biblical symbol

A “biblical symbol” refers to an object, figure, or motif that holds significant meaning within the context of the Bible. These symbols often convey deeper spiritual truths, moral lessons, or divine messages and are used throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Examples include the dove representing the Holy Spirit, the olive branch signifying peace, and the lamb symbolizing Jesus Christ as the sacrificial Savior. Understanding biblical symbols can enrich your study of Scripture by uncovering layers of meaning beyond the literal text.
