It's often not the case the prophecy must be fulfilled within the lifetime of the prophet since the Messianic prophecies have not be fulfilled to this day. (Christians will argue that a subset of the prophecies have not yet been fulfilled and will be fulfilled when Christ returns.)

However, if a prophet believes that he will be alive to see the prophecy come true, he usually announces as much. For example, Moses would perform prophetic miracles right in front of adversaries and kinsmen alike.

Isaiah prophesied that a young boy would soon be born to a then-pregnant woman and would be named Emmanuel and this happened in the subsequent few months (because you can only be pregnant for so long). As a result, when prophecy is supposed to happen soon, the prophet will usually indicate as much.

Was Jesse a prophet?

Jesse is not traditionally recognized as a prophet in the biblical sense. Instead, he is known as the father of King David in the Hebrew Bible. However, Jesse is significant in biblical prophecy, as the prophet Isaiah references him in relation to the lineage of the Messiah, describing a "shoot from the stump of Jesse" (Isaiah 11:1). This emphasizes Jesse's role in the messianic line rather than as a prophet himself.
