The Language of Prophecy will introduce you to how the bible often speaks in prophecy (which is most of the bible). As you become familiar with God's way of speaking, you will be less likely to be fooled by those who teach such language literally. God wants to know what he is saying, but he has reserved such teachings for the mature believer.
This new study series is currently under development (more content is on the way). The study guide is a working draft; this means that some content is available now. Videos will be made available as soon as possible rather than waiting for the entire series to be done.
