“True Bible teachers do not profess untestable infallibility; they study diligently, and prove their teachings by the Scriptures. They are willing to be examined by the light of the Bible. But false teachers hide behind their alleged revelations, mystical insights and allegorical presumptions. The following history will reveal the extent that the figurative method of Biblical interpretation has often led to fanaticism.”

“destruction of their city and temple and their dispersion among the nations, has been literally fulfilled; therefore all those Scriptures which relate to their Restoration must, likewise, be interpreted literally." (James R. Graves, The Work of Christ Consummated in Seven Dispensations, 1883)   "...the Jewish people will be found re-embodied as a nation...the greater portion of the Jewish nation will return to their land in a state of unbelief; that they will rebuild their city and their temple, and that God will choose that time to consummate His judgments on them: - that He will bring an host of invading armies against them, who will besiege their city...”

“Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.”

“Lucifer (see Isaiah 14), was the anointed cherub who fell, and became Satan, because of his pride. Yet, in Ezekiel 28, we learn that the place of his rule was on earth, in the Garden of Eden. After his fall, and judgment, God later replaced Satan with Adam, a new governor of the restored earth! No wonder Satan hates mankind!: Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and”

“Another form of divination resorted to was the Witch Cake. The servants of Parris (Tituba and her husband) made a "cake" from the urine of the afflicted girls mixed with rye. The cake was then fed to a dog. This was supposed to reveal the identity of a witch, since it was believed that she would suffer pain as the cake was eaten. Even Parris, on March 27, 1692, preached against this practice as a dangerous divination, that helped ignite the explosion:”

“Indeed, where occultism and divination become popular (regardless of the specific name used to justify these practices, whether they are called, "witchcraft," or "science," or "the secret," etc.), the result is always a horrible, historical tragedy (Germany had a mass "revival" of occultism before the Nazis came to power). John Hale was right, when he warned:”

“THE YEAR-DAY THEORY   We have mentioned that William Miller did not use the literal method of interpretation. He presumed that various days in the Bible represented years. The Bible does, in certain contexts, use days to represent years (Numbers 14:34, Ezekiel 4:6), but we have no right to assume that days in a prophecy are symbolic. For example, Jesus predicted how long He would be in the heart of the earth after His death (Matthew 12:40). When properly understood, this prophecy was exactly fulfilled. Although there is some controversy concerning the exact day Jesus was crucified, no reasonable person believes that these three days and three nights symbolized years. The prediction concerning the forty years of wandering in the wilderness (Numbers 14:33) was likewise literally fulfilled. Therefore, "days" refer to literal, future days in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. However, it is interesting that the historicist interpreters sometimes had some astonishing results.”
