Very few Jews know what the Tanakh has prophesied concerning them.
One day soon they will all find out.

To give just one:

4 These are the words the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 5 "This is what the LORD says:
" 'Cries of fear are heard—
terror, not peace.

6 Ask and see:
Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,
every face turned deathly pale?

7 How awful that day will be!
None will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,
but he will be saved out of it.

8 " 'In that day,' declares the LORD Almighty,
'I will break the yoke off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;
no longer will foreigners enslave them.

9 Instead, they will serve the LORD their God
and David their king,
whom I will raise up for them.

10 " 'So do not fear, O Jacob my servant;
do not be dismayed, O Israel,'
declares the LORD.
'I will surely save you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,
and no one will make him afraid.

11 I am with you and will save you,'
declares the LORD.
'Though I completely destroy all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you but only with justice;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.'

Jeremiah 30:4-11 NIV

and one more:

1 A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you.
2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

3 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. 5 You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

Zechariah 14:1-5

Remember that jews are still waiting for a messiah to fulfill all the prophesies of the OT which Jesus most certainly did not.

Most jews that I know have come to the realization that many of the prophesies that seemed to come true were written after the event and that most of the forward written prophesies are no more than wishful thinking.

Maybe in a few thousand years christians will reach that level of maturity.

they probably don't know about the prophecies in revelations. since there is no book in the bible called revelations.

they may be aware of the prophecies in Revelation. which is in fact in the bible.

but Revelation is not cut and dry. it spells out very little. you can easily explain those verses to mean anything. which is what they did when Jesus was here and with all of the things Paul said.

so they know, but they change meanings, just like all the rest of us.

Yes, but in general we don't pay much attention to them. None in what is called the New Testament have any weight at all for us, and even those in the Old Testament that have to do with anything recent aren't believed by at least most of the Jews that I have ever spoken to.

Jews, that are not Christians, discredit all of the New Testament writings. So they really don't care what Revelation says. Anyways if YOU really understand Revelation you will understand that most of that already happened. Study what happened to the Jewish nation in 70AD and then ask your question again.

Yes, we know a lot about your book, including the hate and denigration for Jews found in the gospels (good? news)!

Prophesy in the Hebrew Bible was intended for the immediate future -- not as science fiction many centuries down the road! The only prophets included in our book are those whose prophesies had been realized.

let me answer your question with a question:

do you know what the Book or Mormon says about Christians who do not embrace Mormon?

Do you care what soemone else religion says about your religious beliefs?

If not why do you think I or any other Jew would care what some anonymous 2nd century unhappy scribe wrote in "revalations" ?

It just doesn't apply!
