   A.L.W.A.Y.S.: A Literary Web Aligns Yahweh’s Symbols
   The Consistency of Symbolic Meaning in Sensus Plenior Hermeneutics

This course examines the structural and symbolic unity of the biblical text, where every symbol, word, and literary pattern contributes to a cohesive theological whole. Through the lens of sensus plenior, we will explore how Scripture—authored by the Spirit—displays unchanging meanings across time, genre, and covenant. 🧾 Introduction (for textbook or lecture notes):

   Introduction:

   The Scriptures are not merely a historical record—they are a divine tapestry. From Genesis to Revelation, a literary web has been woven by the Spirit, where symbols are not ad hoc or subjective but eternally aligned by the Author Himself: Yahweh.

   In this course, we explore how these symbols function across Scripture with consistency and purpose, anchored in Christ. We will analyze:

       Symbol constancy (e.g., water always represents the Word)

       Letter formations and Hebrew gate structures

       Reversal pairs and mirrored meanings

       Literary structures (chiasms, parallelism, inclusio)

   The thesis of this approach is simple but profound:

       A Literary Web Aligns Yahweh’s Symbols.
       Meaning is not invented; it is discovered.

📊 Visual Aids (3 examples): 1. Symbol Web Graphic

Title: The Literary Web of Consistent Symbols

A network-style diagram showing recurring biblical symbols and their aligned meanings across Scripture:

[Tree] — always → [Man] [Water] — always → [Word] [Mountain] — always → [Kingdom] [Left] — always → [Flesh] [Right] — always → [Spirit] [Bride] — always → [God’s People] [Darkness] — always → [Love] [Light] — always → [Holiness]

Lines connect verses from Torah, Prophets, Gospels, and Revelation to show their symbolic continuity. 2. Hebrew Gate Structure Chart

Title: Yahweh’s Authored Language: Symbolic Gates

A table showing common two-letter Hebrew gates and how they symbolize fixed relationships: Gate Meaning Reverse Reverse Meaning אב (av) Father (Initiator) בא (bo) Come (Invitation) יד (yad) Hand (Work) די (day) Enough (Limit of Work) מים (mayim) Water/Word — — רם (ram) Exalted מר (mar) Bitter

Arrows and annotations highlight how symbols operate in structured pairs. 3. Chiasm Overlay Example

Title: Aligned Symbols in Literary Structures

Overlay of a chiastic passage (e.g., Genesis 22 or Mark 14) with consistent symbol meanings across mirrored layers.

A. The Father calls the son

  B. They go to the place of sacrifice
     C. The wood is laid on the son
        D. God provides the lamb
     C'. The son submits
  B'. They descend together

A'. The Father receives him back

Each layer interprets symbolically:

   Father = God

   Son = Christ

   Wood = Cross

   Lamb = Substitution

Shows how literary structure reinforces symbolic unity.
