Default Is Muhammed mentioned in the Old Testament

Ancient historical chronology has a problem with this.

Muhammed didn't live until the late 500s, LONG after the books of the Old Testament had already been written. He couldn't have been mentioned in them.

He is certainly not mentioned by name.

Give me enough time, and I will find in the Bible a prophecy about anything you want a prophecy for.

I'm not going to watch the video. Is this about the Paraklete? If so, check the links in this thread or this.
