We can see this principle operating in the prophecies of the Old Testament: John the Baptist was the return of Elijah (mal 4:5), The Messiah's Name was to be Immanuel (isa 7:14), the Messiah was to have a throne (Isa. 9:7), was to be a ruler in Israel (Mic. 5:2), etc. These prophecies, and almost all others, were fulfilled according to their figurative, not literal meaning.
(2:5)
