About this episode
Matt Plett examines one of the most misunderstood aspects of biblical prophecy: literalism.
In passages like Matthew 24 and Revelation, Scripture speaks of the sun darkening, the moon not giving its light, and stars falling from heaven. But are these events meant to be taken literally?
Drawing from Old Testament prophetic language, Matt shows how this imagery has historically been used to describe divine judgment and major covenantal shifts—not physical cosmic collapse.
If we misunderstand the language, we risk misunderstanding the message.
