What do Christians believe about the terms of messiah?
Did you mean 'the term messiah'? In Hebrew (mashiah or the modern Mashiach), it means "the anointed", often with the word meleḵ: "the Anointed King." In Greek, it's khristos: Christ -- the title given to Jesus (which comes from the Hebrew Yeshua, which means "Jah [God] is salvation."So, Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied in the (Hebrew) Old Testament -- and will return in the last days to completely fulfill the prophesies as the mighty King to bring ultimate peace.

What is the difference between the New Testament and Old Testament in concept of the messiah?
According to the Messiah Himself, Jesus Christ the LOGOS [WORD of God] and I AM [YHVH] from the beginning [John 1:1-3], "the Old Testament is all about Him! ""...He [Jesus] said [to His disciples after He was raised from the dead], 'When I was with you before, I told you that EVERYTHING WRITTEN ABOUT ME by Mosesand the Prophets and in the Psalms [the heart of the Old Testament] must all come true.'" (Luke 24:44 NLT New Living Translation)That's how the Old Testament "understands" the Messiah. It's man who doesn't understand the Old Testament [and subsequently, the New]. It's man who has to have his mind and heart [spirit] opened for him to understand the Scriptures:"Then He OPENED THEIR MINDS to UNDERSTAND these many Scriptures." (verse 45)The fact is: Old Testament scriptures [the Holy Spirit-inspired, Divinely-revealed Words of Jesus Christ] have always been about Him, the Messiah. And it's not God's revealed Word that requires "Understanding"... but the hearts and minds of those who read those Sacred Words.It's an Understanding that cannot come through the "carnal minded" human reasoning process that is dependent upon our five, easily-deceived, physical senses. God's Understanding is achieved only through His personally opening [or awakening] a slumbering human spirit.And it's the "attitude" [spirit] of the reader that depends on whether or not that Understanding happens."...'I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts, who tremble at My Word.'" (Isa.66:2 NLT)"Fear of the LORD [with a humble and contrite heart] is the beginning of [Godly] Wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One [through Faithful study of and conformity {obedience} to His Word - John 8:31-32] results in [Godly] Understanding." (Prov.9:10 NLT)Yet, God's Word doesn't provide His "Understanding." It provides the "Knowledge" of Him to the heart of a humble, Faithful, Fearful, Trembling reader. It's God Himself who then "opens" His "Understanding" to that innocent, child-like, Trusting heart."Get Wisdom, get Understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the Words of My mouth... Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get Wisdom: and with all thy getting get Understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee Honour, when thou dost embrace her." (Prov.4:5-8 KJV)Same verses; [NLT]: "Learn to be Wise, and develop Good Judgment. Don't forget or turn away from My Words. Don't turn your back on Wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her and she will guard you. Getting Wisdom [Obtaining the Knowledge contained in the Bible through one's reading and study of it with a Humble and Fearful heart] is the most important thing you can do! And whatever else you do, get Good Judgment. If you prize Wisdom, she will exalt you. Embrace her and she will Honor you."So, the Words of the Old Testament [and the New] don't "Understand" anything. They are simply God's straight forward, matter-of-fact Truth of which man has but two options: to BELIEVE it... or REJECT it. The Words of the Old Testament [and the New] only provide God's special "Knowledge" about Him. From that point it's up to God to open the heart of whomever He will, to "Understand" [exercise Good Judgment]... to believe and obey what is written there.
