1 | The number one third? | Rev 8:7 | reformedreader | 3856 | ||
gomar, Shelly, An excellent question and an interesting answer. Could either of you state why the word "earth" must be translated as "people"? Sam Hughey |

2 | The number one third? | Rev 8:7 | Ray | 6145 | ||
Hi reformedreader, I notice that the King James, the NKJ and one of two Interlinear editions I own do not have this phrase "and a third of the earth was burned up". Go with one of those and you won't have to worry about it. But if the trees and the green grass burns up, I wouldn't hold up much hope for the people if they stay in that third. | ||||||
3 | The number one third? | Rev 8:7 | reformedreader | 6269 | ||
Ray, I greatly appreciate your response to an old question that remained unanswered by those who raised the idea. However, I feel as though the question is still not answered. This cannot be resolved by just simply adjourning to a favorite translation for you must remember these translations did not exist prior to 1600. So, what would you have recommended had you lived prior to 1600? If taken literally, this event would leave absolutely no grass anywhere on the entire planet. And if we take this literally, we must also assume real hail, fire and "blood" will fall from the skies? I find great, great difficulty in believing all the fire departments in the world could put out a fire that consumed one third of all the trees and one third of the entire planet as well as all the grass on the entire planet.
