No Jew accepts any of the claimed prophesies concerning Jesus as actually prophesying him ... including the most expert and knowledgeable rabbis, (and it's their culture) as coming from a god.
Oh, I see. I thought you meant ‘divine origin’ in general, not specifically Jesus. That being the case, no argument.
And, for the record, I know a fair bit about Jewish history and culture. Don’t presume.

That being the case, why is it you said nothing about the nature of prophesy ?
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
