First off you are reading a translation into English. You have to go back into the Hebrew to have a better understanding of the text or any other text in the Tanach. And then to understand a prophecy requires more study.

I can provide a translation from a Jewish theologian if you would like?

When the messiah decides show up we’ll see who is correct on this issue.

Kicking against the goads of time. By the oracles of YHWH revealed to Daniel and Isaiah, your timeline leaves you two options. First of which is the completion of Isaiah 61 or the completion of Daniel's last "week" of 70. Meaning you will either embrace Yeshua as Messiah at His second coming or the man of sin, the antichrist.

For we see below the following. The portion in bold Messiah Yeshua fulfilled and the remainder will be fulfilled when He comes as conquering King. It is good news for Israel!

Isaiah 61:

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

I have a Jewish translation, but it’s the interpretation that makes the difference. How do you know that the way the Torah is read by Jews is correct? By the Oral tradition. Have you taken the time to study that? Have you taken the time to walk out Torah in letter and in Spirit? Christians aren’t interested and they don’t have to.

I don’t have to accept anybody as messiah. Keep in mind that just because you are a messiah doesn’t mean you are God.

Moses was a messiah, but he was careful never to declare himself God or allow his followers to do declare him such. You can have the Spirit of God on you, but that does not make you God. You can speak on God’s behalf, but that does not make you God. You have to know the difference between the message and the source of it and the messenger.

Man has a very difficult time accepting a God that is beyond time and space and can only be seen with the soul not the physical eyes. You can’t put God in a box because He is infinite. He isn’t even male or female because he is beyond the physical and gender/sex. So man’s imperfect mind comes up with ways to get around that which ends up as idolatry.

When God’s soul touches yours you’ll never the same. When you see anthropomorphisms of God that doesn’t mean He’s physical. Even Hebrew, as good as it is, cannot even begin to truly describe the vastness of His being.

God is perfect and His Torah is perfect, eternal and is not allowed to added to. There are numerous verses that say that. To say that he made a mistake when he wrote it means that He is a fraud.

For the past 2,000 years people have tried to come up with additions and new revelations but those aren’t allowed. It doesn’t matter if it is the New Testament, the Koran, the Book of Mormon or others.

There is one God and one Torah and one people to lift up the rest of us to Him so we can have a close relationship with Him. It’s up to us to accept the Torah as is and the understanding of it as it has been passed down via the Oral Tradition from Moses to the 70 Elders, to the Pharisees, and to the rabbis of today.

And the icing on the cake is to have our souls be touched by the Spirit of God (a mikvah or baptism in His Spirit) so that we can live out His will in balance with what is written.
