For example, the passage in Isaiah referring to explicitly to Jesus' death works and fits far better for Jesus than for Israel which is how people saw it before. It is pretty darn well obvious it refers to Jesus, and since the identical passage was found in the Dead Seas scrolls, it's clear it was not changed after the fact either.
Don't just say it, show it. IOW, please address the specifics of the verse. List the book, verse, etc. and explain how the words pertain to Jesus.

What supports a hidden prophecy other than that's just what Christians prefer to do?
As I asked before, which you really didn't answer:
How do you tell which prophecies will be fulfilled again?
How do you know which act is the final fulfillment of a prophecy?
I am asking these questions because without some rule of thumb to gage by, you leave those weaker in spirit open to fakes.
If your only support is that without the Holy Spirit, which you assume we don't have because we disagree with you, we can't understand, then what do you hope to contribute to this topic?
