Isaiah 52vs13-53:12 "He will be exaulted. First he will be marred more than any man. (did you see the Passion of Christ/means Messiah Moshiach-in greek Cristos)
Isaiah 53 goes on to show how he is marred "All we like sheep have gone astray (Prophet Isaiah statest this 700bce long before our temple was destroyed leaving us with either no blood sacrifice commanded by Moses Leviticus 17vs11 "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to make atonement for your souls) or else the Messiah would come already before the temple was destroyed-keeping Moses from giving us an impossible command to keep.
Isaiah goes on-"He will be despised and rejected , and lay down his life to make atonement for our sins. He will die with the wicked and be burried with the rich. He will see his seed and prosper. So after his death he sees His seed making him as predicted God almighty Isaiah 9:6 and the seed being spiritual.
Is this Messiah only for my Jewish people or is he for everyone?

I believe the prophet Joel best answers your question. I will post the scripture for you.
Hope this Helps, Shalom & God Bless,
Chris
Joel 2:28-32 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. [29] Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. [30] I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. [31] The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. [32] And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Rom 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Yes, everything at first was for the Jews because God wanted a chosen people. But, that was the first covenant ( the first relationship or agreement) God had with any kind of people. When they betrayed and marred and crucified Christ, God opened up the covenant to everyone. It wasn't that Jews were the only ones that were saved, instead, if you were saved (during old testament) then you were a Jew.
To answer the question in short. Yes, he came for everyone.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God loved the "world" and "whosoever." Etc...

regardless of what dogma you accept, it is just that, dogma. if you think jesus was the jewish messiah, fine. if not, fine. a messiah was expected, and many have claimed they were him, others were proclaimed by the jewish peoples themselves. it is a matter of what you believe about a messiah that matters,not what someone else tells you to beleive. for many jews, the messiah is supposed to be a warrior, not a peacemaker. he is supposed to call down angels from heaven to defeat the enemies of the jews, not show a way to live peacefully or to be as at hoime with a prostitute and tax collector, as with a rabbinical scholar.
what you believe is for you alone, and not for everyone. what they believe is for themselves, but why should you also do so?

The earliest chronicles of Hebrew Christian beliefs indicated that only those of Jewish descent could become a Christian and be saved. That all changed when the Roman Empire took over the religion and created the New Testament.

One of the most quoted scriptures in the bible is the answer to your question: John 3:16..."for God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life". The key words in this verse is "world" and "whosoever"....Jesus is savior for all who believe.

Jesus wasn't the messiah for jewish people as they still believe that the messiah is still to come. Your question doesn't make sense.

He was just a wise man. End of story. Not a messiah for anyone, Jewish or Gentile.

He came to save the Jews, was rejected, and reached out to the gentiles.
