One has to understand the reason the Hebrews (chosen people) did not accept Jesus.
What did God specifically say to the Hebrews within the commandments?
"Thou shall have no other God before me" Exodus 20
Remember, the ancient Hebrews were very religious and followed the commandment with total belief!
When Jesus appeared on the horizon and claimed to be God the hebrew people were somewhat offended.
Regardless, as to the countless miracles He performed the hebrews could not oppose their commandment that God instructed.
Now, where is the Gentile at this time?
The gentile is worshipping false pagan Gods without any hope of heaven.
What a great mystery to have both God and Jesus as one, here the gentile upon acceptance of Christ is also allowed to share with the hebrews a true and authentic God!
Remember, when the hebrew people approached Jesus during His sermon on the mount?
The Hebrews asked Jesus, "Why have you come to change the law"
Jesus replied: "I have not come to change the law, i have come to fulfill it"
Careful study of the latter verse would mean to allow the gentile the ability for salvation!
Why do so many people get this so twisted and distorted, it is all explained in the bible...

They actually saw Him so they knew He was a man who
walked the earth, but they were not convinced He was
the Messiah who was spoken of in the scriptures who was
to come even tho He went around doing miracles, healing
the blind and sick, and even raised Lazarus from the dead.
I don't know what they expected, but apparently it was not
Jesus whom God sent to earth for 33 years. There are now
a lot of "Jews For Jesus" people who now believe. But
there are still those Jews with their heads in the sand.

Some of the Jews have been taught to accept a story about a Rabbi Yeshua.
Funny isn't it.
Even though their own religion declares such a person to be impossible the Christian propaganda has been so strong that the myth has become accepted in some of their sects.

They refused to accept him as the Messiah. Point is that in those days their were many men with the name of Jesus so they paid no attention to him until he broke the laws of Moses and performed miricles even to raise the dead. These actions they took as power from Satan, he was very well not a likeable person in the eyes of the religious leaders.

Subsitute the names Ralph, John, Robert, etc, and the answer will be the same: that person has no bearing on Judaism. He probably existed, but then did Ralph, John, Robert, and billions of other people, too!
No human being has ever fulfilled the requirements of a messiah.

Jews and Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet.

Will anyone recognize that I walked the earth 100 years from now, or will I be a fiction no one remembers? Our concepts and memories change so much even with things that are still here. When will human beings recognize their frailties and accept them?

They recognise Jesus' existance...it's recorded in Roman texts of the period. They just don't accept him as the Messiah.

They know he was a man who walked the earth. The problem is they believe that's all he was. They refuse to believe that he was and is the Messiah...

Yes of course they do. Only the most ignorant of men do not believe that Jesus existed.
