Allegory
Living in this maniacal material
world as a Christian, The core of my story is I'm living
in an allegory: Getting more and more material
things for me The core of my story is I'm living
in an allegory: In the end I realize these material
things are all vanity: New Jerusalem. --bro. tim
pickl allegory: a representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms; figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another. "Ye are the light of the
world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." "If ye were of the world, the world
would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you
out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." "Then I looked on all the works
that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and,
behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the
sun" "Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." "Him that overcometh will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write
upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon
him my new name." "And I John saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for
her husband." Return to Tim Pickl's Poetry Page
