Two Messiahs?

Scripture relates what has been at times interpreted as two Messiahs...

Messiah ben Yosef - suffering servant
Messiah ben David - triumphant king


Instead of two Messiahs, it is one Messiah and two "comings".  He first came as the suffering servant to pay for our sins.  He is returning as triumphant king to rule and reign.
