I’m always amazed at the way in which the very people who shout the loudest about taking the bible literally are always the most eager to do mental gymnastics in order to come up with “prophecies” about Jesus in the Old Testament. If you read most of the popular prophecy passages in the Old Testament literally it’s clear that they don’t have anything to do with Jesus; they require extremely non-literal interpretations to be regarded as Jesus prophecies. For example, the popular passage in Isaiah 7:14 is clearly saying that a specific military threat will be dealt with very soon. Of course it’s possible to construe it as a Jesus prophecy, but that interpretation would be pretty far from “literal”.
It’s especially surprising when you consider the large number of actual prophecies in the Bible in which a prophet explicitly states that a specific thing is going to happen in the future. Fundamentalists seem to completely ignore these. But perhaps that's because so many of the actual prophecies in the Old Testament didn't come true?
