The Bible rarely states anything to the effect that "These words constitute a prophecy", and never gives us clues such as "this prophecy has a literal meaning" or "this prophecy has a symbolic meaning", or "this prophecy has both a literal and a symbolic meaning" and then goes on to indicate which words or parts are to be taken literally, and which symbolically. Rather, prophecies are simply stated, and as we shall see, sometimes without even a clue that they are indeed prophecies.2
(6:13)
