Hi Dre91
There IS AN EXPLAINATION for the verses you have presented!
No one here can give it to you. It would break the rules!
The BEST for now, is to confirm that the verses you are needing to be explained, are part of the complete and TOTAL Revelation of Christ.
This might sound simple and obvious yet there is a mystery that Ray points out,
“When the Scriptures speak of Israel they speak of Jesus and when they speak of Jesus the speak OF US......."
for as Jesus is, so are we, in the world. 1 John 4: 17
Excerpt from Truth number 4 – TWELVE GOD-GIVEN TRUTHS TO UNDERSTAND HIS WORD. Ray lists the symbols. Here is a sample from that list.
candlesticks horses locusts beasts birds
animals dragons heads horns teeth
tails eyes mouths wings hair
feet hands foreheads odours books
gold seals crowns names cities
nations kings tongues Nicolaitans Antipas
Armageddon Balaam Balak Abaddon Apollyon
And even heaven and earth are used as symbols in this great book of symbols.Ref : LOF 1
Symbols make up OUR Spiritual Anatomy.
Ray expounds that :
“We are to have at least a second witness to establish a Scriptural truth or doctrine.” Truth number 6 from TWELVE GOD-GIVEN TRUTHS TO UNDERSTAND HIS WORD.
The purpose for comparing spiritual with spiritual is to FIND a spiritual match. There is A SPIRITUAL MATCH FOR EVERY SYMBOL IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. This is a powerful truth that will OPEN THE WHOLE BIBLE to us. (Caps mine for emphasis)It behooves us all to know what we're made of!
Your question dre91, gives direction and is not without merit.
No question is stupid or useless....Every question has an answer.
Blessings
