Scripture is not meant to be interpreted. It is meant to be believed.
Scripture was written in Hebrew and Greek. At a minimum, someone has to translate it before we can understand it. Translation involves interpretation.
Also if you read the many encounters people have with a NDE and the *Spiritual World* they never say they were experiencing a *Dream like State* it is like they are released maybe through a *Portal* I don’t exactly know but the Brain and Soul are tied together, and one is released upon physical death (Soul) to what prevents us in reaching when our Brain is functioning in our physical life.
I believe this: “a time, and times, and half a time”
Do you know how long that is?
