God is your guide to interpretation. Consider an example of great confusion. Forget the metaphors in the Bible, creation, particularly the prophecies of the former President to determine how the world and the eclipse of the sun, moon and stars, to the confusion.
Do not claim to special knowledge. We believe that familiarity with the language of the prophets, someone that the best interpreters of Scripture, especially eschatology.
Moonen Sun and stars.
Some see the lights in the sky like a star in our solar system. God, but uses a broader definition of the sun, moon and stars, in particular the teaching of the prophets.
To share the fourth day of creation, God created the light of day and night. Many people recognize. However, the statement that follow is what people miss about the lighting. God says: "If the characters, moments, days and years."
And God made two great lights, the sun and moon, day and night to control. He made the stars.
We all know that the seasons, days and years. What do "sign". God tells us that the use of the sun, the moon and the stars as signs or symbols. The reading of the prophetic language of the Bible, including the end of time message to show how God luminaries as signs and symbols.
The first prophecy, lights and signs and symbols.
Joseph dreamed of sheaves bowed to his file. His brothers were aware that the dream that one day Joseph will reign over them. José Domain inflated his jealousy.
Joseph had a dream. God uses the sun, the moon and the stars in the dream of Joseph. Then the dream of another, and said to his brothers and said, 'Look, another dream. And this time, the sun, moon and eleven stars bowed down to me. " (Genesis 37:9).
Joseph said that the dream of his father and brothers. His father criticized him and said: "What is this dream you had?" I, your mother and your brothers and sisters to King! "(V. 10).
Jacob, probably something suspicious through the inspiration of this dream. He left no doubt, but in its interpretation. He realized that represent the dream, the sun, moon and eleven stars of his wife Rachel, Joseph and eleven older brothers. In particular, Jacob, head of the family, the sun in a dream. Rachel takes the position of the moon. The eleven brothers, the stars.
After the dream of Joseph, who all have one and love it. Today is all that is the youngest of the family. The last of life in the prophecy is true, it is governed.
Increase the attention of Joseph in Egypt.
After Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream, he was appointed governor of all Egypt, the pharaoh alone on the throne. (Genesis 41:40-44, 45.8, 26). Latter, during the famine, Jacob sent his son to Egypt for food. When they arrived, spoke with Joseph, and worshiped him "(Genesis 41:26, 28). Later his family moved to Egypt and were under the rule of Joseph.
The prophetic dream. The sun, moon and stars, and leaned 50:19 to Joseph (Genesis). He had dominion over them. Here is an example of the sun, moon and stars to be used figuratively, it is the people - Jacob, Sunny, Rachel, the moon and the stars of eleven children. And God said to the sun, moon and stars and characters.
With this understanding, the language of the prophets, we understand how God has used the symbol of the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from the sky. Many choose to understand the literal language and purpose of the physical world in which we live. See Part II for applications in the language of biblical prophecy.
