Nope ----its a recapitulation of the MORBID POETRY found
thruout the PHARISEE LITERATURE OF the times. Try
reading DANIEL, EZEKIEL and even the dead sea scrolls.
but try reading it with some level of understanding-----here is
an important clue. Everytime you see the phrase -----"GO UP"
as part of or included in the writing-----and generally presented
as ----the OUTCOME OF EVENTS------that "go up" refers to
the INGATHERING OF THE JEWS FROM THE DIASPORA ---back
to Jerusalem and the restablishment of ZION "UP" means
that hill upon which the temple is located.
Sorry---but it is true------it is the lingo of
the times------try to live with it ,
In the days of Jesus and Herodotus before him-----the middle
east from Egypt to Iran amd Greece amd Rome was wracked
with both WAR and ----some say climate change. There
was violence ----AND famine ---all around and the writings of
that time reflected that fact. There was also OPPORTUNISM ----
like that of the SEVEN HEADED MONSTER upon which rode
THE WHORE OF BABYLON (to understand the symbolism----
read AMOS) gee sherri-----you are dim. Did you pass ninth
grade Literature class?
