NASB | 1 Corinthians 15:28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:28 However, when all things are subjected to Him (Christ), then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One (the Father) who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [manifesting His glory without any opposition, the supreme indwelling and controlling factor of life]. |
Subject: Don't understand Revelation and 1 Cor 15 |
Bible Note: There is no one in the world who takes every word of the Bible literally (no one that I know of thinks that Nebuchadnezzar was a tree). The only question is how we are to decide on what is literal and what is not. Now when we come to Revelation it is particularly difficult as it is a book of 'signs'. John 'signified' things through signs. The four horsemen of Revelation 6 are not literal, although the devastation that followed was. Thus we have to weigh each chapter up and consider what is literal and what is not. In Revelation 13 it is not really talking about a beast which will arise out of the waters. We have to interpret who the Beast is and what the waters represent. So especially at the commencement of each chapter we may expect symbolism. And so I could go on. Or perhaps you do expect a dragon to come from the sea? It is not for me to say what you believe. Best wishes. |
