218 DATE WITH THE GODS
"What about it?"
"I don't see it happening. If it did, don't you think we
would've heard something? This is much too spectacular
to go unnoticed by the news media."
"Remember, that was written nearly 2,000 years ago
by people who didn't know or understand our lingo. But
the imagery remains the same then and today. I already
told you that you can't expect to see a star fall on the
surface of the earth, because it's a physical impossibility
that a celestial body 3,200 times bigger in volume could
fall on it; it'll be the effects of attractional forces that
cause these things to happen over a period of time.
Daniel, John and now Fatima, speak of these events
as a period of time. Don't expect to wake up one day to
see that the sun has darkened, that the oceans are tinted
with blood, that people are dead or dying next to you
because the fire falling from heaven is burning them."
When they wrote about their visions, they tried to
give us their feelings of death, pain, blood, screams,
earthquakes, war, deceit, false prophets, famine, de
struction, cataclysms, using language and terms known
to them. This is why they resorted to symbolic lan
guage."
"What is 'symbolic language'?"
"Dream language. Like when they say 'a beast with
seven heads and ten horns.' John saw the imagery thanks
to his guide, the angel, who helped him understand the
visions. John couldn't write, 'a European confederacy
consisting of ten nations."'
"Got you, loud and clear."
"With a little intelligent reasoning you can read the
scriptures, the Fatima message, the Rodolfo Benevides
book, Dramatic Prophecies of the Great Pyramid, a few other
things, and you'll come up with a different outlook on
the symbolism of the Bible and make it more meaningful
for the second half of the twentieth century.
