Malachi 3:1 Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. (see "discuss question" on left for comment on the above verse) The two relevant verses are:-
Mar 1:1-2 KJV The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; [v.2] As it is written in the prophets," Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee."
Mal 3:1 KJV Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Note that this prophecy was only partially fulfilled ( see "discuss question") - the complete fulfillment is yet future.

Each Gospel contributes to a comprehensive understanding of Jesus' life and mission.

The book of Matthew, like the 3 other gospels, (Mark, Luke, and John) were not prophecy books but historical. In other words the literal accounts of Jesus's life. Although Jesus did prophecy about the last days in those books. But they are the accounts of Jesus's life non the less.
The old testament does not reference Christianity.Another thought:Actually, without the Hebrew scriptures, the Greek (New Testament) would make no sense...and vice versa. The Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) provide the 'framework' for the coming of the Christ, and though a 'cross' is not mentioned specifically, the principle is, at Deuteronomy 21:23 where it states that anyone hung on a stake (pole/tree) is cursed. This prophesies the death of Messiah, as he was cursed for our sake (Galatians 3:13)(2 Corinthians 5:21) .Besides this, MANY facets of messiah's DEATH certainly are referenced in the OT.Just a few examples are:**Isaiah 53:4-12 - (fulfillment:Matthew 9:2-8; Matthew 20:28)**Psalm 16:10, Psalm 49:15 - (fulfillment: Acts 2:31+32)(Acts 3:15)**Psalm 22:16 - (fulfillment: Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34)**Psalm 31:14 - (fulfillment:(John 20:17)**Isaiah 42:1-7 - (fulfillment: Matthew 12:18-21)**Micah 5:2/John 7:40-42/Matthew 2:3-6(fulfillment:Luke 2:4-7)**Psalm 34:20 - (fulfillment: John 19:33-36)**Psalm 41:9 - (fulfillment: (Mark 14:18, John 13:18+26)**Psalm 69:21 - (fulfillment: Matthew 27:48, Mark 15:36, Luke 23:36, John 19:29**Isaiah 53:1-12 - (fulfillment: Matthew 20:28, Romans 5:6+19, 1Peter 2:24)**Zechariah 11:12 - (Matthew 26:15, Matthew 27:9)**Zechariah 12:10 - (fulfillment:John 19:37,Revelation 1:7)**Zechariah 13:7 (Matthew 26:31)(John 16:32)- (fulfillment:(Mark 14:50)And there are many more.
