HoneyLamb56:
can someone suggest a website that explains what the bible symbols are and what they represent?  e.g. trees, candlesticks etc.;  I think I saw some place where Ray listed a few but can't find it now. 

Thanks, Diane

Hi Diane,

Here is an excerpt from the 2005 Nashville bible conference entitled "How Hard Is Getting Saved" where Ray spoke on some symbols from the Book of Revelation:

https://bible-truths.com/forums/index.php/topic,3849.0.html  - "How Hard Is Getting Saved"

It’s not talking about physical chronology or eschatology of the chronological order of events leading up to the return of Christ. This is for us, we’ve got to keep this. How do you keep the darkness?  How do you keep “everything in the sea dies”? How do you keep that? You have to know what it means... it’s a symbol. He’s signified this book in symbols. Why? So nobody on earth would ever understand it, except the very Elect. 

You can’t understand this book. Scholars have poured over this for millions of hours. They cannot understand this book. This book is SPIRITUAL, these are spiritual words, these are symbols. They are all the same. It’s not as hard as we thought when God’s opens it up, it takes on a simplicity.

These mountains, what are mountains? These are mountains in our life, not mountains over there in the Rocky mountain chain.  These are mountains - HUGE things in our life that have to come down!

The sea is the flesh - humanity. Everything in the sea has to die! This isn’t talking about killing fish in the Indian Ocean. Of what value is it to kill the fish in the Indian Ocean?

This is for us, the people who have the testimony of Jesus Christ have to live all this stuff. What is it? IT’S ALL ONE! It’s just like the parables and all of those other things... tree of good and evil, the 5 wise and 5 foolish, the tares and the wheat and every parable and every teaching. It’s all ONE! Directed toward us! All these things, the Old Testament, it’s all for US!

All these things take a lifetime. We’re going to live "the seals." A third part of the man died... that’s a third part of the man in us that is going to die, a third part of the carnality. God works in increments, He wipes out some of the trees and then He burns some of the grass… what is the trees and the grass? These are all things in us. We have islands, and mountains, and trees, and grass. All of these are belief systems and ideas and doctrines and philosophies of life and all these things. They are all going to be burned out and broken down and destroyed. All of those seven seals, seven trumpets, seven plagues, they are all things that must happen in our lives.

Thanks Rene

The Bible is an AMAZING crypto book - designed only for those who Our Creator choses to give the understanding required for salvation. It is all of Him!

John from Kentucky:
Yes, all symbols in the Scriptures are explained by other Scriptures if God guides your understanding.

No other sources outside the Scriptures are needed.
