The word 'messiah' is the anglicisation of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. The word moshiach translates to 'anointed'. The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of HaShem. We have had many moshiachim (pl) in the form of kings, priests, prophets, and judges. There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach. There is a prophecy about a future moshiach, however, he'll be a mortal man who will lead the country of Israel.

How do Jews and Christians differ in their perspectives on messianic thought?
Jews and Christians differ in their perspectives on messianic thought primarily in their beliefs about the identity and nature of the Messiah. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah who has already come, while Jews await the arrival of a future Messiah who will fulfill prophecies and bring about a time of peace and redemption. This difference in belief about the timing and identity of the Messiah shapes the theological and eschatological perspectives of each faith tradition.
What is the name given to those who believed Jesus was the messiah?
Those who believed Jesus was the Messiah are commonly referred to as Christians. This belief is central to Christian doctrine, which teaches that Jesus is the anointed one sent by God for the salvation of humanity. In contrast, people who do not accept this belief, such as Jews, may refer to Jesus in different terms and do not recognize him as the Messiah.
What made Jews believe that they were messiah?
Jews do not believe they personally are the messiah. Rather, Jews believe they were chosen to introduce ethical monotheism (the belief in one God) to a pagan and polytheistic world. When Judaism emerged as a religion, it was in fact the first to promote the worship of only one Deity. In the Hebrew Bible (what Christians refer to as the "Old Testament" and Jews call the Tanakh), it says that God (whom Muslims call Allah) will send the messiah, but it does not say when this will occur. Since the idea of a promised messiah can be found in the Hebrew Bible, it is not surprising that some people believe he will be Jewish.Christians believe Jesus (who was in fact Jewish) was the promised messiah, but Jews do not agree with this. Jews believe the messiah has not come yet, and they do not believe Jesus did what the messiah was supposed to do. So Jews wait for the messiah, who will be sent when God decides to send him. What religion the messiah will be is up to God; but the Bible clearly states that in the final days, there will be no more prejudice and everyone will unite to worship the one God together.
Why did the Jews long for the messiah to be born?
There are different types of moshiachim (Hebrew plural). If you're referring to 2000 years ago, Jews were looking for a King moshiach who would defeat the Romans. According to Jewish belief, the mashiach (Messiah) has not yet come.
