deal about the subject matter from the beginning of her delivery. She began by talking about the two different senses that the Bible is interpreted in the spiritual and literal sense. The literal sense, has little need for explantation because it essentially means reading the Bible and taking everything it says to be in a literal sense. On the contrary, we find that the spiritual sense we can discover different meanings of the words that are written in God’s word.…

When looking up the definition of literal it says “in accordance with, involving, or being the primary or strict…

stories, Metamorphoses, different readers misconstrue what they are told, while others understand the true meaning of what is said to them. Pentheus is an eisegetic reader which means he interprets a text by forcing his own ideas upon it. Pyrrha is a literal reader which means she can only see one meaning and can not recognize symbols or metaphors. Acoetes is an exegetic reader which means he can interpret the text perfectly. It is important to be an exegetic reader because you always have to…

Ezekiel symbolically used a metaphor of resurrection to manifest Israelites’ renewal achieved by God (256). For him, although Ezekiel’s prophecy is not about the literal meaning of resurrection, it is very meaningful because it first introduced the image of resurrection to Israelites (257). In addition, he asserts that Daniel prophesied the literal sense of resurrection ambiguously described in Isaiah 66 (263). That is, Daniel’s vision and prophecy comes from his thoughtful study of Isaiah 66.…

1. Personification. The "haughty day" is being compared to a person since it says the day is arrogant and proud. I am going to assume that the "fire" mentioned is sunlight and this comparison is appropriate because the sun proudly gives off sunlight when the day begins. 2. Simile. Southey is comparing words with sunbeams. This comparison makes sense because it is essentially stating that the more concise a word is the deeper the meaning that they possess. 3. Personification. Joy,…

raptured, inaugurating a seven-year tribulation period in the middle of which the Antichrist will make himself known (Rev. Rev. 13:1+) and instigate the “great tribulation” . . . At the end of that period . . . Christ returns in judgment, followed by a literal millennium (Rev. Rev. 20:1-10+), great white throne judgment (Rev. Rev. 20:11-15+), and the beginning of eternity . . . Classical premillennialism is similar but does not hold to dispensations. Thus there is only one return of Christ,…

Invisibility, defined as, “not visible; not perceptible by the eye; withdrawn from or out of sight; hidden,” can describe physical or metaphorical things or situations. For example, in the novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K Rowling, the protagonist, Harry, has a cloak of invisibility, which makes him physically invisible.
