Bible Question: IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER ONE: I KNOW THIS IS ABOUT PROHPECY BUT CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT CHAPTER ONE MEANS AND WHAT IT IS TALKING ABOUT. I KNOW ALOT OF THINGS ARE SPOKEN IN PARABLES. HOW DO YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND PROHPECY. |
Bible Answer: Face Value Interpretation One of your questions is "HOW DO YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND PROHPECY"? In short, we apply the same principles of interpretation to prophecy that we do to the other portions of the Bible. "The text must be understood at face value." "In my opinion there is only one legitimate hermeneutic we can use if we seek to know the truth of God's Word. The text must be understood at face value, in its most natural, normal, customary sense, making allowances for obvious figures of speech, its context, and all the other passages of Scripture dealing with the same issue. When in doubt, let Scripture interpret Scripture! Once the common denominator is found that harmonizes all the passages, without contradiction, then we have truth, but not before. And once we have truth, that truth stands in judgment of us; never do we dare stand in judgment of it!" ("The RAPTURE QUESTION Answered: Plain and Simple" by Robert Van Kampen, Fleming H. Revell publishing, 1997.) Grace to you, kalos |
