"This law observes the fact that often a passage or a block of Scripture is speaking of two different persons or two different events that are separated by a long period of time."
According to Dr. Fruchtenbaum, the two are blended into one passage. It can be determined that there are two events, or two persons being referred to, because of what other portions of scripture say.
An example of this law is the first and second coming of Christ. No hint is given that there is a period of time between the two events. See Zechariah 9:9-10, 9:9 is speaking of the first coming, 9:10 the second.
Dr. Fruchtenbaum is at pains to point out that this is NOT the "Law of Double Fulfilment" which he rejects. This law suggests that a prophecy may be fulfilled twice.
