Discussion: ELTBefore Final Pei ף [∞]

1. What does the final Pe (ף) symbolize in relation to prophecy and Christ?
   • The final Pe represents the death of the prophet and the fulfillment of prophecy. It signifies the completion of God's spoken word, culminating in Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
2. How does Jesus' statement, "It is finished" (John 19:30), connect to the concept of ף?
   • Jesus’ declaration marks the fulfillment of all prophecy and the completion of His mission. Just as ף signifies the closing of the prophetic period, Jesus’ words confirm that He fulfilled the prophetic scriptures.
3. Why is Christ considered the ultimate Prophet in this interpretation?
   • Christ embodies the ultimate Prophet because His life and death completed all Old Testament prophecy. Unlike previous prophets who foretold God’s plan, Christ was the fulfillment of that plan.
4. How does Revelation 19:10 support the idea that prophecy was fulfilled in Christ?
   • The passage states that "the spirit of prophecy bears testimony to Jesus," reinforcing that all prophecy was directed toward Him and was completed through His death and resurrection.
5. What is the significance of Jesus’ reference to fulfilling the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17)?
   • Jesus clarifies that His purpose was not to abolish the Law and Prophets but to fulfill them. His death and resurrection marked the realization of everything prophesied in the Old Testament.
