  • Thx for detailed post. A lot of Charismatic/Pentecostal pastors & preachers see a lot of symbolism in bible verses & passages. Benny Hinn mentions in this video -->( youtu.be/mX_Ts0jAFNU?t=823 ) that Job 28:7-11 is about the benefits of praying and speaking in tongues. Jonathan Cahn associates Donald Trump as a modern day King Jehu(2 Kings 9:5, 2 Kings 9:25) because Jehu had to sort of realign the Northern Kingdom of Israel since she previously strayed away from God. Symbolism is all over the bible. Commented Jul 31, 2021 at 18:07
  • Yes, of course there is lots of symbolism, and I discussed that symbolism for the two prohibitions, but generally speaking inserting your own worldview into biblical accounts is not exegesis. Sharing the grave with the dead prophet is a symbol of being dead with Christ, for example, but if we start interpreting it as referring to organ donation or some other moral fashion, then we have left the world of exegesis.

  • +1 Quote: "There would only be one visit from God, as this was a message of irrevocable separation between God and the religious infrastructure of the city and once you divorce something you can never have fellowship with it again. There was to be no more contact between the apostate religous leaders and the prophet of God." --When God becomes serious about some sin in our lives, we better obey by correcting ourselves Commented Dec 21, 2021 at 19:17
