When do the Jews think that Jesus will come?

Answer 1

There is no way to tell exactly when the Messiah will come. You just have to wait patiently until he does.

Answer:

The Talmud gives two possibilities for this: "If they are meritorious, I (God) will hasten it; if not, it will occur in its appointed time" (Sanhedrin 98a). This means that there is a final date for the arrival of the messiah, but if we deserve it, the redemption can occur before that date.

Note that the Talmud (Sanhedrin 97-98) urges us not to spend time on end-of-days speculation, an activity that accomplishes nothing.

Answer 2

In Judaism, there is no "coming back." If a person does not meet all of the requirements of the messiah before dying, he wasn't the messiah, period.

The word 'messiah' is the anglicisation of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. The word moshiach translates to 'anointed'. The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of God. We have had many meshichim (pl) in the form of kings and priests. There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach.

This being said, there is a prophecy of a future moshiach, however, this is a relatively minor topic in Judaism and the Tanach. As for when he'll appear, no one knows.

The Jewish requirements of the messiah have not yet been fulfilled. They are:
* Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).
* Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).
* Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred and oppression. "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more" (Isaiah 2:4).
* Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. "God will be King over all the world. On that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).
* The messiah must be descended on his father's side from King David (Genesis 49:10 and Isaiah 11:1).
* The messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah-observance. The Torah states that all of its mitzvot (commands) remain binding forever.

Answer 3

No. Even though Jesus Christ was Jewish, Jews considered him a false prophet.

Answer:

Only Christians and Muslims consider him to be Messiah and believe in his second coming. Jews, while believing in Ha Moshiach (The Messiah) do not consider him to be the Messiah.

The word 'messiah' is the Anglicisation of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. The word moshiach translates to 'anointed'. The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of HaShem. We have had many moshiachim (pl) in the form of kings, priests, prophets, and judges. There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach.

This being said, there is a prophecy of a future moshiach, however, this is a relatively minor topic in Judaism and the Tanach.

The Jewish requirements of hamoshiach are:

* Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28)

* Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6)

* Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)

* Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "HaShem will be King over all the world -- on that day, HaShem will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9)

* Hamoshiach must be descended on his father's side from King David (Genesis 49:10 and Isaiah 11:1)

* Hamoshiach will lead the Jewish people to full Torah observance. The Torah states that all mitzvot remain binding forever, and anyone coming to change the Torah is immediately identified as a false prophet. (Deut. 13:1-4)

Please note that there is no prophecy of a "second coming", the man who will be hamoshiach will accomplish all of the necessary deeds in his lifetime or he will simply not be hamoshiach.

Answer 4

That the return of the Messiah will be a political leader (King) that will rule Israel, solving all their problems.

That is what they were looking for 2000 years ago when Jesus came, and refused the role, and what they are still looking for.

Christians believe that when Christ returns the 2nd time he will be this political leader, but over the whole world not just Israel, for 1000 years before the final judgement.

Note: I'm deliberately leaving lots of theological details and timing details out to avoid argument.

Answer 5

No one knows, not even Christ Himself. Only the Father.

Answer 6

Jesus plays no role whatsoever in Judaism.
