YES, Revelation has symbolism and literal Truth.Lol....Revelation is loaded with symbolism.
if you are not reading the NT-KJV in conjunction with the Textus Receptus Greek text, then the reference scriptures I included, in support of it, means nothing to you?
I condensed what I said. But I can get many more for support from the OT prophets.
When you interpret and expound upon your future wanna be Pre-millennium, I can fault you on the same charge, for referencing only the OT scriptures, which for your explanation, you would also be churning literal truth.
Paul said in 1 Cor. 2
[12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
The KEY is to 'Know' the difference and how and why and to what they are applicable.
The Person who holds the KEY is the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth.
FYI = the Holy Spirit will never confuse, mislead or go against = "It is written"..........
Therefore, there are no contradictions in the Word. Ant contradictions come from men who seek to bypass or 'adjust' Scripture by mishandling the words of God.
In response and Fore-Sight of this, God has spoken and we all need to bow the knee and heed His Voice:
Every word of God is flawless;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words,
lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar. - Proverbs 30:5-6
I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book.
Revelation 22:18-19
