Do you think it is funny that Christians think they know better of your scriptures?

Sure. None of the prophecies below have been fulfilled.
Judaism teaches that the messiah will fulfill the following prophecies:
* The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26)
* Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)
* The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)
* He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via King Solomon (1 Chron. 22:8-10)
* The Moshiach will be a man of this world, an observant Jew with "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)
* Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)
* Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)
* He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)
* All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)
* Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8)
* There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)
* All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)
* The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)
* He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)
* Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)
* The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)
* The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)
* Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)
* The Temple will be rebuilt (Ezekiel 40) resuming many of the suspended mitzvot
* He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together (Zephaniah 3:9)
* Jews will know the Torah without Study (Jeremiah 31:33)
* He will give you all the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)

a lot of those Prophecies have been written after the actuality. If I suggested I Prophicize that Tiger Woods does not win a significant experience in 2010 and write it down, whose to declare that 10 years from now somebody will say "howdy Waalee prophicised that Tiger Woods does not win a experience in 2010" Boy, Waalee could be a Prophet. to actual say that God wrote the Bible is insane. What did he use a pen or a quill. adult adult males wrote the Bible. Then later adult adult males translated the Bible and that they did not like it so they wrote a sparkling Bible and spoke of because it the hot testomony. i don't scoff on the Bible yet i don't delude myself the two. i take advantage of straight forward experience.

Unfortunately, I am not Jewish, and can't give you an official answer. But as far as I know Jesus according to Judaism did not fulfill any of the necessary requirements to be the messiah. Most of the prerequisites are in the book of Daniel of the old testament. Basically, Jesus didn't rebuild the third temple, all Israelites will return to Israel, he would be a paternal descendant of David, all people will worship one god, and some other requirements

Well, first is the total absence of any passages suggesting that the messiah would be the son of God or god in human form. Also, the lack of any passages saying that the messiah will die and he'll have to return after thousands of years to finish the job.

this page goes over it pretty thoroughly.
the bottom line problem is that Jesus did not fulfill the tasks that were the entire purpose of the messiah.
its like getting an electrician when you called a plumber. ... they might do whatever they do, just fine. but if what they do isn't what you need... the problem you needed fixed has not been fixed.

No Jewish Messiah as yet! Why ?
No Jew can answer. Because the prophecy has already been fulfilled.
It makes no difference if anyone does not accept the God or his prophets or his signs! God has given us many evidences of the righteousness of Jesus:
His teachings and specific calls to his people.
The Star and Wisemen from the East to Jerusalem.
Read Matt 2:1-3
These Wisemen were the representatives of the 10 lost tribes of Israelites living in Neshapur and Khorasan. They visited Jerusalem since the time had come and their prediction and effort was successful.
Many converted in Christianity through the teachings of disciples.
Last and the Final evidence is Holy Quran wherein the God himself confirmed the Righteousness of Jesus and recognised him as Messiah of Jewish nation. In recognition of this fact Every Muslim is bound to agree and accept Jesus as Messiah from the Almighty God.
Now almost 50% of the world population (Christians and Muslims) believe that Jesus was Messiah!
Again! It makes no difference if Jews who represent only 0.023% of the living population do not belive!
Their rejection is beyond comprehension! Based on the habitual transgressing written in Torah!
The prophecy is fulfilled.

I'm going to respond to this with a question.
Can you give me scripture as to why King Hezekiah wasn't the prophesied messiah?

The only prophecies jesus ever fulfilled were from the Septuagint. He filled no prophecies from the Hebrew bible that is why they rejected him.

Jews believed that Jesus was not the Messiah because they considered Jesus a criminal (he was on trial) and no criminal could be a Messiah.

I can't, I don't use the bible as evidence of anything, but i'm sure any number of jewish folks will shortly accomodate you.
