When will the Messiah come for the stupid Jews? – The Jews wait for the Messiah many times … but he never comes!

[The Jews are forever waiting for their Messiah, but he never seems to arrive in order to kill all the Goyim that the Jews hate so much. The Jewish Rabbi, Menachem Mendel Schneerson was a particularly evil, racist Jew. I think there are streets in the USA named after this filthy old piece of garbage. Jan]

Here’s a list of the times when Jews believed their silly Messiah would pitch up:-

Jews have had many periods in history when large numbers believed the Messiah was coming imminently, often triggered by crisis, oppression, or charismatic figures. Below is a summary of major episodes where messianic expectation reached a serious, widespread level among Jews:

1. First Century CE – Roman Oppression & Second Temple Period
   Context: Roman rule in Judea was harsh, and many Jews hoped for a political-military messiah.

Result: Several messianic claimants emerged (e.g., Judas of Galilee, Theudas).

Peak: This culminated in the Jewish Revolt (66–70 CE), which led to the destruction of the Second Temple — a catastrophic event for Jewish messianism.

Many believed the Messiah would appear to overthrow Rome, which did not happen.

1. Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–135 CE)
   Leader: Simon Bar Kokhba was hailed by some (including Rabbi Akiva) as the Messiah.

Scale: This was perhaps the most serious collective Jewish messianic belief ever. He led a major revolt against Rome and briefly established an independent Jewish state.

Outcome: Crushed by the Romans. Jerusalem was turned into a pagan city, and messianic hope was severely wounded.

1. 7th Century – Persian & Byzantine Wars
   Context: Some Jews believed the wars between the Persians and Byzantines were signs of the end times.

Expectation: Many believed the Messiah would come soon to liberate the Jews from Christian Byzantine rule.

Result: Nothing happened, and expectations faded.

1. 11th Century – First Crusade (1096)
   Context: European Jews faced brutal massacres during the Crusades.

Belief: Some thought these persecutions were signs of the end, and that divine deliverance was imminent.

Widespread: Reports of increased fasting, prayer, and apocalyptic speculation.

1. 12th Century – Yemenite and European Movements
   Figures: In Yemen and France, various men declared themselves the Messiah or were believed to be.

Maimonides wrote warnings against false messiahs in this period, indicating widespread concern.

1. 1492–16th Century – After the Spanish Expulsion
   Context: The expulsion of Jews from Spain was seen by many as a messianic trigger.

Mystical Interpretation: Kabbalistic movements interpreted the suffering as a birth pang of the messiah (Hebrew: chevlei mashiach).

1. Sabbatai Zevi (1626–1676)
   The most explosive episode in Jewish messianic history.

Belief: He declared himself the Messiah around 1665; huge numbers of Jews across Europe, the Ottoman Empire, and North Africa believed him.

Scale: Arguably the largest messianic movement in Jewish history since Bar Kokhba.

Collapse: He converted to Islam under pressure from the Ottoman Sultan in 1666 — devastating Jewish morale.

1. 18th Century – Jacob Frank and the Frankists
   Claim: Claimed to be a messianic successor to Sabbatai Zevi.

Result: A heretical movement with bizarre teachings; some converted to Christianity. Condemned by rabbis.

1. 20th Century – Holocaust and Aftermath
   Some Jews, especially in Hasidic circles, interpreted the Holocaust as a possible prelude to redemption.

State of Israel (1948): While not universally seen as messianic, some religious Zionists considered it a step toward the messianic age.

1. Lubavitcher Rebbe (Menachem Mendel Schneerson, d. 1994)
   Belief: Many Chabad Hasidim believed he was the Messiah — some still do, even after his death.

Controversial: This caused deep debates within the Jewish world.
