In this segment, we'll examine how celestial imagery is used in the NT. In Luke 10:18, Jesus made this statement to his disciples: “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (NKJV). The question is: Was it a sight of the physical eye or perceptual understanding?
The king of Babylon was a narcissist with a godlike complex - This selfish mindset was one of the many reasons God burst his bubble by saying: " How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations?” Another reason for this long-standing misinterpretation might be the figurative language used by Isaiah.

In this episode I talk about six common sense rules for interpreting figurative language in scripture. We discuss several Bible passages in the process, including Revelation 5:6 and Ch. 21 where the New Heavens and New Earth are discussed. If you don't know what to think about a word or phrase in scripture, whether it is meant literally or figuratively, this is a must listen.
Elisabeth Camp is Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers, where she works on the philosophy of language, mind, and aesthetics. As she puts it, her research “focuses on thoughts and utterances that don't fit standard propositional models.” Liz and Robinson spend the first third of their conversation discussing the poetry of Emily Dickinson and its connections to philosophy. They then move on to the substantial corpus of Liz's work, touching on frames—or representational devices—various difficult-to-analyze speech acts and devices like insinuation and metaphor, and the semantics of maps.

Below you'll find the terms they reference in this episode and the definitions for those terms.

Observation: Literal and Figurative Language
Have you ever felt the “Ugh” feeling when you're choosing something you want to do and then you second guess your choice? I'm here to tell you that you're not alone. It's not your reality. There is a lot of self development work out there telling you that “You can do it!” “Don't listen to everyone around you.” And what if it's still challenging to choose what you desire? It's because it's not yours. You jump into other people's realities and think that it's yours. I'm here to tell you … it's not yours. When the “Ugh” feeling comes up, here are 2 questions that you can ask yourself to get out of the spinning.I can continue to choose to allow myself to be controlled by other people and the situation? - - OR- - I can continue to choose to choose for me and receive the judgment or thoughts about what it is I'm doing? If you're ready to take action and make another choice, I invite you to continue to ask questions and get even MORE CURIOUS about your choices. This stuff works!!!! If you work and use the tools.

Bringing you descriptive writing strategies has been like Christmas morning to me, and today might be my favorite strategy of them all. Have you guessed it yet? It's figurative language! In the last episode in the series about descriptive writing, I'm sharing my favorite and effective figurative language strategies. First, let's get on the same page. Figurative language is defined as the use of words in a way that deviates from the conventional order in meaning in order to convey a complicated meaning, colorful writing, clarity, or comparisons. Since this descriptive writing idea deviates from literal meanings, it can definitely be tricky for students to understand. However, the use of figurative language is a powerful way to express language, written expression, and keeping readers engaged. As I've stated throughout this series, keep exposing your students to the various descriptive writing elements, but keep it on their level. Meaning, start small and at a level they understand, then work your way to more complex components. Today I'm sharing seven figurative language strategies to start using in your classroom today.

A Bible study about paying attention to context and context clues when studying scripture, especially when prophecy is involved.1 Timothy 4:1-5 KJVNow the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.---During many of our podcasts, you will hear us make reference to “The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study,” a document which outlines core concepts shown in the scriptures that will help you better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines. We have done a whole podcast series on these principles which can be found here.Lastly, we recommend that you check out https://TrueWisdom.buzzsprout.com for additional Bible Study podcasts, covering many different Bible topics, and done in a slightly different format from the podcasts on this channel.We pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comRelated Podcasts:Understanding Context is Helpful2020-Q2-07 Lesson Review: Language, Text, and ContextSupport the show (https://cash.app/$ASBzone)

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (09/02/20), Hank returns to his series on exegetical eschatology, focusing on how crucial it is to recognize that Scripture is replete with figurative language. Figurative language requires readers to use their imagination to comprehend what the author is driving at. Such imaginative leaps are the rule rather than the exception. There are a wide variety of ways in which the inspired authors of the biblical text employ figurative language. The three most basic literary terms used to classify these figures of speech are metaphor, simile, and hyperbole. Biblical metaphors are never to be regarded as vacuous occasions for subjective flights of fantasy. On the contrary, biblical metaphors are always objectively meaningful, authoritative, and true. Metaphors have teeth—some are especially sharp. For further study please see The Apocalypse Code https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-the-apocalypse-code-for-gift/Hank also answers the following questions:What does the Bible say about extraterrestrial life? Does the Bible mention dinosaurs?Can you give us a preview on what you are going to say concerning Jonathan Cahn on an upcoming broadcast?I just joined this church called the Philadelphia Church of God, do you know anything about this church?

- The earliest figurative language - Early poems Literary Hyperlinks, vol. A, pp. 116-117
For many students, poetry is a mystery. Students often remark that reading poetry feels like staring at a locked box; the lines and stanzas act as barriers sealing in meanings that seem too difficult to free. The primary purpose of this unit was to find methods through which students might “unlock” poetry, freeing the mood, tone, and themes behind the lyrical language. Throughout this four-week genre study, students learned to identify various types of figurative language, using both musical songs and printed poems as sources. Students then learned to analyze the ways in which poetic devices affect the mood, tone, and theme of a poem, “unlocking” its messages.
