It was not their understanding of the prophecies that led them initially to believe in Christ; it was other things. Some were led to believe through dreams (Mat 1:20), some through visions (John 1:33), some through visits from angels (Luke 1:28-32) or the Holy Ghost (Luke 2:26). There were some who recognized that His teachings were from God (Mat 7:28-29), and some who witnessed miraculous things in Him (joh 7:31). And then there were some who having none of these blessings, simply followed Christ at His words "Follow me" (Mat 4:19), and this they did without the least hesitation. Thus, many people came to Christ by different paths, but none, as far as we know, came to Him by way of prophecies. This surprising truth becomes clearer, the more closely we examine scripture.
(3:3)
