Again, the word “water, waters, or rivers,” are used. I trace the words and find an explanation in Revelation 17:15, And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.--- it means “people, multitude, nations.”
Again, I find the word “bird or fowl,” and in Isaiah 46:11, Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. It is, used meaning a conqueror or warrior, to wit, Cyrus. Also in Ezekiel 39:1-9, denotes armies or conquerors.
As prophesy is a language, somewhat different from other parts of Scripture, the events foretold are not all told by one prophet.
As prophesy is a language, somewhat different from other parts of Scripture, the events foretold are not all told by one prophet.
And yet there is a perfect chain.
They interweave their prophecies in such a manner that you take away one, and a link will be wanting.
Truth is one undeviating path, that grows brighter and brighter the farther we pursue it."
