Is Mystery Babylon literal or just metaphoric?

[RileyG]

No she is riding a scarlet beast not a dragon. I will give that it uses symbols to reveal truths. However, Daniel's prophecies were also revealed in the same manner and each had a specific thing that it related to. All I am saying is that each of these beings such as the harlot; anti-christ; false prophet etc. have not yet been. They are future events not things that have past.

You knew what I meant. Revelation is highly symbolic.

 

[Belteshazzar(Daniel)]

It tells of the rise and fall of systems and societies, for the most part, etc...

Which also is a tale of the spirits behind them, or in charge of them, as well, etc...

Why it is so steeped in symbolism and is written the way it is, etc...

Because it was mainly addressed to those angels mainly, etc...

Who "more than understood it", etc...

God Bless!

It was not meant for man to understand? Why would God tell us to study it and attach a bessing to it if we could not comprehend it?

There might be a blessing attached to it if we can't comprehend it maybe, I don't know about that...?

You thinking something about "ignorance being bliss", or something like that maybe...?

God Bless!
