Bible Question:
gomar, Shelly, An excellent question and an interesting answer. Could either of you state why the word "earth" must be translated as "people"? Sam Hughey |
Bible Answer: Hi reformedreader, I notice that the King James, the NKJ and one of two Interlinear editions I own do not have this phrase "and a third of the earth was burned up". Go with one of those and you won't have to worry about it. But if the trees and the green grass burns up, I wouldn't hold up much hope for the people if they stay in that third. |
