AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:2 Beloved, we are [even here and] now children of God, and it is not yet made clear what we will be [after His coming]. We know that when He comes and is revealed, we will [as His children] be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is [in all His glory]. |
Subject: What would make this allogory? |
Bible Note: Hi John, Thanks for your clarification. I would agree with you that the Revelation 6:9-11 passage is literal. I do not see any reason within the text that would call for it to be understood any other way. And in regard to souls having faces. John said he "saw" "under the altar the souls." So without doubt souls can be seen - that is if John was telling the truth and I of course believe that he was. In the next verse 10 John said "they cried with a loud voice, saying,..." Well since humans on earth speak through their mouth on their face and since these were souls of humans who had died for the Lord then I see no reason why they would not have had faces. I mean after all where else would their mouth be? On their feet? On their legs? On their arms? Most likely their mouth would have been on their face! Wouldn't you agree? |
