The concept of Full in Christianity

In Christianity, the concept of Full signifies a complete state, reflecting a desired condition of wholeness. It refers to the anticipated fulfillment awaiting the Messiah's return, with connections to prophetic elements seen in the Euphrates. Additionally, the notion of Full is illustrated through the moon's phases, symbolizing the prophetic perfect orb that will illuminate the night. Early Christianity specifically notes that the Full moon's brightness during the crucifixion accentuated the surrounding darkness, enhancing the event's significance.1
