Bill,
The entire book of Revelations is symbolic. It was never meant to be interpreted literally or on a time line. In the spiritual, with the Holy Spirit from God’s Kingdom...there is no time. I have always felt that has been our curse.
So when you mention Jerusalem and “the mountains falling on us”... immediately I received the words of Yahushua (Jesus) when He taught in Mathew 21...
“Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”
Matthew 21:21-22 KJV
Why would He say that and WHY would it be connected to the mountains falling on people in Revelation because of the wrath of God?
Because TREES in the entire bible are Souls or a Man/Woman (Human).
From the very beginning until the very end. Read Psalm 1 for confirmation. God NEVER changes!
God also uses mountains and hills to describe principalities and tribulations. We see this in Mt. Carmel, Mt. Sion and Mt. Zion, etc.
And if you finally understand
Rev. 21:17 then the Bible from the beginning to end make more sense!
‘And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, THAT IS, OF THE ANGEL.’
So...here we are...
They cry out to the mountains and rocks that they worshiped and followed ‘fallen angels (Man)...1st Creation in Genesis...
“FALL ON US and HIDE US from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!”
Cities also God has used as describing certain souls (Man/Woman) in the entire bible. In Revelations He even describes the Earthly Jerusalem as “Spiritualy Sodom and Gomorrah”...that is the truth of what He feels about it in His Kingdom.
So now.....meditate and pray and read and think. Who are the Two Witnesses???
