Bible Prophecy Symbols: Can you interpret for me?
Bible Prophecy Symbols: It is important to note that in interpreting the prophetic symbols listed below we have not depended on our own whit or wisdom. The interpretation of these prophetic symbols is derived exclusively from the Bible. We have let the Bible be its own interpreter. This has been the will of Yahuwah; that His people unlock the meaning of these prophetic symbols by going back to His word. By doing so, our loving Father has leveled the field before all His truth seekers, so that no one would be disadvantaged in the study of His prophecies.
