   lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and   
   the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead   
   them etc." This is what is supposed to happen, as soon as there shall   
   come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse (the father of King David)   
   and a Branch shall grow out of his roots; that is as soon as the   
   messiah comes. Nowhere here is mentioned that the messiah will be   
   killed and that these prophecies will happen at least 2000 years   
   later. On the contrary; when the messiah comes redemption comes. And   
   also for this messianic prophecy you don't have to be a brain surgeon   
   or a rocket scientist in order to see that it is not fulfilled.   
   Nothing of this all was done by Jesus. Conclusion: He was not the   
   messiah.
