What do Jews call the Messiah?

Jews call "the Messiah" as "the Messiah" or in Hebrew "HaMoshiach" (המשיח). However, as opposed to other religions, such as Christianity or Islam, Judaism does not believe that the Messiah has come yet and therefore is not identified with any person. For example, Jews don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah and, therefore, do not accept the Christian or Islamic claims that he was a God prophet or God/son of God.

How did ancient Hebrews understand the idea of Messiah?

The word "Messiah" (מחשיח) to the ancient Hebrews referred to any Jewish priest or king. Anointment was part of the process of being installed as king or priest. There was nothing particularly religious about the term. In times of trouble, when there was no king on the throne, the word "messiah" referred to the next king, who would come and rescue them. It never had a connection with spiritual salvation until the writers of the New Testament redefined it, incorporating into it some Greek spiritual beliefs.
