04/02/2025 – “The Secret Hebrew Prophecies” (Day 315) // “Plero’o” – The filling up of that which was empty. Yeshua the Christ is our Plero-o. / Finding Our Destiny: “Your life is as a prophecy in waiting, unique from all others, a promise waiting for its fulfillment, and that can only be fulfilled by Messiah’s coming … into your life.”
“The teacher was giving a lesson before a gathering of students in the open-air tent. Reading from a scroll of the Prophets, he expounded on the Hebrew prophecies of Messiah’s coming: the prophecy of Micah that Messiah would be born in Bethlehem; of Zechariah that He would ride into Jerusalem on a donkey; and of Isaiah that He would be despised and rejected of men, die for sin, and yet become the light of the Gentiles. At the end of the lesson he left the tent and invited me to join him for a walk.
‘Consider the Messianic prophecies,’ he said. “each one created by God, each one unique, each containing a different piece of the mystery, a different promise of Messiah’s coming. Each existed for centuries waiting for the day of its fulfillment. The word is plero’o. Plero’o has to do with the filling up of that which was empty, as in the filling up of a cup. It is recorded over and over again that an event took place so ‘that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled’ or rather ‘that what was spoken by the prophet might be plero’o.”’
‘So, a prophecy is like an empty cup to be filled up at the appointed time.’
‘Yes,’ said the teacher. ‘But there’s more to it. In the second chapter of Colossians it is written ‘in Him you are complete.’ But behind the word translated as ‘complete’ is the Greek word plero’o. So the word used of Messiah fulfilling the ancient Hebrew prophecies is the exact same word used of Messiah fulfilling your life.’
He stopped walking, turned to me, and said, ‘Do you understand? Your life is like a Hebrew prophecy. You came into existence by God’s ordinance. And as a prophecy is unfulfilled and empty until its fulfillment, so too your life was unfulfilled until the day you found Him. Your life was a shadow of what it was created to become. So every life exists to find its plero’o. And only in Messiah can the plero’o be found. Your life is as a prophecy in waiting, a prophecy of Messiah, unique from all others, a promise waiting for its fulfillment, and that can only be fulfilled by Messiah’s coming … into your life. Messiah is your Plero’o. So make Him the aim and purpose of all you are and all you do. And He will fill every part of your being. For He is the Plero’o of your life … and your life is the prophecy of Him.’
The Mission: Live today as if your life was a prophecy, existing solely to be fulfilled by His presence and, in that fulfilling, to glorify Him.
