Could we not say that Jews and Gentiles are relying on faith? Where’s your second coming already??

Depends on what you mean by faith, for "blind faith" is not the same thing as a faith that is reasonable. If the scepter of Judah was not to depart until the coming of the Messiah, for example, but then the scepter departs and no Messiah comes, then you have a blind faith.

Your prooftext is cherry-picked. Judaism is a bit more resilient.

You and every Christian is waiting, waiting... From your very words. 2000 years. Are there workshops and self-help groups for that? My point is, Jews also try to find meaning or reason for the wait.

These sure are interesting times.
