Great observation.
The best way to find the truth is to keep things literal in our Bible reading as much as possible.
Notice that folks are obsessed with "spiritualizing" verses and love to apply mass commentary to the verses.
That is always fishy to me....kinda like a salesperson that won't get off the phone(I just hang up).
No problem with categorizing things to an extent though.
The Bible is not a literal book in fact and non of the books within are purely literal at all, if they were literal any damned fool Atheist could understand it all.
It takes Spiritual concernment to understand the Bible, or one is totally lost.
When I ask an Atheist about the Bible, the ones who have read it will say it's all BS written by cunning men ect. that's because they have not the Holy Spirit in fact.
One must have the Holy Spirit to understand each Book and each book has it's place within as they all fit in to place, like a master peace united in all, the OT is the Blueprint of the NT, they all line up and fits together. if you want to test the NT just look to the OT and if it's out of line with it, the Holy Spirit will guide one if it's out of line.
I have never seen the workings of man get it right ever, the Devil and his deluded dogs have created WW1 and WW2 to get back the Land to play this game to rule over all people like a mongrel dog that it is, how many people were killed in all in this plan and anyone who supports it has their blood on their hands !
Why would God bring back a un repentant Anti-Christ Nation ?
Why would anyone call such a State Israel, only a Satanist would claim such blasphemy ! all such people are condemned ! even the truly devout Jews agree and know that fact ! and not to mention that any truly worthy Christian knows that Jesus Christ is the King of Israel and that there is no Jew or Gentile under Christianity in fact.
But due to great delusions fools can no see the facts. for they do not know Jesus is the Christ in fact, they prove this by their works ! because they are not truly born again, because only such as the born again only serve Jesus Christ. and do not serve mans nonsense of some Anti-Christ poor bastard damned so called Jew, even the devout Jews missed the boat 2000 years ago for crying out loud.
The OT is the only thing that the Jews have to offer, and we Christians have it all. everything that we need, we need not seek any further then the Holy Bible under the Holy Spirit to guide us all, but for the devil and his mob who insist on idolising so called Jews who have nothing to offer at all.
