Greetings Aaron! First of all, welcome to the forum. Secondly, this is a site where one can share treasures found in Scripture. The key phrase in the above sentence though is 'in Scripture.' Let's look at the context of Is. 4:1. It is in the context of a pronouncement of judgement upon Jerusalem and Judah. Is. 3:1 says, "See now, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: all supplies of food and all supplies of water, " The remainder of the chapther describes how bad the situation will be in Jerusalem and Judah because of God's judgement. The women would be mourning because their men would be dying in battle (Is. 3:25). The result would be that seven women would want to wed the same man because there would not be enough men to go around. Now, why would you want to allegorize this passage that makes perfect sense as it stands? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello Tim, I look at the bible in this way. Gal 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? Gal 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. Gal 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which engendereth to bondage, which is Hagar. Gal 4:25 For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Gal 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not; for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath a husband. Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the Scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. The scriptures are an allegory for our example and admonition. 1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. Love in Christ, Aaron |

Dear Aaron, I'd disagree with your statement, "The scriptures are an allegory for our example and admonition." First, what scripture explicitly tells us this? In other words, what is the BASIS for your position? One can look at anything a certain way- even the Bible. It doesn't mean it's the right way or correct! Second, the statement doesn't mesh well with Heb. 4:12: "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." If scripture is simply allegory, how do we know this to be true? Why wouldn't we take it a literal- like any other piece of literature- unless evidence dictates otherwise? It would be very helpful for your to share a bit more about yourself and exactly where you are coming from theologically. You are still far from being clear my friend! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
