Quoting Yigal Levin <leviny1 AT mail.biu.ac.il>:

[snip]
However NOWHERE in the Tanakh (with the possible exception of Daniel
9:25-26), is the term "mashiax" used when clearly speaking of a FUTURE
savior - Davidic, divine or otherwise. The prophets often speak of a future
Davidic king, the "branch" of Jesse etc., but NOWHERE is this figure called
"mashiax". The attachment of the title "mashiax" to the future savior is a
late Second Temple concept, which was picked up on by the early followers of
the "Teacher of Righteousness", of Jesus, of Bar-Kokhba and of others.

Yigal Levin

In the case of the "Teacher of Righteousness" are you sure? Can you quote any
Qumran Essene manuscript that calls him messiah?

best,
