I can tell you're wholly illiterate with respect to this history, but I'll help you out
What does Christ mean (Greek χριστός)? Messiah. Messiah... of whom?
Everyone. Tons of prophecies about the messiah in the old testament which are not fulfilled by the coming of Jesus, which is the reasoning behind jews not believing he was the messiah. Isaiah 2:4, for example, claims the coming of the messiah will see an end to war for mankind, as well as a couple other things Jesus didn't do. "He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore"
Edit: Christians explain this with the "second coming" theory, which is fine. You can believe whatever you'd like, but you claimed that Judaism was Christianity before the coming of Christ, which is quite literally nonsense.
