Will Isaiah 11:6-9 Be Fulfilled Literally or Figuratively?

Will Isaiah 11:6-9 Be Fulfilled Literally or Figuratively?

Will Isaiah 11:6-9 be fulfilled literally or figuratively? Since are strong views both ways, let’s look at what the Bible itself reports, and then analyze 

“And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a young boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox. And the nursing baby will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. They will do no evil nor act corruptly in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh As the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:6-9 LSB). read more

Does the Bible Call Bats Birds & Contradict Science?

Does the Bible Call Bats Birds & Contradict Science?

The Bible appears to contradict science by classifying ‘bats’ as “birds” in Leviticus 11:13-19. From science, we know that bats are actually mammals. Therefore, we do well to ask,  “Does the Bible call bats birds and contradict science?” Let’s analyze the scriptures and science and see.

“These shall you detest among the birds, they shall not be eaten: they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture . . . the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat” (Leviticus 11:13,19 ESV) read more

Did Jesus Ride Into Jerusalem On One or Two Animals?

Did Jesus Ride Into Jerusalem On One or Two Animals?

8 Things Most Christians Don't Understand about Jesus' Triumphal Entry

Did Jesus ride into Jerusalem on one animal? This is an alleged Bible contradiction:

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on how many animals?
(a) One – a colt (Mark 11:7; cf Luke 19:3,5). “And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their
garments on it; and he sat upon it.”
(b) Two – a colt and an ass (Matthew 21:7). “They brought the ass and the colt and put their garments
on them and he sat thereon.”

Jesus obviously did not ride into Jerusalem on two animals, only on one.

Zechariah 9:9 – foretold that the future King, the Messiah, would ride into Jerusalem on the colt of a donkey. Matthew quotes this fact in Zechariah 9:9, as he records the fulfillment of the prophecy:
“Now this took place so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled:

“SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, ‘BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU,
HUMBLE, AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY, EVEN ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A DONKEY.’”
The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their cloaks on them; and He sat on the cloaks.”—-Matthew 21:5-7 NASB read more
