...and that he was the Messiah that was predicted by each and every seer...

Curious - how will the Jews know the Messiah when they see him? It is estimated that Jesus met over 300 OT (Torah) prophecies.

What other signs or markers for Messiah would the Jews accept?

I don’t speak for the Jews - heck, no one speak for the Jews, not even other Jews - but for what I know, your question is liable for as many answers as there are individual Jewish opinions.

You see, Maimonides aside, today’s Judaism isn’t a systematic “creedal” faith. It would be fair to say that they are all like Thomas the Apostle was: everything is mere speculation until they meet the Messiah in person and then all empirical doubt will be dispelled for them - and even then, many will question him. :-)

When the messiah (who will be fully human)comes there will be peace on earth.

The messiah will come only once.

All Jews will be Torah observant. Clearly there are those who aren’t.

The Third Temple will be rebuilt.

All the peoples of the earth will worship the one true G-d.

There are many other messianic qualifications.

One must fulfill ALL of the requirements in order to be the messiah.
