I hear you Christians claim that prophecies in the O.T. was fulfilled in the N.T.
I was wondering what prophecy was fulfilled?
I am not interested in cities actually existing like the bible says.
That just proves a place existed, but the story about the place could all be imaginary.
General incidents are not in for a debate either.
So please fill me in with one or two examples.
I don't need verses. Just explain to me with your own words.

Even if they do, if "prophecies" from the prequel were fulfilled in the sequel, I would not be impressed. It's like saying the Harry Potter books are amazing because they have the same characters in them.

I'm an atheist, but why on earth would you demand examples of Old Testament prophecies being fulfilled in the New Testament, and then insist that their sources not be cited? It seems like you're trying to set yourself up to dismiss the claims as anecdotes or at least use the paraphrasing as a basis to attack the entire belief system, and that's rather intellectually dishonest, don't you think?

Jesus fulfilled all the commandments and laws
Jesus fulfilled the prophecy that Moses wrote of Him in the Old Testament, and what was foretold by all the Prophets
including very much hidden scripture foretelling his birth , the slaughter of innocent children when he was a child ,the serpent on the cross that Moses held before the face of Israel......
Jesus it is said came to fulfill the old testament
not to destroy
not yet anyhow

I'm not even a Christian and I can give you one.
The mission of Jesus Christ fulfilled Old Testament prophecy.
But religion is a matter of faith; not empirical evidence.
The Harry Potter analogy is amusing, but I doubt if anyone will still be talking about Harry Potter in 2000 years.

The existence of cities, discovered via archaelogy findings serves to authenticate what is written in the Bible - but they are not fulfilment of prophecies, only proof that what was written existed and was not a made-up or fabricated location.
For the fulfiment of prophecies in the Old Testament in the New Testament, one need only study the life and person of Jesus Christ to find numerous examples.
For example:
(i) The virgin birth of Christ,
(ii) His riding into Jerusalem on a donkey;
(iii) His cruxifiction and death,
(iv) The seed of a woman crushing the head of the serpent.
I could list many examples for you but it would be much better for you to seek out for yourself. It is all there in the Bible, if you dare to seek!!!
Jesus said, "Ask and it shall be given, Seek and you will find, knock and the door shall be opened". Dare you to honestly asl God to show you, to open-mindedly seriously seek the truth and to be willing to knock until the door is opened?
It is not a question of whether I dare to answer your question but whether you DARE to search out for yourself..... be careful, because those that seriously searches the Word of God ends up "changed" by the truth they find. DO YOU DARE????

Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies himself through his birth, life, death, and resurrection. I'd give you the verses but you said you don't need verses.... so I wonder then, how will you know that you're getting the answer you seek if you refuse to see the evidence?

Jesus, born of a virgin, crucified without a bone being broken ( they always broke the legs to make death faster),beaten and bruised almost beyond recognition, and raised from the grave three days later.
