There is only one messiah, not one for the Jews and one for the Christians! The real messiah will come when Gd wills it to happen. The concept of the messiah came from and through the Jews. The term, Messiah is from the Hebrew word, Mashiach, meaning one who is annointed. Annointed meant chosen by Gd for specific tasks, the ritual for which was pouring oil over your head in an annointing.
No one has the right to come along and say that we Jews have the wrong definition for a word we invented. That would be like someone who does not speak English, telling someone whose mother tongue is English, that an Electrician fixes plumbing.
So how have we Jews, who invented the term, always defined the term Messiah?
1)The Messiah is born of two human parents.
But Jesus, according to Christian theology, was born of a union between a Human woman and Gd, rather than two HUMAN parents, as was Hercules, and Dionysis, as well as many other pagan gods.
2)The Messiah can trace his lineage through his human biological father, back to King David (Isaiah 11:1,10; Jeremiah 23:5; Ezekiel 34:23-24; 37:21-28; Jeremiah 30:7-10; 33:14-16; and Hosea 3:4-5)
But Jesus's lineage cannot go through his human father, according to Christian theology, as Jesus's father was not Joseph the husband of Mary.
3)The Messiah traces his lineage only through King Solomon (II Samuel 7:12-17; I Chronicles 22:9-10)
But according to Luke 3:31, Jesus was a descendant of Nathan, another son of King David, and not a descendant of King David through King Solomon. This would be like, for English royalty, being a descendant of Andrew, the brother of Charles, when it is only Charles and his descendants who can be King.
4)The Messiah can not trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel whose descendants were cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17; Jeremiah 22:30).
But according to both Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel, the grandson of the cursed Jehoiakim.
Furthermore, according to the Jewish definition of the term, the Real Messiah will make changes in the real world, changes that one can see and perceive and be able to prove because these changes take place in the real world. It is for this task that the real messiah has been anointed in the first place, hence the term, “messiah,” which means “one who is anointed.” These changes, that one will be able to see and perceive in the real world, include:
1)The Messiah is preceded by Elijah the prophet who, with the Messiah, unifies the family (Malachi 4:5-6)
Which is contradicted by Jesus in Matthew 10:34-37.
2)The Messiah re-establishes the Davidic dynasty through the messiah's own children (Daniel 7:13-14)
But Jesus had no children.
3)The Messiah brings an eternal peace between all nations, between all peoples, and between all people (Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Ezekiel 39:9)
Obviously there is no peace, and hasnt been any peace, since Jesus was here.
4)The Messiah brings about the universal world-wide conversion of all peoples to Judaism, or at least to Ethical Monotheism (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16)
But the world remains steeped in idolatry.
5)The Messiah brings about an end to all forms of idolatry (Zechariah 13:2);
But the world remains steeped in idolatry.
6)The Messiah brings about a universal recognition that the Jewish idea of Gd is Gd (Isaiah 11:9)
But the world remains steeped in idolatry.
7)The Messiah leads the world to become vegetarian (Isaiah 11:6-9)
It isn't.
8)The Messiah gathers to Israel, all of the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 36:24)
Many of the ten lost tribes remain lost.
9)The Messiah rebuilds The Temple (Isaiah 2:2; Ezekiel 37:26-28)
It hasn't been rebuilt.
10)There will be no more famine (Ezekiel 36:29-30)
People starve to death every day.
11)After the Messiah comes, death will eventually cease (Isaiah 25:8)
