Again, in the story of the transfiguration we have an account of Jesus whose face shone like the sun’ and His clothes turning white. Instead of that we have Jesus eating fish and being very physical.
I agree that there was no cognitave dissonance. They and the rest of the Jews saw only one aspect of what was prophesied about the coming messiah/christ. Had they read more carefully and corroborated,
all of OT scriptures, relative to messiah/christ their lack of cognitative disonance would have been factored both the human and devine purpose of Jesus as suffering lamb and coming world ruler.
Scriptures such as Isaiah 53, etc, coupled with your citations of Daniel are what all Jews failed to understand. ,
