The Messiah was never meant to be an object of worship. The Messiah was suppose to be a political king. Jesus was never a political king. Jesus was a deeply rooted Pharrisse Jew. In his day, many people called Jesus rabbi.The notion of an innocent, semi-divine being who will sacrifice himself to save us from the consequences of our own sins is a purely Pagan and Christian concept that has no basis in Jewish thought or scripture. In Judaic texts, the term messiah was used for all kings, high priests, certain warriors, but never eschatological figures. In the Torah moshiach is used 38 times: two patriarchs, six high priests, once for Cyrus, 29 Israelite kings such as Saul and David. Not once is the word moshiach used in reference to the awaited Messiah. Even in the apocalyptic book of Daniel, the only time moshiach is mentioned is in connection to a murdered high priest. The Dead Sea Scrolls, the Pseudepigrapha, and Apocrypha never mention the Messiah. When Christians point out to Isaiah 53 and Psalms 22--- these verses say nothing about a Messiah. According to the Jews of Ancient Israel-- the Messiah was suppose to be a great warrior king like David, who would over throw the enemies of Israel & establish Israel as a state. According to the Jewish Apocryphal book Psalms of Solomon 17:21-32, the Messiah was suppose to be a powerful warrior-king. Jesus was not a warrior king who took out the Romans. answering-christian-claims/JewishMessiahandJesus.html
