Doesn't make sense if it was fulfilled with Christ, why was Paul writing about it as a future event long after His death and resurrection? As far as 70AD the only thing fulfilled there was the destruction of a worthless temple that Christ said was desolate approximately 40 years before it was destroyed. How long will you continue to cling to a doctrine inspired by the writings of a 16th century Jesuit preist (Alcasar) whose soul purpose in starting the doctrine was to counter the reformation?

​ Whether you take :fullness " to mean quality or quantity , we can now have quality of the future at least in part by faith. ie By faith we have the substance of sitting in heavenly places in Christ. And many more things we have been promised and hope for.But the fact that we do walk by faith and not by sight also makes clear we have not entered into the completeness of the glorious mystery revealed by the spirit to us, namely that we ,by gods love, are his children.For the time will come when we walk not by faith ,but by sight. And will know even as we are known. Also we wait with patience for a new heaven and new earth, Which also the whole creation groans and waits for. As far as the number of souls, Rev 6:11 ....And white robes were given unto them that they should rest yet for a season , until their fellow-servants also and their brethren ,that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Seems to indicate there is an actual number that God knows will come to him, or in this case, testify of Jesus by their death,In order for Gods purposes to be fulfilled.

When do the Jews recognize the one they pierced is Christ?
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
I do not think that anyone can say they have seen or have any proof that the inhabitants of Jerusalem have looked upon the one who they have pierced and have mourned for him as one would their only son or in bitterness for their firstborn. There is no indication that this has happened with the house of David or with any of the tribes of Israel. Even at Pentecost the Jews heard the gospel from Peter, one of their own, and there is no recording of any mourning or bitterness on their part of from those who inhabited Jerusalem.

Can anyone say with certainty that what was given to the prophet Zechariah in chapter 12 has been fulfilled?

1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. 2Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. 4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. 5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God. 6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people roundabout, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. 7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah. 8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced , and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. 11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 12 And the land shall mourn , every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart; 13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; 14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

Have any of us seen these specific things take place or come to past with the inhabitants of Jerusalem or has it been recorded as being fulfilled in any generation of the past up to the present? This is all the Lord's doing and if it is his doing, surely we would know if it has been accomplished starting at the cross or even at Pentecost. If is has not been accomplished yet, then it is for another time and when would that time be, in that day?

I mean unless of course if you read scripture.............Acts 2
[SUP]36 [/SUP]“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
[SUP]37[/SUP]Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
[SUP]38 [/SUP]Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [SUP]39 [/SUP]For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

Doulos, I will give that you have more knowledge about other doctrines than I do because I have no clue who Alcasar is and I don't really care at this time to research what you believe and try to show you the truth in scripture. I've skimmed other threads and it appears you don't read or listen very well so it would be an exercise in futility. but I will try one more time.....2 covenants: one with Abraham is Eternal... one with Moses is NOT.........Israel broke the covenant with God that was mediated by Moses......God predicted it and told Moses to record a song against them...that song was fulfilled by Jesus and by the destruction of the temple........Deuteronomy 31
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you will rest with your fathers; and this people will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they go to be among them, and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. [SUP]17 [/SUP]Then My anger shall be aroused against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them, and they shall be devoured. And many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, ‘Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?’ [SUP]18 [/SUP]And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other gods.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]“Now therefore, write down this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Israel. [SUP]20 [/SUP]When I have brought them to the land flowing with milk and honey, of which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and filled themselves and grown fat, then they will turn to other gods and serve them; and they will provoke Me and break My covenant. [SUP]21 [/SUP]Then it shall be, when many evils and troubles have come upon them, that this song will testify against them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten in the mouths of their descendants, for I know the inclination of their behavior today, even before I have brought them to the land of which I swore to give them.
here is the song................
[h=3]Deuteronomy 32[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)

32 “Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak;
And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Let my teaching drop as the rain,
My speech distill as the dew,
As raindrops on the tender herb,
And as showers on the grass.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]For I proclaim the name of the Lord:
Ascribe greatness to our God.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]He is the Rock, His work is perfect;
For all His ways are justice,
A God of truth and without injustice;
Righteous and upright is He.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]“They have corrupted themselves;
They are not His children,
Because of their blemish:
A perverse and crooked generation.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Do you thus deal with the Lord,
O foolish and unwise people?
Is He not your Father, who bought you?
Has He not made you and established you?

[SUP]7 [/SUP]“Remember the days of old,
Consider the years of many generations.
Ask your father, and he will show you;
Your elders, and they will tell you:
[SUP]8 [/SUP]When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations,
When He separated the sons of Adam,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the children of Israel.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]For the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.

[SUP]10 [/SUP]“He found him in a desert land
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
He kept him as the apple of His eye.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]As an eagle stirs up its nest,
Hovers over its young,
Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
Carrying them on its wings,
[SUP]12 [/SUP]So the Lord alone led him,
And there was no foreign god with him.

[SUP]13 [/SUP]“He made him ride in the heights of the earth,
That he might eat the produce of the fields;
He made him draw honey from the rock,
And oil from the flinty rock;
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock,
With fat of lambs;
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the choicest wheat;
And you drank wine, the blood of the grapes.

[SUP]15 [/SUP]“But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked;
You grew fat, you grew thick,
You are obese!
Then he forsook God who made him,
And scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]They provoked Him to jealousy with foreign gods;
With abominations they provoked Him to anger.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]They sacrificed to demons, not to God,
To gods they did not know,
To new gods, new arrivals
That your fathers did not fear.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful,
And have forgotten the God who fathered you.

[SUP]19 [/SUP]“And when the Lord saw it, He spurned them,
Because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them,
I will see what their end will be,
For they are a perverse generation,
Children in whom is no faith.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God;
They have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols.
But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation;I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]For a fire is kindled in My anger,
And shall burn to the lowest hell;
It shall consume the earth with her increase,
And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

[SUP]23 [/SUP]‘I will heap disasters on them;
I will spend My arrows on them.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]They shall be wasted with hunger,
Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction;
I will also send against them the teeth of beasts,
With the poison of serpents of the dust.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]The sword shall destroy outside;
There shall be terror within
For the young man and virgin,
The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]I would have said, “I will dash them in pieces,
I will make the memory of them to cease from among men,”
[SUP]27 [/SUP]Had I not feared the wrath of the enemy,
Lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
Lest they should say, “Our hand is high;
And it is not the Lord who has done all this.”’

[SUP]28 [/SUP]“For they are a nation void of counsel,
Nor is there any understanding in them.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this,
That they would consider their latter end!
[SUP]30 [/SUP]How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock had sold them,
And the Lord had surrendered them?
[SUP]31 [/SUP]For their rock is not like our Rock,
Even our enemies themselves being judges.
[SUP]32 [/SUP]For their vine is of the vine of Sodom
And of the fields of Gomorrah;
Their grapes are grapes of gall,
Their clusters are bitter.
[SUP]33 [/SUP]Their wine is the poison of serpents,And the cruel venom of cobras.

[SUP]34 [/SUP]‘Is this not laid up in store with Me,
Sealed up among My treasures?
[SUP]35 [/SUP]Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;
Their foot shall slip in due time;
For the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things to come hasten upon them.’

[SUP]36 [/SUP]“For the Lord will judge His people
And have compassion on His servants,
When He sees that their power is gone,
And there is no one remaining, bond or free.

[SUP]37 [/SUP]He will say: ‘Where are their gods,
The rock in which they sought refuge?
[SUP]38 [/SUP]Who ate the fat of their sacrifices,
And drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise and help you,
And be your refuge.

[SUP]39 [/SUP]‘Now see that I, even I, am He,
And there is no God besides Me;
I kill and I make alive;
I wound and I heal;
Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]For I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, “As I live forever,
[SUP]41 [/SUP]If I whet My glittering sword,
And My hand takes hold on judgment,
I will render vengeance to My enemies,
And repay those who hate Me.
[SUP]42 [/SUP]I will make My arrows drunk with blood,
And My sword shall devour flesh,
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the heads of the leaders of the enemy.”’

[SUP]43 [/SUP]“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people;[SUP][a][/SUP]
For He will avenge the blood of His servants,
And render vengeance to His adversaries;
He will provide atonement for His land and His people.”
I doubt it will help but one can always pray....

Have any of us seen these specific things take place or come to past with the inhabitants of Jerusalem or has it been recorded as being fulfilled in any generation of the past up to the present? This is all the Lord's doing and if it is his doing, surely we would know if it has been accomplished starting at the cross or even at Pentecost. If is has not been accomplished yet, then it is for another time and when would that time be, in that day?




okay....i'll post this for at least the fifth time in three days:

John 19
Jesus’ Side Is Pierced

31Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. 33But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. 36For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” 37And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

Luke 23
The Crucifixion

26And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. 27And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. 28But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

Matthew 27
55There were also many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, 56among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Mark 40
40There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.



~



Luke 23
28But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”


Luke 21
Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem

20“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. 21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, 22for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. 23Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and wrath against this people. 24They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.



~



Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’:
The words of the prophet become a sort of proverbial saying for misery, which longs for death rather than life. The destruction of Samaria was the type of the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and of every other final excision, when the measure of iniquity was filled, and there was neither hope nor remedy. This was the characteristic of the destruction of Samaria. They had been God's people; they were to be so no more. This was the characteristic of the destruction of Jerusalem, not by the Babylonians, after which it was restored, but by the Romans, when they had rejected Christ, and prayed, "His Blood be on us and on our children." So will it be in the end of the world. Hence, our Lord uses the words Luke 23:30, to forewarns of the miseries of the destruction of Jerusalem, when the Jews hid themselves in caves for fear of the Romans ; and John uses them to picture man's despair at the end of the world Revelation 6:16.

Acts 1

1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach[SUP]2 [/SUP]until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.[SUP]3 [/SUP]After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.[SUP]5 [/SUP]For John baptized with[SUP][a][/SUP] water, but in a few days you will be baptized with[SUP][b][/SUP] the Holy Spirit.”

Didn't Jesus have Thomas place his hand into Jesus side? And didn't He also show Himself to be alive for 40 days and to over 500 eyewitnesses? Just wondering.

I mean unless of course if you read scripture.............Acts 2
36“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
[SUP]37[/SUP]Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
[SUP]38 [/SUP]Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [SUP]39 [/SUP]For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Are you implying that all that Zechariah 12 specifically mentions is contained within the framework of that one phrase in verse 37, 'they were cut to the heart' If you do it would good if you could show us New Testament examples or even any church history that mentions where any specifics of Zechariah 12 has been fulfilled as prophecy. Remember this, chapter 12 of Zechariah is one prophecy with many specifics that the Lord gave to Zechariah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who were not dispersed but inhabited their own place (land), Jerusalem in verse 6 of Zech 12.

until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.


the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled (Titus - not salvation) is not the Fullness of the Gentiles (fatness of the Church through the announcement of their inclusion - salvation)

BOTH have been fufilled.

As I said before it has always been about faith. As for as the old covenant being a conditional covenant well let’s have a look.
Gen 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

SEED = JESUS not all of Abraham's descendents. the promise is to and about JESUS. ..................................................


Um, You do understand it was pre-incarnate Jesus (the God of Israel) who made this covenant with abraham do you not? Was Jesus going to be his own God?

not to mention you must skip vs 8, where the same God promises the land to his same seed.. I did not know Jesus was given only a part of land, thought he was given the whole earth.


Lev 26:44 - 45
And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

REMNANT saved. not UTTERLY destroyed.... APOSTLES were of ISRAEL.. .they are part of the REMNANT.......... GOD kept this promise by bring in some JEWS to faith in JESUS..........therefore this was FULFILLED.............................


It was? He said never, thus even today this MUST be true, or God lied.. do you believe this is true even today?

Show the proof that Zechariah 12 has been fulfilled according to what has been prophesied in chapter 12. Please be specific.
until thethe Gentiles are fulfilled.
until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.


the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled (Titus - not salvation) is not the Fullness of the Gentiles (fatness of the Church through the announcement of their inclusion - salvation)

BOTH have been fufilled.

Can anyone say with certainty that what was given to the prophet Zechariah in chapter 12 has been fulfilled?
Zec12 has not been fulfilled.

Doulos, I will give that you have more knowledge about other doctrines than I do because I have no clue who Alcasar is and I don't really care at this time to research what you believe and try to show you the truth in scripture.
Ariel82 I have some errands to run and as a result do not have time to fully address your entire post right now, so I wll have to wait until later to address most of it. But in the meantime maybe you could take a little time and do a little research on Alcasar, after all that Jesuit priest whose writings were published in the early 1600s (if memory sreves correctly, grrrr hate having my books in storage) to counter the reformation is what the view you now hold is based on. The reformers viewed his writings as heresy and the view did not start to be popularly accepted until about the last 100 - 150 years. I'll try to address the rest of your post when I am done with my errands. In the mean time have a blessed day and may God bless your studies.

ok...i thought i had been specific.





Zechariah 12
10And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

John 19
33But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

Zechariah 13
1In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

Zechariah 14
8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

John 4
10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

John 4
14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

John 7
37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Titus 3
4But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Hebrews 10
19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21And having an high priest over the house of God;
22Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Luke 24
25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

~

in case you're not convinced, on how to understand Old Testament prophecies (you might be...i don't know yet)....the prophets spoke of their own time; then near prophecies to be fulfilled; and almost always about the far events - these far events were always about The Promise - CHRIST, Redemption, the church, and ultimately the eternal state.

example: Zechariah 14 above speaks of the Coming of Messiah the First Time, and the Living Waters He offered.
what about the rest of 14:8:

Zechariah 14
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

the same far off prophecies and pictures seen by Ezekiel - Christ Coming, the Church (esp Apostles), the growth of the Church due to the Gospel and Spirit (Living Waters)...we see the dragnet there also....and into the eternal state - New Jerusalem. the very same city John saw in Revelation (refer to it yourself)

Ezekiel 47
1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

Mark 1
16Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

John 21
1After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

Zechariah 12
10And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications

Spirit poured upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem:

Acts 2
1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

poured out on the Gentiles: FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES

Acts 10
44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

27And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
28But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.



let me know if this has helped - or if conversely you believe otherwise, iydm, thx.

Zone could you be a little more specific?? only 20 scriptures. lol

As I understand Zechariah to be a prophet (minor at that) and this is prophecy. Prophecy is usually symbolic. So to help this poor under-educated person What are the symbolic meanings of Judah, Jerusalem and the House of David. I think these are important to know in determining if the Prophecy is ful-filled, to be ful-filled or being fulfilled.

Times and fullness do not mean the same thing.
I did not say that they did -- I said there was a connection between them.

The times of the gentiles refers to the time when Jerusalem is controlled by the gentiles, that ended in 1967. The fullness of the gentiles refers to the full number of the gentiles coming to the Lord.
I do not agree with this particular assessment (as written) - but...

2 separate issues please stick to the topic of the original post which is the fullness of the gentiles. Thanks!
... your thread. No problem.

"We shall see..."
