Biblical Meaning of Fish in Dream.
One of the most famous scripture in the new testament is this:
Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19 NKJ.
So what do those fish symbolise in the bible? HUMANS.
Through this scripture, you can see clearly that fish symbolize men. And fishing is essential meaning…” Catching people.” Not convinced yet? Let us continue.
- Evangelism.
- Pulling people out of darkness, or situations that may likely crumble them, their faith, etc: Reference Bible Verses: Mark 1:17, Luke 5:5-10, Matthew 13:47-49.
Outside of the scripture, you can also tell that fish means people too. For example, There are sites like PlentyofFish, and popular phrases like “There are so many fishes in the river”. This means that there are so many girls/guys out there you can meet and date, right?
Next, now would be a good time to recall how you got the fish and where. Answering the questions below would truly get you a better understanding.
- Was it with a fishing pole? With bait?
- With a net?
- With a spear?
- With your hands?
- Was I in a boat, dock, shore…etc?
- Fishing alone or with others?
- What was the body of water? Lake, sea, pond…etc?
Knowing the answer to these question can help you interpret your dream better. Lets say for example, you were dreaming of catching a lot of fish in a small pond. This could represent, that your small start up business will flourish and be fruitful.
