That's a good point, however the NT reveals the OT no? Therefore, if we find similar apocalyptic language in both the OT and NT this informs us of similar events to come.
As I mentioned yesterday....Take any of the Messianic prophecies that we as Christians today point to and say "Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled this" and let me know if anyone had it figured out before it actually happened. Given the treasure of information we have the Qumran community from the DSS, we do know a lot more about what they thought Messiah(s) would be. The Qumran community believed there would be three figures to fulfill the Messianic prophecies. A king, a priest and the Teacher of Righteousness. They matched just about all the Messianic prophecies with the aforementioned Messianic figures and come the closest to confirming the understanding of what some were looking for at the time of Christ's birth. FF Bruce, noted author and theologian, wrote a book on the DSS and the Qumran community. Highly recommended.
My point? Not one Jewish religious faction 'got' the First Advent of Christ totally correct. Some came close and it was probably why so many initially followed Christ but when He did not preach overthrowing Rome, He lost many followers. Why? Because there are Messianic prophecies of predicting Messiah would be a conquering King (Second Advent). If those are to be literal fulfillments as were the First Advent fulfilled prophecies, why are we trying to bury them in symbolism, allegory and metaphor?
Jesus drew a thick line in bold colors on what He would do in the First Advent.
Luke 4: NASB
16And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.
17And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,
18“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR.
HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,
19TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”
20And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
21And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
Where did the above come from?
Isaiah 61: NASB
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
Because the LORD has anointed me
To bring good news to the afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to captives
And freedom to prisoners;
2To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
3To grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.
So they will be called oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
4Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins,
They will raise up the former devastations;
And they will repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
5Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks,
And foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.
6But you will be called the priests of the LORD;
You will be spoken of as ministers of our God.
You will eat the wealth of nations,
And in their riches you will boast.
7Instead of your shame you will have a double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
Everlasting joy will be theirs.
8For I, the LORD, love justice,
I hate robbery in the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their recompense
And make an everlasting covenant with them.
9Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
And their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize them
Because they are the offspring whom the LORD has blessed.
10I will rejoice greatly in the LORD,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.
Bolded and underlined happened during the First Advent. Literally fulfilled.
Keep reading Isaiah to the end (even chapter 60). You will see the promises of the Land promised and that they will be fulfilled. Jesus told the audience in Luke 4 the first 1.5 verses were fulfilled that day, and he literally fulfilled these prophecies during and after His ministry on Earth.
