It is incontrovertible that Judaism/Noachism was founded by G-d A-mighty. People should be satisfied with that. No further "development" attributed to a "prophet" or (chas vechalilah!) "gxd-man" is even necessary.
Why do all chrstians without exception simply assume from the outset that J*sus/the Church/the "new testament" have the right to authentically interpret and apply the prophecies in the Hebrew Bible???

I think you can replace the word ‘Christians’ above with Jews and it would also be a relevant question.
Because a human brings them closer to God?
And don’t forget, the United States could never have been founded without Jesus’ influence.
This from an OT believer.
Ah the Hebrew Bible is His-story, from the 'beginning' Genesis 1:1 to tracing the lineage from which He would be born, and all the named peoples they came in contact with down through the generations. Psalms 22 is but one point in authenticity. Why Christ is named right there in Genesis 2:9 symbolically called the 'tree of life'.
Seems interesting that some do the very thing they accuse others of doing/being.
Perhaps it is because we recognize that Jesus IS the promised Messiah? We can look at the three HUNDRED plus prophecies given in the Hebrew Bible and discover that they were fulfilled by the historical Jesus (with the exception of those few future ones yet to be).
Do you actually think that Christians just invented their religion based upon nothing? Jesus of Nazareth was a REAL person, he rose from the dead after his brutal crucifixion - witnessed by hundreds of people, he performed miracles and his teachings were based on the SPIRIT of the Law of Moses and the purpose of the Almighty in the affairs of His creation. He came to earth and dwelt among us, lived a sinless life and died on a cruel cross as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. His resurrection was the ultimate proof that He was who He claimed to be.
Not everyone will believe and receive this truth - that was also foretold - and Jesus would be rejected by His own people - another one of those prophecies. But one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
