Description
The Unseen Realm of Symbolism How powerful are symbols in our minds? How often does God speak to us through symbols not just in the Bible, but through our dreams as well? Although we interpret the Bible literally, this does not mean we ignore the symbols and metaphorical language that God uses. When Solomon calls his bride "a lily among thorns" in Song of Solomon 2:2, he is using symbols to declare the desirability and uniqueness of the Shulamite. It is scientifically proven that the brain operates in two modes: reading text (left hemisphere) and interpreting symbols (right hemisphere). With this fact we could say that the forms of communication are not entirely of language, but symbols, images and metaphors that are all part of our daily lives.
