--- Quote from: mmijares on December 13, 2009, 05:18:46 PM ---I, myself, like Gallenwalsh, is a bit concern of what some of the verses in Revelation mean.  When we say that everything in Revelation is not to be taken literally, does this mean that Christ's second coming is also not literal, i.e. He will not come in bodily form and appear to us the second time?

Christ's second coming
 REV 22:16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

the bright Morning Star? what's that ? that's must be sun! WHY? from other planet,the sun also looks like Star.

literal and parabolical

Kat and others,

Ray wrote, "Everything written in Revelation is true, but most is not literally true."
Meaning, some are literally true.

So, as Gallenwash previously asked, "How does one make distinctions between what is literal and what is figurative in the book of revelation?"

All the signs & symbols written in Revelation have a higher, spiritual meaning. But 'Jesus Christ' written in Revelation literally means 'Jesus Christ'...not someone or something else. One understands the symbolism in Revelation by going to the OT and finding the 'shadow' or 'type' (and some parts of the NT, but mostly OT).

Stay reading the Word and continue reading Ray's teachings (on the BT website & forum)...the Lord will begin to open up more of your understanding. It just takes time, He's not going to give you more than you can bear [John 16:12].

Thank you Marques.

Sometimes, in this busy world, I thought I can always go thru the shortcut and understand everything in an instant.
Spiritual matters are entirely different.  You are right.  The Lord Jesus is right.
