Jewish faith believes that the Mashiach, when he arrives will be a great leader or King anointed by G-d, that will usher in the Messianic era where Jews will return to Israel, reinstate biblical law, rebuild the Temple and enjoy peace and prosperity for mankind. That leader will be of human flesh and beget a dynasty of great leaders that will lead after his death. The Mashiach can not be a god or demi-god, for there is only one G-d.
This also why Jews do not believe that Jesus was the Mashiach. Where Christians believe he died and was resurrected in order to fulfill G-d's Messianic promise, Jews believe that if he even existed, he failed to do the requirements of the Mashiach that are required by scripture.
