"These
things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled ... ‘They will
look on the One they have pierced’" (John 19:36-37).
"They
will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly
for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son" (Zechariah 12:10).
"‘Look,
He is coming with the clouds,’ and ‘every eye will see Him, even those
who pierced Him’; and all peoples on earth ‘will mourn because of Him.’
So shall it be! Amen" (Revelation 1:7).
There is prophecy
that has been fulfilled. There is prophecy that will be fulfilled. From
the words of the prophet, we look to events that have already taken
place - the crucifixion of Christ. We also look forward to an event that
still lies in the future - the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. We give
thanks to God for the fulfilment of prophecy. We trust in God for the
fulfilment of prophecy.
