I am currently studying the early Rabbinical writings say about the messiah and He is seen as a suffering servant and also a ruler in the Messianic age. Their concept of Him matches what the Christianity teaches about Him. The primary function of the Messiah is to be the atonement offering for the soul. That as to come first before He returns to rule and reign.The *primary* description of the Messiah is that he is the one who will rule during the messianic age. If you lose sight of that, if you place that as subordinate to any other feature, you will go awry.
