Jesus did not fulfil the messianic prophecies,

How so and why not?

Oh, and no one's version of history is ever objective. Not even in an encyclopedia.

Very briefly, there are four primary messianic prophecies (and many secondary ones). The primary ones are: world peace, ingathering of Israel, the building of the third temple, and universal knowledge of God. None of these was fulfilled within the lifetime of Jesus, which is why they were either spiritualized or put off for some future 'second coming'. There is nothing in the Hebrew scriptures which prophecies a second coming of the messiah.
