Some folks have long been taught and long believed that some passages in the New Testament fulfill prophecies from the Old Testament.
What about this?:
Could it have been COPYING rather than fulfillment of prophecies?
Say I wrote a book in 2000 but got some similar passages from another author's book that was written in 1998. I inserted passages from THAT author's book and lo and behold, my book has "prophetic" passages in it. But the actuality is that I COPIED from someone else's book.

I read a book titled, Gospel Fictions that I found quite credible in content. For those inclined, here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Fictions-Randel-Helms-ebook/dp/B002I61F3A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414277510&sr=8-1&keywords=Gospel+Fictions
