The Christian concept of 'messiah' doesn't exist in Judaism. 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. This person hasn't been born yet.
