In regards to prophecy, a prophecy is a revelation of the will and intent of God. Since God does all things by wisdom, a prophecy provides a glimpse into the Divine Reasoning or Wisdom that is the cause of the prophesied event coming to pass. As a result, we can discover the principles that underlie what we call reality. We can discern patterns, several different events following similar patterns, or demonstrating certain principles that are expressed in various prophecies.
Some interpret that to mean "dual" or "multiple fulfillments" of prophecy. I look at it more as multiple layers of truth with applications to many situations, while keeping in mind that a prophecy always has a specific historical event in view, unless otherwise indicated in the text.

They taught us 1 interpretation with many applications, which became many interpretations and many applications. Spiritualization of scripture is the root cause of denominational-isms. They all think something can also mean other things too.
