Thanks rosends, for your response. btw, are you an orthodox rabbi ?
Anyway, my post was intended to be friendly and not an attack on Judaism in anyway. It is interesting that both Judaism and Christianity are expecting the same person - but with a different outcome of course.
There are couple of things to look for from my Christian perspective.
1. that the person is anointed the King of Israel following right after the Gog/Magog event.
2. that at the same time there will be two persons, the Christian bible calls the two witnesses, showing up in Jerusalem, warning Jews that the newly anointed King of Israel is not really the messiah and to be on the watch-out.
Let's just watch together without being at each other's throats. I am pro Jew, and don't claim to be a so-called spiritual Jew,
and wish everyone here the best in the long haul. As well as listen to your side.
