Quick question for everyone

Hey there, everyone!
I’m trying to find out what the Catholic/Christian response is to these arguments made by a Jewish fellow. I’m mostly wondering about the 4 messianic prophecies that they claim Jesus never fulfilled. They also say that Jesus doing them in the second coming isn’t seen anywhere in the Old Testament and that according to their Jewish sources, everything would be done outright.

Also, in terms of the verse where Jesus says that until Heaven and Earth pass away, not a tidle or an iota will be removed, until all is fulfilled. What is the “all” that needs to be fulfilled and how do we know that?
Thanks everyone for looking at this. I hope that no cross-religious arguments come up, but if anything just some well-intentioned friendly debate to seek the truth. May God, our Lord, guide us all. Amen.

In Judaism there has been a belief in the Josephite Messiah (in the mold of Joseph) and the Davidic Messiah. I don’t know if this is the Church’s official stance, but to me it seems like instead of two different people, these are both the same Person coming at two different times.

Most of the objections arise because they misinterpret what the Messianic kingdom would be. It isn’t a kingdom of political worldly rule (John 18:36) Neither is it a kingdom limited to earth. It encompasses both heaven and earth - simultaneously.

On earth, as a visible entity, it is the Catholic Church where the teachings of Jesus are proclaimed and sacramental graces are bestowed. It is where the perfect, pure and holy sacrifice is offered everywhere in the Mass (Malachi 1:11). It is in those people who accept & live the rules/ways of Jesus, the Messiah. It is all the living who are in the Mystical body of Christ ( Ephesians 5:30-31 ).

In heaven it is comprised all the saints. Heaven is the perfect fulfillment of the Messianic kingdom. With His redemptive death and resurrection, heaven’s gates - previously closed to man - were opened and all the waiting good souls were able to enter into the fullness of the heavenly kingdom. Here in heaven is where the fullness of “perfection characterized by universal peace and recognition of God” reigns - heaven is the “land where He gathers all His people”.

Regarding the Temple: Jesus interpreted the meaning of that prophecy - the temple is His body. John 2:18-22

The author of the article gives many Scripture passages, more than I have time to look up. Would have helped if he’d provided links.
Also, the article contains far too many points to be covered in one thread. I only touched on a couple – and look how long that got!

I know quite a few people with an ethnic Jewish background that will disagree with that claim. One does not stop being a Jew because he is a Christian.
