Eat the Flesh and Drink the Blood:

Is 49:26 - “I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine.”

Ez 39:17-18 - “Assemble and come, gather from all sides to the sacrificial feast which I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast upon the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth.”

When interpreting a language, one must use the figures of speech that are common to that language. If someone claims that the expressions eat my flesh and drink my blood have a symbolic meaning, then these passages must be given the same symbolic meanings that is used in the Bible. But in Scripture the symbolic use of these terms always means to harm someone. Therefore, those who claim Jesus spoke symbolically are forced to conclude that Jesus meant: “Very truly, I tell you, unless you persecute (eat my flesh) the son of man and attack him (drink my blood), you have no life in you.” Obviously, this is nonsense!
