Apocalyptic Language

If the apocalyptic language associated with judgment in the Old Testament was never interpreted in a literal manner, shouldn’t Jesus have told His listeners, and John his readers, that this same apocalyptic language was to now be taken in a literal sense? (p. 199, Behind The Veil of Moses)

This chapter will lay out side by side Old Testament and New Testament apocalyptic passages. You’ll be amazed at the similarities in wording, and at the same time hopefully be amazed at the dissimilar interpretations. The widely accepted figurative interpretation of the Old Testament passages mysteriously becomes literal interpretation for the same type New Testament passages. The popular, literal view of New Testament apocalyptic language is called into question.
