Zone1 Many Possible Messiahs

Few on earth know what the bible actually teaches. They must be taught by these-Matt 24:45, or they remain in darkness on much.

The Jehovah's Witnesses emerged from the Millerite movement of the 1840s. They are characterized by continual date setting for the final events. The last date set was 1975. After the 1975 forecasts miscarried, they modified their traditional eschatology.
 
There's no mention in the Bible about other Messiahs.
The Hebrew word for "Messiah" is the word for "anointed one." Putting olive oil on the head of one who is the to be the king of the Israelites was part of the coronation ceremony.

1 Samuel 24:2-4 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats. And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave. And the men of David said unto him, "Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee." Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.

1 Samuel 24:5,6 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. And he said unto his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD."

Here King Saul is trying to locate David, so that he can kill him. When David has the opportunity to kill King Saul David does not, saying that he cannot kill the "LORD's anointed," AKA the Messiah.
