I think an example of a discrete fulfillment is Acts 2:16-21. I don't think there is any discounting of the initial context.kaufmannphillips wrote:Acts 2:25-35 might have a couple of examples. The writer portrays Peter as discounting fulfillment in the initial context, but asserting fulfillment in a first-century context. The reasoning behind this might amount to a sense of "discrete" fulfillment.
Any example(s) you'd like to offer?
I don't think that some of the Old Testament prophets were aware of the context of the words that God was instructing them to write, so I wouldn't agree that in Acts 2:25-35 Peter was abandoning the original context.
