The Holy Scriptures use parables, proverbs, symbols and many illustrations taken from daily life to enable us to better understand the profound divine truths.

In the whole Bible there is symbolic language. When the Lord Jesus told Nicodemus that it is necessary to "be born again", He was using the natural birth as an illustration of a spiritual experience. "Behold the lamb of God" will be a very rare expression to anyone who does not know that it is the key to a symbol that goes from the first chapters of Genesis to the last ones of the Apocalypse.
