Hi MbiaJc
Well what happen in those verse I quoted..................the earth is laid waste.
So is it your position that the Saints and Jesus rule a totally devastated Earth with no trees no fish in the oceans no fresh water and the Sun scorching men and crops.
Can you not see how wrong this is.
Hi Exodus
You have provided nothing but your opinion to show this as not what is stated. True there are lots of symbols in the OT ..But you need scriptural direction to go out of the Literal. We are not given this direction in Ezekiel 38 & 39.
For you to say no these are not actually countries and people it is a symbol is just your doctrine.
Hi bertie
The KJV is flawed translation in many areas. The Translators had a doctrine and that was part of the Translation.
I often use the RSV as it was translated by a group of scholars from many different faiths so no one Doctrine got to twist the translation to suit their doctrine.
Using Concordances can be helpful HOWEVER we must remember that what we see is not what the word meant to people at the time it was written but rather HOW the word was translated by the authors of the KJV bible. So we do not get a definitive meaning for the word we get a particular translators understanding of the Word.
