I found something else of interest. From the Talmud ""What is his [the Messiah's] name? — The School of R. Shila said: His name is Shiloh, for it is written, until Shiloh come. The School of R. Yannai said: His name is Yinnon, for it is written, His name shall endure for ever: e'er the sun was, his name is Yinnon. The School of R. Haninah maintained: His name is Haninah, as it is written, Where I will not give you Haninah. Others say: His name is Menahem the son of Hezekiah,for it is written, Because Menahem [‘the comforter’ ], that would relieve my soul, is far. The Rabbis said: His name is ‘the leper scholar,’ as it is written, Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him a leper, smitten of God, and afflicted."
The leper scholar.........very interesting indeed. People should recognize that this comes from the the commandments on how to heal the lepers in the Torah. Since there was never a leper healed of the land of Israel, or even after the Torah was given to Moses, the rabbis looked at the healing of the lepers as Messianic. There is also a connection to this leprous scholar with Isaiah 53.
As Rabbi Carlson from Zion's Sake puts it "There was no recorded event of an Israelite having been healed of leprosy since the giving of the Torah." http://www.zionsake.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=63
