Rulers of Evil By F. Tupper Saussy

[allodial]

Consider He separated the waters from the waters. I interpret that to mean a fleshly interpretation and a heavenly interpretation. Therefore another out working of that expression is this flesh age. Unfortunately the keys are hidden so preacher most times teaches his fleshly understanding in history and locations. I see allegories. Therefore I do not get bogged down with fleshly meanings. As such I glean what I can but I sit at no mans feet.

I can appreciate your point.

Shabbat Shalom
Michael.

Likewise I appreciate your input. Spiritual meanings are important since spiritual things are spiritually discerned. But making literal interpretation far out of context is what Veith seems to be doing. Consider also that they are looking at Daniel vs the Revelations of John.

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains. Mathhew 24:16

According to Josephus and others they literally (believers) fled and headed toward a location called Pella (which means "rock" interestingly enough--a variant of 'petra').
