Jesus and His Church have fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies. The people of God are now the Body of Christ.
Here is an example:
Prophecy
[Zech 8:20] "Thus says the LORD of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, even the inhabitants of many cities;
[Zech 8:21] the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, 'Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts; I am going.
[Zech 8:22] Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of the LORD.
[Zech 8:23] Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, 'Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with
you."
Fulfillment
Acts 14:27
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
Acts 15:
"7": And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren,ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
"8": And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
"9": And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. (ONE Church, ONE Faith, ONE Spirit. Two thousand years ago Jews and Gentiles were joined into ONE Body, the holy Body of Christ--the Church.)
