Do not press metaphors too literally else they collapse | |
| Jan 24, 2021 at 10:21 | comment | added | whiskey92 | Thanks Dottard. Would like to clarify: the literal understanding of a military / political conquest & rule of Edom - does that extend to the metaphoric understanding too? (i.e. Israel will somehow conquer and rule over "all the nations"?) Ozzie (thanks for the response) references Apostle James' interpretation, which seems quite different from a "conquest / occupation / ruling over" interpretation of the word "possess" | |
