Speaking historically or speaking from the standpoint of mortal man on earth looking up, a literal rendition of the Bible is the best we can hope for. But starting with Spirit, God, as Jesus always did, we can see as Jesus did or does. God is pure Spirit and has so much more to reveal when we’re ready. What “will happen” to mortal man’s limited view is forever in the future. But from God’s standpoint it is and always was done.
