No, it is a new pattern. Jesus is never reported to have met earlier Jewish prophets, nor to have delivered a message from them to bring to the jews.
The New Testament is full of references to passages from the Israeli prophetic scrolls and how they presage the coming of Christ, so it is exactly similar. It is about the establishing of the line of succession...
No, fulfilling prophecy is one thing, Mo claimed to have met Moses et al and brought back a message saying They told Me to tell You that You're to follow Me.
This is the whole purpose of the Night Journey, otherwise it could just involve Gabriel saying you'rer the next prophet etc.
