ISAIAH 53:10 talks of a servant who will “SEE SEED”:
“Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will SEE SEED ( zara is Hebrew for seed) and prolong his days,and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand. ”
It is the ONLY time in the entire OT that this phrase appears.Today many say it 100% means BIOLOGICAL [...]

That is one thing one notices in Muslim readers,lack of perspective.I will explain.Now all the Muslim readers here will agree the NT books are by CHRISTIANS,correct?Not if John is really by John,etc, but at least by a CHRISTIAN.

DANIEL 9:24-27 PROPHECY

I say yes based on the NT.I will give a short version of my argument and then a longer one for those who have the patience to read it in more detail.Plus it includes other things that if one doesnt know all the details are controversial.
That is why women are allowed to be priests and ministers in the ANGLICAN ( also called EPISCOPALIAN church),LUTHERAN,METHODIST,PRESBYTERIAN and PENTECOSTAL churches.Also [...]

That is one argument I have read. I have to disagree because in the OT prophecies are in 2 ways: in the FUTURE tense and in the PAST tense. In the past tense because the author is SO SURE it will come true that he writes as if it had already happened.
WHAT IS THE PROOF?
From Jewish commentaries themselves:
A. In the TARGUM, which was written during in Aramaic during or a generation after Jesus and [...]
