Do not fill this in! ==Judaism== {{Main|Judaism's view of Jesus}} {{See also|Rejection of Jesus}} [[Judaism]] teaches that Jesus is one of the false [[Jewish Messiah claimants]] because he failed to fulfill any [[Jewish messianism|Messianic prophecies]], which include: <blockquote> # Build the [[Third Temple]] ({{bibleverse|Ezekiel|37:26β28|KJV}}). # Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel ({{bibleverse|Isaiah|43:5β6|KJV}}). # Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." ({{bibleverse|Isaiah|2:4|KJV}}) # Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world β on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" ({{bibleverse|Zechariah|14:9|KJV}}).<ref name="simmons">{{Cite web |last=Tzvi |date=2009-05-09 |title=Do Jews Believe In Jesus? {{!}} Aish |url=https://aish.com/why-jews-dont-believe-in-jesus/ |access-date=2023-11-05 |website=Aish.com |language=en-US}}</ref></blockquote> Regarding the Christian idea that these prophecies will be fulfilled during a "second coming," ''[[Ohr Somayach, Jerusalem|Ohr Samayach]]'' states "we find this to be a contrived answer, since there is no mention of a second coming in the Jewish Bible. Second, why couldn't God accomplish His goals the first time round?"<ref name="ohr">{{Cite web |title=Why Jews Don't Believe in Jesus |url=https://ohr.edu/ask_db/ask_main.php/2637/Q1/ |access-date=2023-11-05 |website=Ohr Somayach}}</ref> Rabbi [[David Wolpe]] believes that the Second Coming was "grown out of genuine disappointment.
