The A to Z Guide to Bible Signs and Symbols is dedicated to all those who eagerly read the figurative language of Gods Word, appreciate the literary scope of Gods amazing written revelation, apply the truth presented in creative ways, and will immediately note with delight the many signs and symbols we didnt have room to include. Biblical signs and symbols can be described the same way the apostle John summarized the signs of Christ he chose for his Gospel:
Jesus performed many other miracles that his disciples saw. Those miracles are not written in this book. But these miracles have been written so that you will believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and so that you will have life by believing in him.
(John 20:3031)

W e want a sign! The demand was issued in a threatening tone that left unspoken the or else! that was part of the tense moment. Jesus had just cleared the temple court in Jerusalem that had been turned into a kind of farmers market / money exchange under the permission of the religious people in charge. They were not happy with Jesus, and decided the best way to get rid of him and bring back the merchants was to challenge his right to intervene. They demanded his credentials. Show us you have the right to order us around! Do a miracle! You claim to speak for God? Prove it! John 2:1322 gives us a glimpse of the significance of signs and symbols in the Bible. When his opponents demanded proof, Jesus said, Tear down this temple, and Ill rebuild it in three days (John 2:19). His hearers thought he was referring to the impressive buildings surrounding them, but John explains Jesus was using the temple as a symbol: But the temple Jesus spoke about was his own body. After he came back to life, his disciples remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scripture and this statement that Jesus had made (John 2:2122).
Before Jesus is actually recorded as having performed any miracles, he faced a similar challenge: If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread! (Matt. 4:3). Satan taunted him, Prove youre the Son of God. Show me a sign; whip up a miracle. The exchange that follows between Satan and Jesus during the wilderness temptation (Matt. 4:111) is one of the places in the Bible that emphasizes the significance of signs and symbols in understanding what God tells us in his Word.
Bible Signs and Symbols
Maybe your first question in opening this book is, what are signs and symbols and what is the difference between them? Good question. Signs point or draw attention; symbols represent. Signs are clues; symbols are pictures that denote an object, purpose, or concept. Public bathrooms around the world display recognizable symbols (usually on the door) that indicate male and female facilities. In some cases, signs and symbols work together. Walk through an airport in a foreign place and you will see signs displaying a plate and utensils, indicating a place to eat in the direction of the arrow. Signs are like calling cards, passports, and deedsnot necessarily related directly to an object, they confirm or prove a claim. The signs that you own a car or home are the keys in your hand and the title in your possession with your signature (itself a sign) on the correct line. Signs dont have to be documents; they can be unconnected events or circumstances whose occurrence indicates the truth of a different claim.
