It seems the Jews today are looking for a Messiah who can be called the son of David but they do not want to call Jesus that. I guess the cross might have something to do with that. If they believe Jesus is The Son of Man who was seen by Daniel and Enoch it will all make sense to them (John 8). I think it comes down to who was speaking to Daniel in the last two chapters of the Book of Daniel and appeared to Daniel by the river Tigris - some say Gabriel but there was this one like a man earlier speaking to Gabriel - it seems in writing Revelation John was inspired by the Holy Spirit in showing this person to be the Son of Man - Jesus in Heaven over aeons before He was made flesh by the Holy Spirit - this puts a new light on what it means that He is the Messiah - they need to believe this - we all do.
