Yet still we are to keep in mind, that as the New Testament giveth light unto the Old, so the Old Testament giveth light unto the New: they give light mutually one unto another. Tis the same Christ, & the same Gospel, which is held forth both in the old & in the New Testament: Heb: 13.8. Gal. 3.8. As the truths of the old Testament, are confirmed by the New: so what more frequent then the confirmation of the New Testament, from the Old: both by Christ and his Apostles? The word Until, doth not here intend a certain time, whereat they were discharged from after attention, to the word of Prophecy: as if they who were commended for their attention hitherto, were now dismissed therefrom and stood not from henceforth obliged any more.

Gen: 28.15. For I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of, 2 Sam: 6.23. Therefore Michal, the daughter of Saul had no child unto [or until] the day of her death, Mat: 16 28. They shall not taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God. It were ill gathered from hence, either that God did forsake Jacob after he had performed that promise concerning his safe return. Or, that Michal had a child after the day of her death. Or, that the Disciples which saw his glory in the Mount, should not out-live the Ascension, Mission of the Holy Ghost, and the promulgation of the Gospel to the Gentiles, with signs ensuing.
