Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah because: Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies. Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah. Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations. Jewish belief is based on national revelation.

He actually did meet all four points. But.......bad for you.
If Christian believers are wrong - nothing lost.
If you are wrong - you have lost everything.
You might do a little more research there!
Jesus Himself gave the impression that the Jews knew who He was (in his parable of the landlord and the tenants); they beat the servants sent to collect the rents, and kill the landlord’s son (who they definitely recognize). Some Jews did accept Jesus as the Son of God (the first Christians), while others, though they knew who He was, rejected Him.
The punishment in the parable isn’t enviable; God will decide that.
Gentiles are grateful for your rejection.
Israel does get a second chance.
Understand the theology from an evangelical perspective.
Messianic Jews surely believe in Jesus.
Lots of people have fallen for that one.
They will.
OK, Now that I know why Jews don’t believe in Jesus, someone please tell me why American Jews believe in Obama.
Even if Jews at the time of Christ did not believe Him to be the Messiah, I figure 2,000+ years without any more prophets would pretty much settle the question for any objective person.
One of the greatest gifts a man can give another man is to accept that he reveres his religion as you do yours. Right now in the world, only Islam does not allow others their life and liberty. But when our pilgrims left Europe, that was not true.
Jews think Christianity is great — for Christians. We love your devotion, honesty, and kindness.
Why Jews Don’t Believe In Jesus & Why Muslims Don’t Believe In Jesus.
There are so many mistakes in that article, I am very surprised that Aish published it. Having said that, there are reasons, many, why Hebrews do not accept Jesus as the messiah but I will not dis those who do.
And for the record, there is no such thing as a messianic jew. You can be one or the other, but not both.
“He actually did meet all four points. But.......bad for you.”
Actually, no, he didn’t. The Hebrew Moschiach will be descended from TWO houses. David and Aaron.
Except for we Christians.
Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. (1 Corinthians 15:12-19 ESV)
Obvious Christian premise. Jews look for a Messiah, not THE Messiah.
“And for the record, there is no such thing as a messianic jew. You can be one or the other, but not both.”
I have to disagree. There are many people, Jewish ethnically, who believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Though some claim the existence of a “God gene” which causes humans to instictively search for God, there is no evidence that the search for God is limited by our DNA.
It is impossible to be Jewish and accept Jesus as Christians do. Does anyone really not understand this?
This notion that one better accept Jesus just in case is sad to me. Anyone who wants to impose their beliefs as universal truths are wasting everyone’s time.

Actually there are Christians who are Jews, and Messianic Baptists, and Muslims and Jews who believe in Jesus.
It is a great big world out there.
The entire history of the Jews is one of them running away and rejecting the God who delivered them from slavery in Egypt. Why should we believe it would be any different with regard to their Messiah. God has hardened their heart now, until the times of the Gentiles have been fulfilled.
