Odd Metaphors

Revelations 21
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

There are a couple of metaphors found in the Bible that I do not take comfort in. These metaphors do not, to me, adequately express the profound, abstract, timeless, power of God. Above and below are such passages.

Isaiah 66
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

Some day, I might read and reconsider this post.  I might delete it.
