A prophecy with a dual application means that the first application is usually only a partial fulfillment and the second the complete one - or fulfilled in two cases - eg. The nation of Israel going into Egypt, then Jesus going into Egypt:

Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

There is no way you can have some symbolical fulfillment then later some literal fulfillment. If prophecy is not fulfilled literally, then it is not fulfilled.
