One of the various Jewish sources of our Sages (CHAZA''L) on Mashiach, which NO ONE ELSE BUT YESHUA CAN FIT, THUS FULFILLING THE TANACH PROPHECIES

Talmud - Mas. Sukkah 52a

And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives

apart.1 Is it not, they said, an a fortiori argument? If in the future2 when they will be engaged in

mourning and the Evil Inclination will have no power over them,3 the Torah4 nevertheless says, men

separately and women separately, how much more so now5 when they are engaged in rejoicing and

the Evil Inclination has sway over them.6

What is the cause of the mourning [mentioned in the last cited verse]?1 — R. Dosa and the Rabbis

differ on the point. One explained, The cause is the slaying of Messiah the son of Joseph,7 and the

other explained, The cause is the slaying of the Evil Inclination.

It is well according to him who explains that the cause is the slaying of Messiah the son of Joseph,

since that well agrees with the Scriptural verse, And they shall look upon me because they have

thrust him through, and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only son;8 but according to

him who explains the cause to be the slaying of the Evil Inclination, is this [it may be objected] an

occasion for mourning? Is it not rather an occasion for rejoicing? Why then should they weep? —

[The explanation is] as R. Judah expounded: In the time to come9 the Holy One, blessed be He, will

bring the Evil Inclination and slay it in the presence of the righteous and the wicked. To the

righteous it will have the appearance of a towering hill, and to the wicked it will have the appearance

of a hair thread. Both the former and the latter will weep; the righteous will weep saying, ‘How were

we able to overcome such a towering hill!’ The wicked also will weep saying, ‘How is it that we

were unable to conquer this hair thread!’ And the Holy One, blessed be He, will also marvel together

with them, as it is said, Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of

this people in those days, it shall10 also be marvellous in My eyes.11

R. Assi stated, The Evil Inclination is at first like the thread of a spider, but ultimately12 becomes

like cart ropes, as it is said, Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were

with a cart-rope.13

Our Rabbis taught, The Holy One, blessed be He, will say to the Messiah, the son of David (May

he reveal himself speedily in our days!), ‘Ask of me anything, and I will give it to thee’, as it is said,

I will tell of the decree etc. this day have I begotten thee, ask of me and I will give the nations for thy

inheritance.14 But when he will see that the Messiah the son of Joseph is slain, he will say to Him,

‘Lord of the Universe, I ask of Thee only the gift of life’.’As to life’, He would answer him, ‘Your

father David has already prophesied this concerning you’, as it is said, He asked life of thee, thou

gavest it him, [even length of days for ever and ever].15
