Hi Uri, Since your messiah already showed up, the question was about whether he accomplished what the Hebrew Bible says about the messianic agenda items of world peace and the universal knowledge of G-d. According to the Hebrew Bible, the promised Jewish Messiah will accomplish the messianic agenda on his first and only appearance - there is no "second coming", i.e., there is no "second chance" for him. If a person thought to be the Messiah doesn't accomplish this messianic agenda on his "watch", he is a false messiah, such as Bar Kochba and numerous others who followed after him up to even the 20th century..

I don't argue that is what Judaism believes, Uri. I have confidence that you know your own religion quiet well, in depth. But I think you will have a hard time proving that solely from the text.

Moses didn't accomplish freedom for the Children of Israel until his Second coming to Egypt. Right? Didn't he bring the message "I am" who sent him, the universal knowledge of God's name, to the Children of Israel, on his Second coming to Egypt?

Likewise, isn't universal world wide knowledge of God one of the things that the messiah is supposed to do? Well, Moses did it for the Children of Israel on his Second coming to Egypt, not his first. He was rejected by his own people the first time.

Exodus 2:14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. kjv

3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
