Christ & Messiah basically mean anointed one. The difference is Christ is Greek & Messiah is Hebrew
the word Messiah because it ends in iah, makes the complete meaning the Anointed of Jehovah.
This is highlighted when Jesus entered Jerusalem on an donkey and the crowd yelled,
Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah's Name.
Luke 19:38
There are many in the bible who were anointed.
The fact that Jesus is called the Messiah is he was anointed to be the King of Jehovah's Kingdom, Just as King David sat on Jehovah's throne. 2nd Psalms

Means annointed one. Some outside writings of King David (one's that were found within the past decade) show that he was called Messiah as well. Some seem to think it's reference to being Annointed as King.

The term "Messiah", is a Jewish term for a political leader that the Jews were looking for to lead them out of subjection to Political rule such as the "Roman Empire". They envisioned such a leader as King David. Jesus Christ came and was the Messiah which was rejected by the Jewish leaders of his day, because he didn't come to conquer but to be "The Suffering Messiah" who would die on a Roman cross to save all humankind from Man's worst enemy, Sin and death. By his death he canceled out man debt to God and arose from the Dead to give unto all who would except him as God's Messiah everlasting life .

Messiah. Savior of which there are no others to be savior of. Lord makes us Lords. King makes us Kings. Deliverer makes us deliverers. Redeemer makes us redeemers. Priest makes us priest's. So, why can not there be other messiah's? Some are called the WHEOS = plural form messiahs / deliverers / redeemers /kings / lords etc. etc. etc.

The deliverer, the promised anointed one.
The savior.
The Children of Israel on the high Holy day of Yomkipor would find a lamb, pure and free of blemish. This lamb would be sacrificed and it's blood poured on the mercy seat and the sins of Israel would be forgiven for one year, but when the Messiah comes , he would take away their sins forever.
This is why when John the Baptist saw Jesus , He said behold the Lamb of God.
Jesus (Emanuel-Elohim) The only perfect sacrifice. The promised one.
As Jesus said,"A Shepard knows his sheep and they know him."
Do you know him?

Jesus Christ is our Priest, our Prophet and our King. He is our all in all. Amen
"all in all" was found 3 times in 3 verses in the New Testament.
1 Corinthians 12:6 - And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1 Corinthians 15:28 - And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Ephesians 1:23 - Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Easton’s Bible Dictionary
Messiah
(Heb. mashiah), in all the thirty-nine instances of its occurring in the Old Testament, is rendered by the LXX. "Christos." It means anointed. Thus priests (Exodus 28:41; 40:15; Numbers 3:3), prophets (1 Kings 19:16), and kings (1 Samuel 9:16; 16:3; 2Sam 12:7) were anointed with oil, and so consecrated to their respective offices. The great Messiah is anointed "above his fellows" (Psalms 45:7); i.e., he embraces in himself all the three offices. The Greek form "Messias" is only twice used in the New Testament, in John 1:41 and 4:25 (RSV, "Messiah"), and in the Old Testament the word Messiah, as the rendering of the Hebrew, occurs only twice (Daniel 9:25,26; RSV, "the anointed one").
Smith’s Bible Dictionary
Messiah
(anointed ). This word (Mashiach ) answers to the word Christ (Christos ) in the New Testament, and is applicable in its first sense to any one anointed with the holy oil. The kings of Israel were called anointed , from the mode of their consecration. (1 Samuel 2:10,35; 12:3,5) etc. This word also refers to the expected Prince of the chosen people who was to complete God’s purposes for them and to redeem them, and of whose coming the prophets of the old covenant in all time spoke. He was the Messiah, the Anointed, i.e. consecrated as the king and prophet by God’s appointment. The word is twice used in the New Testament of Jesus. (John 1:41; 4:25) Authorized Version "Messias." The earliest gleam of the gospel is found in the account of the fall. (Genesis 3:15) the blessings in store for the children of Shem are remarkable indicated int he words of Noah. (Genesis 9:26) Next follows the promise to Abraham. (Genesis 12:2,3) A great step is made in (Genesis 49:10) This is the first case in which the promises distinctly centre in one person. The next passage usually quoted is the prophecy of Balaam. (Numbers 24:17-19) The prophecy of Moses, ( 18:18) claims attention. Passages in the Psalms are numerous which are applied to the Messiah in the New Testament; such as Psal 2,16,22,40,110. The advance in clearness in this period is great. The name of Anointed, i.e. King, comes in, and the Messiah is to come of the Lineage of David. He is described in his exaltation, with his great kingdom that shall be spiritual rather than temporal. Psal 2,21,40,110. In other places he is seen in suffering and humiliation. Psal 16,22,40. Later on the prophets show the Messiah as a king and ruler of David’s house, who should come to reform and restore the Jewish nation and purify the Church, as in Isai 11,40-66 The blessings of the restoration, however, will not be confined to Jews; the heathen are made to share them fully. (Isaiah 2:66) The passage of (Micah 5:2) (comp. Matt 2:6 ) left no doubt in the mind of the Sanhedrin as to the birthplace of the Messiah. The lineage of David is again alluded to in (Zechariah 12:1-14) The coming of the Forerunner and of the Anointed is clearly revealed in (Malachi 3:1; 4:5,6) The Pharisees and those of the Jews who expected Messiah at all looked for a temporal prince only. The apostles themselves were infected with this opinion till after the resurrection. (Matthew 20:20,21; Luke 24:21; Acts 1:6) Gleams of a purer faith appear in (Luke 2:30; 23:42; John 4:25

Messiah means savior. It means one who is coming to save others. In the case of Jesus, He is referred to as the savior of the entire world. It is because He offered Himself as the eternal sacrfice for all of humankind in the past, present and future for the forgiveness of all sins. His birth, death and resurrection are fulfillment of bible prophecy.

It means "Anointed One" or "Anointed of God"....
Beware of those who claim to have a "special anointing from God"...in reality, they are claiming to be a "Christ", or a "Messiah"...they are the ones Jesus warned us about, and they are here, in force!
