What Does the Camel Mean in the Bible?
Camel = the mind built to carry — patience that crosses a dry place on what it has stored inside. Endurance in you, not a beast of burden.
How it shows up in the Bible
A camel goes through the eye of a needle about as easily as a rich man enters the kingdom, and the point is not the animal. It is that the thing built to carry everything cannot get through the narrow place until it unloads. Camels also carry the wise men's gifts across the desert: endurance is what delivers what matters, slowly.
