Jesus Christ is the Messiah as Fortold in the Tenakh (Old Testament)

In the days of Rabban Gamaliel, Israel looked to the coming Messiah ben David (Anointed-One, Son of David) as the promised King of Israel who will execute divine justice (Jeremiah 23:5), establish God's kingdom on Earth (Daniel2:44), restore worship in Israel (Jeremiah 23:5-8, Jeremiah 33:6-18, Micah 4:1-2) and make peace in the world (Isaiah 2:2-4, Isaiah 11:1-10, Micah 4:3) among other things. Even the disciples of Jesus asked concerning His (Messiah's) restoring the kingdom to Israel (Acts 1:6). What these people of Israel were lacking in their understanding of the coming Messiah (and still are today) was His two-fold ministry. Messiah had to first come as a suffering servant and provide Himself as a Lamb to be killed as an ultimate and final atonement for sin. Both Jews and Christians recognize the end-time coming of Messiah, which Christian's refer to as the Second Advent of Christ, but unlike Christians, Jews do not recognize the need for Messiah to make an atonement for sin with His own blood before the end-time consummation. This is the dividing point between both Jews who reject Jesus as the Messiah and Christians who recognize Him as Israel's Messiah. Consider the conversation the Pharisees had with Jesus concerning the promised Messiah, "While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, 'What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?' They say unto him, 'The son of David.' He saith unto them, 'How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?' And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions" (Matthew 22:41-46). I believe Jesus was here referring to the divinity of Messiah. Jews see Jesus as Jesus ben Joseph, but Christians see Him as Jesus ben Elohim. This controversy of Messiah's deity is also part of the great divide between Jews and Christians concerning the identity of Messiah. Christians will often point to Matthew 1:23 as being the fulfilment of Isaiah 7:14. The problem is, to my knowledge, Jews don't concede that Isaiah 7 is referring at all to Messiah. This exemplifies the typical debate between Jews and Christians, they don't agree to the verses quoted. Of course I do believe such verses as Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, and many others are referring to Jesus Christ, but I don't think they ultimately prove Jesus as Messiah. Lets first look at Daniel 9. "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined" (Daniel 9:24-26). I believe the Jesus Christ fits the time frame, but since this is debatable, I will only focus on the events related to Messiah. Notice Messiah is to be "cut off" which relates to His death. This cannot be referring to the end-time coming of Messiah since after His coming at this time He will rule (and live) forever. Notice also that He is killed "not for Himself." Who is He killed for? The context of this passage is the time when, upon the holy city, reconciliation for inqiuity will be made. The Hebrew word "kaphar," translated here as "reconciliation," is also translated more than 70 times as "atonement." This relates very much to Romans 5:8-11, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." By the death and shedding of the blood of Messiah, we receive the atonement. Notice also that in Daniel 9:26 that the "city and the sanctuary" would be destroyed. Jesus Himself foretold of the destruction of the temple (Matthew 24:1-2). I believe Daniel 9 is speaking very strongly about Jesus as the Messiah. Consider also Isaiah 53. "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken" (Isaiah 53:2-8). Who is the "he" being referred to in this passage? I believe it is Jesus Christ. Notice He has no "beauty," and by all accounts Jesus looked just like an average Jewish man indistinguishable from His disciples for He took on the seed of Abraham, looking just as any other Jew (Hebrews 2:16). Notice He is despised and rejected as of course we know the Gospel accounts tell us of Jesus. He is a man of sorrows (Luke 22:44). Notice also that He is wounded for the people's transgressions (1 Corinthians 15:3). On Him was laid the iniquity of all and He was as a lamb for the slaughter (John 1:29). I think it is very clear that Isaiah 53 is referring to Messiah, but more on this in the next round.
