Most of the OT prophetic "prefigurements" Christians base their interpretations on are nothing but mutilated verses removed from context. And that's when they have something to quote, mind you. In Matthew 2:23 he claims Jesus being called Nazarene was also a prophecy fulfilled, but there's no such a prophecy anywhere to be found in the OT.
Luke isn't much better, by the way. In Luke 24:46 he "fulfills" another prophecy that literally doesn't exist. He cherry picks lines from disconnected OT verses, stitches them together, and there's his "sign of Jonah." The NT writers constantly dismantle OT verses referring to other people and events to make these Build-A-Bear prophecies about Jesus all throughout the gospels and epistles. Chapter 1 of Hebrews is one of the worst offenders. It's entirely made of verses taken from Psalms, Samuel, Chronicles, etc talking about David, Solomon, and God but removed from context to make it look like they're about Jesus. It goes as far as to directly quote 2 Samuel 7:14 while describing Jesus and casually omit more than half of the verse because it didn't fit with him being sinless. This can be seen whenever they quote Psalm 110 (and they do it A LOT, the first verse is the one OT verse they quote the most), where someone is singing about David and they try to shoehorn Jesus in there to make you think it's David singing about him.
