escatology and metaphors

what is eschatology? 
a part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind. 

so the theology of the end times, where we go when we die.
studying revelation, .... 
the gates of hell and heaven, etc

what is a metaphor? 
a figure of speech where a word or phrase is applied to an object or action that is not a literal application. 
symbolic, abstract. 

thinking about how to read something as we research and hear different information. 
do we read it as literal or do we not? 
how to understand things. 

(I'm starting to see how these two things effect each other and how we attempt to reason things into the way we want them to be.)
