What exactly are you arguing here?And there's more than that, too. So much so that some Jews speculated that there must be two messiahs to fulfill all the prophecies: messiab ben David, the triumphant messiah; and messiah ben Joseph, the suffering messiah. As it turns out, it's not two messiahs, with one advent each. It's one messiah, with two advents. Remember, the Bible doesn't end with the gospels. The unfulfilled prophecies will be fulfilled in the end, as described in the OT and in Revelation.
Have to disagree with you about Revelation. That's the story of a cat tripping balls in a cave having a psychotic episode about the events circa 400 C.E. It doesn't really have anything to do with anything and should never been included in canon.
