Subject: Why two dreams instead of one? |
Bible Note: Tim, Scripture does say exactly WHY Pharaoh had two dreams of the same event. “The fact that the dream was sent twice to Pharaoh in two forms MEANS that the matter is absolutely settled by God, and that God will soon bring it about.” (Gen 41:32 The Bible - An American Translation). Concerning your respectful disagreement with me, I appreciate what you stated, however :) You see the differences AS differences. I see them as the same things, much like the “differences” with the cows and the grain WERE the same thing. May I suggest “an assignment”, as I read you did once? In effect, you suggested someone who pointed out the “differences” in Jesus’ resurrection to look at the four gospels as one. You even went the extra mile and painted the word picture for the world to see “how” they are NOT different, but complete. The sea isn’t going to turn to blood twice, is it? Rev 8:9 says the second trumpet sounded and one third of the SEA turned to BLOOD. Rev 16:3 says the second vial was emptied his vial upon the SEA and it turned into BLOOD. There isn’t going to be TWO “finishes” are there? The seven trumpet sounds (Rev 10:7) and “it is finished” The seventh vial is poured out with “it is all over” (Rev 16:17) Tim, if you did the same thing with the trumpets against the vials and the seals against the “angels” – you will conclude that ONLY differences are from two “viewpoints” of the same event, much like your example of the resurrection. God “set the example” in Genesis about parallels to “help” us better understand Revelations. Respectfully, Taleb |
