Some symbols from the holy scriptures explained by Baháʼu'lláh and Abdu'l-Bahá.

WINE 

Yes, in the Bahá'í Faith, "wine" is often used metaphorically to symbolize divine knowledge, spiritual intoxication, and the joy of experiencing God's presence. This is similar to some Christian interpretations where wine represents the Holy Spirit or divine love, such as in the Eucharist.

FIRE 

Fire of Love and Devotion: The "fire of love" is a powerful symbol in Bahá'í writings, representing a deep, burning love for God, which leads to spiritual transformation. It is often seen as a force that purifies and refines the soul, just as fire refines gold. This fire can burn away the ego and selfish desires, allowing a person to grow closer to God.

Fire of Ignorance: On the opposite end, the "fire of ignorance" is used to symbolize the destructive and consuming nature of ignorance, particularly ignorance of spiritual truths. This fire leads people to suffer and can distort their understanding, much like how fire can burn and destroy if not controlled. 

Desire: In some of Bahá'u'lláh's writings, fire is used to symbolise the intense material desires and passions that bind humans to the earthly plane. These physical desires, driven by the ego and the self, can be seen as a "fire" that burns the soul, keeping it in a state of attachment to the material world and far from spiritual truth.

Purification and Transformation: In the Bahá'í context, fire is also used symbolically in relation to purification. Just as fire purifies physical substances, it symbolizes the spiritual purification of the soul. It can be seen as a transformative force, burning away impurities and revealing the essential purity of the spirit.

The Fire of God's Wrath: There is also the idea of a "fire of God's wrath," but this is not in the vengeful sense often depicted in older religious texts. In the Bahá'í Faith, God's wrath is more about the consequences of turning away from the Divine, leading to the burning anguish of spiritual separation.

FIRE VERSUS LIGHT

Light of Fire: In some ways, the symbolism of fire can be connected to light, where the light represents the knowledge and guidance of God. Just as fire provides light in the darkness, the divine light helps illuminate the path for humanity.

Light as a Spiritual Symbol: Light, on the other hand, is often used as a symbol of divine guidance, knowledge, and the illumination of the soul. Spiritual light represents the truth of God's teachings, the "light of the heart," and the spiritual awakening that comes when a person turns toward God and seeks enlightenment. Bahá'u'lláh often speaks of the "light of His Revelation" as something that brings clarity and understanding to those who seek it.

This distinction between fire and light aligns with the broader duality in many religious traditions where material and spiritual forces are often represented by opposites. Fire (the earthly, material) is something that can consume and destroy, whereas light (the spiritual) is something that nourishes and enlightens.

This distinction is a reminder that in the spiritual journey, one must transcend the earthly "fires" of material attachment and desire to embrace the "light" of divine knowledge and guidance. It's a powerful metaphor for the transformative process that Bahá'ís believe leads to true inner peace and enlightenment. Fasting is illumination, prayer is light. 

Dette sitatet fra Baha'u'lláh uttrykker en dyp åndelig betydning, og bruken av metaforen "vin" er spesielt interessant. I denne sammenhengen kan "vin" symbolisere en intens og høyverdig åndelig opplevelse, noe som går utover det fysiske og overfladiske.

Tolkning av: Tro ikke at det kun er en lovsamling vi har åpenbart for dere. Nei, snarere har vi brutt seglet på den utsøkte vin med maktens og styrkens fingre.

Baha'u'lláh sammenligner her åpenbaringene sine med en vin som er blitt åpnet, og som derigjennom blir tilgjengelig for de som er i stand til å motta og forstå den. Det antyder at hans åpenbaring ikke er en enkel samling av lover eller regler, men en kraftfull åndelig drikk som kan transformere mennesker, gi styrke og visdom, og lede dem mot en dypere forståelse av Gud og av deres eget åndelige potensial.

Denne vinen kan også representere den åndelige "styrken" og "makten" som Baha'u'lláh bringer med sin lære, og hvordan denne kraften kan ryste det gamle og åpne for noe nytt, akkurat som å bryte et segl og åpne en flaske vin.

Så, på en symbolsk måte, kan dette sitatet uttrykke at Baha'u'lláhs åpenbaring er en livgivende kraft som ikke bare handler om lovgivning eller regler, men om å gi menneskene en dypere, mer essensiell åndelig opplevelse som kan føre til transformasjon og vekst. I mange religiøse tradisjoner, inkludert i Bahá'í-tradisjonen, er vin et symbol på åndelig erkjennelse og åpenbaring. På samme måte som vin kan være noe som er gjæret og modnet over tid for å få sin fulle smak, kan "vin" i denne sammenhengen referere til de dype åndelige innsiktene og sannhetene som Baha'u'lláh har åpenbart for menneskeheten.

Kledning: Åndelige egenskaper og aura.

De høyeste tinder: De høyeste åndelige nivåer.

Hav: Der visdom er.

The terms “sun,” “moon,” and “stars” primarily signify the Prophets of God, the saints, and their companions, those Luminaries, the light of Whose knowledge hath shed illumination upon the worlds of the visible and the invisible. These beings have a lofty position. In another sense, by the terms “sun,” “moon,” and “stars” are meant such laws and teachings as have been established and proclaimed in every Dispensation, such as the laws of prayer and fasting. Inasmuch as fasting cause the heat of the body to increase, it hath therefore been likened unto the light of the sun; and as the prayer of the night-season refresh man, it hath been compared unto the radiance of the moon. By the words “the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven” is intended the waywardness of the divines, and the annulment of laws firmly established by divine Revelation.

"When the heaven shall be cloven asunder.”: By “heaven” is meant the heaven of divine Revelation, which is elevated with every Manifestation, and rent asunder with every subsequent one. By “cloven asunder” is meant that the former Dispensation is superseded and annulled. 

His Sun giveth Light continually, and the Clouds of His Mercy are full of the Waters of Compassion with which He waters the hearts of all who trust in Him. His refreshing Breeze ever carries healing in its wings to the parched souls of men!

Fire: Gods love. https://bahai-library.com/compilation_fire_symbol

Hellfire: "Do not associate with the wicked, because the company of the wicked change the light of life into the fire of remorse.

Heaven and hell: Think ye of love and good fellowship as the delights of heaven, think ye of hostility and hatred as the torments of hell. Where is Paradise, and where is Hell? Say: 'The one is reunion with Me; the other thine own self. There is no fiercer hell, no more fiery abyss, than to possess a character that is evil and unsound; no more darksome pit nor loathsome torment than to show forth qualities which deserve to be condemned.

The meaning of Jesus dying for our sins is this: Christ sacrificed Himself so that mankind might be freed from the imperfections of the material nature and endowed with the virtues of the spiritual nature. Abdul Baha Know thou that when the Son of Man [Christ] yielded up His breath to God, the whole creation wept with a great weeping. By sacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused into all created things. We testify that when He came into the world, He shed the splendor of His glory upon all created things. He it is who purified the world. Blessed is the man who, with a face beaming with light, hath turned towards Him. 

Beasts: Baha’is believe the biblical beasts are allegorical descriptions of the organised forces that always oppose new revelations. Symbolically, the first beast refers to the armies that opposed Muhammad. 

Life and death: By the terms 'life' and 'death,' spoken of in the scriptures, is intended the life of faith and the death of unbelief. His Holiness Jesus Christ has pronounced that those who have not received a portion of the divine spirit are dead. The wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23 Wherever in the holy books they speak of raising the dead, the meaning is that the dead were blessed by eternal life. 

Only the believers in the Prophet Noah were spiritually alive, safely preserved in the "ark" of His Faith, and the other people on the earth were spiritually dead. By this bread is meant the heavenly sustenance of divine perfections. In other words, whoso partakes of this sustenance—that is, whoso acquires the outpouring grace of God, draws illumination from His light, and obtains his portion of the perfections of Christ—will attain everlasting life. What is meant by blood, likewise, is the spirit of life, which consists in divine perfections, heavenly splendours, and eternal grace.

Water: The knowledge of God; life. But the heavenly water and spirit, which are knowledge and life, make the human heart good and pure; the heart which receives a portion of the bounty of the Spirit becomes sanctified, good and pure -- that is to say, the reality of man becomes purified and sanctified from the impurities of the world of nature. Water is the cause of life, and when Christ speaks of water, He is symbolising that which is the cause of Everlasting Life. This life-giving water of which He speaks is like unto fire, for it is none other than the Love of God, and this love means life to our souls.

Grave/tomb: Heedlessness and error. Behold, all the people are imprisoned within the tomb of self, and lie buried beneath the nethermost depths of worldly desire! 

Leprosy: Through Him the leper recovered from the leprosy of perversity and ignorance. Leprosy may be interpreted as any veil that intervene between man and the recognition of the Lord, his God. 

Angels: People who have replaced faults with divine attributes. Those who, reinforced by the power of the spirit, have consumed, with the fire of the love of God, all human traits and limitations, and have clothed themselves with the attributes of the most exalted Beings and of the Cherubim. The meaning of ‘angels’ is the confirmations of God and His celestial powers. Likewise angels are blessed beings who have severed all ties with this nether world, have been released from the chains of self and the desires of the flesh, and anchored their hearts to the heavenly realms of the Lord. These are of the Kingdom, heavenly; these are of God, spiritual; these are revealers of God’s abounding grace; these are dawning-points of His spiritual bestowals. 

Adam and Eve: Adam signifies the heavenly spirit of Adam, and Eve His human soul. For in some passages in the Holy Books where women are mentioned, they represent the soul of man. 

The tree of good and evil signifies the human world; for the spiritual and divine world is purely good and absolutely luminous, but in the human world light and darkness, good and evil, exist as opposite conditions.  

Serpent: The meaning of the serpent is attachment to the human world. This attachment of the spirit to the human world led the soul and spirit of Adam from the world of freedom to the world of bondage and caused Him to turn from the Kingdom of Unity to the human world. When the soul and spirit of Adam entered the human world, He came out from the paradise of freedom and fell into the world of bondage. From the height of purity and absolute goodness, He entered into the world of good and evil. The tree of life is the highest degree of the world of existence: The position of the Word of God, and the supreme Manifestation.
