the thing about the Bible is that it's impossible to tell what you're supposed to take literally and what's metaphorical.

For example, depending on which Gospel you read, Jesus says different things during his crucifixion. So you can't take anything he says there as being his literal last words.

So is the Book of Revelations supposed to be literal or metaphorical? Or both? Different theologians will give you different answers. This is how shit like the great schism and the protestant reformation happens.

Welcome to the Bible, where nothing is straight forward.
