This principle is stated on page 111 in the chapter […]

Progressive Dispensationalism, Reconstitution of Ethnic National Israel, and Acts 3:18
God does not break his promises. Let me repeat this: God does not break his promises. Acts 3:18 says, “But the things God foretold long ago through all the prophets—that his Christ would suffer—he has fulfilled in this way.” (Acts 3:18 emphasis mine) Acts 3:18 provides us a crucial hermeneutical principle for interpreting Old Testament […]
