How
could the Jews miss the coming of
Jesus and reject him.
It seems around 2000 odd years-ago that the Jews clearly under
oppression
from the Romans awaited a saviour, to set them free, trouble was like
Judas
trying to force Jesus' hand, they believed he'd come and fight, a
warrior king.
He could have done, with all the angels and what not, very easily, but
God
is love, was the kingdom of heaven to be brought about by violence,
well?
After 911 we all know how that kind of thing feels, solves nothing, all
this
tit for tat.
Below are just some of the
prophecies
foretold about the coming king, messiah, son, immanuel, the christ etc.
Following uses King James so please use say an NIV or other version to
better understand, okay.

said,
Hail,
thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou
among
women.
29 And when she saw him, she was
troubled at
his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should
be.

thy
womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. |
