Bible Question (short): Literal or Symbolic? |
Question (full): The following is a small sampling of the consistent fate of the nations prophesied in the Bible. This indicates that, while some of the language may be symbolic, their destruction is no less literal! Dan 2:44: "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever." 1 Cor 15:24: "Then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power." Rev 16:14,16: "hey are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon." People can deny this at their own risk. |
