Why the Jews don't believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah? Jewish rabbis and Talmud's teachings tell us why they don't believe that Yeshua is the Messiah. Jewish rabbis say that there are many reasons why Yeshua can't be the promised Messiah. However, if we research the Scriptures (Tanakh - Bible), so we will see that Yeshua is the Messiah.
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto Me because they {That is, the nations. See verse 9.} have thrust him through; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. JPS
KJV: And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Talmud (Sukkah 52 a) says about Zec12:10 that it means the Messiah: "In the right is certainly He who explains that as a reason is killing of the Messiah, the son of Joseph, for that suits the verse well, 'They will look on me, the one they have pierced. And they will mourn for him..."
Rabbi Rashi has said that a common view among the rabbis is that Zec 12:10 refer to the Messiah: "Our rabbis have interpreted that this refers to the Messiah, the son of Joseph.”
Rabbi Moses Alsheikh has also said that Zec 12:10 speaks about the Messiah:"They will look on me, for they raise their eyes on me in perfect repentance, when they see Him whom they have pierced, the Messiah, the son of Joseph; for our blessed rabbis have said that He will take on Him all the guilt of Israel, and that He will then be killed in the war of bringing about atonement, quite like Israel would have pierced Him, for because of their sins. He has died; and so that full atonement would belong to them, they repent and look on this blessed and say that nobody else can forgive them, who mourns for him, who died for the sake of their sins: this is what means 'they will look on me".
Old Jewish learned have said very clearly that Zec 12:10 speak about the Messiah. Only Yeshua has filled the signs of Zec 12, because on Calvary Yeshua was pierced for the sake of sins of mankind. Rabbi Moses Alsheikh also believed that Zec 12:10 speaks about the Messiah, and that they will look on Messiah, whom they have pierced. Then rabbi said that they (Jews) will look on Him who died for the sake of their sins! Yeshua died for the sake of sins. From Talmud can be found very interesting teaching:
Talmud (Sanhedrin 97. b) "The son of David will arrive during a generation which is either completely righteous or completely sinful; during a time that is completely righteous, such as has been written Isa 60:21, all your people will be righteous and possess the land forever; or during a time when all people are sinful, as has been written Isa 59:16, “He saw that there was no one, He was appalled that there was no one to intervene… in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven (Dan 7:13), and it has been written, gentle and riding on a donkey: if they are righteous, He will come with the clouds of heaven, if not, gentle and riding on a donkey.”
As we have seen before that Yeshua's contemporaries said to Him that He is son of David. Yeshua rode with a donkey to Jerusalem and will come with the clouds of heaven after that when Jews believe in Him. Old Jews learned recognized very clearly the Messiah. All identifying marks suits to Yeshua, because He is the Messiah.
