Accommodation Of Scripture [1]
Is the application of it, not to its literal meaning, but to something analogous to it. Thus a prophecy is said to be fulfilled properly when a thing foretold comes to pass; and, by way of accommodation, when an event happens to any place or people similar to what fell out some time before to another. Thus the words of Isaiah, spoken to those of his own time, are said to be fulfilled in those who lived in our Saviour's, "Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy, " &c: which same words St. Paul afterwards accommodates to the Jews of his time, Is. 39: 14. Matthew 15:8 . Acts 13:41 . Great care, however, should be taken by preachers who are fond of accommodating texts, that they first clearly state the literal sense of the passage.
