Babylon; a city and a tower

"The disciples asked Jesus, why did he speak in parables? “He answered, and said vnto them, Because it is giuen vnto you to know the mysteries of the kingdome of heauen, but to them it is not giuen” (Mat.13:11). People who love untruth are not given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven; lest at any time they, seeing the creations of God and hearing the Word of God, “should vnderstand with their heart” (Mat.13:15) and will continue to serve idols.

Using events related to the descendants of Noah, Scripture shows us the events of the past, present and future time. This chapter discusses the historical significance of Bible verses written by the prophet Moses and understood by every person. Further, the prophetic meaning of these verses is examined. It, as a rule, is hidden from the reader, and only a person who trusts the Word of God understands it.

Every discrepancies and contradictions in the Bible exist for people from whom the prophetic meaning of verses is hidden, for them there is only open text."

Most Scripture is LITERAL in meaning.

A mark of a quasi/pseudo-Christian cult or of many false doctrines is to invent new meanings for Scripture, which aren't in Scripture at all. If that were ACTUALLY possible, we'd have no absolutes from God. Men could make anything they wanted out of His word.

In many places where Scripture is figurative/symbolic, an explanation is often given, such as the latter verses of Rev. 17.

When in doubt, believe Scripture LITERALLY where it isn't obviously symbolic, while PRAYING for the HOLY SPIRIT to guide you in understanding.

We do not consider here the literal meaning of Bible verses as “the word of men” (1 Thess. 2:13). We consider “a more true word of prophecy” (2 Peter 1:19), i.e. the word of Author of Scripture "as it is in trueth" (1Thess.2:13) KJV1611AV

Most Scripture IS literal. (Note: I don't use the KJV much; it's full of goofs & booboos.)
