But the use of prophets and prophesies per se is not a Judeo-Christian peculiarity. The classical world is rife with oracles and soothsayers and omen-interpretation.
I never said otherwise, indeed that is a part of the point. The point is that prophesy was a big part of the culture, and they thought that because of the fact the Gospels correlated the life of Jesus to such a degree with the "OT", that this was the first case of a undeniable "proof" of real and divine prophecy.
