I Want To Correct A Few Century Old Biblical Mis-interpretations by Nobody: 1:20pm On Mar 17, 2013
I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT NOT EVEN ONLY AROUND 70 PERCENT OF BIBLICAL VERSES ARE SYMBOLIC, IT SEEMS LIKE OVER 90 PERCENT IS SYMBOLIC. LETS CRACK A FEW NUTS

1- DEUTERONOMY 21 VS 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. THIS IS A VERSE ABOUT HAVING A REBELLIOUS SON STONED TO DEATH BY THE ELDERS OF THE CITY. NOW THIS SOUNDS BARBARIC. HAVING YOUR SON STONED TO DEATH BECAUSE HE IS BEING STIFF NECKED AND REBELLIOUS. WELL THE LITERAL INTERPRETATION IS BARBARIC HOWEVER THIS IS THE REAL MEANING. STONES ARE WORDS. WHEN THE ELDERS STONE HIM, THEY ARE SCOLDING HIM AND THEN WHEN HE DIES, HE DIES TO HIS REBELLIOUS WAYS. SO THIS VERSE MEANS HE WILL BE SCOLDED UNTIL HE CHANGES. UNTIL HE DIES TO HIS OLD WAYS.

2-THE LORD WANTED A BLOOD SACRIFICE FROM CAIN AND ABEL BUT CAIN BROUGHT A FRUIT SACRIFICE INSTEAD OF A BLOOD SACRIFICE. NOW THIS IS ANOTHER OFTEN MISINTERPRETED VERSE. WHAT IS BLOOD SACRIFICE ? IF YOU STUDY THE BOOK OF REVELATION CHAPTER 8 WHEN SCRIPTURE SAYS A MOUNTAIN OF FIRE CAME HURTLING DOWN TOWARDS THE SEAS AND THE SEAS TURNED RED, IT MEANS A COUNTRY CAME AND TOOK OVER AND SPREAD THEIR DOCTRINES AND PHILOSOPHIES AND WHATEVER DOCTRINE OR PHILOSOPHY THAT EXISTED BEFORE WAS KILLED. THE SEA WAS TURNED RED MEANS THE PEOPLE DIED TO THEIR OLD DOCTRINE. FOR EXAMPLE THE SEAS IN NIGERIA WAS TURNED RED WHEN THE WESTERN WORLD TOOK OVER. MEANING OUR OLD WAYS WAS KILLED AND NOW WE GO VOTING AT THE POLLS LIKE THE WESTERNERS DO. SO BACK TO THE VERSE, IT MEANS THE LORD WANTS A BLOOD SACRIFICE MEANING HE WANTS YOU TO KILL YOUR OLD SELF. HOWEVER CAIN OFFERED A FRUIT SACRIFICE MEANING HE DECIDED NOT TO KILL HIS OLD SELF BUT TO GO INTO OTHER DOCTRINES ( FRUIT AS REPRESENTED IN EVE EATING THE FRUIT, MEANS DABBLING IN OTHER DOCTRINES THAT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD. SPIRITUAL FORNICATION ). SO BASICALLY ABEL KILLED HIS OLD SELF AND TOOK ON THE WORD OF GOD WHILE CAIN VEERED INTO ANOTHER PHILOSOPHY AND REJECTED THE WORD. THATS WHAT THAT MEANS

3-LET ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE FOR THE DAY SO YOU DONT GET INUNDATED WITH TOO MUCH MEAT. NOW THE STORY OF NOAHS FLOOD. THE WATER USED IN THE FLOOD IS SYMBOLIC WATER AND NOT ACTUAL WATER. WATER MEANS DOCTRINES AND PHILOSOPHIES. SO THE WORLD GETTING FLOODED BY WATER IS BASICALLY SIGNALLING THE ERA OF MAN RULING HIMSELF ON EARTH AND THE ANCIENT BABYLONIAN EMPIRE WAS UPLIFTED AND THIS EMPIRE FLOODED THE WORLD WITH WATER. FLOODED THE WORLD WITH NEW DOCTRINE AND WASHED AWAY THE LORDS DOCTRINE FROM THE EARTH EXCEPT THE ELECT WHOM THE LORD HAD SEALED. THE ELECT IS REPRESENTED BY THE NAME NOAH. SO EVERYONE ELSE WHO WAS NOT THE ELECT GOT WASHED AWAY BY BABYLONIAN DOCTRINE. THIS IS THE FLOOD. TO GET BETTER UNDERSTANDING READ REVELATION CHAPTER 8, 2 PETER CHAPTER 3, GENESIS CHAPTER 10 AND ZEHARIAH CHAPTER 5. THE FLOOD IS A FLOOD OF WICKEDNESS. A NEW TYPE OF DOCTRINE ORIGINATED BY MAN. SO WHEN PEOPLE WONDER WHY THE EARTH DID NOT GET BETTER AFTER THE LORD SUPPOSEDLY WIPED OUT WICKEDNESS FROM THE WORLD, YOU HAVE IT BACKWARDS. THE FLOOD WAS SO THAT WICKEDNESS CAN BE ESTABLISHED IN THE WORLD. THE FLOOD IS THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ERA OF THE GENTILES. THE FLOOD BEGAN IN THE LAND OF SHINAR ( ANCIENT BABYLON ) UNDER NIMROD.

THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS CONTROVERSIAL BROS. IT WOULDNT BE THE TRUTH IF IT WASNT wink

LET ME USE THIS POST TO MAKE ANOTHER POINT TO EVERYONE SO I DONT OPEN ANOTHER UNNECESSARY POST. TO ALMOST EVERY BIBLE VERSE THERE IS A DEEPER MEANING. THIS HOLDS TRUE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE READING PROPHETIC BOOKS LIKE REVELATION, DANIEL, ZECHARIAH, 2 PETER, GENESIS. THESE 5 BOOKS MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU READ THEM, EVERYTHING YOU READ HAS A MUCH DEEPER MEANING THAN IT APPEARS. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE BOOK OF REVELATION 8 VS 10-11 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
NOW I HAVE SEEN MANY SO CALLED THEOLOGIANS ACTUALLY INTERPRET THIS LITERALLY. I AM YET TO MEET ONE PERSON WHO HAS INTERPRETED THAT CORRECTLY. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE FACT THAT YOU CANT BE READING THE BIBLE LITERALLY, ESPECIALLY THE PROPHETIC BOOKS. NOW LETS BREAK DOWN THESE TWO VERSES. WHAT ARE THESE TWO VERSES TALKING ABOUT ? THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GENTILE ERA ON EARTH STARTING WITH THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE AND HOW THE BABYLONIAN DOCTRINE CORRUPTED THE WORLD AND EVERYONE GOT SWEPT AWAY BY IT ( EXAMPLES OF BABYLONIAN DOCTRINE IS EASTER WHICH IS THE WORSHIP OF THE gODDES ISHTA AND XMAS ON DEC 25TH WHICH IS NIMRODS BIRTHDAY AND EASTER EGGS WHICH IS WORSHIPPING THE FERTILITY gODDESS ETC ETC ). SO LETS BREAK DOWN THE VERSES. A GREAT STAR FROM HEAVEN FELL UPON THE THIRD PART OF THE RIVERS AND UPON THE FOUNTAINS OF WATERS. SO WHAT IS RIVERS AND FOUNTAINS OF WATERS ? THESE ARE KNOWLEDGE AND PHILOSOPHIES AND DOCTRINES. THATS WHAT WATERS AND RIVERS IS. SO WHY DOES IT SAY THE THIRD PART ? BECAUSE THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF MEN CREATED. SONS OF GOD WHICH IS ISRAEL. SONS OF MEN WHICH IS ALL THE OTHER NATIONS AND THEN SONS OF THE WICKED WHICH ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF CAIN. NOW AT THIS POINT IN TIME THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF THE WORLD WERE THE SONS OF GOD, THE ISRAELITES. HOWEVER THE LORD HAS SEALED THE ONES AMONGST THEM WHO OBEYED HIM AND IS READY TO GIVE THE WORLD TO THE SONS OF MEN WHICH IS THE GENTILE ERA BEING ESTABLISHED STARTING WITH ANCIENT BABYLONIAN EMPIRE. SO THE STAR FALLING ON THE THIRD PART OF THE WATERS AND RIVERS MEANS IT FELL ON THE DOCTRINE OF ISRAEL WHICH IS THE SCRIPTURES. AND THE STAR FROM HEAVEN IS THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE. AND THE DOCTRINE OF ISRAEL GOT KILLED AND OVERRIDEN AND USURPED BY BABYLONIAN DOCTRINE. THE BABYLONIAN DOCTRINE IS CALLED WORMWOOD BECAUSE IT MAKES THE WORLD BITTER BECAUSE IT IS NOT OFF GOD. AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE HERB WORMWOOD IT TASTES BITTER. SO WHEN IT SAYS AND EVERYONE TURNED BITTER, THAT MEANS EVERYONE EXCEPT THE ELECT, DRANK IT. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DRINK IT FOR YOU TO TURN BITTER. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ? IT MEANS YOU HAVE IMBIBED THE BABYLONIAN DOCTRINE AND HAVE CAST OFF THE WAYS OF GOD. YOU HAVE DIED. MEANING YOU DIED TO WHAT YOU WERE. YOU WERE KILLED. MEANING YOUR OLD SELF WAS KILLED. YOU ARE NOW A FULL FLEDGED MEMBER OF THE BABYLONIAN DOCTRINE. THIS IS HOW THE ERA OF WICKEDNESS WAS ESTABLISHED. WHATEVER EMPIRE TAKES OVER, THE PEOPLE TAKE ON THE DOCTRINES AND PHILOSOPHIES OF THAT EMPIRE. THEY GET KILLED. THEY DIE TO WHAT THEY WERE. THIS WILL CONTINUE ON FROM BABYLONIAN TO MEDIOPERSIAN TO GREEK TO ROMAN TO EUROZONE AND THEN THE FINAL EMPIRE AMERICA. LOOK ALL AROUND YOU ? EVERYONE IS KNEE DEEP IN THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE. AND THATS THE DEEPER INTERPRETATION OF THOSE TWO VERSES

HEY BROS TRUST ALL IS WELL. THE LITERAL EXPERIENCE DID NOT TAKE PLACE. ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN GENESIS IS SYMBOLIC SPEECH. ACTUAL HUMANS DID NOT GET DESTROYED IN A FLOOD. HOWEVER THERE KNOWLEDGE AND DOCTRINE GOT FLOODED AND DESTROYED BY BABYLONIAN DOCTRINE. THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE IS A HAMITE EMPIRE. THIS IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURES REFER TO UNCOVERING NOAHS NAK-EDNESS. HAM ( BABYLONIAN EMPIRE ) UNCOVERED NOAHS ( THE ISRAELITES ) NAK-EDNESS BY PLYING HIM WITH BABYLONIAN DOCTRINES AND PHILOSOPHIES AND KILLING THEM ( KILLING THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN THEM ) AND MAKING THEM REPROBATE MEN WHO WERE ONCE MEN OF GOD. NOW THEY BECAME IDOL WORSHIPPERS. THATS UNCOVERING THEIR NAK-ED-NESS. REMOVING THEIR DIGNITY AS MEN OF GOD AND DEGRADING THEM TO IDOL WORSHIPPERS. THIS IS WHY HAM WAS CURSED. THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE IS A HAMITE EMPIRE.

LMAO. NO PROBS BROS. I AM TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH OF THE POINTS TO BRING OUT BECAUSE MOST OF THE STUFF I HAVE IS BREAKDOWN OF PROPHETIC BOOKS. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH, REVELATION DANIEL AND 2 PETER WHAT I SAY MAY NOT MAKE SENSE. HOWEVER WITH REFERENCE TO BASIC SCRIPTURE LIKE ADAM AND EVE, CAIN AND ABEL, ESAU AND JACOB, NOAHS FLOOD, THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH TO BE CORRECTED. BUT IF YOU WANT TO GET DEEPER INTO UNLOCKING PROPHETIC SCRIPTURES THEN I CAN SUPPLY YOU ENDLESS BREAKDOWNS. HOWEVER JUST ANOTHER SIDE NOTE. THESE 3 ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME NATION OF PEOPLE ( ADAM AND ABEL AND ISRAEL ) WHILE THESE THREE ARE THE SAME NATION ( THE SERPENT, CAIN AND ESAU ). THEY ARE PROGRESSIVE STORIES AND THE CHARACTERS REINCARNATE INTO DIFFERENT NAMES TILL WE GET TO THE MAIN PART OF THE BIBLE WHICH IS STRICTLY ABOUT ISRAEL.

ALSO WHEN IT SAYS CAIN KILLED ABEL, IT MEANS CAIN CORRUPTED ABEL WITH HIS DOCTRINES AND PHILOSOPHIES AND KILLED THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN HIM. IS NOT AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL KILLING. THEY ARE BOTH NATIONS OF PEOPLE NOT ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS. ABEL IS THE NATION THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME ISRAEL WHILE CAIN WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME ESAU OR EDOM.
Re: I Want To Correct A Few Century Old Biblical Mis-interpretations by Nobody: 10:05pm On Mar 17, 2013
AND THIS I HAVE SAID IN PAST WEEKS. ADAM IS NOT A MAN. ADAM IS THE NAME OF A NATION OF PEOPLE. THE BIBLE USES SINGLE NAMES TO REPRESENT NATIONS OF PEOPLE. THE BIBLE IS NOT A STORY ABOUT A PERSONS FAMILY HISTORY. IT IS THE FAMILY HISTORY OF THE WHOLE WORLD SO NATIONS ARE COMPACTED INTO SINGULAR PEOPLES TO MAKE THE STORY EASILY TOLD

GENESIS 5 VS 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. <<< PONDER ON THAT VERSE. DONT READ IT FLIPPANTLY

I have on several occasions. 'For two, they say, shall become one flesh". Adam said Eve was "the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh". Eve was made out of Adam, so they were one. That is why HE called THEM Adam.

YOU DO ERR HUN. OK IF YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE BIBLE YOU WOULD BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PHRASE ' BEASTS OF THE EARTH' AND 'FOWLS OF HEAVEN'. WHAT THIS MEANS IS FOLLOWERS AND RULERS. WHEN IT SAYS BEASTS OF THE EARTH THESE ARE FOLLOWERS. THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN ARE THE LEADERS. FOR EXAMPLE IN NIGERIA THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN ARE IN ASO ROCK WHILE THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH ARE THE PEON MASSES. THIS IS BIBLICAL WAY OF REFERING TO RULERS AND FOLLOWERS. NOW THE FOLLOWERS HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE IN GENESIS 1 VS 25. THESE WERE MADE WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD WHICH IS THE SPIRIT OF RIGHT FROM WRONG. THESE ARE LIKE EMPTY SHELLS WAITING TO BE CIVILIZED BY THE MAN MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD WHICH WOULD BE THE LEADER MADE WITH KNOWLEDGE. THESE GROUP OF MEN ARE CALLED ADAM WHICH THEY LATER GO ON TO BE CALLED ISRAEL. THESE ARE THE SONS OF GOD MADE IN GODS IMAGE. THESE MEN WERE MADE IN GENESIS 1 VS 26. SO NOW WE HAVE THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD AND THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN MADE. THESE BEASTS OF THE FIELD ARE THE ONES WHO LATER GOT INTO THEIR OWN DOCTRINES AND TEMPTED THE WOMAN. THESE ARE THE DECIEVERS. THE SERPENT. ANYWAY SO THE LORD WANTED THE 'FOWLS OF HEAVEN' TO HAVE WOMEN WHO WERE LIKE THEM WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL BECAUSE THE OTHER WOMEN WERE HEATHENS WITH NO KNOWLEDGE SO HE MADE WOMEN TO SUIT THE MEN AND CALLED THEM EVE. IT IS THESE WOMEN WHO GOT TEMPTED BY THE MEN WHO WERE MADE HEATHENS INTO GOING INTO OTHER PHILOSOPHIES AND DOCTRINES. THESE MEN LATER REINCARNATED TO BE CALLED CAIN IN THE BIBLE WHILE THE ADAM MADE IN GODS IMAGE REINCARNATED INTO ABEL. AND THEN FURTHER DOWN THE LINE ABEL IS CALLED ISRAEL AND CAIN IS CALLED ESAU. YOU NEED SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE TO UNDERSTAND SCRIPTURES

NOT EVERY WORD IN THE BIBLE IS WHAT IT IS. THE BIBLE IS NOT WRITTEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY THE WHOLE WORLD. I WILL GIVE YOU FIVE WORDS THAT ARE NOT WHAT THEY MEAN IN THE BIBLE AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF WORDS IN THE BIBLE ARE NOT WHAT THEY ARE

SUN- WISDOM
MOON- UNDERSTANDING
MOUNTAIN - COUNTRY
TREES- MEN
HORN- STRENGTH
SEAS- MASSES OF PEOPLE
BLOOD - KILLED

NOW I CAN GO ON FOREVER. NOW FOR EXAMPLE LETS SEE WHERE ONE OF THESE IS USED

JOEL 2 VS 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD comes.

NOW WHAT THAT VERSE MEANS IS THAT THE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING IN THE WORLD WILL BE KILLED BEFORE THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD. I AM SURE YOU CAN SEE THAT ALL AROUND YOU TODAY. THE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE HAS VANISHED. EVERYONE IS ACTING THE FOOL. LEADERS DONT KNOW HOW TO RUN COUNTRIES ANYMORE ALL THEY DO IS LOOT OR START WARS. THE MUSIC IS NOW GARBAGE.

@ Obadiah777,

You're my good friend and brother but YOU ARE TEACHING RUBBISH since the beginning of this thread and I don't have time for this your thread yet. When I do have time, I will return here in peace. But for the sake of those who're reading this thread, let's put your 'interpretation' to a test if it fits 'sound doctrine':

obadiah777:

SUN- MEANS WISDOM
MOON- MEANS UNDERSTANDING
MOUNTAIN - MEANS COUNTRY
TREES- MEAN MEN
HORN- MEANS STRENGTH
SEAS- MEANS MASSES OF PEOPLE
BLOOD - MEANS KILLED

NOW I CAN GO ON FOREVER. NOW FOR EXAMPLE LETS SEE WHERE ONE OF THESE IS USED

JOEL 2 VS 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD comes.


Now, a simple test. How did you arrived at the interpretation from the verse you quoted that, SUN = WISDOM and MOON = UNDERSTANDING.......or perhaps that MOUNTAIN = COUNTRY; TREES- MEAN MEN; HORN- MEANS STRENGTH; SEAS- MEANS MASSES OF PEOPLE and BLOOD - MEANS KILLED

You will need to reference another TEXT that gives the parallel 'interpretation' otherwise, you are doing PRIVATE INTERPRETATION (using your OWN words of man's wisdom and infusing\inserting it into God's word) OR SPIRITUALIZING THE TEXT. This is different from when the text is being used as a metaphor and even scriptural text that are being used as metaphors are still being unloosed (interpreted) by another TEXT.

You're saying CONTRARY TO THE EXACT things scriptures talks about for the last days or end times saying,
obadiah777:

Now, take a look at this,

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12:4


How do you explain Daniel that says knowledge shall increase with your statement above And it is also evidence that great knowledge is fast increasing today.

Adekdammy: sir, bible is beyond logic, i know u are versed but lets see beyond d logus and go for d rhema, atleast we are all striving to making heaven sir. May God not let us miss it while interpreting his words amen
BROS CHECK THE LINK ABOVE AND THEN GOOGLE FOR THE REST OF THE SYMBOLIC MEANING OF BIBLICAL WORDS. SCRIPTURE SAYS OFFER DILIGENCE TO MAKE YOUR ELECTION AND CALLING CERTAIN. SO YOU HAVE TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. YOU HAVE TO RESEARCH. GET WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN READ HEBREW. ONLY THEN WILL YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE SYMBOLISM. YOU NEED HELP. NOBODY UNDERSTANDS THE BIBLE ALONE. YOU NEED PEOPLE WHO SPEAK GREEK AND HEBREW TO READ THE ORIGINAL BIBLES. SEE SOME WORDS DO NOT CONVERT CORRECTLY FROM HEBREW TO ENGLISH.

Goshen360:

You still HAVEN'T answered his question, DOES LEVITICUS 17:11 SAYS GOD COMMANDED CAIN TO PERFORM BLOOD SACRIFICE OR IS LEVITICUS WRITTEN BEFORE GENESIS?
YOU ERR NOT KNOWING SCRIPTURES. SCRIPTURES WAS WRITTEN END FROM BEGINNING. ISAIAH 46 VS 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: <<< YES LEVITICUS WAS WRITTEN BEFORE GENESIS TECHNICALLY BECAUSE THE LAWS WERE ESTABLISHED BEFORE HE MADE MAN

If 'horn' means something.....what is the text that tells us what that meaning is. I can also come up and claim the Holy Spirit tells me 'horn' means this\that without having any text to support it. Listen friend, every biblical 'imagery' has TEXT to prove the meaning. If you can't point us to a TEXT that tells us the meaning of what you're saying, THAT IS PRIVATE INTERPRETATION....and NO SCRIPTURE is of PRIVATE INTERPRETATION (2 Peter 1:20).
