Taking God At His Word

Ken

“God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?” (Numbers 23:19 KJV). It is a shame, when we cannot appreciate the figurative language of poetry or the similitudes of Christ’s teachings. Though we should not always take our Lord’s meaning as literal, we must always take Him at His word. He means what He says! This should be the correct understanding of the Literal Interpretation of Scripture. “And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God” (Revelation 19:15). Return quickly, Lord Jesus. Amen.
