This principle is part of Coach CAM's evolving framework for reading, studying, and interpreting sacred, historical, and philosophical texts. A full essay expanding this principle — including examples, counterexamples, and applications — will be published here.
One example found within the biblical tradition itself is the role of John the Baptist. Jesus stated that John came "in the spirit and power of Elijah," fulfilling the promised return of Elijah without requiring Elijah's literal reappearance. This interpretive approach — where prophecy is fulfilled through function, role, or mission rather than through the literal return of a historical individual — is one lens Coach CAM applies when studying prophetic passages across scripture.
