CLAIM: These chapters contain four prophetic oracles from Balaam to Balak, the king of Moab. Some of these prophetic oracles were partially fulfilled, as King David and other Israelite kings defeated Israel’s enemies. The fullness of these oracles will be fulfilled in the Millennial Kingdom with the final destruction of some nations. Jesus is described as the star that would arise out of Jacob and the scepter that would come out of Israel to crush hostile nations.
Fulfilled.
Fulfilled in Israel’s history and in Jesus’ dominion today. He has already received the Kingdom, and He has already been given authority, honor, dominion and a Kingdom. In Matthew 28:18 He said He already had all authority, so the Daniel 7:14 throne room scene is interpreted as His ascension after His resurrection.
Of course, Israel is always the template for teaching us in the church, in the bad it points what not to do, and in the good, it shows what God’s intent was. The wilderness of the Exodus points to Jesus Himself, our individual an corporate journeys, as well as other possibilities. The point is that they were written for our instruction. Thus, they will always speak to us about the future, and specifically, David’s life will speak to us of Jesus’. But, as for specific prophecy which must be fulfilled, they are fulfilled. Jesus reigns with all authority now, and He must remain on the throne until the last enemy is brought under His feet.
