The Language of Metaphor-Part 4
The Third Day Radio Show for 03-03-2010-Synopsis #5: “The Language of Metaphor-Part 4” with Sue Patterson and Randy Maugans
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. - Revelation 13:18
We conclude the study of the language of metaphor with some insights into the operation of interpreting scripture from a fresh perspective…not the stale cartoon prophetic images of doom and destruction, but a concise and highly focused view of the meanings of the cryptograms and images which veil one of the most debated verses in prophecy:
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.- Revelation 13:18
The number of the beast is broken down into two numbers:
660 which refers to the Serpents and 6 which refers to the Scorpions. This number for each one is the number of a man, that man would be James Strong. It is the numbers which he assigned to each one of those definitions. He gave the number 660 to the definition for the Serpents; and he gave the number 6 to the Scorpions.
We already know that the beast is made up of the Serpents and the Scorpions. This verse tells us that the beast has the numbers 660 and 6 assigned to it, the definitions being Serpents and Scorpions. You can’t get any more literal than that. Numbers are to be taken
literally.
And while the apostate church looks for the chip with 666 in it and looking for an antichrist whose name adds up to 666 in the Greek or the Hebrew, or any other methodology they can conjure up, it is right before their eyes but they cannot see it. Why, because they are blind and deaf. But we, who are wise and understand these things look to the Metaphorical language to interpret the Word of God as He meant it to be interpreted by His people for we are the children of God.
