The Jews are waiting for the Messiah; Christians believe He has already come (Jesus).

Based on awkward interpretations of some very odd imagery in just a very few Christian texts, there is a belief that someone going about calling himself the Jewish Messiah will actually be the anti-christ. This is probably what you've heard. I'll just say that there are definitely other ways to interpret the texts.
Some of the Christian ideas about the anti-christ come from some equally bizarre images in the Book of Daniel, which is Jewish. Daniel writes about a 'beast' and general Jewish and scholarly concensus is that Daniel's imagery is all metaphor for the political situation around the Babylonian exile; Daniel's beast had already come and gone.
There was an idea of an anti-Messiah floating about a long time ago, before the Middle Ages I think, when there were efforts to reconcile Muslim and Jewish beliefs. It hasn't been retained and I think most Jews would be surprised to find out that it was there at all.

nope u gots it all wrong haven't people ever read a book *_*
according to Jewish tradition, a prince who would occupy the throne of David and lead the Jewish nation to become a world power
2) Early Christian theologians quickly noted the similarity in meaning between Messiah and Christ and reached the conclusion that Jesus, being a Messiah, must also have been a Christ.
but its not jesus is not the jewish messiah

*sigh* i'm no longer positive. i'm no longer a jew, and except you're a jew it likely doesn't remember. And no, the messiah isn't their anti-christ. it truly is Christ that their waiting for.

as of what I know, the Jews believe that the messiah will come, he hasn't come yet, this person will be a relative of King David, and the messiah can only come once all jews return to israel, and obey all laws of the torah (bible).
