To the Hebrew mindset prophesy can mean pattern that is one prophesy can have multiple fulfillment even partial fulfillment. Eg coming down from mount of transfiguration the disciples ask about Elijah, Jesus says Elijah will come - future and that he has already come ie John the Baptist
Exactly. And also some prophecy verses can have partial fulfillment at one period of time and thousands of years later be fully fulfilled such as the Daniel 70 weeks or one of my favorites when Jesus, in Luke 4, read the first part of the verse in Isaiah 61 because he will fulfill the rest at his second coming.
