The purpose of Jesus was as a canary in the coal mine.
What many have forgotten about the region is that judaism is younger than Christianity. While the jews no doubt want to tie their legacy back to that of the hebrew tribes, the recorded history on the matter is less kind.
The region known as Israel was going through some trying times as the priests - the pharisee - began to accrue more property and power. Prior to these times, there was not much by way of central theocratic doctrine and there wasn't even a central god, as each of the scriptures mostly referenced the ancestral/tribal deity from which the prophet or scholar came. It was during the time of Jesus when the Pharisee were busy constructing the central notions of monotheism and redacting the scriptures to be a consistent narrative of there only being one true god and that god having endorsed the system and architecture of the Pharisee.
Which is when Jesus came in and said: "lol, no, and say hi to the Romans for me, you stupid fucks."
Then Israel got roflstomped by the romans because the Jews bought the lie that God was going to lead them to conquest over the world. Or at least to overthrow Rome.
Spoiler: he wasn't.
There is a reason there is a second coming necessary.
