In the Old Testament (Hebrew Scriptures) a Prophecy was written by a Prophet, usually in the form of an entire book.
Prophecy didn't necessarily mean foretelling the future, but was often a commentary on current, or even past, events by a 'messenger' of God.
When you reach the formation of Christianity, with their claims of fulfilled prophecy, they take a hatchet to the Hebrew Scriptures, hack it into little snippets and sentences, and then rearrange the entire thing to INVENT and, not surprisingly, DISCOVER a new, never before noticed, prophecy of their fallen political leader.
Give me a copy of War and Peace, let me use software to break it down into a database of individual sentences, and then I'll rearrange them and splice them together to predict everything from the WTC attack to Milk Duds and reality television.
Christianity reeks of desperation.
