1. The Jews believed the Messiah would be a conqueror who would free them from worldly oppression upon his arrival.
2. The Jews did not understand that the Messiah would be God in the flesh.
3. The Jews most certainly did not think that God would, 1) come in the flesh, and then 2) be tortured to death.
4. The Old Testament is replete with prophecies laying these details out, but the Jews were unfortunately blind to the facts (noted during Christ's entry into Jerusalem on a donkey) .

The Prophecy...

With these things being said, many names have meanings; here are the meanings of the names in the Genealogy from Adam to Noah...

• Adam: man (colloquialism)
• Seth: appointed
• Enosh: mortal, frail, or miserable
• Kenan (Cainan): sorrow, dirge, elegy
• Mahalalel: the Blessed God (coming from Mahalal: blessed or praise | El: name for God)
• Jared: this is from the verb which means “shall come down”
• Enoch: commencement or teaching
• Methuselah: his death shall bring (coming from Meth: death | Shalach: to bring/send forth)
• Lamech: despairing (root of this word is where we get our English word lament or lamentation)
• Noah: comfort, rest (derived from nacham: to bring relief or comfort)

Here are the name meanings structured as a sentence: Man has been appointed mortal sorrow, but the blessed God shall come down teaching, and His (God's) death shall bring the despairing comfort and rest.

• Current educational approaches may conflict with natural cognitive development by completely removing spiritual education
• Significant societal changes have occurred since removing school-sponsored religious activities, though causation is not proven
• The challenge lies in finding a balanced approach that acknowledges spiritual tendencies while maintaining secular education standards

• Consciousness exhibits unique properties including qualitative experience, intentionality, and privacy that distinguish it from physical phenomena 
• Two major challenges face materialistic explanations: the emergence of consciousness from physical matter, and its apparent lack of evolutionary necessity 
• The "emergence" explanation fails to adequately address how purely mechanical processes could generate subjective awareness
•  These philosophical problems suggest current materialistic frameworks may be insufficient to fully explain consciousness

The debate over the existence of consciousness presents a fascinating challenge to purely materialistic explanations of the mind.
