Surely the bible doesn't use symbolism?  That's just ridiculous imagination...

In Revelation 12, a woman is symbolic of the nation of Israel, and in Revelation 17 and 18 she represents the false system of Babylon. In Isaiah 47, a woman is again symbolic of Babylon (whether the nation or the system of Babylon). In Galations 4:21-31, Paul uses "women" to symbolize the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. In Ezekiel 16, God uses a woman to symbolize Israel: "Aholah" is the kingdom of Israel and "Aholibah" is the kingdom of Judah.

What can we understand from this? Every time a woman is used as a symbol, the common denominator is the idea of a system of beliefs and practices that influence other people. A church or religion is a system of beliefs and practices.



Now do you understand the virginity of the 144,000?

ok, ok.

So, when one of the Commandments tells me not to covet my neighbor's wife, it means it symbolically.
It means I should not pray to gods of a neighboring nation.
So, I can have sex with that married woman  who lives next door.
Thank you for putting my mind at rest.

Is that in Revelation, one of the 66 books in the collection called "the bible", known to be extremely symbolic?

I don't swallow it whole and neither should you.
