A question to Jews, who is the Messiah?

Question

and what will his Job be? And is it known when he might come?

Answer 1

The Messiah has not come yet. so "who" is not really a valid question.

his job, AND the proof that he is the one, is ushering in the messianic age. this involves world peace, universal knowlege of God, and a variety of other details.

he will come when the time is right.

it is a common belief that every generation has a "potential" king messiah born, and if it is the time, he will blossom into "the one".

the attached site might help. this site is intended as a point of how jesus did not fulfill the criteria, but it also really lists through whats needed.

The Jewish Messiah ONLY COMES ONCE. and IS NOT a sacrifice, nor is he god incarnate or anything like that.

Answer 2

Look at the actual prophecies in the Torah about Moshiach [the Messiah] and what he is suppsoed to do.

He will be of the House of David (Ezekiel 37:24).

He must gather the Jewish people from exile and return them to Israel
(Isaiah 11:12).

He must rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 37:26 - 27).

He will rule at a time of world-wide peace (Micah 4:3).

He will rule at a time when the Jewish people will observe G-d's
commandments (Ezekiel 37:24).

He will rule at a time when all people will come to acknowledge and serve
one G-d (Isaiah 66:23).

All the Jews, living in Israel, and observant (even the former Xians will
return to Judaism); a new Temple, world-wide peace, no wars, no scuffles,
and all the people, all 6+ billion of them, former Muslims, Xians,
Buddhists, atheists, etc., will finally believe in HaShem and serve only
Him. When all this becomes true, will it not be obvious to the world?

Now, you want all these prophecies put together in one place? Look at
Ezekiel 37:24-28:

"And David my servant shall be king over them; and they shall all have one
shepherd. they shall also follow My judgments and observe My statutes, and
do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Yaakov my
servant, in which your fathers have dwelt and they shall dwell there, they
and their children, and their children's children forever; and my servant
David shall be their prince forever. Moreover, I will make a covenant of
peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, which I will
give them; and I will multiply them and I will set my sanctuary in the midst
of them forevermore. And my tabernacle shall be with them: and I will be
their G-d and they will be my people. Then the nations shall know that I am
the L-rd who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary will be in the midst of
them forevermore."

All the people of the world will know Who is God, and will serve Him, and
they will know without a doubt who His people are and who the messiah is.

Moshiach will be a human, not a demi god. His job is not to 'save' any one or to be a sacrifice. He is to lived, not die, for humanity. When he comes, the World will be back at the level it was just before Adom and Chava [Adam and Eve] eat the 'fruit'. This time, that will not happend and all of Mankind will go to the Sabbath feast where they will eat the 'fruit' as dessert, as G-d has originally wanted, and get on with the job that was originally planned, going from strength to strength. Every generation has potential Moshiachs, the question is whether the generation is ready. Apparently, none have, yet. But we believe that he will come, even if he tarry.

Answer 3

His "job" is to help us to bring peace and justice to everyone here on earth. When we have peace on earth, you will recognize the messiah. He will do it the first time around and will not be another god.

Judaism is about making the earth a better place for all mankind, not about warm fuzzies and pie-in-the-sky.

Answer 8

Christ and Messiah mean the same thing; the anointed one.

Answer 9

They are waiting for their Messiah who will be the "False Messiah" (Antichrist).

All who support him and his govt will be on the side of EVIL.

Those who they fight will be on the side of GOOD.

The Good will be called evil and the Evil doers will be called the "good guys" by most of the technological world.
