The early Christians needed evidence of antiquity for their new religion. By referring back to the Jewish prophets as foreshadowing the life and mission of Jesus, they were able to create this antiquity by association.
Most modern Christians are familiar with the many references in the four New Testament gospels to various of the Old Testament prophets, but even earlier references are found in Paul's epistles. When using scriptural references to explain a point or demonstrate the truth of his position, Paul quite frequently altered the original meaning of the text he was citing, especially the more obscure passages, presumably on the basis that his largely gentile audiences would be unable to confirm the accuracy of his citations.

What was the significance of Cloves converting to Christianity how does this compare to Constantine's converting to Christianity?
Clovis's conversion to Christianity in the late 5th century was significant because it marked the beginning of the Christianization of the Frankish kingdom, which laid the foundation for the future expansion of Christianity in Western Europe. Unlike Constantine, who converted in the early 4th century primarily to unify the Roman Empire and gain political advantage, Clovis's conversion was deeply personal and tied to his military victories, as he believed God aided him in battle. Both conversions, however, were pivotal in shaping the relationship between church and state, influencing the political landscape of their respective regions.
