A big "forest for the trees" thing about the BoM

Apologists would say this is a non-starter, but I think it's a big deal: NOWHERE in the Old Testament does ANYONE talk about Jesus Christ. A messiah, yes, even some details* about him, but the name JESUS?

Nope.

Not Jesus, not Joshua, not Yeshua.

It was a rookie mistake, like someone forging a document supposedly from the 1920's and using the term "World War One**"...


*OK, OK, gospel writers could have added OT details to make the NT story *look* more fulfilled...

**OK, OK, OK, I've seen inter-war documents that say: "The First World War" from either prescient or depressed writers.
