Bible Note: Hi Cheri, Yes, I'm not sure what you mean, but I think I do, and I think you're right about it referring to something physical, or at least literal, only that John says it in an allegorical (figure of speech) way. He is really, (I think) :-) talking about something quite literal /(physical), in most of Revelation, only He does it in a allegorical (figure of speech) way of righting. But most I hope should really know that, and I'm sure you already do. I guess, maybe, what might throw us off here is, the timing thing, I don't see where it's necessary to equate it to the there and then, which, of corse would be, John's here and now at the time he was writing it. Anyway, I hope I haven't just confused you even more! :-) And it just may be, that we are both confused on this one! :-) And anyway, just my two cents Sis. :-) Maybe, it's another one of those, you don't need to know, Duet 29:29 verses? God bless John p.s. Boy! Talk about being noncommittal! :-) |
