The earliest prophesy of the coming of Christ ?.

1 Then Adam said to God: "O Lord, take You my soul, and let me not see this gloom any more; or remove me to some place where there is no darkness." 2 But God the Lord said to Adam, "Indeed I say to you, this darkness will pass from you, every day I have determined for you, until the fulfillment of My covenant; when I will save you and bring you back again into the garden, into the house of light you long for, in which there is no darkness*. I will bring you to it -- in the kingdom of heaven." 3 Again said God to Adam, "All this misery that you have been made to take on yourself because of your transgression, will not free you from the hand of Satan, and will not save you. 4 But I will. When I shall come down from heaven, and shall become flesh of your descendants, and take on Myself the infirmity from which you suffer, then the darkness that covered you in this cave shall cover Me in the grave, when I am in the flesh of your descendants. 5 And I, who am without years, shall be subject to the reckoning of years, of times, of months, and of days, and I shall be reckoned as one of the sons of men, in order to save you." ==NOT HOLY SCRIPTURE BUT STILL RINGS AS WORDS OF TRUTH!!!

That's from one of the "Books of Adam," which even Jewish scholars reject.

The oldest known prophesies concerning the coming of Christ are those found in the first book of the Bible, Genesis. It is chronologically among the 5 oldest books (the Pentateuch), though how old is hotly debated. The general consensus seems to be somewhere between 900 and 500 BCE, unless one counts Jewish beliefs that they were dictated orally to Moses at Mt. Sinai or that the Torah pre-existed even the creation of Adam in the Garden of Eden.
