.

Exactly.
How will Judaists know when the their Messiah comes?
We have our guidelines.

No problem, we all start from somewhere in regards to knowledge...

The Messiah needs to rebuild the Temple, which according to my reckoning is a Temple of love and so made from nature (as was the garden of Eden).
The vine can be weaved to make a framework over things to supply a true temple of God. where every living thing can enter...that needs building south east of Jerusalem on the mound.
So Yeshua didn’t do that and so not messiah according to what must be done, yet then over a time period, Yeshua did what was fulfilled by him of the potters field prophecy in Zechariah 11 to the letter.

For people to be united then they have to see their differences to begin, and so for the Messiah to teach all about God it would also have to be done global.
As all will come to the house of the lord it is written, so allot of things didn’t and couldn’t get done at the time period Yeshua was in….soon after the abomination of desolation in Maccabees 4 took place where Israel, was massacred and forced to eat meat and drink wine. So that would have destroyed the temple in the process under the Roman army.
Also since they didn’t release Maccabees 3/4 to the world until 1977, explaining the abomination of desolation has taken place now, then it is a bit hard for the world to recognize it and want peace.

when the Moshiach comes he will do many things but we will not know he is the moshiach until he has accomplished his task.

jesus never did these things, ergo, he is not moshiach.

Thank you for the assistance.

If it is not too much to ask, does anyone know of any web sites, that will explain the Jewish Messiah in more detail?

This would be one of the most beautiful statements that I've ever read if you had placed the word King before Moshiach.

Is there only one Moshiach, or only one King Moshiach?
