Right Dividing Prophecy

Someone drew a diagram with five circles, the Jews, the Gentiles, the elect in both, and a large circle comprising all the elect.

I would say this. There were Old Testament prophecies about all five circles. Rightly dividing the word involves knowing which prophecy described which circle, when and where it was fulfilled, whether or how the fulfilment of each was interdependent with another, and whether or not prophecy described any interaction or expandability to another circle of certain details regarding one circle. To just place the fulfilment of all prophecy in the top, largest circle is to miss a lot of history, a lot of foundation, a lot of process, and authority - and could result in skewed expectations of the future.
