A:There is no mention of Jesus of Nazareth in either the Old Testament or any extra-biblical source. There is a minority view that the story of Jesus might have originated with the 'Teacher of Righteousness' mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but that would place him in the second century BCE.

Where can you find Old Testament scriptures to prove Jesus is not the Jewish messiah?

A:Perhaps the best proof that Jesus is not the Jewish messiah is that none of the Old Testament scriptures ever refers to Jesus, either by name or in any way that unambiguously identifies him. Christians, from the gospel authors onwards, have sought to link Jesus with various passages in the Hebrew scriptures, but it requires strong faith or willing acceptance to see the parallels. We will not find any Old Testament passages that assert positively that Jesus is not the messiah, simply because the Old Testament was written before Jesus was born; also the notion of a Jewish messiah is largely external to the Old Testament. Of course, if Jesus is the son of God, as Christians assert, then it matters not whether he was the longed-for messiah. However, even this claim must be taken on faith, and faith alone.If you wish to read a Jewish rebuttal for the claim that Jesus is the Messiah, please see the Related Questions linked to below.
