The Jews were expecting an actual king, with an actual throne and an earthly kingdom.
2 Samuel 7:12–13
Micah 5:2
"out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
...In the same way, non-Catholic Christian's, tend to expect something equally outrageous in regards to revelation's armageddon. But armageddon has already come to pass with the destruction of the 2nd temple, and the slaughter of the Jews at that time by the Roman empire.

The Anointed...….. They certainly were. As the messenger of God said to the young 13 year old Mary, You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The LORD God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end."
Mary, who was born in 20 B.C., was only 7 years old when her father, Heli, a Davidic and Hasmonean prince, called Alexander Helios III, was executed in 13 B.C., in the world where many Davidian aspirants, as the “young lions of Judah”, were eliminated by the cruel and tyrannical King Herod the Great., Etc.
It is said that after the death of her father, Alexander Helios=Heli, “who was a father of renowned,” the seven-year-old Mary [who is believed to be the grand-daughter of Mark Antony] was removed from her mother and taken north into the Greek speaking land of Galilee where she was raised under the protection of the Jewish zealots whose aim it was, to throw off the yoke of Roman rule and establish a descendant of King David, back on the throne of Israel.
But more of that another time. You go on to Quote 2 Samuel 7: 12-13; which has a two fold reference, one was to Solomon of who we read in 2 Samuel 7: 12-17; When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, [Solomon] and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a Temple for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house [David's house] and your kingdom [David's Kingdom] will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.'"

The Anointed.........The battle of Armageddon is yet to come, we are now at the closing of the 6th Day when the war to end all wars is to take place, after which, the Great Sabbath of one thousand years begins.
The weekly Sabbath, said Paul, in
Colossians 2: 17; was but a shadow of the reality in the future, which is the Great Sabbath, the Lords day of one thousand years.
From the Book of Jubilees 4: 30; "And He (Adam) lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day in the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree of knowledge: "On the day thou eat thereof ye shall die." For this reason, Adam did not complete the years of that first day; for He died during it." Adam died at the age of 930 in the first day.
According to Jewish time, the first destruction of the Temple of Solomon, was 3338 AM, which is 3338 years from Adam. Our time for that destruction of the temple is 587 BC. So adding 587 to 3338, we see that from the birth of Adam to 1 BC=1AD there is 3925 years, add to that the current date, 2019, (3,925+2019=5,944) and we are now living in the 5,944 th year from the birth of Adam (These dates are very ambiguous) which, if one can accept these dates, leaves us another 56 years before the close of the 6th day and the beginning of the 7th, which is the great Sabbath, “The Day of The Lord” the seventh period of one thousand years from the day that Adam ate of the forbidden fruit and died in that first day at the age of 930, which day begins after the greatest period of tribulation that this world has ever seen.
The war to end all wars, The battle of Armageddon.
