The problem is you can't read the Bible without the Holy Spirit. You will either have no understanding or mistaken understanding unless the Holy Spirit reveals it to you because the Holy Spirit wrote it.

One proof is He used the same terms to mean the same thing throughout scripture. A tree in Genesis is a man and a tree in Revelation and everywhere in between is a man. An olive tree is an anointed man. Water is words. Satan has words and God has words. Satan comes as a flood and God comes as a fountain, spring, river, ect. Unnamed women are churches or denominations. Virgins are the church, widows are Israel, Harlots are the Babylon religion. The High Priest can only marry a virgin. Garments are "righteousness". You can have your own garment or receive a garment from the Bridegroom. Food is what you put in your body. Satan has food and God has food. Jesus is our Bread. Isa 4:1 speaks of the last Days church. They want their own garment and eat their own food, but they want to be called Christian instead of the church of Satan. Beasts of the field and unnamed birds are demons. There is a tree in Ezekiel so large that birds are in the branches( I am the Vine, you are the branches)and Beasts of the field are in the shade it creates. God will cut this man made religion down, but save the stump (Jesus). Dogs are unbelievers, Wolves are demons, "The Assyrian" is the Antichrist, Rocks and stones are always Jesus. Even Mathew 16:18 is saying the church will be built on the revelation that Jesus is the Christ, NOT A MAN. A billion people mistake this "rock" as a man (Peter) instead of Jesus. EVERY other instance of a rock, represents Jesus but somehow this instance is a man? If it was a man, why wouldn't it be John, whom Jesus loved? These same people will anoint the Antichrist( A Man) as their Messiah. This is the false prophet in Revelation. They are the Harlot in Revelation and the church of Thyatira. 7 is the number of God, 6 is the number of man, 3 is resurrection or the Trinity, 40 is the number of testing, 8 is eternity, every number has a meaning and can be looked up if you care. Colors have spiritual meanings also. It also helps to know the clean and unclean animals. There is a prophesy about a stork carrying a vessel and dropping a lead lid on it. You can't possibly know if it's good or bad unless you know a stork is an unclean bird to the Jews.

There are dozens more of these "idioms"( I call it spiritual language), throughout the whole Bible. The same person wrote Genesis as did Revelation. The more you study the Bible, the more sure you are of the author and the accuracy of it. The Bible is not something you read like the Clinton scandals.

There ARE mistranslated words and verses, however. As an example, Genesis 4:26 looks as though A son of Seth called upon the name of the Lord. Sounds like a good thing, right? But the Hebrew words say he "profaned" or "defiled" The name of the Lord. Big difference, especially for the people trying to make Seth some great Godly man that had descendants that were somehow "Sons of God" in Gen 6:1. Sons of God are angels everywhere in Scripture, why would a man be a son of God if he was born of human men and women? How would mating a Godly man with a daughter of man produce a 13ft monster? God spent a good part of the OT trying to wipe out these monsters inhabiting Canaan. It make more sense if these "Sons" were demonic beings thrown out of Heaven with Satan. No one doubts the Sons of God in Job were angelic.

There are more translation mistakes, but they are few and I don't know of any that would affect your salvation. Most of them are general information. Just knowing some of these spiritual representations will help enormously in understanding Scripture, esp. prophesy. An atheist can read the words in the Bible, but they have no idea what God is saying. Being Baptized in the Holy Spirit is the only way God will teach you His Word.

John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. You cannot follow Him if you don't hear His voice. It is imperative that He know you. He will tell you to go away from Him if He doesn't know you.

Saying the Word is not God's Word,..... you don't know Him. Saying it was written by men,.... you don't know Him. Jesus said He didn't come to judge us but to save us. But then He said the Word would judge us. You must know what's in it and you must believe it's true.

The Pharisee's memorized the first 5 books, yet they understood NOTHING! They didn't have the Holy Spirit. Pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Jesus will do it. Your understanding will increase.

BTW, Jesus said they needed ears to hear and eyes to see. That’s what I was talking about. Mark 8:22-25 show the giving of “eyes to see”. Jesus asked the man what he saw and he said he saw men like trees walking first. He gave him spiritual sight BEFORE He gave him normal sight. Jesus would rather he understand the Holy Spirit than see naturally.

Your “this represents that” statements are interpretations, nothing more.
