I am sorry you could not see what Paul is saying in
Romans 15. He is simply showing how fulfillments are positively used in the Church. Say it anyway you wish, but THAT is what he means.

So with what you said earlier in mind; since these New Testament fulfillments of Jesus are now past, how do these still give the church hope? Of course I know that His birth and crucifixion gives us daily hope. But you indicated that prophecies that are past are not useful to the Church today. So how are Jesus’ fulfillments any different than what is being said about Revelation?
