The Essenes were a tiny splinter group who held non-traditional beliefs and practices. Some see them as having been a nascent form of Christianity.

Who are the Essenes?
The Essenes were a Jewish sect that rejected the restoration of the Temple under the Hasmonean dynasty. They considered the High Priest in the era of the Saducees to be a userper. They retreated into what appear to have been monastic communities to await the coming of the Messiahs, the Messiah ben David who would restore the Davidic Kingdom, and the Messiah ben Joseph who would rebuild the Temple, and the Righteous Priest who would restore legitimate sacrifices.

No. Our tradition and beliefs call for a human messiah, whom we still await.
Why were the jews looking for messiah?
Jews await the Moshiach (messiah) because he is to rebuild the Holy Temple and begin an era of peace and of closeness to God.

What is Catholicism and Judaism?
Catholic believe and follow the works of Jesus, but Judaism did not agree of it because they await the messiah to come.Most of their teaching based from the law of Moses.
Who was the Jewish Jesus?
If you mean the Jewish equivalent of Jesus Christ, there is none. If you are referring to the Christian term "the Jewish Jesus", i.e. referring to the character in a more historical or Jewish-like sense, then you should investigate "Messianic Judaism" and similar Christian movements which purport to provide this information. However, their views are often conflicting.
How do Jews and Christians differ in their perspectives on messianic thought?
Jews and Christians differ in their perspectives on messianic thought primarily in their beliefs about the identity and nature of the Messiah. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah who has already come, while Jews await the arrival of a future Messiah who will fulfill prophecies and bring about a time of peace and redemption. This difference in belief about the timing and identity of the Messiah shapes the theological and eschatological perspectives of each faith tradition.
Is the word Jesus Christ a statement or an comment?
It is a statement, sort of: Jesus the Christ = Jesus the Anointed One = Joshua the Messiah. Jesus, originally Joshua in Hebrew, is a name, changed in the Greek New Testament to Jesus because male names in Greek do not end in "a". The English name Joshua is a rendering of the Hebrew language "Yehoshua", meaning "Yahweh is salvation" Christ is the English term for the Greek, Khristós, meaning "the anointed one". It is a translation of the Hebrew, Māšîaḥ, usually transliterated into English as Messiah. The Messiah was the long await one, from the blood-line of King David, who would rescue Israel. In post-biblical usage Christ became a name, one part of the name "Jesus Christ", but originally it was a title (the Messiah) and not a name.
How do use await in a sentence?
As a verb. Example: I await your arrival.
