...The Bible revealed (part 4)

As we have already stated in the earlier parts of this post series, The Bible is a powerful book that is rich in symbolism and metaphor. The Bible can even be interpreted in symbolic ways that the majority of readers may not even be aware of. Emmet Fox was an early 20th Century New Thought Christian minister who taught of the symbolism contained within the Bible. Understanding the Bible and its symbolism is crucial to getting the most from the Bible’s spiritual teachings.

This series of posts is the result of time spent over a lengthy period of time carefully taking notes on the Bible symbols that Emmet Fox mentions in his many writings. It is my sincere hope that the reader grasps the value of his message.

Heathen

Heathens, enemies, strangers, these mean your own negative thoughts, which are the things that are causing your difficulties. They do not mean other human beings. Wrong thoughts are heathens because they do not know God. They are strangers to your real self, and, of course, they are the only enemies that you can have. All such enemies are to be destroyed, not by wrestling with them which only gives them power, but by righteous judgement - refusing to believe in them.

------------------------------------

A hill or mountain is uplifted consciousness. The great mystics and seers and teachers in the Bible are always spoken of as going up into the mountain to pray - the inference is that he got away from limiting thoughts and outer things to realize the presence of God.
