Jewish messianic expectation did not include?

Question

the idea of the Suffering Servant
the notion of the anointed servant of God
hope for the restoration of the monarchy
all of the above

Answer 1

Just 1- the idea of the suffering servant.

The word "mashiach" literally means annoited one- and therefore every prophet and king was a "mashiach". But the generic term doesn't quite encompass the full reality of the person that will bring the ultimate redemption.

Also, since the mashiach is from the House of David- the mashiach as ruler encompasses the recomposition of the monarchy.

So the first point is the only one rejected by Jews- we interpret the passage of the suffering servant in Isaiah to refer to the Jews as a whole- not as referring to an individual.

Answer 2

The way I comprehend this, the 'Suffering Servant', Anointed One (actually there are two, a master and a disciple) and hope for restoration of the monarchy are all the same idea: the Zaddik, who is the incumbent Aaronide High Priest, AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME! The responsibility is upon Him to maintain the highest standard for mankind, and make intercession with God for the sins of the people. The Zaddik is literally the 'gateway' to the spiritual realm, and He is assisted by numerous priests and levites who are assigned ministerial duties to be performed at the designated intervals. As far as the Zaddik goes, His word is as if God Himself were speaking. Needless to say, this provokes many to envy and malevolent intentions...and mayhem and pandemonium follows the Zaddik wherever He goes...

Answer 3

The first idea was not Jewish. That idea is specifically Christian in origin because it is connected by Christianity with Jesus last day of his life.
The suffering servant of Isaiah 53 is identified by Jewish sources (and by identified, I mean pshat) as Israel.

Answer 4

In addition, I would add that the "suffering servant" spoken of in Isaiah 53 is clearly Israel. It is **not** an individual; this is only "shown" when the chapter is taken **out of context** and **disconnected** from chapter 52.
