This issue concerning Yeshua not having brought worldwide peace is a result of a misconception many have about the purpose of the Messiah. The Messiah was not just to come to bring peace to the whole world. More than half the prophecies about the Messiah speak of His coming and dying for the sins of the world. Many rabbis recognized that the Messiah had to suffer and die, and rabbinic literature at one time speaks of two Messiah coming: Messiah Ben-Joseph (the Suffering Messiah) and Messiah Ben-David (the Conquering Messiah). In reality, there are not two Messiahs coming at one time, but one Messiah coming twice. The first time to suffer and die for the sins of the world, and the second time to set up His Kingdom over the entire world (Isaiah 53). Prophetically, we are very near to the Second Coming of the Messiah Yeshua (Matthew 24:3-21).
