No, Orthodox Jews are not expecting the true Messiah — they expect a human 'superman' who will restore Israel's temple and bring peace, which Les Feldick identifies as the Antichrist.
According to Les Feldick, Orthodox Jews today regard Jesus of Nazareth as an imposter and blasphemer, and they are still looking for their Messiah's first coming. They expect a man — not a divine being — who is a 'superman' with military, economic, and charismatic abilities. Les points out this description matches the Antichrist, not the true Messiah.
John 5:43 — Jesus said another would come in his own name and Israel would receive him.
The Bible, specifically in the Gospel of John, records Jesus warning Israel about a future deceiver. Jesus said, "I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive" (John 5:43). This prophecy indicates that Israel would reject the true Messiah and accept a false one.
Les Feldick teaches that most Jews today, like Saul of Tarsus before his conversion, still consider Jesus of Nazareth an imposter and blasphemer, believing that removing His name from Israel is doing God a favor [Clip 0]. They are not looking for a divine Messiah but a human 'superman' with military, economic, and charismatic qualities [Clip 1]. Les notes that this figure is a perfect description of the Antichrist, who will sign a seven-year treaty with Israel, appear to guarantee their security, and permit temple worship — all of which matches what the Jews are anticipating [Clips 2, 4, 6].
Les Feldick explains that the majority mentality of most Jews, including today, is that Jesus was an imposter and a blasphemer. They believe doing away with His name from amongst Israel is serving their God. This was the same mindset Saul of Tarsus had before his conversion.
According to Les, Jewish people have told him they expect a 'superman' — a man with tremendous military, economic, and charismatic abilities. They cannot comprehend that the Messiah will be God. Les tells them they are describing the Antichrist, but they do not see it. The rabbis quoted in the Jerusalem Post describe a Messiah who will rule the world in peace and elevate Israel above all nations.
Israel's anticipation is tied to having their temple and temple worship restored. The Antichrist will sign a treaty permitting temple worship, and Israel will be elated. Everything happening in Israel today is with the mindset of looking for their Messiah to come for the first time, not a return. Signs like the Red Heifer preparations point to their expectation that His coming is near.
