No. Just as a fingerprint identifies just one person, the fulfillment of Bible prophecies points to just one Messiah, or Christ. However, the Bible warns that "false Christs and false prophets will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones." - MATTHEW 24:24.
Could the Messiah appear in the future?
No. The Bible foretold that the Messiah would be a descendant of King David of Israel. (Psalm 89:3, 4) However, the Jewish ancestral records going back to David have been lost, apparently having been destroyed when the Romans conquered Jerusalem in 70 C.E. Since that time, it has not been possible for anyone to prove that he is of the royal family of David. In contrast, though those ancestral records did exist in Jesus' time, not even his enemies successfully challenged his claim of being a descendant of David. - MATTHEW 22:41-46.
