Replacement Theology Man Highlights

[Sean]

The literalist reads and believes this....

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb(Jesus).

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.


Piece of cake, few sign/symbols needed here.







Now the metaphorist(preterist) says.....

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the CHURCH, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the CHURCH were for the healing of the nations.


A clear change of the meaning here.
