Ahava in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism

Ahava, a-h a'-vå (Heb.)--stream; water. A river, beside which the Jewish captives gathered when returning to Jerusalem under Ezra (Ezra 8:15). Meta. A current of cleansing thought (stream) where the waters of denial (fasting, see Ezra 8:21) wash away fearful thoughts and material beliefs, thus enabling our religious thoughts (Jews) to proceed on their way to Jerusalem (spiritual consciousness) in safety.
