Nope. All total bullshit. The role of the Jewish Messiah was NEVER to be a savior.
Jesus never claimed to "fulfill" anything. All that arose in Christian history FAR FAR later.
The Jews needed no savior. They STILL do not claim to need one. It's simply NEVER been a part of the Jewish religion.
The Messiah was to restore the kingdom of Israel. Jesus failed to get the job done.
Also his disciples thought that also. In Acts they ask him,
"Wilt thou O Lord at this time restore the kingdom to Israel" ?
You apparently never studied History.
You really ought to.
Jesus SAID he came to change nothing.
For at least 100 years, until the late 1st Century, Christians were Jews. The High Priest issued a proclamation (The Benedictions against the members of The Way sect, mentioned in the Gospel of John) ... the Expulsion Curses, demanding the Christians (the Way sect of Judaism) stay away from the synagogues. In the year 400 (!!!) the Archbishop of Constantinople (John Chrysostom) told HIS congregation to stop going to the synagogue in his Christmas sermon.
Actually, Jesus did say he came to fulfill the law and the prophets.
