Susan, hello back and thank you. :) I am feeling chirpier today. Off now to do a bit more on the Revelation study. :)

You are very welcome Pawz,
If you have any questions from/about the articles please toss them out here, there are quite a few folks willing and able to lend a hand and give an insight.
His Peace to you,
Joe

Will do Joe. I have just finished going more carefully through part 1 of LofF and am now mulling it over, pondering, seeing where it fits, see where I have to adapt and modify my views, what it then infers for other parts of my understanding, etc.
Have to say, have no great problems so far. One teensy criticism in that I would have thought it would be better to get the meaning of the verb for 'signify' direct from the Greek sources (same word in Alexandrian, majority texts and Textus Receptus), and see how the word is used in other places in scripture, rather than to use even such a respected book as Websters (or any other) to define its meaning - but overall I have to say 'yes Ray, I agree with you ( and how can I not) that the book of Revelation IS a book of symbols, and that it is 'crooked thinking' to assign symbolism and figure to one part and insist on literalcy (is that a real word or did I just invent it?) in another.'
:)

Literalcy? ???
Works for me Pawz! ;D
Peace,
Joe
pawz:
thanks Joe. :) Had to go out and fetch a poorly computer back tonight, and will be working on it from tomorrow, so won't be able to get my teeth into much more of Ray's writings for a bit, but when I do come back on here I will start a new thread as this one is getting a bit long. Night-night all (yawn) :)
