follow the sequence of fulfillment?

[YiRan]

Hi, all

One of my friend wrote a sentence like this:

The words in the Bible begin to follow the sequence of fulfillment.

Q: What does the part in purple mean? Does it make sense?

I do not understand your friend's sentence. Do not sweat over it. Or just ask your friend what he/she meant and then we can discuss whether he/she said it well.

 

[velisarius]

It doesn't mean anything to me. Why don't you ask the friend who wrote it? What does he/she want it to mean?

Neither do I understand... But I'd be curious about what your friend really meant!

 

[YiRan]

She wanted to express that the words in the Bible begin to fulfill one by one.

Is her sentence (in purple) correct?

 

[Edinburgher]

the words in the Bible begin to fulfill one by one

That doesn't make any sense either. What are they beginning to fulfil?

 

[velisarius]

Do you mean that the Biblical prophecies are starting to be fulfilled? That what was written in the Bible is beginning to come true?

 

[truffe2miel]

Either facts fulfil a prophecy, or something is announced in the form of a prophecy and is occurring as prophetised, or the events are starting to happen as announced.

I think that the simplest way to say something is most often the best

Yes, this is what she meant.

Agreed, thank you, truffe2miel.
