PERSONIFICATION
trees clapping their hands and mountains singing (Isa. 55:12). We are not meant to think that trees will actually clap their hands, for trees do not have hands, and it would be silly to think the mountains will sing notes, for mountains lack voices. Instead, Isaiah personifies the trees and the mountains in order to stress the great joy that will result when God’s people return to Him. |
HYPERBOLE
we find hyperbole is in Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed (Matt. 13:31–32). Jesus does not mean that there is no seed smaller than the mustard seed; He is simply pointing to the smallest seed commonly found in ancient Palestine to make a point about the kingdom. The kingdom starts out so tiny as to be all but invisible, but from its small beginnings, it grows into a large realm. |
METAPHOR
here is the literary form of metaphor wherein a speaker or author uses a word or phrase that normally designates one thing in order to designate another. For instance, Jesus says, “I am the door of the sheep” (John 10:7). Jesus does not mean that He has a doorknob on His body but that He is the only means of entry into God’s kingdom, just as a door is the means of entry into a room. |
