Nor is he coming.

Unsurprising I guess, but I have never met a Christian who seems to have actually read Jewish messianic prophecy.
Apart from being emphatically stated that the Messiah WILL NOT BE DIVINE,
Quote:JESUS FAILED TO FULFILL ANY OF SIX AUTHENTIC JEWISH MESSIANIC CRITERIA
The word “messiah” means anointed with oil. All kings, high priests, and prophets in the Jewish Bible are described as “messiahs” because they were all anointed with oil into God’s service. Many Jewish prophets foretold that a particular messiah, the Messiah ben David, would appear and fulfill six major prophecies that will lead the world into a special Messianic Era. These messianic criteria are and have always been universally accepted by the Jewish People. Jesus did not qualify as the Jewish Messiah ben David for the simple reason that he did not fulfill any of these criteria. The Messiah ben David must:
1. have the correct genealogy by being descended from King David and King Solomon,
2. be anointed King of Israel,
3. return the Jewish People to Israel,
4. rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem,
5. bring peace to the world and end all war,
6. bring knowledge of God to the world.
This view is not crackpot fringe,but mainstream Jewish belief. (ask a rabbi)
