Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

There is of course the problem of the self-fulfilling prophecy. If people know what a prophecy says, they can actively work to make it happen. So then it becomes not so much a prediction as a set of instructions.

Wasn't jesus supposed to have ridden into Jerusalem just to fulfil a prophesy.

Christ was following the Jewish custom for a royal entry. The animal on which He rode was that ridden by the kings of Israel, and prophecy had foretold that thus the Messiah should come to His kingdom. No sooner was He seated upon the colt than a loud shout of triumph rent the air. The multitude hailed Him as Messiah, their King. Jesus now accepted the homage which He had never before permitted, and the disciples received this as proof that their glad hopes were to be realized by seeing Him established on the throne.

So not so much prophecy fulfilment, more political spin.
