In Matthew 1–2, the Gospel writer regularly appeals to the Old Testament to show that what’s happening in the present is a fulfillment of past prophecies. But when you begin to scrutinize the texts in their original context, it’s not at clear that they point forward to the Messiah.

Do they twist the text to make it say something the original authors never intended? More broadly, is there more than one kind of promise-and-fulfillment?
