Jesus is not the Messiah

I will now argue why Jesus is the MessiahI. Jesus fulfilled OT prophecyJesus fulfilled over 300 OT prohecies that were required of the Messiah. I don't have enough room to list all of them, so I will go ahead and list a few.1. Jesus will be born in the town of Bethlehem. Prophecy: Micah 5:2. Fulfilled: Luke 2:1–7.2. Jesus will be called out of Egypt. Prophecy: Hosea 11:1. Fulfilled: Matthew 2:13–15.3. Jesus will be a descendent of Isaac and Jacob. Prophecy: Genesis 17:19 and Numbers 24:17. Fulfilled: Matthew 1:2.4. Jesus entered the temple. This is important because the temple was destroyed in A. D. 70 and was never rebuilt. Prophecy: Malachi 3:1. Fulfilled: Luke 2:25–27.5. Jesus will be from the lineage of King David. Prophecy: Jeremiah 23:5. Fulfilled: Matthew 1:6.6. Jesus’ birth will be accompanied with great suffering and sorrow. Prophecy: Jeremiah 31:15. Fulfilled: Matthew 2:16. II, Jesus fulfilled the purpose of the MessiahDaniel considers the prophecy in Jeremiah (Jeremiah 25:10-14; 29:10-14) regarding the seventy years of captivity (Daniel 9:2). Daniel knows that the seventy years is coming to an end soon since it is 539 B. C. and the Jews have been in captivity since 605 B. C. [1] This would mean that four years are left. He prays before God and pleads for forgiveness for Israel’s sin (3-19). Daniel then sees the angel Gabriel who tells him important information about the future of Israel (24-27). God was obviously going to send forth the Messiah to save the people from their sin. There would be a decree to rebuild Jerusalem.1. . Jerusalem and the Temple would be rebuilt.2. Then an anointed one (Messiah) would be "cut off" (an idiom for "rejected" or "killed").3. . Then Jerusalem and the Temple would be destroyed again. Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled all of these events in his lifetime. Jewish Rabbi Rashi interpreted the text as referring to events in the first century relating to the Messiah. The text uses the word Messiah. In Deuteronomy 18:15-18, Moses told the Jews that God would raise up another prophet like Moses. After Moses, there was a succession of prophets, including Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and finally Jesus Christ. Jesus was very much like Moses. Both were delivered from death as infants. Both were prophets. Both performed miracles. Both were leaders. And both were intermediaries between God and man. Moses offered to die, if necessary, if God would forgive the sins of the people that Moses was leading (see Exodus 32:30-33). Jesus did die for our sins, so that people could enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus proclaimed he was the Messiah. John 4:19-26Isaiah 9:6-7"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. "This is very obviously pointing to the Messiah as an individual. Jesus was the only one who was crucified, and bore the weight of sin. He claimed equality with the father. (John 14:6) (John 8:12) (John 10:25-30)III First Conclusion:If the Messiah is God, and Jesus is not the Messiah although he claimed it and proved it, then who is?
