@Naomi25 Sounds almost conspiratorial! :) (though if the truth is known your sister probably feels that you originally - at least tacitly - encouraged her to have it done...)

@Naomi25 Interesting that the word 'unfolding' is used sometimes as a heading to the passage about the Incarnation in John chapter 1.... Kind of gives an idea of the great privilege of receiving revealed truth...

@Naomi25 Re. the word 'apocalyptic'; interesting that Revelation is sometimes called the Apocalypse...

PS: @Naomi25 Well, I'm sure her ink won't shock you, when you see it...right? :)

@Naomi25 I like your expression, piggy in the middle, anyway...

@Naomi25 I do find that some Reformed commentators do lean towards figurative interpretations a lot, generally speaking. (As for me, well, I'm dispensationalist...)
