1 | Can one pray after his/her death? | 1 John 3:2 | stjohn | 214084 | ||
Hi Cheri.. Good to see you here sis! :-) Good call, Cheri, but I still don't see a definite answer for the question because though it does look like it, we really don't know for sure that the seen in revelation is allegory or a real literal event. There is some disagreement about this among scholars as well as the story about the rich man. Some say it's a parable and some say it's a real story about a real man. I'm not sure enough to say one way or another. John |

Hi John, Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. What would make this account of what John said he saw allegory? |

Dear Bibleman, Welcome to the forum. Its is a custom here to mark a followup question to someone as a note so that it leaves the front page for original questions. I am thinking John may be preparing for Sunday service and will get back to you. Let me add if I may that the type of interpretations of the prohecy passages such as Revelation and Daniel as well as other verses from other books can be found at Preceptaustin.org. Just search for Revelation 20 and it will give you an explanation as to why allegory is used in interpretation of this passage. There are I believe three or four different methods used to interpret prophecy and it gives a list of the commentators and their preferred method. Let us all agree to disagree with gentleness and respect. I believe our brother John was just saying this passage is a difficult passage to interpret and that many well studied respected scholars differ on their interpretive views therefore it is not unusual for us to disagree on such passages. Sincerely, Val | ||||||
