I forgot about this thread. But to answer your question, I'll post a few below. In addition to the Messianic scriptures, there are also TONS of Old Testament scriptures regarding the disobedience /hard-heartedness /straying of God's people, which ultimately led to their spiritual blindness, to this day.
"The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone." Psalms 118:22
"He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not." Isaiah 53:3
"Listen, heavens, and pay attention, earth, for the Lord has spoken: “I have raised children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against Me. The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s feeding trough, but Israel does not know; My people do not understand.” Isaiah 1:2-3
Psalm 22 (the whole thing)

Psalm 22 (the whole thing)
etc, etc, etc.
And then there's a prophetic scripture about how in the last days, the Jews will finally have open eyes and see the truth:
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn." Zechariah 12:10
There are lots more, also in the NT, but from the looks of this thread, I doubt most of you want it turned into a bible study.
