While it is true that both unbelieving Jews and faithful anointed Christians saw a limited fulfillment of Jesus ’ words in the first century, only his anointed followers back then could learn from these events ​ — could understand the true meaning of what they saw.
وَمَعَ أَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي ٱلْقَرْنِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ رَأَوْا مَثَلُهُمْ مَثَلُ ٱلْمَسِيحِيِّينَ ٱلْمَمْسُوحِينَ ٱلْأُمَنَاءِ إِتْمَامًا مَحْدُودًا لِكَلِمَاتِ يَسُوعَ ،‏ وَحْدَهُمُ ٱلْمَمْسُوحُونَ تَعَلَّمُوا مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْحَوَادِثِ ،‏ أَيْ فَهِمُوا ٱلْمَعْنَى ٱلْحَقِيقِيَّ لِمَا رَأَوْهُ .‏
