The one I just quoted is the fulfillment of the first thing God said to Israel when they reached Mt Sinai.
And now if you will obey my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall become a special treasure to me above all the nations, for all the earth is Mine. And you shall become a kingdom of priests to me, a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the sons of Israel. Exodus 19:5-6
Within 40 or so days they broke the covenant and that promise was deferred until the holy nation of God was born at Pentecost from above.
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the ecellencies of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1 Peter 2:9
If you want, start a thread on this and we'll go through every prophecy you want and I'll show how all of it has been fulfilled and is being fulfilled in Christ and his body
Act 2:19
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour (pillars) of smoke:
Act 2:20
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
before G4250 that great and notable
day of the Lord come:
*************************************************************************************************************
"pillars of smoke" = mushroom clouds, probably nuclear weapons
The KJV translates Strong's H8490 in the following manner: pillar (2x).

***************************************************************************************************************
"day of the Lord" = BEGINS at the great tribulation , the "time of Jacob's trouble", and continues in the reign of peace afterwards
**************************************************************************************************************
The birth of the Church age (at Pentecost), occurs BEFORE (and ends before) the "day of the Lord", the tribulation, because we are "snatched" by the Bridegroom to be taken our Fathers house (John 14:2-3)
The KJV translates Strong's G4250 in the following manner: before (11x),
before that (2x),
ere (1x).

- before, formerly
