No. We believe our Messiah will be a man.
It is the hallmark of pagan, idolatrous faiths, to confuse God with human beings, either that God becomes human, or that humans become God. In Biblical history, one sees this confusion with Pharaoh, and with Haman (boo, hiss!), as well as with Antiochus, the Assyrian King against whom the Maccabbees rebelled. Furthermore, as one example, in Hosea 11:9 God tell us, "For I am God and not a man."

Nope- the idea of an anthropomorphic God impregnating young women is paganistic and has nothing to do with Judaism (it has plenty to do with Greek and Roman mythology in which the heroes are frequently the scions of Gods e.g. Hercules whose father is Zeus).
The Messiah will be a man, with two human parents and who fulfills a divine mandate- he will be easily recognisable from the following:
1) There will be a parah adumah (red heffer) to be sacrificed.
2) The temple will be restored
3) The temple service (in other words all the sacrifices) will be restored.
4) The Jews will return to Israel en masse.
5) The Jews will be preists to the rest of the world.
6) There will be world peace
7) The dead will be resurrected
8) Good will be more desirable from evil (the opposite of the current situation)

No not at all.
He will be physically a normal person in every which way.
He wil love and hate, make mistakes and grow from them.
The only difference will be in his actions. Namely he will restore the Davidic line and usher in world peace.

No. Far from it. He will be an ordinary man. I second inat's answer, she is very smart.
Don't forget all the Greek gods that copulated with humans to create demigods.

what do you mean by divine?
Let me ask you a reverse question:
Can something happen in the world that is not 'divine'?
