Answer:

Sometimes we refer as Christians the messiah to be (God). This all came to be because of

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of messianism originated in Judaism,[1][2] and in the Hebrew Bible a messiah is a king or High Priest traditionally anointed with holy anointing oil.[3] However, messiahs were not exclusively Jewish, as the Hebrew Bible refers to Cyrus the Great, king of Persia, as a messiah[4] for his decree to rebuild the Jerusalem Temple.

Jesus was believed to be the messiah when he was around and he tried to convert people to Christianity and some did though some people thought before you become Christian you have to be Jewish I hope that answers your question
