There are 23 Jewish messianic prophecies in the Tanakh, the Jewish scriptures. To prove himself as the messiah, a man must fulfill ALL of them BEFORE he dies - the Jewish messiah is a normal, mortal man. No 'second coming'. Here are the prophecies: 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) * 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) * 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) * He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9).

Who do Christians believe was the Jewish Messiah?
Christians believe that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. Jews disagree.
Who is the waiting messiah and Can messiah be a woman?
The idea of 'maschiach' (which means 'anointed') originated in Judaism. The Jewish Maschiach will be a normal, human man; he must fulfill the 23 Jewish messianic prophecies before he dies. Christianity took the concept, changed it, and declared that Jesus was the 'messiah'. As he does not fulfill any of the Jewish criteria for 'maschiach', though, he is not the Jewish messiah. The Jewish messiah is likely to be a man, but there are some Jews who argue that it could be a woman. There is a belief that in every generation, a potential messiah is born. But Jews do not actively 'wait' for their messiah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
