Christ is God in the OT as well. He is the one who walked with Adam in the garden, wrestled with Jacob and named him "Israel," protected the 3 men from the furnace, etc...
The people rejected Christ in the New Testament are the same as those who rejected him the OT, which is why they struggled to see their Messiah when he arrived. They weren't actually looking for Him. They had replaced Him with the law and their vain religiosity and temple hierarchy.
