Answer 1

Yes, we are still waiting for the Messiah to come.
We have no idea when the Messiah will come.
There is no concept of the anti christ in judaism, because we don't believe in the christian "christ."
There are believers who call themselves messianic jews. They believe in the laws and rituals of judaism *and* the concept of Jesus as the Messiah. They are usually not Jews in the Jewish legal sense however.
We don't believe Jesus was the Messiah because we believe that the Messiah will be king over a true physical kingdom here on earth, which Jesus did not do.
I was raised Christian and chose Judaism as an adult so I really have searched out both sides of this question. I believe Jesus was not the Messiah because I've studied it myself personally and believe what I've found myself, not what I've been taught.
In synagogue, we talk about love for G*D. We talk about obeying His Laws. We talk about striving to do good each day and letting the light of our faith shine in everything we do. We talk about the Hebrew Scriptures and the Oral Law and the forest of commentaries that discuss our holy writings.

Answer 2

Yes, Jews are still waiting for the messiah to come. Yes, especially in this time period, especially with Iran building nuclear weapons and since there was talk of a red heifer being born in Israel. No, it wouldn't be an antichr*st because we dont know what that is, we do not believe in antichr*sts because any chr*st means nothing to us, let alone an anti-one. No, there are no Chr*stian Jews, there are either Chr*stians or Jews. There are Messianics, and they are people who claim to be Jewish but are really Chr*stian. We don't believe J*sus is the messiah because he didn't fulfill the messianic prophesies before he died. (examples include bringing all the Jews to Israel, rebuilding the Temple) Yes, we really have researched it ourselves and I find that question really offensive. Why do you think we just mindlessly follow what we are taught? Have you researched J*sus yourself or is it something you keep because of tradition? If you've researched, why would you think Jews haven't? In synagogue we don't talk about J*sus, we talk about G-d, this week's parsha (part of the Torah) reading, issues in Judaism, and we pray.

If you would like any more information on this subject please feel free to email me as this is one of my areas of expertise. Peace

Answer 3

yes, the messiah is still to come. no, it wouldn't be an "anti-christ", the idea of such a person is foreign to judaism. we don't believe jesus is the messiah because he didn't fulfill the prophecies. yes, we have searched it ourselves, and no its not something we keep out of tradition. in our synagogues we talk about G-d. who else would we talk about?

Answer 4

sadly yes. but they missed him..sorry jews



The Gentiles will believe in Him, while His own people (the Jews) will reject him ( Isaiah 8:14; 28:16; 49:6; 50:6; 60:3; Psalms 22:7-8; 118:22).

Answer 5

The messiah was supposed to come and rescue the jews for slavery. Apparently the messiah was Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Answer 6

The angels said, "O Mary, GOD has chosen you and purified you. He has chosen you from all the women.

[3:43] "O Mary, you shall submit to your Lord, and prostrate and bow down with those who bow down."

[3:44] This is news from the past that we reveal to you. You were not there when they drew their raffles to select Mary's guardian. You were not present when they argued with one another.

[3:45] The angels said, "O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is `The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me.'

[3:46] "He will speak to the people from the crib, as well as an adult; he will be one of the righteous."

[3:47] She said, "My Lord, how can I have a son, when no man has touched me?" He said, "GOD thus creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He simply says to it, `Be,' and it is.

[3:48] "He will teach him the scripture, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel."

[3:49] As a messenger to the Children of Israel: "I come to you with a sign from your Lord - I create for you from clay the shape of a bird, then I blow into it, and it becomes a live bird by GOD's leave. I restore vision to the blind, heal the leprous, and I revive the dead by GOD's leave. I can tell you what you eat, and what you store in your homes. This should be a proof for you, if you are believers.

[3:50] "I confirm previous scripture - the Torah - and I revoke certain prohibitions imposed upon you. I come to you with sufficient proof from your Lord. Therefore, you shall observe GOD, and obey me.

[3:51] "GOD is my Lord and your Lord;* you shall worship Him alone. This is the right path."

Answer 7

They're still waiting. Judaism wants God to do what they want, but refuses to obey what God wants from them. It demands that God conform to Jewish desires and their intentions. Judaism has no regard for non-Jews, so a universal doctrine or messiah such as Jesus the Anointed will be rejected by them. He was rejected once and crucified, when he returns nobody will be able to deny him.
