It is complicated. They believe in the coming of the messiah as the world is going to change completely. That is why they don't validate Jesus as the Messiah, thinking the world didn't change. The other thing is that, maybe they cannot believe that the messiah could have been a poor man (materialy), they expect a king with jewelry .. i don't know. Thinking of someone like Salomon maybe. The rich fairman profet. It is a matter of concepts. Jesus for me was The richest man of the world in all times, and to be rich you don't need have money ... so this is all so complicated. Religions are complicated. The fact is that Jesus came to leave us a message, and we, i include myself in it ... we so misunderstand that message so bad, that instead of being united we are so fall apart and separate. We hate each other everyday more ... we fight and defend our religions and believes as the right one and the only one... making our place so hard to live with no harmony and no love. And the worst is that everything we do that separates ourselves more and more... we validate it "in the name of god". A Big controversy with all this. Hypocresy, that is all. What were the most important words of The Big Majesty " LOVE EACH OTHER IN THE SAME WAY I LOVE U ALL". Do we do that ?... nop. We dedicate our lives to put a mark in our fronts.. the cristians, the catholics, the jewish, the islamisc, the witness of jave, the santeros ... and most of them believe in jesus as the mesiah, but the last thing they do is what jesus wanted .. Love each other ... I wonder, at the moment of the truht, of what color is our lies ?.

the belief of an anointed one isn't soully visualised in the Jewish faith. maximum religions have an anointed guy or woman who saves them. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah - Christianity exchange into first began between the Jews in the previous spreading to the Gentiles the place it took a international carry and the Greek style of Joshua the Anointed One exchange into replaced to a greater user-friendly language - notwithstanding i'm not sure why that's no longer Latin seeing as that's the language of people who universalised (Catholicised) Christianity. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, your interpretation, or the translation of your holy adult men, of the attributes of the Anointed One could be different from those of different religions and sects yet maximum believe in a chosen guy or woman who frees them in some way. Oh by using the way, i'm VERY attracted to your thought of the Anointed One. What are the attributes of the Messiah you're waiting for? how can you already know whilst he comes? I even have heard that he will have a spouse and young ones, yet what else will he do? what's his purpose? what share situations will he come? Will you e mail me or ought to I ask the question at large? explanation why Christians declare which you have "neglected" your Messiah, or what they could term the actual Messiah is their concept and multiple tactlessness. Jesus the Christ taught that he exchange into the Messiah, and Christianity has customary that, tactlessly or no longer. i'm hoping i've got no longer indignant you, with the aid of fact i'm purely attempting to describe what we are thinking.

Jews believe that the messiah has not yet come to earth. that has not changed since the 1st century.
Jews hols the same belifes about what the messiah will be as Christians believe, that the messiah will come and achieve forgivness for his people. But Jews (and Muslims) do not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Rather they believe he was a prophet

Saviour of Israel.
The reality is Israel is getting saved by the Messiah that came to earth 2000 years ago, who died on the cross for their sins, & not theirs only but the whole worlds.
Their eyes are getting opened too this today. God is restoring Israel & Christians around the globe are praying & supporting Israel.
Christians need to realize this reality. Christ return is around the time when Christians & Jews relationship get restored.

The Jewish believe that the Messiah is yet to come. They do not believe in heaven or hell (when you're gone, you're gone). They do acknowledge the existence of Jesus as a human being in history, but do not believe that He is the Messiah, as Christians do.

As the others in here have stated, the jews don't believe that the Christ has come yet, but also, in the time of Christ's walk on earth, the jews expected the messiah to deliver them from the romans through war, thats why they rejected him as Christ.

They don't bellive the Messiah has come if you are talking about most Jews.
However there are some Jews htat call themselves "Messianic" and their concept is the same as most Christians.

This should shed some light on the Messianic complexity:
