Bible Symbols Decoded
The heavenly bodies are commonly used as denoting governments and leaders (see Ezek. 32:6-8; Isa. 1:1,10; Luke 21:25, etc.) SUN - The Throne of David - (Psalm 89 v 36) - which is the Throne of the Sun of Righteousness when he returns to the earth. MOON - The Moon Reflects the light of the SUN. The SUN is the Throne and the "Church" reflects light and power (like the moon does to the sun). The moon is the symbol of the Ecclesia Rev 12:1 STARS of heaven - Princes, rulers the saints who are the co-heirs with Christ. (it is a political symbol as can be seen from the U.S.A 50 stars on their flag, "STAR spangled banner" etc.)
HEAVENS - Political systems (above the mountains). MOUNTAIN - Government - (Micah 4 v 1). EARTH - Downtrodden people (oppressed and poor). EARTH-QUAKE - Great upheaval of the EARTH (as above). SEA - Restless, moving people who are not as oppressed and are free to move around (Psalm 65 v 6,7). WATERS - Peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues (languages) (Revelation 17 v 15). HORN - kingdom horns of the wild-ox; - Unique horns - "One Kingdom, without end" - God's Kingdom on Earth - coming soon. see Numbers 24:8
Numbers 24:8 GOD having brought him forth out of Egypt, The very horns of the buffalo, are his,--He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, And shall break their bones in pieces, And smite them through with his arrows. OLIVE - The "House of Israel" - (the people not country) FIG tree - Jews (Matt. 21 v 20), Christ cursing the unfruitful or unfaithful for ever in verse 19. DAY - Year in prophecy (Ezekiel 4 v 6) (Revelation 9 v 15). MONTH - 30 years in prophecy (Rev. 11 v 2,3 - 42 x 30 = 1260). SEVEN - The number of completeness in Scripture. You need to use discernment to see what is logical and sensible and whether the words are to be interpreted in their normal way or in God's symbolic language. A perfect example of this is when Christ said, "IF, you have enough faith and you say to this mountain, fall into the sea and it will (Matt. 21 v 21)", it clearly did not mean an actual mountain and the sea. It was symbolic language.
The mountain means government and restless dis-satisfied people are the sea.
Think about it. A mountain (that is a government) towers over and looks down upon the people (who are the sea) and the sea looks up at the mountain. The sea (people) cannot remove the mountain (government) without a tsunami. Now you can start to decode the Prophecies and understand them for your self.
