Of-course, the Bible is _meant_ to be interpreted literally, being the word of "God".It says so in the Bible itself: "But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." (NAS, 2nd Peter 1:20-21)
I don't think that passage is meant to be taken literally.
