Their prophecies of the saviour weren't ever fulfilled, only one possible even came close and it wasn't Jesus.
One reason being their scripture talks of the coming of the saviour and his followers being filled with his teachings and love of their fellow man, that every where they went there was peace in the land.. Yeah, Christians are all that!! Needless to say, that hasn't happened yet, so Christ can't be the true saviour. Not according to Jewish Prophecy. |
Yes, it was/is Orthodox Judaism that
could not accept a pacifist individual as their Moshiach. The Jewish priests wanted a military leader who would conquer the enemies of Israel and establish total rule over the land. Yeshua taught that one should love their enemy instead of living by the law of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." (Matthew 5:38-48)
However, did you know that Orthodox Judaism is expectant of two (2) Moshiachs which include: Moschiach ben Yosef (son of Joseph) and Moshiach ben David.
Moshiach ben Yosef will appear first and be killed - afterwhich chaos and near destruction of the Jews will take place. Then, Moshiach ben David will appear to set up God's Kingdom upon this earth and vanquish the enemies of Israel.
If this is the case, then Orthodox Judaism cannot expect to have peace anytime soon even when their first expectant Moshiach (ben Yosef) appears because it is in their prophecy that chaos and near destruction of Israel will take place. So things will get even worse for Israel.
Herein is a Biblical parallel whereby it is very possible that the individual that Orthodox Judaism does come to accept as being their first Moshiach will actually be the antichrist.
