Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I recently received a vision about clay jars being guarded by a man in some kind of storage room. One of these pots was the answer to a question I had asked before starting the journey. There was something profoundly disturbing about the whole scene, but I don't know what. I have a hunch that clay jars have some meaning in the bible (do they stand for the body as the vessel of the soul perhaps?--I am sure there is more to it, though). I known there are several Christian members in this list. Can somebody please give me the exact reference? Thanks! Sel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Selena, I can't give you the exact references, but two scriptures come to mind. One is where Jesus refers to himself as the potter, and we are the clay. The other is of a woman who is a widow, and in debt. She only has one jar of oil and her sons (two, i believe). The prophet Elisha or Elijah told her to borrow her neighbor's jars, and she started filling them with her one, and there was no end to the oil. Kind of like the loaves and fishes. Wish i were more of a bible scholar. xxoo julie --- On Thu, 7/10/08, selena255 <selena wrote: selena255 <selena Question about clay jar symbolism in the Bible Thursday, July 10, 2008, 1:59 PM I recently received a vision about clay jars being guarded by a man in some kind of storage room.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I don't know much about the bible, but I saw something recently about the plain of jars in Laos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_of_Jars Good luck Sel, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
