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.
