Yes and the ancient Rabbis also knew that according to the prophecy
of the weeks in Daniel the Messiah was due before the destruction of the
Temple in 70 AD. So the Jewish traditions state that the Messiah came but
because that generation were unworthy he was taken up to Heaven and would
return again later. This is some traditions that say it was Messiah son of
Joseph that came and others that it was Messiah son of David. They also
believe that during this Messianic Age that somehow the spiritual presence
of Mashiach ben Joseph is with every Jew but also that in every generation
there are individuals that are the special representatives of this Messiah
ben Joseph that share in his spirit in a special way. These traditions are
very strong among some of the Hassidim and the Lubavitchers believe that
the late Rebbe was the potential Messiah son of Joseph of his generation
and some of them believe he was actually the Messiah son of Joseph and
that he will be resurrected and come back to redeemed the Jews. These
Lubavitchers also believe that the Messiah is God which has horrified
other religious Jews.
