I mean, on what ground is the questioner deciding the veracity of the prophecy? The Disciples took the prophecy to David of the Messiah not suffering corruption based on Jesus resurrecting, not on being in the tomb and checking the biological processes to see if Messiah suffered any corruption. In other words, there's a heavy presupposition at work that the questioner thinks he understands the Olivet discourse when the Disciples themselves seemed to be confused by it--and the Gospel accounts was written after certain things wound up happening.

This is a different thought: " If the gospels are to be believed on the details of Jesus’ life and teachings, it’s quite obvious that he wasn’t." I would agree if he is referencing the national religion and Yahweh of Israel.. but not if he is speaking of the faith and Yahweh of Abraham. Jesus was the fulfillment of the law and the prophets but was cewrtainly not bound by the legalism of the religious establishment. His message was one aimed at the heart and not the heady legalism of the religious leaders. Some interesting thoughts here for sure Scott. This is a different thought:
