because they supposed to read the prophecies about the messiah and they said JESUS was the guy that the jewish people were awaiting even Jesus didn't fuillfill them because he didn't restore Israel and he died on a cross and for showing the second part of his story, someone said jesus will come back someday and on sundays I read too much that Jesus was waiting to come during the apostles time but he didn't and later they say for God one day it's like thousand of years and some christians believe God created the earth literally in six days and the seventh day he restored in his throne and he will destroy the earth because he want to save some people and according to the book of revelations, Jesus is coming back angry with red eyes?

Nope. It is based Jesus and only on Jesus. What he did, what he said, and who he said he was (the only son of God). Anything other than this has nothing basically to do with Jesus. Jesus is either the son of God or he isn't. He said he was and said he was the only son of God. This is the main stumbling block. He is what he says he is or he isn't, end of discussion. Those that believe he is what he says he is are for him, those that don't believe who he said he was don't believe him. He doesn't leave any in between ground in your choice.

Jesus DID fulfill all the old testament prophecies concerning the arrival of the messiah, but he was rejected by the Jews and was the perfect lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. The people thought that he was going to restore Israel to greatness at that time, but they did not understand that he came to be the sacrifice for sins. God did create all things in 6 days and he rested on the seventh, and, to God, one day is as 1,000 years. He (Jesus) is going to return to destroy the wicked and rescue the righteous, and no, he will not come back with angry red eyes.

Yes, but not just the kind of prophecy that is futuristic. Prophecy, as I learned it, is "to bring out from behind a curtain," it's a word that takes something formerly unknown, and places it on display, whether futuristic, or just a revelation of something true.

I think most religions are claiming to be that way as well.

The interesting thing about prophecies is that some of them happen once at a certain point in history, while other prophecies repeat themselves. Jesus is the one they have been waiting for.
