The idea of Christ and the church being a light is not a dual fulfillment, because the Church is the body of Christ. Paul was in Jesus' name, meaning one with Christ. What is true of Christ is true of the church because they are one body. That is of a totally different nature than Solomon being son of David followed by Jesus as Son of David.
