Do the Jews believe the messiah will be God in flesh?
Isaiah 9:7 clearly states there will be no end, on the throne of David and on his Kingdom. Clearly the messianic servant is being talked about here

Jesus is God, the Word Made Flesh, and a person can better comprehend this mystery by reciting the rosary of the Virgin Mary every day with care and sincerity.

Jesus Christ is the Messiah, their misconstrued concept of the Messiah led them down the wrong path. Jesus Christ was given the throne of David by his Father in heaven, Daniel 2:44, and the throne is in heaven, the Kingdom of God, which is a real heavenly government, with kings, judges, and priests that will rule over the earth, Revelation 5:10, and it will not be passed on to any other people, Daniel 2:44. Jesus Christ is not God as when Christ Jesus' thousand year rule finishes, Jesus will hand back the Kingdom to his God and Father, 1 Corinthians 15:23,24, so that God will be everything to everyone, 1 Corinthians 15:28.

Christian wrongly assume that they believe the same thing as the Jews, even though they do have some common beliefs. Nearly all, if not all, "messianic prophecies" that Christians believe in are not considered to be "messianic prophecies" by Jews and what Jews consider to be "messianic prophecies" are ignored by Christians.
You only think that Isaiah 9:7 "states clearly" because that is what you want to believe or because it is consistent with what you have been taught to believe.

No, they believe the Messiah will be a human being, and it's also a title applied to more than one person.

[Edit: David you are SO wrong. Isaiah has made it crystal clear that the Suffering Servant is a metaphor for the people of Israel -- but I don't think you are ready to accept the truth. You post insincere questions to promote false teachings.]
Isaiah 9:6 is NOT referring to the Jewish Messiah.
Jews believe that the Messiah will be fully mortal, like Moses, and he is NOT to be worshiped. God does NOT take material form, because idols can be made of that form.
Many names in the Bible are intended to praise God -- not to mean the one who is given that name is in any way more than human.
