The Torah goes into great detail about the anointment of Aaron as the high priest. Technically, he was a messiah, since the word just means that he was anointed. In this sense, all of the high priests were anointed and therefore technically messiahs. The Torah also warns the Israelites not to raise up a king overthemselves. It does not go into any detail about kings, but later, when Saul was installed as king, he too was anointed and therefore became, technically, a messiah. Once David ascended to the throne, each of the kings in the line of David was, technically, a messiah.
Only later, after the destruction of the first temple and the Babylonian exile, did the idea of restoring the messianic line(s) grow to something of cosmic significance.

What does the Talmud predict about the messiah's coming?
There are several signs of the coming Messiah within the Torah and the Christian Bible. However, Jewish people do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And whether they believe he was at least a prophet varies from each denomination. Jews still wait for the Messiah to come, though Christians believe that they will not be able to go to Heaven without Jesus as their savior. In the Torah, some of the signs foreshadow a Messiah, but though in the bible Jesus fulfilled all of these, the Torah does not include the time of Jesus in it. Nothing in the Torah proves Jesus is the Messiah, but the signs fit the New Testament's (of the Christian bible) recollection of Jesus. With various authors, written over thousands of years (more than enough proof for any history book), the bible does in fact prove that Jesus fulfilled these prophecies from the Old Testement and the Torah. But, no, the Torah itself does not confirm any of these predictions. It merely gives something to reference to in order to find the Messiah.
