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.
