If one does not read the Hebrew Bible with this a priori assumption, the idea that these verses refer to J*sus is simply an unwarranted assumption.

Did you know that at the time of Jesus's birth people in Israel were actively looking for the birth of the Messiah based on OT prophecies about the time of his birth?

Did you know they're looking for him now? Did you know that the weekday `Amidah (recited three times a day) contains a prayer for the coming of Mashiach? Of course, it also contains prayers for the ingathering of all Jews into Israel, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the restoration of the literal Davidic throne. They're all basically referring to the same thing. The chr*stian "spiritual messiah" is an erroneous concept alien to the Torah.

BTW, did you know that the Torah is the supreme Revelation and that the Prophets and Hagiographa have lesser, secondary authority? That the Torah sits in judgment on all prophets and all claims of revelation? Taht the messiah is merely the servant of the Torah whose job is to expedite the full observance of the Torah by gathering in the exiles and rebuilding the Temple?

No "prophet" can declare the Torah "fulfilled" and replace it with something else. If this were true the Torah would plainly state that it is temporary. it does not.

You chr*stians read your bibles all out of order. First you read the "new testament," then you read the Prophets, and finally you read that "low" and boring Torah. Try reading your bible chronologically. The Torah comes first. Nothing can contradict it.
