"Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
Old things
have passed away; all things have become new."
II Corinthians 5:17 |

"NT History as a Parable Showing Our Transformation in Christ"
"To see the things of the future
face to face is granted only to the after life ; to him who
looks forward the future appears only in the mirror of the present ;
the symbol of the future hovers before him in the signs of his time.
Hence the conflict of Christian history and the hope of eternal
victory were to the writer of the Apocalypse symbolically reflected
in the confusions of his time ; and if he saw close at hand the
eternal triumph of the kingdom of God, he simply erred in the same
way as Isaiah or his greater post-Exilic successor, the former of
whom expected that the Assyrian oppression and deliverance from it,
and the latter that the Babylonian captivity and deliverance, alone
separated them from the Messianic salvation." (Willibald
Beyschlag,
New Testament Theology)

EARLY CHURCH SOURCE -
SAINT
CYRIL :
"Although Christ
is but one, yet he is understood by us under a variety of
forms :
"He is the
tabernacle on account of the human body in which he dwelt. He is the table, because he is our bread of life. He is the ark, which has the law of God inclosed within,
because he is the word of the Father. He is the candlestick, because he is our spiritual light. He is the altar of incense, because he is a sweet-smelling
odor of sanctification. He is the altar of burnt sacrifice, because he is the
victim, by death upon the cross, for the sins of the whole
world."

HI:
Johannes Oecolampadius Study Archive "Observe here,
whoever acts as a preacher, [the nature of] your office. For the
task is, that with Isaiah you may first be a disciple rather than a
teacher, and may be among those who have seen God, whom Scripture
calls θεοδιδάκτους [taught by God]. May you also be called by God,
as was Aaron, and not like Nadab and Abihu, and Korah, and others.
May the desire of Uzziah first die to you, who intruded into sacred
things from his own audacity."

Interaction on David Field's article "Idealism and Double
Fulfillment" "The
idealist’s desire to be inclusive and general results in
incoherence. And, funnily enough, you’ve lost coherence in an
attempt to gain something which you think the preterist/futurist
lacks when in fact they (so long as they do their
association/application thing seriously) not only have it but are
the only ones who have grounds for having it and holding it stably
and securely."
