Rev 9:3-6
(3) And there came out of the
smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power,
as the scorpions of the earth have power.
(4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the
grass of the earth, neither
any green thing, neither
any tree; but
only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
(5) And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and
their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
(6) And in those days shall
men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Is it God's purpose that the above verses should be understood LITERALLY?
Rev 11:3-5
(3) And I will give
power unto my two witnesses, and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
(4) These are the
two olive trees, and the
two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
(5) And
if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and
devoureth their enemies: and
if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Is it God's purpose that the above verses should be understood LITERALLY?
Let hear your understanding of these verses and I can prove you why God does not see those as literal fulfillment.
