![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As the verse suggests some in superior roles and some like Ekron in an inferior role, as some Jebusites at the time of David were assimilated into Israel as inferiors, we get the prophecy that all in all the difference between the remnant of both Jew and Gentile will be removed. If so, the Christian view would be that this would be a preliminary fulfillment only. If as a result a significant group of survivors became God fearing attendees of the synagogue I do not know. Possibly this destruction occurred when Alexander the Great helped the Jews and at the same time destroyed the neighbouring countries. There is not a standard belief among various bible scholars about what this means, but I suppose in general it could be said to the agreement of most that the prophecy is referring to a remnant of the Philistines, which Ekron was a city of, who would become proselytes of Judaism as a result of the destruction that was to fall on them. ![]()
