prophecies

These prophecies about the end, fulfilled in a sense during Jesus' crucifixion, show just how definetely the New Testament writers saw the crucifixion in an eschatological light. Yet these prophecies are not fulfilled in every way at the crucifixion; they possess dimensions which still await fulfillment. This shows how unsystematically the New Testament writers approach eschatology. Prophecies which refer to the end can be fulfilled both at the crucifixion and later. This should serve as a warning against taking a narrowly eschatological view of the crucifixion, as though it excluded all future expectation. Adrio Konig, The Eclipse of Christ in Eschatology, p. 76
