  1. No. The verse in Daniel 9:26 which you ask about is a prophecy regarding the death of King Aggripa in the year 44 CE. The Hebrew word Messiah means anointed, a popular appellation of any king who was anointed with the holy anointing oil. The word Messiah is translated into Greek as christ, from the word christos, which means to anoint.
