AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 8:7 ¶ The first [angel] sounded [his trumpet], and there was [a storm of] hail and fire, mixed with blood, and it was hurled to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. [Ex 9:13-35] |
Subject: The number one third? |
Bible Note: Ray, I greatly appreciate your response to an old question that remained unanswered by those who raised the idea. However, I feel as though the question is still not answered. This cannot be resolved by just simply adjourning to a favorite translation for you must remember these translations did not exist prior to 1600. So, what would you have recommended had you lived prior to 1600? If taken literally, this event would leave absolutely no grass anywhere on the entire planet. And if we take this literally, we must also assume real hail, fire and "blood" will fall from the skies? I find great, great difficulty in believing all the fire departments in the world could put out a fire that consumed one third of all the trees and one third of the entire planet as well as all the grass on the entire planet.
