Traits and Context
The following attempts to answer the question, "Why do you have scriptures that were before Christ?" Jesus didn't just pop out of nowhere on a whim. Jesus had a context. That context, from the beginning of Creation to the Second Coming (and beyond, actually), is laid out in Scripture, and serves, in part, to confirm His deity. It is not surprising that much of that context is established BEFORE He arrived here in our history, otherwise, most of His context would have been lacking, and His advent would have seemed like the advent of an interloper (a fellow who actually DID pop in out of nowhere). That context includes the birth of the Jewish religion and the Hebrew nation in Israel. That context includes multiple Messianic prophecies. The foundation for all the nuances and subtleties of His surroundings - the things that defined Him - needed to be established before He appeared; the stage had to be set. And you don't set the stage DURING the play; you set it BEFORE. That/These is/are the reason/s you have scriptures that were before Christ.

Plot helps us understand characters by showing their actions, decisions, and motivations in context.

The plot provides a framework for revealing the depth and complexity of the characters' personalities, allowing readers to connect with and empathize with them on a deeper level.
