That's okay, I didn't expect you to have any view other than the one you have.
The OT does speak prophesies Christ in a couple of places, but the vast majority of prophecy which Christians assume relates to Christ does not. These prophecies relate to the Prophet who will return like Christ, with the same qualities as Christ. That's why the Jews rejected the first Christ, because He did not fulfil prophecy.
I mean, you read the Bible so you must know that Christ did not fulfil OT prophecy. Have you ever wondered why?
Well the answer is that the prophecies pertaining to the Christ and a the second coming, a Christ like being. As all the Prophets, Manifestations of God claim to be a single being, a single spirit serving the single Will of God.
Yes, the Baptist was prophesied, but the fact that Jesus came and went in a blink, achieved very little in His own lifetime and was almost unheard of suggests that very few prophecies relate to His first appearance, because all the good stuff did not happen in His ministry. As for the Bab and Baha'u'llah, they were both Manifestations, thus fulfilling the prophecy about Enoch and Elijah, so for the first time a Prophet creates a foundation for another prophet.
The Book of Revelation also prophecies Muhammad, now tell that to a Christian and see how you go.
