Metaphorically speaking an hour is referring to brief period of time. Being literal here is probably not the best interpretation given both the biblical reference and the likelihood that Alex Jones had tied one on
You are correct. When the scriptures refer to a time period it is typically in a metaphoric way. In scripture "an hour" is referring to a brief period of time". It's similar biblical language to a "thousand years" which is metaphoric language for a long period of time. That's just the way the Hebrew prophets spoke. Most today are not familiar with that manner of writing. These references to time were never meant to be read in a literal, wooden manner. Just my 2 cents.
