đď¸ EP46ď˝Why Does the Bible Compare People to Pigs, Dogs, Snakesâand Beasts?
The Bible uses some surprisingly strong images for people.
Some are calledâ
sheep.
Others are compared toâ
fish.
But others are described as
pigs, dogs, snakes, and even beasts.
Why?
If âfishâ can symbolize people,
could the âbeastsâ of biblical prophecy
also reveal something about human beings and human powers?
Jesus compared the Kingdom of Heaven
to a net cast into the sea.
It gathers fish of every kind.
But then comesâ
separation.
The good are kept.
The bad are thrown away.
So the real question may not simply be:
âWas I caught in the net?â
It may be:
âWhat will I be revealed to be when the separation comes?â
Daniel and Revelation repeatedly describe beasts associated with
power,
conflict,
persecution,
and domination.
And under pressure,
people are forced to make choices.
Will fear change what you believe?
Will comfort make you compromise?
Will power determine what you call truth?
The story of Noah presents a similar warning.
Before the flood,
ordinary life continued.
Then judgment revealed the difference between those who were prepared
and those who were not.
Perhaps trials do something similar.
They reveal what is already inside us.
So if the biblical net were cast todayâ
what kind of âfishâ would you be?
And when faith becomes costly,
what kind of person would you become?
