In this article, I argue that puzzling apostolic interpretations of some Old Testament messages as fulfilled in specific New Testament contexts, to which the Old Testa-ment messages do not apparently refer, are actually applications of the Old Testament messages to apostolic times. These applications are informed by a view of God, distinctively manifest in prophecy, which understands him to speak in ways commensurate with his foreknowledge and purposes, with the result that what he has said has multiple references beyond the single initial one. This view of God is presupposed by the apostles’ use of the verb πληρωθῇ through its close association with prophecy, hence their use of the verb for “applies to”.

令人困惑的旧约使徒解释学作为神学解释学

在这篇文章中，我认为，在特定的新约上下文中实现的一些旧约信息的令人费解的使徒解释，旧约信息显然没有提到，实际上是旧约信息在使徒时代的应用。这些应用是由一种上帝的观点所告知的，在预言中特别体现出来，它理解他以与他的预知和目的相称的方式说话，结果他所说的除了最初的单一引用之外还有多种引用。这种上帝观的前提是使徒使用动词πληρωθῇ 与预言密切相关，因此他们使用动词“适用于”。
