Detailed explanation-1: -Etymology. In Jewish eschatology, the term mashiach, or “Messiah", refers specifically to a future Jewish king from the Davidic line, who is expected to save the Jewish nation, and will be anointed with holy anointing oil and rule the Jewish people during the Messianic Age.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reform Jews pray for redemption rather than for a ‘redeemer’. The Messiah will be a human being descended from King David, although he will have superhuman qualities and abilities. There will not necessarily be a person who is the Messiah. In the Messianic Age, Jews will triumph over the enemies of Israel.

Detailed explanation-3: -The expectation of an Anointed Deliverer is called the messianic hope. This hope was very real for the ancient house of Israel and extended into the distant past, even into the premortal council in heaven. After explaining the need for a redeemer, Father in Heaven asked, “Whom shall I send?” (Abraham 3:27).
