Not like you guys think...For you, the entire book of Revelation is a metaphor...
Aside from the historical accounts, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, ALL the minor prophets, Psalms and most of the rest of the books are a metaphor to you guys...
You are bound and determined to 'bring in the Kingdom' FOR Jesus so you have to try to eliminate any reference to a future kingdom that is plastered all over the Bible...
The book I read says Holy Bible on the cover...I suspect yours says 'Holy Metaphor'...
“For you, the entire book of Revelation is a metaphor...”
In fact, that’s not true at all.
For example, unlike dispensationalism, preterism does not spiritualize literal words such as “near” to mean “2,000 years from now.”
Preterism takes the temple literally and does not create a futuristic third temple.
Preterism, mindful that Revelation is a letter addressed to the seven persecuted churches that existed at the time, does not change “you” to mean “they.”
Preterism takes “horses” and “bows and arrows” literally rather than spiritualizing them to make them mean “jets” and “bombs.”
Those are examples.
