8. Figures always have a figurative meaning, and are used much in prophecy to represent future things, times and events, -- such as mountains, meaning governments, (Daniel 2:35, 44) beasts, meaning kingdoms, (Daniel 7:8, 17) waters, meaning people, (Revelation 17:1, 15) day, meaning year, etc. (Ezekiel 4:6) 9. Parables are used as comparisons to illustrate subjects, and must be explained in the same way as figures, by the subject and Bible. (Mark 4:13) 10. Figures sometimes have two or more different significations, as day is used in a figurative sense to represent three different periods of time, namely, first, indefinite, (Ecclesiastes 7:14) second, definite, a day for a year, (Ezekiel 4:6) and third, a day for a thousand years, (2 Peter 3:8). The right construction will harmonize with the Bible, and make good sense; other constructions will not. 11. If a word makes good sense as it stands, 154
and does no violence to the simple laws of nature, it is to be understood literally; if not, figuratively. (Revelation 12:1, 2; 17:3-7) 12. To learn the meaning of a figure, trace the word through your Bible, and when you find it explained, substitute the explanation for the word used; and, if it make good sense, you need not look further; if not, look again. 13. To know whether we have the true historical event for the fulfillment of a prophecy: If you find every word of the prophecy (after the figures are understood) is literally fulfilled, then you may know that your history is the true event; but if one word lacks a fulfillment, then you must look for another event, or wait its future development; for God takes care that history and prophecy shall agree, so that the true believing children of God may never be ashamed. (Psalm 22:5; Isaiah 45:17-19; 1 Peter 2:6; Revelation 17:17; Acts 3:18) 14. The most important rule of all is, that you 155
