What prophetic fulfillment other than Christ exists in the verses?

Well exegeted and expressed, bro.

So you would accept the following RCC claims rejected by the Reformers? “All the names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, De Conciliorum...

Explain how "they" is Jesus. Yes, we can rule that out.

The sole fulfillment of Hosea 11:1 is identified as Christ in Matthew 2:15. There is no re-fulfillment.

We see them today. The Holy Spirit through inspired Scripture shows them to us. They are expressed in the past and present tenses.

The excellent example of Zechariah 13:7 is its fulfillment in Matthew 26:31. The excellent example of Joel 2:28 is its fulfillment in Acts 2:17. Acts 17:21 ?

Does Matthew 26:31 limit Zechariah 13:7?

Where did Jesus describe Judas as a church or member thereof? Book, chapter, verse please. :laughing:

Strange. You didn't describe it as speculation here. "Sure a physical Temple was destroyed, sure there is great physical tribulation, sure people may have fled into physical mountains, sure there is literal famine in the world, sure there is literal pestilence, etc., etc." Do I detect more...

Dumbest. Nowhere in Scripture are those who have forsaken the truth described as a church or as members of a church. :laughing:

Not our. Your. Jesus filled every vacuum with His descriptions of specific literal events in His Olivet Discourse. Are you now claiming that the literal destruction of Jerusalem and flight of the Judaean Church are speculations?

If, as you claim, Matthew 24 conveys exclusively spiritual truth, then why did the specific literal events of Matthew 24 occur at all? The vast majority of the parables and other examples that Jesus used in His teaching depicted scenarios and situations that did not specifically literally...

Romans 1 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Ephesians 2 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Hebrews 5 9 And being made perfect, he became the author...

Faith and obedience. Same as the NT Elect. Ever hear of those? :laughing:

Not. Then stop racializing Him. I got it from "seed" in Genesis 17:12. Would you prefer I use that instead of "DNA"? How did they become the chosen Elect? The fallen are not chosen. The faithful obedient are. The OT Elect were both Jews and Gentiles in faithful obedient covenant...

Nothing to do with Jews and Gentiles. Israel was comprised of both throughout its history. God is not a racist. He has never dealt with individuals according to their DNA, but rather according to whether they are or are not in faithful obedient covenant relationship with Him. Those who are...

The True Church of God is described in cited Scriptures as spiritual stones. In Matthew 24:2 et al, stones are destroyed. But the True Church was not and will never be destroyed. Thus Matthew 24:2 does not refer to the spiritual stones of the True Church. It refers to the physical stones of...

Unlike the True Church, never were they described as spiritual stones. There is only One Builder of the True Church, and He is Christ. Matthew 16:18, 1 Corinthians 3:9

It is exclusively Christ and His True Church who are described as spiritual stones: Matthew 21:42, Matthew 21:44, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17-18, Acts 4:11, Ephesians 2:20, 1 Peter 2:4-8 Nowhere are OT Israelites or anyone else described thus.
