Greetings dearest fellow Saints , in many instances of Scripture idioms , similes & parables are used , basically metaphors . ( Parable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
Many many learned believing folks pegged the parable of " the rich man and Lazarus." As rock solid , chiseled in granite truth , to their future chagrin .
So , is there a " rock solid , chiseled in granite truth " way to separate metaphors from Revelation TRUTH ? YES , as simple as Scripture knowledge . Follow the Masters Words .
Matthew 13:10 And the disciples having come near, said to him, `Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?'
11 And he answering said to them that -- `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given,
12 for whoever hath, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him.
13 `Because of this, in similes do I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand,
14 and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,
15 for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them.
16 `And happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear,
So , the story in question " the rich man and Lazarus." ? Preceeding & in the same discourse ;
Luke 16:14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,
15 and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, [is] abomination before God;
16 the law and the prophets [are] till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;
The " rich man & Lazarus " story starts three verses later V.19 without YAHshua taking a breath . So Saints , what say YOU ? Rock hard Revelation truth ? of a clouded metaphor ?
" Perhaps you should read the story of the rich man and Lazarus. " Ya , that's a great example !
Wake up! Everything Jesus spoke to the Pharisees was NOT parables.
