What ??? It is not G-D's word as you put it. No where in the Tannach is that written. The idea is also rejected in the Talmudh.

The point is it doesn't necessarily have to mean falling from the sky, but a metaphor indicating something that the Talmudh would agree with.

Could be a metaphor for the Kedusha, BUT the Kedusha never left the place that is why some say that one can't go to the place assuming one is impure, BUT to rebuttle them they are also wrong since the majority are impure with Tumat Met, we can go to the different places and give sacrifices even today.

Very interesting Tag!

What prophesy are you talking about? You just make up your own or you're referring to a specific quote?
The whole point of prophesy (REAL prophesy recorded in tanach, the neviim, NOT zohar which is not prophesy and not even the biggest kabbalist tries to claim it's nevuah) being in metaphors is that it doesn't make sense to take it literally ( if indeed a given prophesy is a metaphor). And here you are referring to some yet unknown passage as a metaphor but saying I have to believe it literally. Understanding a metaphor literally is a contradiction in terms!
