these differences between traditionalists and progressives show up in how one views the old testament texts and promises in the new testament and how they are handled by the new testament writers. for traditionalists, who perceive the present dispensation as a parenthesis, the standard approach has been to view old testament quotations in the new testament as applications rather than fulfillment. if an old testament quotation is said to have a fulfillment role in the new testament (outside of the gospels), then that may imply that the present dispensation is no longer a parenthesis, but has a relationship or connection with the prior dispensation. in contrast, progressives, instead of approaching all old testament quotations in the new testament as application, attempt to take into account the context and grammatical-historical features of both old testament and new testament texts. an old testament quote in the new testament might turn out to be an application, but it also might be a partial fulfillment or a complete fulfillment or even something else.
