No. Prophecy began early in the Old Testament, immediately after man sinned [or failed to obey God's Commandments - see I John 3:4] and the necessity of a Savior was made manifest.
Jesus, the WORD of God [the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament - see John 1;3], immediately after the man and women hid themselves from Him after they sinned, foretold the future, or "prophesied," regarding the future generations of women, men, and the serpent's future role with both man and Christ's future death [see Gen.3::14-19].
To Satan Jesus prophesied: "...you are singled out from all the domestic and wild animals of the whole earth... You will grovel in the dust as long as you live, crawling on your belly... you and the woman will be enemies [the woman being an allusion to God's church, maybe?], and your offspring and her offspring [the presence of demons on the earth and their influence and/or possession of the future generations of man, which still goes on today, contrary to popular secular belief] will be enemies. He [Christ] will crush your head, and you will strike His heel [see John 13:27]." (Gen.3:14-15 NLT New Living Translation)
We find Abel's blood sacrifices, of which our Creator, Jesus Christ, the WORD, approved above his brother Cain's grain offerings, which prophesied of the Messiah's future blood sacrifice for His creation:
"...Abel [the shepherd] brought several choice lambs from the best of his flock. The LORD accepted Abel and his offering, but He did not accept Cain [the farmer] and his offering..." (Gen.4:4-5 NLT).
Jude reveals that Enoch prophesied of Christ's second coming before the flood:
"...Enoch... prophesied about these people. He said, 'Look, the LORD is coming with thousands of His holy ones. He will bring the people of the world to Judgment. He will convict the ungodly of all the evil things they have done in rebellion and of all the insults that godless sinners have spoken against Him." (Jude 1:14-15 NLT)
Prophecy is evident throughout The Bible [nearly one-third of the Bible is prophecy: "...here a little, and there a little..." - Isa.28:10 found in different places]... and it doesn't begin with Elijah.

Why would the Jewish people of Jesus' day expect Elijah's return to the land of Israel?
There is nothing outside the Christian gospels to say that the first century Jews really did expect the return of Elijah. However, the people of the day were very superstitious and the Bible says that Elijah was taken up into heaven without dying. for these reasons it is possible that they believed in the possibility of a return of Elijah.Another answer:The Jews' expectations of Elijah's return arose from the prophecy of Malachi 4:5, 6 - "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."Luke's gospel announces the fulfillment of the prophecy in John the Baptist, the prophet who came "in the spirit and power of Elijah" (Luke 1:17).[Quotes from NKJV]
