while was certain that the messiah was supposed to come from the Davidic line... i haven't found much documentation for the jews requiring that he actually be God and man like Christians believe about Jesus. maybe i was assuming things from my Christian perspective that aren't a part of Jewish theology.

I read in the bible with my own eyes that Yeshua bin Yosef's (jesus) ancestral line thru joseph goes back 75 generations to adam. So, he is a mortal man of flesh and blood and is referred to as the son of man many times. I think he was a great historical figure like Martin Luther King, who died fighting corruption and oppression and was then deified as the only son of god. I also read his maternal acestral lineage thru Miriam (mary) as well. I couldn't tell you the exact scriptures but here's a link that may help;
