I think Jews need a different Messiah than Jesus, and that is what I pray for, but one thing that is irrefutably clear, Jesus was the most famous influential Jew that ever existed, and what made him so successful was being born in total poverty, born in a barn like an animal, being stripped down naked and flogged, wearing a crown of thorns, the crown of a King, and being nailed to a cross.
Christian theologians have to agree, that crucifying Jesus, was the best thing for him and the whole world, because they believe his blood atones for sin, as a sacrificial lamb, now billions believe the guy rose from the dead.
He can't rise from the dead unless he dies, and it had to be violent, like the Israelites putting blood of the lamb on doorposts in Egypt to save their first born, or levitical priesthood violently slaying an unblemished lamb.
Let me share something a little more Jewish. Joseph of Egypt essentially told his brothers that it was good they acted like psychopaths, wanted to kill him, decided to sell him as a slave instead, drenched his coat in blood, broke Jacob's heart by saying he is dead, and it was even good Joseph was in prison as a falsely accused sexual predator, because it caused the Hebrew slave and convicted sex offender criminal in prison, to rise from total miserable status, to controlling the most powerful Empire on earth.
So much control did he have over Pharaoh, his house, all his possession me (when Egyptians normally didn't eat with Hebrews, because of a superiority complex) that when anyone went to Pharaoh, he said "go to Joseph".
Also, Joseph told his brothers that their vicious hatred for him, to the point of selling an innocent blood brother into slavery, a completely sick move, that most criminals wouldn't do to a blood brother, who hadn't even wronged them, he said "it's okay, what you meant for evil, God meant for good".
My point being, sometimes the most terrible things happening to people, especially Jews, (just read the book of Job), is what gives them rich exaltation, Messiah type status, power, influence, glory in the next life, a legacy that endures, even when the suffering is so much that it kills them, it can actually make them very powerful.
Anne Frank, if she hadn't died in the Holocaust would not be an extremely successful author, with a name probably almost everyone knows.
Franz Werful, a Jewish author, wrote the song of Bernadette, that became a movie that won many awards, only because of the Holocaust, because he never became Christian, but believed a Jewish woman, a dead one at that, "Lady of Lourdes", saved his life from the Nazis, so he promised her he would "sing the song of Bernadette".
Victor Frankl became an extremely influential Jew, largely because of the Holocaust. Let's not forget, Israeli Prime ministers have declared that the Jews would not have their nation in the holy land, were it not for so many Jews dying in the Holocaust.
In fact, the Holocaust has stirred up so much unflinching American support for Israel, that Jews could throw hand grenades through random Arab houses in the west bank, killing women and children, and America will still support them, because I saw an even pro Israel PBS documentary, where Israeli soldiers interviewed said that was actually the orders Israeli officers gave their soldiers, and politicians have said America can be on her knees, poor and crumbling, and we will support Israel no matter what. That is largely the result of the Holocaust.
Also, the quantity of Jews dying in the Holocaust, had permanently done more to end antisemitism, make antisemitism unacceptable and ugly in more people's eyes, and stir up more love for the Jewish people, than anything, because nobody wants to say something antisemitic and be associated with something so ugly as Nazi Germany and the death camps.
Even among Christians, who believe accepting Jesus is necessary for salvation, countless of them support Israel regardless of what Israel does, and they believe they have to, to be blessed by God. That is also not a phenomenon we would see from so many Christians, were it not for the Holocaust.
So, actually, in many ways, the worst thing to ever happen to massive quantities of Jews, in the history of the world, actually has raised up countless Jews, who are benefiting from it immensely, in many ways.
I'm telling you, the Bible, even the one that only contains Jewish scriptures, gives many examples, of extremely ugly , terrible agony afflicting God's chosen people, and it actually turns out to their advantage.
I can give many examples of very evil things in my life, including my jump off a three story building onto concrete in a suicide attempt, putting me in a wheelchair for ten weeks, it actually turned into something so positive, I don't regret my permanent handicaps from it.
Hang in there.
