>>24512813Jews, as they are now, didn't write the texts. I daresay they well knew that Christ was the Messiah, and yet they hated Him all the more for it. In order to retroactively justify this they've either ignored or deliberately misunderstood many parts of the OT, such as the "seventy weeks of years" which was prophesied around five hundred years before Christ was born. In addition, there are elements in the OT that aren't fully explained that only make sense in light of Christian doctrine, such as the Trinity, hinted at by God appearing to Abraham in the form of three men (and Abraham recognizes it's God and not a group of angels or something).
In summation, the Old Testament isn't a Jewish text used by Christians. It's a proto-Christian text designed to prepare the Jews for Christ. Considering how much of the OT is directly about the Messiah, and how Christ fulfills these prophecies.
