Contributing to the Jews' lack of faith was the popular, though mistaken, belief that the Messiah would immediately rid the nation of Roman rule and restore an independent Davidic kingdom on earth. Because Jesus suffered and died, most Jews could not accept him as the Messiah. But, in fact, Isaiah had foretold that the Messiah would experience suffering before becoming King.

(Isaiah 50:6; 53:7)

It doesn't matter who or what he was. We do not listen to Jews or others who preach things that are not in keeping with the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.13).

Judaism says very little about Jesus. According to our tradition, the vast majority of the Jews at the time didn't hear of him. The Torah-sages were active at that time and their yeshivot (Torah-academies) were flourishing. Their tens of thousands of disciples and hundreds of thousands of sympathizers were active in the Jewish world in that generation; they were the leaders and the forefront of Judaism. As Josephus (Antiquities book 18) writes, "the cities give great attestations to them." The great majority of Jews loved their sages and their Torah. The unlearned class of the Amei-haaretz (ignoramuses) was a small fringe of society, but even they would and did lay down their lives in order not to change anything of the Torah. As one ancient historian (Hecateus) famously wrote:
"They [Jews] may...have torments inflicted upon them, and be brought to the most terrible kinds of death, but they meet these tortures after an extraordinary manner, beyond all other people, and will not renounce the religion of their forefathers." No one (even any of them who did hear of Jesus) - would have given any consideration to what was and is considered unacceptable for us. The few who came in contact with Jesus soon lost interest, and the early Christians felt the need to turn to non-Jewish centers of population in order to gain adherents, while the Jews remained Jews. In Judaism, Jesus was a regular human being who lived in olden times, and is not part of Jewish religious belief.
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.

Jesus preached monotheism then why do Christians not follow him but believe in polytheism the trinity?

Christians are going the wrong way completely opposite what Jesus preached they have mixed up God,Holy spirit and Jesus himself.Its their thinking that all are one and the same or are equal. They believe in one GOD the eternal.(sorry which they dont, they believe in trinity) They believe that the holy spirit is part of God which is absolutely not,the holy spirit is completely different thing it was following the order of GOD. And thirdly they believe him to be the son of God a part of GOD who he wasnt but he was the messenger of GOD sent on this earth by the order of GOD.to Believe him to be son of GOD is absolutely foolishness.His birth is like birth of Adam who did not have a father or a mother but was born by the order of GOD.Same way Jesus was born but without a father.
