Samuel, isaiah, and jeremiah.
The notion that a virgin will give birth and that this person will be the davidic successor in the flesh to reinstate god's kingdom on earth. Yes, there are two, the point of both being to place jesus in that line of succession. We think that mark left it out because both were troublesome, even then. Hell...by that point, they weren't really required anymore..either. They were no longer jews. Apocalyptic jews still existed, and they were still waiting for the hebrew hammer to be born so they could curbstomp the rest of us and install a permanent davidic theocracy. None of that, btw, was going to be a good pitch to a gentile...but, to a very interesting extent, it's actually what paul™ believed. Jesus being raised was an indication that the promised end of the world had come, and the beginning of the next, on earth, immediately. He was..effectively, expecting a great battle to be fought in his life - and he knew the winner...and that's who's side he'd be on.
-but, again, the sex thing ...not really. The filthiness of flesh in general was not an idea that they came up with - it was something that their target market already believed. They were pitching christianity to gnostics and stoics. The kindgom had not come, and would be in another world, a purer world. The world of greek myth..full of immortal souls being rewarded and punished - an alien concept to jesus-the-real-boy or the ot. Not at all what the ot prophecies were referring to.
