Apocalyptic Literature
Posted on November 16th, 2009 by Joyoz
The apocalyptic writings are charged with poetry, metaphor, fantasy. We must not make the mistake some of the fundamentalist do and interpret these passages literally. However, we must not make the opposite mistake of dismissing them as “nothing but” poetry.
Metaphor tells us truth more fully and more adequately that does plain prose. The truth is Heaven and Earth may indeed pass away but not before the Final Resolution in which good triumphs over evil and life over death. We don’t know when or how that will happen. Those issues really don’t matter. What does matter is that Jesus and his true followers will finally triumph.
