Wow! This episode is jam-packed with fun themes, application, and interpretation! We explain the “Day of the Lord,” the importance of literary genre in interpreting the Bible, how Hebrew verbs work, pride as the source of disobedience. A few other things that get time in this episode: The Tower of Babel, the principle of “an eye for an eye,” and the Singapore Airport, mountains, and possessions.
We give an example of how to evaluate two differing interpretations of a passage of Scripture. There are so many little nuggets about interpretation in this episode: Hebrew verbs, evaluating different interpretations, literary genres, key themes, keywords, and prescriptive vs descriptive application. If you are looking for practical insights about reading and understanding the Bible, this is for you!
