I see "when the fullness of the heathen have come in, then shall the Deliverer come forth out of Zion" as the two carry-away of the Jews to Babylon. First, only the high class of Jews understood by king Jehoiachin, accompanied by all the princes and Jews from the high class including Ezekiel and Daniel. Then about 10 years later another layer of the Babylonian armies returned for the second last taken over of the Jews to exile in Babylon. This time the Temple was destroyed and the deliverer aka the Everlasting Righteousness came forth our of Zion aka the Shechinah to Babylon with the rest of the People. (Dan. 9:24; II Chron. 36:11-14)
Luke has Paul mentioning those seven heathen-nations in the Acts 13 discourse, (Acts 13:19) yet at the end of this same discourse Paul closes with the following warning and quote:
Acts 13:40-41
40. Beware therefore lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:
41. Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you [Habakkuk 1:5].
As we know this comes from HaNavi Habakkuk:
Habakkuk 1:5-10 KJV
5. Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
7. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9. They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10. And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
Those "hasty Chaldeans" are not physical entities but rather of an unclean spiritual nature, (demons and their doctrines) because clearly they come to take possession of dwellings not their own, (every man has his house) and their horses are swifter than leopards. This is therefore in accordance with the doctrine of Messiah concerning the seven heathen-nations of Deutereonomy 7:1, of which I spoke, which seven heathen-nations of the Land are symbolic of demons and their doctrines, as revealed in the Gospel accounts by the man of the Gergesenes possessed of the Girgashite "duo". In the Textus Receptus the word Gergasenos is found in the text of the Matthew account:
Matthew 8:28-32
28. And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, [GSN#1086 Gergesenos] there met him a duo daimonizomenoi, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What of us and you, Son of Elohim? are you come here to torment us before the appointed time?
30. And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
31. So the demons besought him, saying, If you cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
32. And he said unto them, Go! And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

Thus the seven heathen-nations of of Devarim 7:1 are not literal physical peoples in the doctrine of Yeshua but, rather, used for typological enemies: the enemies to your soul and to your doctrine, which are the demons and their doctrines. Therefore we are to show them no mercy as the Scripture says. We are to make no "covenants" or "marriages" with them, (this kind of marriage is like as in the days of Noah). If you do not "choke them out" then they will choke out the Seed of the Word from the soil of your own heart, like tares among the wheat, and eventually kill you:
Deuteronomy 7:1-6 KJV
1. When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, [HSN#1622 Girgashiy] and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2. And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3. Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

patrial from an unused name [of uncertain derivation];
a Girgashite, one of the native tribes of Canaan:
KJV--Girgashite, Girgasite.
And as before said; beware of the seventh, (for he is Legion). :chuckle:
Likely for the same reason the Acts 15 injunction places only the initial "necessary things" upon new convert-kid-goats who are just starting off "in the milk of the Word", (Yerushalaim of above is our mother, [covenant]). Not that I was saying anyone in particular is a kid-goat but for the sake of such as are.
