I'm a Jewish person who doesn't believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah. Can you prove that He was?


I'll do my best to prove this truth, but only God can open a person's eyes and help them see it. The Jewish Messiah is prophesied in the Jewish Bible or Torah, which is the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is declared that He would have to be born of a woman and that He would one day rule on the earth (Isa. 9:6-7; Micah 5:2). Both of these verses declare that the coming Messiah would be a ruler. Now we have to interpret them with other Scriptures in the Jewish Bible or our Old Testament. Notice the following Scriptures:
Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He is despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, everyone, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all....

Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
(Isa. 53:1, 3-6, 12 NKJ)
According to this section of Scripture, the Messiah would first suffer and be rejected, then He would rule. I believe that this section of Scripture, along with others, describes Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He has suffered and will one day return to rule.
