Messiah means holy Prophet or King annointed with Oil.
THE Messiah is a reference to the last Israelite Prophet who would come as a redeemer for the Jews because they killed so many Prophets.
Nowhere does the Abrahamic religion ever consider a Messiah to mean a god or the son of god.
That is a fabrication and a twisting of the meaning.
David and other Kings were also called Messiah in their times.

Messiah means "annoited one" in Hebrew. .... Christ is the greek form of Messiah. Jesus was the Messiah that was prophesied to come in the Old Testament. Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God not by definition but because of explanation in the bible. Im sorry you got confused.
Matthew 1:1 - The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham
John 1:41 - He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ).
Matthew 16:16 - Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Mark 1:1 - The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Luke 1:32 - "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David

Where were David and kings called Messiah? Now THAT is fabrication. Also where does the bible say any prophet is holy, or that anyone but God is holy? Are you sure you're not a muslim who doesn't really know what the messiah is? This might help:

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, MIGHTY GOD,
EVERLASTING FATHER, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.

The Messiah is the anointed one, you're right. Jews didn't know that God Himself was to be the Messiah, but that was revealed with Jesus Christ.

Your opinion is not based on fact, nor on an understanding of the Hebrew Text from the Word of God.
Jesus IS the Messiah and there is no other...no matter what you have been led to believe.
