How Prophecy is Fulfilled

 I'm not a Dispensationalist. I believe in fulfilment. But not the type that involves simple replacement. No-one does 100%. 

Consider again my analogy in an earlier post of the christmas delivery. You could tell your relatives that you intend sending them a Christmas package; you could also tell the neighbours there that you intend gifts to be distributed to them as well; and you can find a way to say it all at once - but when it comes to your promise actually happening, it doesn't happen all at once, but each in its order. First the package gets delivered to your relatives, and then distributed to the neighbours.

So I say God's promises for Israel came to pass in Israel and were being received by Israelites. The Apostles asserted and proved that.

Afterwards the promises concerning Gentiles were fulfilled also. The Apostles proved that reference was made in the prophets to exactly this regarding Gentiles.


It would be a mistake for someone to miss that there'd been the delivery of your package to your relatives before the neighbours began receiving their distribution.
