The Valley of Dry Bones

Episode 621 Show Notes

From the Show

We have to recognize the genre of scripture we are looking at. Oftentimes in prophetic literature there are visions that are given to us that are symbolic of something else. You see this throughout Revelation. What are the Seven Lampstands in Revelation? They’re seven churches. In prophetic literature you have symbols and stories that are meant to demonstrate a greater reality.
