1 | The second coming of Jesus | Bible general Archive 2 | Reformer Joe | 95654 | ||
There is figurative language in Scripture. The Psalms and OT prophecy are full of it. For example, the Babylonian invasion and captivity is often explained using cosmic symbolism: "Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of hosts In the day of His burning anger." --Isaiah 13:13 I wouldn't ever argue that it is a free-for-all in determining whether something should be taken literally or not, but to say that there is no figurative language in Scripture is not precisely correct. --Joe! |

Joe: Not to disagree with you, but just to shed further light on this subject, I submit the following for the consideration of all: 'A common problem among interpreters of the Bible is that of "shifting gears". If a person approaches his interpretation of the Bible with, for example, a face value hermeneutic, then it is critical that he remain consistent with his approach. However, many often "flip flop" in their interpretation approach to maintain a preconceived understanding of a text. An example of this is the above. Preterists interpret "this generation" in the simple sense as meaning the generation concurrent with Christ and then suddenly "shift gears" and apply a figurative approach to arrive at a spiritualized understanding of the Rapture and the resurrection. That is an inconsistent hermeneutic and leads to error.' ____________________ (Did Jesus Already Return in AD 70? By Rev.
